I wrote up a contract stating terms and conditions payment date and total amount owed we both signed but had no witness or notary is this contract legal and how can I get my fourwheeler back since we are no longer friends and I have someone willing to get it out of my name and in theirs.
answered on May 29, 2019
It appears the contract is legal which means you can enforce it in an Alabama court.
Water damage, stained ceiling, mold, dirty air vents, exposed wires, broken tiles, torn wall paper, chipped tile, missing cover plates, an unsecured door lock. reeks of smoke/weed, no shower head, dirty kitchen cabinets...

Go back to the landlord and tell him that you will not move in until the defects are fixed. You might need to hire an attorney in the county where the apartment is located.
Purchased a sampler 3 days ago and on contract it does say no right to rescind, however this morning as I was looking through the offering in detail we realized that we would only be given access to a few properties in a few locations, not access to the vast inventory as we were told in...

My recollection is that sample packages do not have the typical recession rights as a true timeshare purchase. That being said, you may still have some options if you'd like to get an attorney involved and depending on how the purchase was structured.
My 65 yo Father in Law has recently moved here with us from out of state. He was less than honest about his financial and income situation. His only income is his SS check which is around 1500.00/mo and he drew SS disability prior to turning 65. He accrued a large credit card debt and leased a... View More
Brother used my name on his bill then skipped out of town. They are threatening to shut off my service now if I don't pay that debt by the end of the month

If I were you I would contact the Alabama Public Services Commission and file a complaint.
There does not seem to be any listing on city website or any transparency at all. Is it even required for a city to publicly publish city code and law and is it not against some sort of checks and balances for the city hall to charge 25 cents a sheet for any physical copy of information on such...

I recently received notice from a local bank that they have an old judgement against me and my late husband but I do not believe that I owe it and do not recall signing the papers. I have repeatedly requested all documentation supporting the balance and judgement. But they simply ignore me and... View More

I would go by the county courthouse in the county that you live or in the county where that bank is located (where you signed the loan/contract) and they can look up the case and whether or not there is a judgment on the case.
The divorce decree 20 yrs. ago, said He was awarded the home,and that I was released from all and any indebtedness due on the home. Now it has ruined my current credit, showing on my credit a 4 month late on mortgage, that I do not have. I did not know about the filing of bankruptcy that he... View More

The question is a little confusing. Did your husband file for bankruptcy and discharge the home? If he didn't then the bankruptcy by itself is not hurting your credit rather his late/no payments is! Is he in a chapter 13 or chapter 7 bankruptcy? Regardless, this is a common problem with... View More

No it is not free from garnishment. If a creditor get a judgment against you, they can levy it from a bank account.
We received the release letter from the court that indicated the balance on the car account was $0. Why would a well-established major car credit company mail a clear title to a buyer if there was still a balance?
answered on Mar 2, 2018
I would assume that your wife filed the bankruptcy and you did not? If that is not the case, then you are not protected from this creditor when your wife received her discharge order. I believe that they are attempting to come after you for interest not paid on the account during the 5 year... View More
A lawsuit by a creditor is being filed against me for nonpayment. I leased equipment and it was tore up when I received it. The creditor didn’t want the equipment back and insisted I pay.

answered on Mar 2, 2018
Unfortunately, once a lawsuit is filed, your options are limited. You can settle the debt by making an offer to pay for less than the amount owed and dismissing the case. You can offer to make monthly payments on the debt. Once this lawsuit goes to judgment, then you will be at the mercy of the... View More
Lets start from the beginning. My best friend was driving a motorcycle that was in my name. A guy ran a red light while he was turning and the bike was totaled. Now the towing company that fetched the wrecked bike is now informing me that they will charge me roughly 1000 dollars in cash in order to... View More

Towing is a racket. Find out what they are charging you for. See if your motorcycle insurance will pay it. Send the bill to the guy who ran the red's insurance. They don't pay, contact a member of the Ala Assn for Justice--they give free consults. Look for one who handles "bad faith... View More
I was forced to have a DNA test done on my child after he was 4 years old and I have had sole custody of him up until this point
answered on Jan 12, 2018
Yes. It is perfectly appropriate for the Court to order a DNA test to establish the paternity of a child.

If they knew through carfax or similar, yes. Depends what the damage is and how the title is set up.

Was part of the agreement that you would pay them $5,000.00? If so, you have to live up to that part of the agreement too. If you do what you are bound to do, they have to do what they promise to do.
My son moved in with us for awhile and then started creating problems and we told him he had to move, he got an apartment but left his broken car at our house.

answered on Oct 6, 2017
you can certainly have it towed since it is currently on your property. where you have it towed is up to you. it would be wise to keep a record of you informing your son what you are doing via text, email, or recording so that if he chooses to report it stolen, there would be no potential...

Laws exist in all states prohibiting an adult buying alcohol and supplying it to the minors. The grocery chain would rather NOT have you as a customer that to late be facing a claim that their clerk sold you booze that you then gave the young people, and a DUI-related death occurred.

My mother lived in Huntsville Ala, Her common law husband passed away on may 12th she was listed as the beneficiary of his life insurance, However she passed away on the 21st before the insurance paid out. What happens to the money from life insurance now?
answered on Jun 5, 2017
The most likely result is that the insurance proceeds would be payable to her estate. It would be necessary to open an estate administration in order to file a claim. You may want to contact the insurance company and see if the particular policy has a survivorship requirement (in other words must... View More
