Claims to Funds. Paul had a great job as a bank executive. Unfortunately, his bank came under scrutiny by federal regulators, and although Paul had done nothing illegal, he ended up being fired. Unfortunately for Paul, he had a number of debts. Among his assets were a house worth $250,000 on which he owed $150,000 to a bank that held a security interest; three vehicles; an expensive watch worth $5,000; and $120,000 in an Individual Retirement Account "IRA". He owed $900 per month in child support to his ex-wife Suzy and was behind on payments in the amount of $1,800. He also owed $2,000 in wages consisting of four months of back pay to Bob who took care of Paul's landscaping needs and swimming pool care.
