I, and a friend, were harassed and discriminated against by two employees for not wearing a mask while shopping at a local grocery store. I can't afford to hire an attorney, so I'll have to go pro per. Are there any cases for a similar lawsuit? Thanks.

For cash purchase, I've found several dealers say I MUST purchase car with $1999-$3000 extra option. Is this legal?
I resell bikes and I happened to buy a stolen bike and tried to sell it. This is my second time of trying to sell a stolen bike. The first time I sold the bike to someone but they traced the bike back to me. The second time the bike was taken from me and I was wondering if I can get my money back.... View More

The police obviously have a record O stolen bikes. Before purchasing you should check with the police to see if the bike is stolen?
Make sure to get the contact information from the seller with the driver's license. Then in trace the stolen bike...

IF whoever you pay rent to is a "credit reporter" then yes.
IF you end up getting evicted in a court of law, then yes.
IF you can work it out with your LL, then no.
Good luck with it.

I recently purchased a vehicle from a Chevrolet dealership in San Diego, CA. I had horrible credit at the time and was only able to be approved with a large down-payment, which I was able to make happen. The amount on the paperwork does not even closely reflect the $12,000 I put down. What can be... View More

If you can prove that you put down $12,000.00 just let them know and seek an adjustment to the documents. If they refuse to adjust, that's a problem for them. Good luck with it!

I'm sorry for your issues. You do NOT want to normally be part of a class action as the remedies offered are rarely as good as the remedies you can get on your own. Your more important question since you are automatically part of the class if you fit the class description, is "How do I... View More

Sorry for your issues. No way to KNOW what all of your rights are without reading the document you speak of. Lawyers typically get $250.00 an hour and up so hiring one makes little sense here. IF it is true that there is no provision for the $400 you speak of, I guess they can sue you and you can... View More

If they have used your image without your consent they may have done this to others as well. If it was me and I was unhappy about it, I'd do both, ask for them to take it down and seek monetary compensation.

That is a breach of warranty and typically quite actionable.

Hard to say here? Sorry for your issues. IF they did not allow you to pick it up that is one thing. If you chose not to do so, that's another. Some folks keep these dresses for a lifetime, others sell them as used once or in your case, if you went that route, as 'never' used.... View More

Sorry for your issues. Assuming all facts you state to be correct, you can go with an Auto Fraud claim (attorney) or you can go with an Unfair Debt Collection claim (Attorney) or someone who handles both. Anyone who practices consumer law should be able to handle OR refer to the proper firm.
I buy windows and doors from the manufacturers and sell to contractors.

The only way to know about whether a warranty covers is to READ the warranty! IF it's say, 10 years and you are only in year three, you're good to go assuming it IS a warranty issue? The thing to do is to make sure you KNOW it is a warranty issue AND to make sure you KNOW what the... View More

Seller has committed (LIKELY) a crime, as rolling back an odometer is a federal crime.
If for instance, the prior repair order is in seller's name, you have proof he KNEW of the rollback.
You cannot THREATEN to report the seller, you can only report him/her or not report.... View More
I have service records indicating that the mileage on the car is more than what is listed on the odometer from 3 years ago. It was listed at 161,422 from a Jiffy Lube on 7/20/17. Upon purchase, the mileage is at 125,644.
answered on Jun 6, 2020
To commit odometer fraud is a CRIMINAL offense, a Federal Crime. IF it's done by an individual AND you can prove intent, ie, they knew it, that person can be charged criminally. It would be HARD to get law enforcement generally to take it seriously though. Maybe DMV would take it seriously?... View More

Sorry for your issues. Start by opening up a "DMV Investigations" inquiry into what happened. They will put pressure on the selling dealer to get to the bottom of this.

So, for me, IF I were thinking about this I'd do two things:
