I got paid yesterday....I don't expect a congratulations from this crowd...A weird day today...................................
I got a call about an hour ago from a law firm.
A lady started asking me questions and I told her I have no idea what she is referring to.
I asked her to get me up to speed as this came out of the blue...
I long ago wrote it off but I lent out a large sum of money to a family friend for 30 to 60 days max as he was selling a commercial building
and he needed to get some things in order. That was in 2009.... I never got a dime, and the borrower could care less, long story.
So, the law firm tells me that the guy took out a lien in my name but not to protect me but it was a way to stop the IRS from taking it.
I do remember it, but I was told it was just to shield the owner.
She then tells me the Judge ruled in my favor- What??????? news to me and I am the only one getting paid and the rest goes to court fees and the lawyers. The lien from 2014 stipulated I would get 5% on the interest and late penalties and fees added and when I signed off on it I would get a check on the spot... I'll believe it when I see it.... The commercial garage was sold in bankruptcy....
Weirdly they sent a paper for me to have notarized that I have accepted the cash and release the lien....
They should have done that before I cashed the check eh
