Aloha from paradise! I opened a small business in 2008, taking out a home equity loan plus small business loan. With the economy tanking our business went down big time with decreased travelersleaving island. Ended up taking out more loans just to make ends meet. Also tried to negotiate with our landlords to no avail: stalling tactics, delays, reviews so finally stopped paying rent until we could get resolved. Now we have had the summons, hired an attorney, next is trial date this week. We are now talking to another attorney for bankrupcy as we can't afford these payments.
