§ 25258 Discharge Application Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •If you want to stop being responsible for paying a debt, you have to fill out a form.
  • •The form must include how much money is owed and who owes it.
  • •You also need to explain why it's hard to collect the money or why it's not worth trying.
  • •You have to promise that everything you wrote on the form is true.

Example

Imagine you lent money to your friends, but they can't pay you back. You want the court to say you don't have to worry about it anymore.

You would fill out a form saying how much each friend owes you, why you can't get the money from them, and promise that everything you wrote is true. Then, the court might say you don't have to keep trying to get the money back.

§ 25258 Discharge Application Requirements

The application for a discharge from accountability under Section 25257 shall include: (a) The amount owing. (b) Except where disclosure of such information is prohibited by state or federal law, the names of the assessees or persons liable and the amounts owed by each, which may be by reference to specific documents incorporated thereby in the application. (c) The estimated cost of collection, or a statement that the likelihood of collection does not warrant the expense involved, or a specific reference to the official records establishing that the amount owed has been compromised or adjusted. If requested by the board of supervisors, the applicant shall furnish such additional information as the board deems necessary to determine that the request for discharge is justified. (d) Any other fact warranting the discharge, except where the board of supervisors determines that the circumstances do not warrant the furnishing of detailed information. (e) A verification by the applicant that the facts stated in the application are true and correct, which may be made on information and belief. (Amended by Stats. 2010, Ch. 720, Sec. 7. (SB 857) Effective October 19, 2010.)
