Demand Letter
Washington
Drafting tone in a demand letter?
I recently received a demand letter from a creditor for an unpaid debt. I am unsure of how to respond in a way that is both respectful and firm. I am concerned about the tone of my response and I would like to make sure that it is appropriate and in line with the law.
Merry K.
It is always an excellent idea to (1) Use a polite and professional tone, along the lines of how you would write if your letter could end up in front of a judge some day; (2) Have a friend or family member review your letter with you before you send it; and (3) include all your pertinent contact information. However, I do want to mention that when you write back, if you don't know what the debt is for, you are within your rights to request written verification of what the debt is for - I mention this because there is a popular scam of sending fake debt collection letters to people and causing them all kinds of stress and distress.

Citing laws in a demand letter?
I recently sent a demand letter to a person who I believe owes me money. I am trying to collect the payment they owe me, but they are refusing to pay. I included a few laws in the demand letter that I believe are relevant to my situation, but I am not sure if I have included all of the necessary laws. I would like to make sure I am citing all of the applicable laws in my demand letter so that I can ensure the payment is collected.
Merry K.
Unfortunately, often, one can cite all the laws one wants, but the person who owes the debt may simply be unwilling or unable to pay. If the debt is for less than $10,000, consider filing in Small Claims Court in your county. Here is the statewide information: https://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/resources/?altMenu=smal&fa=newsinfo_jury.scc In addition, many counties, such as King, have their own websites and lots of information. When you file in Small Claims Court, be sure to include copies of all relevent paperwork, including any letters you sent to the defendent. And request reimbursement for the debt, interest, the cost of filing the Small Claims case, and any related costs/expenses. Even if you win, however, you may not get paid - but if you win, you will have some other ways to collect, such as garnishing wages or a bank account. I'd be happy to help coach you through the Small Claims process if you'd like to request my help through ContractsCounsel.com

Settlement Agreement
Washington
I was injured when a Chinese safety product and won my argument.
I bought a safety sling off Amazon (I am Paraplegic) and the first time I used the lifting harness it failed and I fell hitting my foot on the floor and injuring it. After a lengthy investigation I was awarded an $18,000 Settlement Agreement and McLarens did all negotiations for the Chinese Supplier (Vendor of Amazons) and the Wire Transfer was set up for payment. It has been over 100 days since the agreement was made and we still have not been paid. The agent of McLarens on behalf of the Chinese Company (NEFFT) is my only contact and negotiated this settlement with will not return my Email and 5 times she has emailed she says she will contact her Client but I do not hear back from her and have to ask all over again. She has stalled for over 100 days now. What is the time limit for non payment and if so can they be Sued for Breach and bad faith practices and would that qualify for 3 times the amount of Settlement for Breach? Also my injured Foot is getting worse on top of it! Please help if possible?
Merry K.
I'm so sorry to hear about this. However, you posted on ContractsCounsel in the "question and answer" part of ContractsCounsel - I think you should obtain legal help, and for this, you need to post your request in the "project" area and expect to pay an attorney for help and advice. I'm sorry, I'm unable to answer all your questions - I just dropped in to provide these comments to you. (Also, please do not ask for me for a project, and I am not available for this type of work right now).

Lien
California
My brother paid off the mortgage loan of my parent's home in California in Jan 2021. In return the ownership was transferred to his name. However, in mid 2023 a lien was put on the property for $80K. We had no idea who filed, after talking with my father he told us that could be a judgement for him to pay back for the "zeek reward" scheme that he joined from more than 10 years ago. Is that legal for the lien to be on the property now that my father is not the owner?
The house is an investment property with renters, my father lives in one room and we do have a rental agreement with him. He manages the property since my brother and sister who are the owners of the property are living in different states.
Joseph M.
If the judgment was against your father and not you then you should be able to fight the lien.

Can a debt settlement agreement be transferred?
I recently received an offer from a creditor to settle a debt I owe. However, due to my current financial situation, I am unable to make the payments they are asking for. I am wondering if I can transfer the debt settlement agreement to another party, who would be able to pay the debt in full.
Diane D.
Probably not. You wil need to talk to the creditor.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
