Re: Examination of Debtor Finance

You might contact Legal Aid. Just because they're taking a debtor's exam doesn't mean they'll collect the money. They would want to know where all of your assets are, and what they are. Do you own a car, is it financed, do you own a home, how much money is in the bank, how much money is in your pockets?

I'm sure you can Google "debtor's exam" online and find helpful information. Good luck!
