It will depend on the contract on the legal side, and where the company is located on the practical side. Without reviewing those pieces of information, your most likely remedy is a lawsuit.
My Ford escape with EcoBoost engine blew up. This is a common problem there are class action lawsuits. Can I sue Ford in small claims court and would it be worth it.
answered on Jul 26, 2022
Can you? Yes. Should you? No. You need to understand that major corporations like Ford have entire departments full of attorneys working for them, any of whom would have a field day with a pro se litigant. The first thing they will do is remove the case to the general civil docket because 1)... View More
Was sick several months then father passed.... fell behind several months.... was backed into corner, had to have car, they knew it.... options?
answered on Jul 26, 2022
You may have some cause regarding added fees, depending on what they are for. But the remedy for that is to adjust the contract amount. It won't save your car if that is the concern. The reason behind executing a contract is generally not a defense or reason to get out of it; in short, it... View More
The thieves broke off both my locks and put their own locks on so I couldn't get into my storage. The storage company siding with the insurance company which I pay insurance on my storage monthly. My claim was denied.

What exactly is your question?
I can’t imagine a storage company ‘siding with’ anyone. Had you paid your storage bill? The scenario is unclear.

Probably not. Look, insurance is a business. It is probably not worth their while to fully investigate what might have happened, especially when clearly, the insurance company is paying a claim anyway, just to save a few bucks.
It is pre-arranged; insurance companies are most collision... View More

I think you're right that you can sue them. I would try consulting a consumer rights attorney before trying it on my own. And I would plan to go ahead and sue in the general civil division (district court), not small claims. In small claims, neither party can have an attorney, and a business... View More
We live out of state and spend summer in Michigan. Called lawn service to cut grass in Mich. Agreed on price . No written contract. Find that they cut grass high so it needs it every week. Only able to afford service every other week. They disagree.
answered on Jun 22, 2022
Regardless of the type of agreement you have, the most important information you could have is... you probably have a contract, and binding. But, what the terms of the agreement are, you'll probably need to hire an attorney and litigate it to ever know for certain.
A recall (ECU software update) that came with an emissions warranty came out in 2019. I tried to have the recall done in 2019, dealership said they couldn't do it due to modifications made to the vehicle. In 2021 I went back to have the recall completed with same "modifications"... View More

I suggest you hire a lawyer to address this matter. At the very least you should have an attorney send a demand letter to both the manufacturer and dealer.
It turns out her ex’s power bill is still in her name (they used to live together), and his late payments have been affecting her credit score. He lives in Indiana, while she is in Michigan. Today she called the company to get her name off of the bill, but now they’re demanding she pay for the... View More
answered on May 2, 2022
Yes, it's legal for them to demand payment from her. Her name is on the bill, so it's her they will look to for payment; doesn't matter who actually lives there.
Your only possible recourse would be against the ex; but I assume there was a reason why the bill wasn't in... View More
I was served in regards to an old debt. The debt is mine, but I'm unsure if the amount is correct as I paid part of it in the past. Most of what I've read says to deny the complaints just to make them prove its actually mine and that the amount is correct. Is this a good idea? Solosuit... View More

You just posted on line that "the debt is mine". Be careful now denying to the court that the debt is yours.
Depending on the amount of money the debt collector is suing you for, you should consider hiring a lawyer.
There are legal defenses available to you that you may... View More
She has scammed others and I have the proof online from reviews. I just want my money back and she’s refusing to give it to me like she promised. She asked me to stop emailing her and got mad when I said I’d have to involve the authorities.

Save all communications or documentation, especially where she said she would provide a refund. Also, save all receipts, contracts, and terms & conditions. If this is on her website, try saving the site as a .pdf with the URL and timestamp in the header or footer. Then, if you paid with a... View More

First, you should consult a lawyer to ascertain what rights exactly you have now. Adverse possession is complex. But otherwise, if there is a mortgage, that's a lien on the property regardless of who is the rightful owner. If you are the now rightful owner, you just bought yourself a debt you... View More

Off hand, I believe it's 6 years from the date of last payment or activity. That is not to be confused for when a default judgment has been obtained, which would be good for 10 years and subject to renewal.

First of all, do not default. Whether you hire a lawyer or not, file something with the court within the 20 days.

There is a form that allows you to object to garnishments. Just Google "objection to garnishment Michigan". However there are only 5 permitted objections and one "catch all" objection.

If the president of the Confederate Treasure left the gold intentionally would that not legally invoke the finders keepers laws? Who initially owned the confederate gold?
answered on Feb 11, 2022
The federal Confiscation Act of 1862 would apply to gold owned by the Confederate States of America (which the Act did not recognize as an entity), with the result that the United States would own the gold. This is a hypothetical question because the CSA government probably held no gold at the... View More

Repair service came out and agreed there was a problem. Supposedly they order a part. Nothing has been done as of January 17, 2022. Can we demand a refund?

Likely depends on the purchase agreement, company policy, as well as the status of the part that was ordered. Demanding a refund and getting a refund are two different things, and being custom furniture, your question requires a much deeper than typical contract analysis to get a closer answer.... View More
