Experience FREE BANKRUPTCY HELP. If you are being sued, if your home is being foreclosed, or if you are being harassed by bill collectors, filing for bankruptcy may be a quick and inexpensive solution.. The mere filing of a bankruptcy will operate as a federal court order (it is called an automatic stay) to stop all bill collection efforts, including lawsuits that are pending or ongoing. Bankruptcy is a legitimate way to meet your problems with debt head-on. The bankruptcy law is designed to give you a second chance to make a new start without the psychological and financial burden of pressing debts that you are unable to pay. Depending on what state you live in and what your assets are, it is very unlikely that you are going to have to lose anything if you file for bankruptcy, and this is something that you can do immediately without having to pay the $500 to $1,500 attorney fees that most attorneys charge. Also, you might be surprised that you can file for bankruptcy and that it will not have the devastating effect on your credit that most bill collectors describe. Life is too short to have all this anxiety over losing your car through repossession, getting evicted from your home, or losing your home through foreclosure. Bankruptcy law was designed to give you a second chance. I will not charge you just to talk on the phone.

About five (5) years ago, a close friend, borrowed $5,000 from me. He has only paid me about $500 during that time. I'd like to get a judgement on that loan, but I don't know what interest rate I should charge.
Should I charge him 10% per year; or 10% per month?
Sincerely,
Angel
Answer If you sue him to get a judgment, just ask for prejudgment and post judgment interest. Your state will have set a standard rate and it will be included in the judgment when you win the suit - but be sure to ask for "prejudgment and postjudgment interest". (hehe you are not going to get 10 percent a month, that would be way over the line) you will get costs of the suit added on though - filing fee and fee to have the defendant served.
