grab law

Read a random definition: donative advowson

A quick definition of grab law:

Grab law refers to ways of collecting money owed that are not part of the federal bankruptcy law. This can include things like taking someone's property or money directly from their paycheck. It is a very forceful way of collecting debts.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Grab law refers to the different methods used to collect debts that are not covered by federal bankruptcy law. These methods include attachment and garnishment, as well as aggressive collection practices.

Examples:

  • Attachment: This is when a creditor obtains a court order to seize a debtor's property, such as a car or a house, to satisfy a debt.
  • Garnishment: This is when a creditor obtains a court order to take a portion of a debtor's wages or bank account to satisfy a debt.
  • Aggressive collection practices: This can include constant phone calls, threatening letters, and even harassment by debt collectors.

These examples illustrate how grab law can be used to collect debts in ways that may be seen as unfair or overly aggressive. While creditors have the right to collect debts owed to them, they must do so within the bounds of the law and without resorting to harassment or intimidation.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
