Did countless hours of research and I'm still lost!
I have deleted this post basicly, I am getting tired of comming here ( three times tonight) to edit posts. One more time and I will merley close this thread.
caught me in a rather bad day mood. I had to come to this thread over 4 times and do mod just tonight. Sorry
Jeremy is new and didn't understand all the rules. I want him to stay, so thanks, FrChuck, for helping clean up this thread. I'm sorry it's been a bad day and hope tomorrow will be better. We all still love you.
Thanks, I am living the child custody issues we talk about.
Actually getting it all filed for modifications but had to work out every detail for the next 8 years that we could possibly think of. what age to allow them to stay alone, and so on and so on
I do not know where you get your "legal" information but it is NOT correct in my State - NY.
I do not live in NY. There are 49 other states. What is with your ethnocentricity? As I said in my info, this varies from state to state. This is what happened to me and with the exact details I described as it happened. My intent is to share info that I have learned thru this process that may help someone not to go thru what i have. YES, my information is correct in my state.
For starters, the Court has no knowledge of the Summons until the case is filed with the Court. The summons clearly states--In the superior court of...state of...summons..
The Sheriff does not serve the papers. Yes, it was served by the sheriff to my home.
Wages cannot be garnished in every State.
yes, my wages have been garnished for 5 month for money that I do not owe while I am awaiting a hearing date in superior court. yes, not all states can have wages garnished, but one should certainly find that out and be prepared that could be a consequence if ignoring a summons. fair-debt-collection.com list each state that allows garnishment, how much, etc. Simply googling "what states allow wage garnishment" can answer that quickly.
Because of your intent to tell me what I said is not true, I request that you not comment on any further questions or comments that I may have. I do not intend to argue with you about what goes on in your state of NY again.

Try reading the rules of the site - you may find them informative, particularly directing how posts are answered.
Your post had several errors in it - please cover ALL the bases if you do not know where OP lives instead of making blanket statements.

I've seen this posted a time or 2 before and after looking through the rules, I cannot find where it says that one cannot make a polite request to another member to cease. Yes, there is the ignore feature, but that's not always a good option. There's a few posters whose information is valuable, but sometimes they can be harassing, insulting or not helpful in one small respect yet still have good information, so to ignore, one would miss out on everything that poster had to offer......
I don't see why some people get so upset and vindictive when politely asked to stop. Most of us are adults here, be mature about it. If it appears that someone doesn't like your approach or feels harassed by you and they politely ask you to cease, simply move on. No need to take out your wrath on the other person. Frankly, I am shocked by the immaturity I see here by some senior members from time to time.
Is the only recourse to ignore, then? That's pretty extreme.
I did ask ScottGem if he could remove the attorney's names and obviously he was just too busy.
No I was not too busy, I declined to do so, because what I saw was reference to Case Law, which is public record. In that case, this was not personal but public information and no need to have it removed. If I mistook what you posted and it was not Case Law, I apologize.
As for not getting certain priveleges right away. Since there is no full check when someone creates an account we do have people who will create another account to attack other people. If we let new accounts have certain priveleges that would trash the boards. So there is good reason why you have to wait.
As for keeping info private, there is a warning about choosing a screen name that can't be traced back to you because our posts often come to the top in Google searches. That's why we try to remove real personal info.

I'm going to answer this here, but if you want to discuss this further then start a thread in the Feedback forum. I do not want the OP's thread hijacked, which is why I removed most of the posts on this issue.
I have been contributing to bulletin boards like this for over 20 years. During that time, certain conventions of behavior have typified such sites. Two of them have been mentioned here. The first is keeping things public. As Wondergirl pointed out, this thread has over 400 views yet only 46 responses. That means a large number of people have looked in here and may have learned from the discussion. So we prefer that threads be kept public so others can benefit. Another reason is peer review. if you ask a question privately, you may get a mistaken or wrong answer that would not be corrected.
The other issue is the one passmeby asks about. I believe I am the one who has been in the lead on this issue. While we do have rules here, not all of them are written. Some are just by custom. Within the rules of this site we do not want to stifle any contributions to a thread. EVERYONE is free to post their contributions as long as they do not violate the rules. Often the correct or best answer to a question is not something the poster wants to hear. They may not like the answer, no matter how good or correct. Under that doctrine. it is rude to presume to even suggest to a person, no matter how politely, that they don't want any individual to post to their threads or respond to their posts. That is dictating to someone how they can use this site. In the specific case in this thread, the poster posted inaccurate information and that was pointed out. If you don't like being corrected then be more careful what you post! As long as I am a moderator on this site, this will NOT be condoned or sanctioned. Anytime anyone presumes to dictate who can or can't respond, they will be warned that that is not allowed.
I hope this answers your question. If you or anyone want to discuss this further the Feedback forum is the appropriate place, not here.
Oops got cut off! Anyway, the 4th weekend was extremely busy for me. So here's the deal, I settled over the phone with the law firm handling the case. They said they would need a little under 1300. With the sherriff's drop off of the summons they said I owed close to $2400. I probably could have gotten it lower but this will do I suppose. I just got the letter in the mail from the firm at it states: "re: worldwide asset purchasing II LLC,
xxx,xxx,xxx, and xxx are debt collectors for the captioned creditor. Pursuant to our recent communication, this letter will confirm that we have authority to accept as settlement for the captioned matter the sum of $1300 to be delivered to this office at the following address on or before 7/24/09."
Does this seem legit to you guys? By the way, thanks for all of your assistance in helping me resolve this burden(I know it's my own fault!!!)
