I have a liftetime vehicle service contract for my 2012 Chrysler 300C with 130,780 miles. My shocks are a covered component but they are refusing to cover them stating normal wear and tear on the vehicle. If the suspension is considered normal wear and tear for 130,780 miles I would believe that... View More

Sounds like a fraud to me. I'd seek out an auto fraud attorney and/or someone who handles lemon law. Good luck to you on it.
I was selected in a program that has now deferred their start date due to CoVID. They requested a sizable deposit to secure my position in the program for their initial start date. The program no longer fits my timeline and they have refused to refund the deposit. What can I do in this situation?

You have your contract and ALL writings between you evaluated by an attorney to see what, if anything, can be done. Good luck with it!
My daughter when to a car dealer to buy a new car and she gave the dealer my car that we own together as "AND" on the Title. Can the dealer legally take the car without my signature? Can I legally go to the dealer and ask for my car? I reside in California.

Legally? Probably not. But, that rarely stops a car dealer! Try the dmv investigations unit, as they police dealers...
I'm using this app called OfferUp, where people can buy and sell used items by either shipping or meeting in person.

What you have to do is the "right thing." You do not get to keep the item if you did not pay for the item. Either pay the shipper for it or work out a way to return it, that is the right thing to do.

Like most things legal the answer is "maybe."
Have your proofs reviewed by a lemon law attorney for more direction.
Most will review at no or at a low fee. Sorry for the loss of your mother.
I don't know what type of lawyer specialty deals with this, so it would be good to know so I can inquire further.

the car only has 38k miles on it and dealer says it needs a new transmission. The general warranty is over, however they enhanced the warranty on the torque converter for another 5 years and I am still within that time.

Maybe? The purpose of the warranty is to make sure they fix. If they do, the lemon may not be super helpful?
The reason they gave
* The cobuyer poses an unacceptably high credit risk

WITHOUT looking at the contract, so, this is NOT a legal opinion, NO, you do not have to give the car back.
BUT, right now, IF you get this all in writing, you drove the car for FREE for two months AND you can get a
better deal somewhere else, since rental cars are 5 bucks a day... View More

Depending on what your underlying agreement with them said and how much advantage they actually took, like staff members, mailing lists, etc., you may have some leverage to go after them. Seems like this summer that's not gonna happen anyhow, so, in a way, this break is a blessing for you in... View More

There is a law. You can also use their own cheat clause (arbitration) against them, by demanding they do it, which would cost them about $5000? Good luck with it!

Me? I'd report this to the authorities. That's what I'd do.

In addition to the fine direction given by Attorney Kontrabecki, I'd also note that it is entirely possible that your contract(s) as they relate to this mortgage, have an "attorney fee" clause in it/them. IF so, an experienced contracts attorney or more specifically, real estate... View More
Impound yard advertised a 2005 Hyundai Sonata, which I purchased. It turns out it's an 04, even thought I specifically asked the guys twice I was lied to.

If you feel like you were lied to about a significant issue, you can sue and maybe win and maybe even collect.
If the issue is the YEAR of the car, you are likely wasting your time.
I paid in full and the owner of the facility states the $ is not refundable. Contract states $ is nonrefundable if the client (me) cancels or postpones the party. I did neither.

It's a contract question, so, go to show your contract to a contract dispute attorney.
You sound like you are in the right, but, like most of us have heard since we were very

The class offered a 30 days money back guarantee. They said that it was 30 days from the first day of class.

Without a full review of all facts and documents, no one can opine definitively here, but, your point "Aftergaining access to the platform, I found the contents extremely poor and not usable." is likely the best place for you to focus your efforts when push comes to shove. Good luck with it.

The CA puppy lemon law is in place to protect consumers from unscrupulous breeders. Assuming you are not one, find it, read it, abide by it. It's pretty short and in mostly plain English. When all conditions and dates have been or have not been complied with, seek more help from counsel.

answered on Jan 31, 2020
Sorry for your issues. Whether they smogged it or did so timely is not your issue.
For instance if it under 4 years old, no smog required. The issue is, as you've noted,
no tags, no title, presumably. THAT is a problem and may or may not be related to
the no smog... View More
