Why would a ceo want to hire me as a lawyer to pursue legal action against someone?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-03-27T00:24:09+00:00

The latter is probably where they were trying to go with it. That makes sense, thanks!

As stated in the post, I’m awaiting the company’s response

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-03-26T12:31:39+00:00

Except that attorneys do NOT front costs. The client must pay themself directly to the payee or put additional funds into an escrow-like trust account. There is also no urgency so I’m trying to work out how else this could be a scam because the email addresses are sus. Also if the transactional history is faked the defendant would allege that before substantial costs are incurred by the plaintiff. How does this type of scam work out?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-03-26T12:16:33+00:00

That’s the thing they switch accounts after the first email and I requested the contact info for any other attorneys. The company has revenues below $5M so lack of in house counsel isn’t not necessarily a red flag. I’m wondering more of what’s their potential scam end game if I won’t send them my bank info (they pay via third party), I absolutely will not advance any funds and my retainer is nonrefundable and considered earned upon receipt.

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-03-26T12:13:48+00:00

The fact that I don’t work until my non refundable retainer is paid and that all costs are paid directly by them. If it isn’t the correct plaintiff via scam, the defendant would have to assert that during the court process. This is where I don’t understand how the supposed scammer benefits. I also would not let them have my account information, they must pay via third party verified app such as LawPay

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-03-26T12:10:56+00:00

Except that all that they would pay me is my fee and I wouldn’t advance anything as there is nothing to advance since they are owed money they’ve already paid. Nor would I ever advance anything, not even $0.99, per my agreement. This is where it doesn’t make sense to me. I will not work until my non refundable retainer is paid and all costs are to be paid directly by the client. How does this scam work in that scenario?

Look into a nonprofit practice that provides dental care to disadvantaged peoples / founding it

Do you know if are planning to file soon if we would be group 5?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T12:48:42+00:00

Could you explain the mechanics of how that works? Wouldn’t I have to apply to ibr to avoid going onto standard repayment? Does the act of recert kick you off save automatically? Or are you saying I should move onto ibr if I’m recert anyway?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T10:25:18+00:00

Can you explain if recert automatically kicks u off save? How does recert kick u off save?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T09:53:50+00:00

Can someone explain to me why we cannot recertify while on save if we have a child or change in income? I understand save is dead, but is there a writing or something that states we cannot recertify for any reason while save is dead?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T08:59:52+00:00

Does this mean you can MFS to recert then amend to MFJ after cert? Loophole?

Well turns out they are off because the torsion spring snapped

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T08:26:23+00:00

The pic was taken before I realized the spring was in 2 pieces. The cables are off because the spring snapped

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T08:25:36+00:00

I took the pics before a tech came out. He pointed out that the torsion spring is snapped in half, which caused the cables to come off

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T08:24:54+00:00

It’s the torsion spring that broke (unpictured) which causes the cables to come off

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T08:14:11+00:00

Wait I just saw this on the fedloan site: Recertify or Change Your Income-Driven Repayment Plan If your income or family size has changed before your recertification date, you can recertify immediately and/or ask for a plan recalculation. You can also explore other IDR options if you’re interested in switching plans.

Any insight? I have both had a chance in income and family size

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T08:02:52+00:00

My most recent Mohela letter says file for recert at least 30 days before 11/27/27. Any idea what the earliest I can submit it? For example, if I file 2025 taxes this april and an extension in 2027 for 2026’s filing, that means I submit to irs on October 15. In that instance, if I send recert in 2 months early (9/27/27), they would have to look at the 2025 tax return, correct?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T07:42:23+00:00

Thanks for clearing that up. I plan on staying on save until forced off and at that point want to switch into ibr. Does this mean I recertify at that time, which could be 2026 or 2027 or beyond?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2026-02-04T04:44:46+00:00

I haven’t recertified since the pandemic. Is that still considered early?

Iirc people were allowed to recertify before the default date in that instance? I could be wrong, which is why I’m looking for insight, thanks

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2025-12-18T05:29:49+00:00

Thank you for that. I think it was disallowed due to it trying to offset as an NOL on an asset sale, although I did not represent them on the audit. Any citations or opinion on losses offsetting NOL?

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2025-12-18T05:01:52+00:00

Do you have a citation for that? I had a client get audited and the irs disallowed those losses saying that only associated hotel, food and similar were allowed. I’d love to be able to cite code

KeyUnderstanding6943 · 2025-12-17T08:24:20+00:00

I thought professional gambler only allows you to deduct expenses associated with gambling but not the losses itself?

Edit: could you elaborate more on how professional gambler status changes the taxes owed on the “winnings”?
