Drive fast, live hard, no regrets... Sorry Penske
 

There's something a little off about that last sentence.

Question
 

I am sorry to hear about this. I had a similar situation, though for a lesser amount of money, and I just paid it and moved on. But, again, it was for about half that amount.

Between jobs. Good one.

The only thing I respect less than a legal scholar is a judge. That is the height of laziness.

Until people stop treating this business as some storied "profession," we will be stuck with the overpopulation of dorks, douchebags and freaks who cover it like flies on an open dumpster. I blame the teachers.

Question
 

I know some people. Pipes and crowbars and such...how much does he like his kneecaps?






Sorry about this. Sucks.

Question
 

Is it on your credit report already?

Do you own or rent?

As opposed to the debtor, can a guarantor discharge its obligations to guaranty a student loan in bankruptcy?

How do you feel about the Second Amendment?

Paigow, be careful now. The Mod on PB has been throwing his weight around and deleting posts left and right. We showed proof to RT and she says its cool- mod status is like being a made man in la cosa nostra she says, once you're a mod only another mod can challenge you, the "normal" people just have to hope they don't get a mod mad.

Question
 

When did he default? If it's after the limitations period, I wouldn't do a thing. Find that out before offering up a dime.

Funny stuff, Hank.

Question
 

Doesn't your divorce decree specify who is responsible for which debts? Isn't this one specified as his? I'm guessing the student loan company doesn't give a shit about this, but it seems like you could allow it (the default) to show up on your credit report and then attach a statement to the credit report (there's a way to do this) that says your divorce decree makes this debt his reponsibility, and here's a copy to prove it.

If it was 21 hundred dollars I might feel differently but I can't imagine just handing over 21K without a fight....

Question
 

I was gonna say, if you can negotiate it down such an incident on your credit report may not be so big a deal IF you own a home. Mortgage payments on time for years will trump getting stuck with some post-divorce fallout. Does he have anytihng you can attach?

I blame the teachers' unions, but otherwise I am with you man!

Question
 

sue your divorce lawyer for malpractice for failing to get the guarantee rescinded or otherwise covered for?

Seems like option 1 is the heavy-handed bank approach of making their problem your problem by threatening your credit record (I suppose not unreasonably). How does it differ from 3, btw?

Can you work out some sort of payment arrangement with them--either you make an initial payment with continued payments over time, or you put your money in escrow/savings to back your payment obligation? That buys you time to pursue 3. The idea is to keep them happy enough to stay away from your credit record for now, keep unreasonable interest from accruing, but stick him with his debt.

Too bad you can't just sneak into his house using the key you still have, take the money and the lunchboxes, and move on.

Question
 

Nice use of white space. You were able to express an appropriate level of sympathy without distracting from the hilarity of the initial statements. In fact, I was just finishing chuckling about the kneecaps comment and was transitioning into feeling a little bad about laughing about ncs' sad situation when I stumbled across your coda and immediately began nodding in concerned empathy. Well played.

Question
 

Where's that 5 large you owe me from the Bama/Auburn game?











Pay me or I will kill you.

Question
 

Interesting thing is, I knew an ex-cop in Chicago who was still on the City dole....er...payroll, who once offered this very solution to another friend's problem. He said he knew some of his ex-colleagues who did contract work. This is why I support the Second Amendment so vigorously.
