I have a situation,When I was divorced the truck we owned was awared to my now ex-wife.Since than she’s had the vechile repossed and since she lives in a different state now the creditors will not go after her.They are now coming after me,but because of my job title ,I fall under the Jones Act ,Is this a fair statement to say that my wages cannot be garnished because I fall under the Jones Act.

Hi, here’s my case…I owe close to 18 grand in credit card debt…I have no job or career skills and have currently been unemployed for about 6 months…besides that, I have nothing on the horizon, have applied for various jobs and have undergone various interviews without any success whatsoever…since the first bill I have been giving the minimum payments towards all my creditcards every month without delay for several years…however, over that period of time the initial interest rate has been jacked up to nearly twice the amount…nevertheless, I have continued to use the credit cards one at a time to make daily purchases such as gasoline for my car and meals and ocassionally clothing or home appliances while I continue to give the monthly minimum payments in hopes of soon finding a job and try to stabilize my financial situation…unfortunately, my bank account is almost empty and I have not been able to find a job to replenish it, nore does it seem that I will find one soon from the looks of it…I am currently assisted with shelter and partial nourishment by my mother who is also struggling to make ends meet while I attempt to find a job…I only have 2 assets at the moment which I’d like to know if they could be confiscated if I were to file for bancruptcy…I own a car worth under 2 grand which I bought and registered in another state and which is my only means of transportation…I am also the partial owner of my mother’s house which is under mine and 3 other siblings’ names…is there a posibility that the collections agencies or the sheriff can can pursue these assets if I can’t continue paying due to the innability to find work?
