Debt collectors should disclose their identity when contacting you, and they should not refuse to do so. If they are not willing to provide their identity, it is best to be cautious and not share any personal information until they can verify the debt and provide something in writing, if necessary.

Q: What should I do if I receive a notice of a new event from the court after filing a motion to dismiss and compel private arbitration?

A notice of a new event could indicate a hearing or some other development in your case. It is recommended to contact the court directly to clarify what the notice means and to ensure you understand the status of your case.

Q: How should I respond to a notice of summary judgment hearing from the court if I have already filed a response?

It is important to attend the hearing as instructed by the court. However, it is also advisable to file a written response to the summary judgment motion before the hearing. This will ensure that your objections and arguments are on record and can be considered by the judge.

Q: Are IRA accounts judgment-proof? How will a judgment against me affect my spouse's bank and brokerage accounts?
