You have the couch and the store has not collected much money. Hard to believe they would deliver it without getting paid in full. But, the store had the couch made as per the measurements on the receipt. In my opinion, a court will not blame them.

So, you too have problems. The receipt is... View More

To buy the car, just call the leasing company that you make the payments to. The dealer does not own the car and has no say in this process.

I hope you did not pay the dealer for 'certification.' That is just scam BS. You might report the dealer to the DMV, it sounds to me like a... View More

I think you are entitled to sue the dealer, and file a complaint against the dealer with the DMV.

I believe that what you signed is not allowed to override California Code, Vehicle Code - VEH § 11736.

Small claims court is where you take this to sue.

"Undisclosed" and "overlooked" do not have the same meanings.

Financing terms must be set out nicely and boldly. You can retain a lawyer to review your contract and advise you on whether your contract complies with the law. But if you did business with a new car dealer,... View More

The Chase garnishment will last for only 90 days, but it can be renewed. You should file yours now anyway, so that you will be the next in line when Chase's ends. Otherwise, Chase stays ahead of you if you never get to the front of the line.

An anti-theft device does not guarantee that a car can't be stolen. If you buy a can of pepper spray does that guarantee that someone can't mug you?

If you sue, you have the burden of proving your case. That can be quite a hurdle. Here's why:

Issues you must prove... View More

You can expect to pay lawyer fees in the $3000 range for this work. Motions to reopen and to avoid a lien are routinely granted, provided you have sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the lien would have been avoidable during the original case.

Your friend has nothing much to worry about. The legal interest rate limit for an ordinary person loaning money in California is 10% APR. If your friend charges more than that, he can still sue the person who won't pay and ruin that person's credit, but the court probably won't let... View More

This is a very strange tale. I would not fault the bank for putting a hold on a deposit that they just received. But that's not what they did, because they gave you the cash! But I see no legal rights that the bank violated. You can call the bank branch manager to complain about the teller..... View More

I suspect that your $400 deposit was used up and your account became overdrawn by the $315 amount. That should be visible on your monthly statements sent to you before and after that particular time. But that's just a guess, and it would be wrongful of Citibank to fail to provide you with a... View More

You can sue the dealer for up to $10,000 in small claims court, if you feel that you have a case. You should read the "certification" contract carefully. It sounds like the salesperson verbally summarized to you what was on the report. You should have read it for yourself before signing a... View More

It sounds to me like you leased something that is meant solely for offroad use and is not street legal nor capable of being street legal in California. It is my understanding that atv's are not street legal. In fact I have never seen one being driven on a street or highway. I'm sure you... View More

You never know what is going to happen in small claims court. That court does not always follow established rules and stretches the law to be "fair." And the judge may spot something else in your business practices or products that the judge thinks is deceptive or unfair, even if it was... View More

You have an insurance policy. Does it cover losses from theft? If so, it's time for you to visit one or more lawyers who deal with insurance law, and find one who will sue the insurance carrier. When an insurance carrier fails to deal with you in good faith, you may be able to collect not only... View More

It is not very common, but it does happen. Obviously, a repeat filing will be a harder row for them to hoe than the first case.

I suggest you get legal representation now, before they pull the trigger. With good representation maybe you can get them to provide you with concessions to make... View More

It applies only to property occupied by you, or your spouse, or a very close family member. See the actual statute, below, for the definitions,... View More

Yes, and no. Assuming your lien is validly perfected, you can advance money to the senior lien(s) to reinstate it, which will stop them from foreclosing this time around, and then initiate your own foreclosure process. There is so much to consider before you do anything like that, without much time... View More

I'm sorry this has happened to you. Debts get bought and sold all the time, so the original creditor's name might not be on the ewo. You can get a copy of the relevant legal documents from the court, particularly the proof of service and the complaint. The complaint will tell you who the... View More

This sounds like a small claims court case. I doubt it is going to be worth hiring a lawyer, as animation cells are usually pretty cheap. However, if you sue in small claims court you will incur the costs of personally traveling to court and the unlikelihood of ever collecting. In court you will... View More

If the plaintiff claims that you were served, you would have to file a motion to quash service by proving that you don't live there. Keep in mind that the goal of the law is to give a person notice. And you obviously know about the lawsuit. A successful motion to quash does not eliminate the... View More
