After seeing and agreeing to put a deposit on a product at a store in Maui, I was asked to sign a shipping & purchase document, as they were just the licenced distributer of the product and the manufacturer would be shipping my product upon full payment. I remember reading I would have 14 days... View More

I asked where my payments went, if you are claiming I have not paid. No answer. SPS had blocked me from making my December, January and February payments because I was told I am in legal process of foreclosure. I asked why as I have been making payments. I was told I had not made any payments... View More

The loan has defaulted for a year now and my car still hasn’t been repossessed. What are my legal options? Should I do a voluntary repo?
answered on May 4, 2023
Your legal options are: 1) bankruptcy; 2) borrow money and pay off the note; 3) sell the car and pay off the note; 4) don’t voluntarily repo bc it won’t reduce the debt by much. Even if repoed, you will still owe nearly the same amount.
I purchased a device that claimed FDA approval and it is not. I based the purchase on being told it was FDA approved.

A Hawaii attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. Hawaii consumer laws aside, which only a local attorney could advise about, the most practical approach could be to request refund through the company's customer service department. If there's more to the... View More

Aloha, blunt force trauma is exactly that - an injury caused by blunt force, whether applied intentionally by another person, or due to accidental circumstances. It is more a medical term than a legal term. It just describes the type of causation, not the state of mind of the individual... View More

A Hawaii attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks.

If you really found four different states that filed class actions against a dealership, three of which sound like they are after the same relief you are you may have more (and cheaper) options than trying to sue them yourself. Try calling one of the law firms involved in the three similar cases.

I would not try to do that unless you are a lawyer or otherwise have financial services credentials or debt collection credentials issued by Hawaii.
I was tricked into wiring money from my bank in Hawaii to a bank in New York. The FBI says I will not get my money back; the account at the bank in New York has been closed. I have other agencies working on recovering it but I don't have much hope. At this point, I am interested in paying... View More

I've notified all appropriate government agencies about the "theft." Research tells me Regulation E may cover me under these circumstances but I need an attorney's advice. Is there an attorney on the Big Island that I can consult about consumer bank law?

You should use the Find a Lawyer tab located at the top of every page here on Justia.
And, if you can give me the law, how can I get access to read it?

This right is typically granted by the resort's bylaws and not through legislation. If a room is not being used, they will allow others to use it in an effort to avoid waste. Does that answer your question?

This is a very general question. Too general to answer in the abstract. A local lawyer can advise based on your specific concerns.
