Question:
What happens if you get sued and can't pay the amount?
2010-11-03 10:33:09 UTC
I'm being sued for copyright infrigement for selling electronic solution manuals. The settle amount the plaintiff is requesting is about $15,000 (from taking my profits which was about $4000 dollars then tripling it and adding legal fees). I am a college student who barely has any money right now(under $1000 in my bank account) and they've told me if i dont settle now and go to deposition the amount will rise. I'm 19 years old and I know I can't pay nearly the amount that they are requesting even through their monthly payment plan which requires me to put down $2000 initially, and my parents are financially strapped as well so they can't help me. What's going to happen since i cannot pay this amount any time soon?

Depends upon how willing the other party is to work with you on a payment plan. If they're unwilling, and you can't/don't pay, then they'll have to seek other means of enforcing the settlement or judgment. That can include garnering your wages (if you have a job or get one later), putting a lien on any property you own (car, home, etc.), possibly forcing a sale of property you own, putting a levy on any bank accounts, levying your tax refunds (if any), etc. And there's no requirement that they do this right away . . . if they have a judgment, it's typically good for about 10 years (will vary by jurisdiction) and can be extended. So, they could sit on it for quite a while, then go after property, bank accounts, wages, etc. once you have them (and the amount will be accruing interest the whole time).

GET FREE MONEY AT HOME!!!



STEP 1: Get six separate pieces of paper and write the following on

each piece of paper, ?PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.? Now get 6

US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so

the bill will not be seen through the envelope (Please make sure that

the bill wouldn?t be noticed in the envelope to prevent thievery )

Send out US $ DOLLAR, so it would be more acceptable.



STEP 2: Next, place one paper (with the bill inside) in each of the

six envelopes and seal them properly. You should now have six sealed

envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the phrase: ?PLEASE PUT

ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST,? your name and address, and a $1.00 bill.

What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!!

You are requesting for a legitimate service and you are paying for it!

Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about

the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post

office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!

MAIL THE 6 ENVELOPES TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESSES BELOW:

#1.) Andrew Bunn

149 Peregrine Way

Divide, CO 80814

#2.) Rob Chaney

1021 Brookley ST.

Jackson, MS 39212

#3.) Bob Blume

33055 Romero Dr.

Temecula, CA 92592

#4.) Victor Bell

5820 N Kenmore

Chicago, IL 60660

Apt. 201

#.5) Brandon Bloom

6878 Navajo Rd. #111

San Diego, CA 92119

#.6) James McCauley

3227 RT 66

New Bethlehem, Pa 16242



?STEP 3: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move

the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, ect?) and add YOUR Name

as number 6 on the list.



STEP 4: copy this article. Change anything you need to, but try to

keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now, post your

amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close

to 2.4 million groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you

post, the more money you make!!! (You can make thousands of dollars

more if you add just 20 more newsgroups to the 200) This is perfectly

legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18, Section 1302 and

1341, US Postal and Lottery Laws or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US

code, also in the code of Federal regulations, volume 16, sections 255

and 436, which states; ?a product or service must be exchanged for

money received.? The simple note in the letter, ?PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR

MAILING LIST,? Makes it legal because you are paying for exchange of a

service, (adding the purchasers name to his mailing list) for a $1.00

fee.

KEEP A COPY OF THESE STEPS FOR YOURSELF, and whenever you need the

money, you can use it again and again! PLEASE REMEMBER that this

program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the

participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look

at it this way: If you are of integrity, the program will continue,

and the money that so many others have received will come your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,

either on a computer or hard copy, and keep the notes people send you.

This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also it might

be a good idea to wrap the $1.00 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk

of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions

carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their

participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will

move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1

position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an

opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people

listed above) Send it now, add your name to the list and you?re in

business!
