US Auto Sales has gone out of business, you cannot contact them any more. You need to keep making your car payment to preserve your credit. Send a letter in writing to the company who claims they took over the loan and request copies of all relevant documents as well as a copy of the loan payment... View More
Had it canceled the first year and now they want the rest of it.
answered on Jun 1, 2023
An attorney would have to actually review the contract you signed to accurately answer this question. In general, many service contracts for a number of years have conditions that say you cannot cancel early, or if you do cancel early there is a penalty of some sort. Most likely you do owe them...

Had to be torn out and replaced by another company.
First company is an LLC. No written contract. Estimate only. Checks were payable to the owner's name.
Can she sue the LLC in small claims court?
Should she sue the individual who is the LLC owner and to whom the checks were payable?

If you haven't already, you should file a claim with any and all insurance/warranty companies involved.
The shipping company will probably argue that their subcontractor is liable, instead of them. But that's not necessarily so.
The contract might say that you'd have... View More

The Federal judgment does not "supersede". You need to resond to the Notice of Right and claim your exemptions on time. The State court judgment creditor can have the Sheriff take any non exempt assets with a writ of execution. The two judgments are independent of the other. There are... View More
We bought the car on the first of the year. Financing is fine, insurance is fine. Dealership issued a 30 day tag, which expired on the 30th. We now cannot drive the car, because the dealership never sent us a permanent plate when we realized they’d registered it to me and a complete stranger, as... View More

By law am I required to still put a cash down payment?
answered on Dec 14, 2022
A car dealer can still require a cash down payment even when you trade in the car. The TILA disclosures should credit the trade in allowance and the cash down payment against the purchase price and tax, title and license.
TILA does not mean they cannot require a cash down payment. TILA... View More

This is impossible to say on an online message board, because we are not reading the terms and conditions of the sale. In general, if their policy is "no refunds on computers", and they disclosed this to you before you made the purchase, with no efforts to conceal it or promise you... View More

They told me I have to make a down payment to get a car and have car insurance beforehand. I was reading up thats possible to get your money back if you write a letter outlying the codes they violated.
answered on Nov 6, 2022
I'm not sure where you read this, but requiring a down payment on a lease and proof of full coverage insurance is not illegal. Any right of recission would exist immediately after you signed the contract, and only for a limited time. You are asking if you can sign a long term contract, pay on... View More

Unfortunately, this is too complicated to answer online. If all you have been getting is verbal reassurance from the lender, you may be in trouble and the car may already have been sold. You need to get something in writing from the lender. Contact a local attorney for assistance with the specific... View More
The main office is out of my state. The local office did the work. I found out the plumber that did the work is not personally licensed but working under the license of the company.
answered on Oct 25, 2022
If the local office is a franchise and separately incorporated, you sue them. If they are part of the main company, you sue the main company. To be cautious, you sue both. Please note that you cannot sue the out of state company in Small Claims court. You have to file in District Court if the... View More
The business agrees that I should receive the refund but it has been 10 months and I haven't. Now they are demanding that I turn over my bank records to them. I feel like I shouldn't have to turn over all my banking activity to complete strangers.
answered on Mar 8, 2024
It depends upon the nature of your dispute. More details are needed. If they want your bank records to prove that you paid for their goods or services, send the, that one month statement and redact (black out) the account number and all other transactions except for that one purchase.

This is a scam. A scammer bought your information from the dark web. The Sheriff does not call before serving a summons and complaint, and it is not called the "civil dispatch office". Call the non emergency number of your Sheriff's department tomorrow to confirm this.

A late fee can only be charged on an invoice if the payment is more than 30 days past due. However, the parties to a contract may agree to a different grace period.
answered on Sep 24, 2023
It depends upon what your rental contract says. It's not possible for any attorney to answer this question without reviewing your contract. I'm sorry to be so vague. They may be entitled to inspect it periodically and charge a fee to make sure that nothing has been tampered with.

A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It would be a landlord-tenant attorney. There is a section here for that area of practice. Although not every question here is ultimately picked up, you could repost and add L-T as a category. Good luck
Their initial civil lawsuit was submitted in 2021 but their request for default judgment against me was denied by the judge.

The filing date of the lawsuit controls the statute of limitation and it has been preserved while on appeal even though so many years has passed. Therefore, if the lawsuit was filed prior to the day the statute of limitation passed, it was filed on time, and it remains filed on time now. Good luck.
