You asked: How do you get a refund after the Auction you bought a car from hasn’t delivered the car after 6 weeks?
I respond, reach out to Jane Santoni in MD for direction.
She is the best of the best. Tell her I said HELLO.
Good luck with it

My insurance provider notified me that with the portion they paid to the facility, I should’ve only paid $892. I contacted the medical... View More

Phone calls are often difficult to "save" which is why I prefer writings.
Keep a detailed record of the writings and if they are not going to pay
shortly, bring your records to small claims court. It is a loosened up
place to be, see "Judge Judy" for example and no attorneys allowed.
I am planning on selling my vehicle because I cannot afford the necessary replacement of catalytic converters (which needs to happen in order to pass SMOG) and timing belt replacement. These repairs have been deemed necessary by a master mechanic and the car runs well except for these issues.... View More

It's unclear to me what you mean when you say you are an investor in a case? That's a very rare thing to be, outside of being THE attorney or THE law firm handling the case? Perhaps you meant to say one of the people who was harmed in the case, as perhaps an investor in the company? If... View More
On 12/23/23, my mother had her Social Security retirement check for $1285.00 taken out of her bank. They denied her any chance of getting it back stating it was fraud so it was denied. Her other check for roughly $146.00 was also kept even though it came in afterwards. She lives check to check and... View More

As Mr. Bayer notes, it is unclear here who even took the money, was it the bank?
IF so, THEY have a huge problem. IF not, they may STILL have a problem, maybe?

Like all things 'legal' the answer is a definite maybe. IF the seller is a state licensed dealer, they can get into serious trouble by skirting rules required to be followed in selling an automobile in CA. IF it is a private party you have other issues that may come up. Good luck with it...

You have a problem, you asked about your rights as a consumer.
Then you said the issue was with a commercial (BIZ) product.
IF you find a way to get over that hump, and they exist, then
the question becomes will a lawsuit be worth the time/expense?

The BAR has an enforcement arm as they regulate repair shops. They even regulate unlicensed ones. Get them involved immediately. As a bottom line you should be able to get them to make a report about the rip off which you can use in a court of law if needed.
product ? Should we get a Products Liability attorney in California or Oregon ?

The general rule is the case belongs where the injury occurred. Like most things legal, exceptions apply. Here's hoping your daughter is OK.

Maybe? Hire an attorney to review all related documents first.
I bought the car back in 2017 from a dealership and just recently found out it has 4 recalls on it and I was not told it had recalls on it some that are very scary. If someone can advise me on what to do next. Thank you.
answered on Sep 13, 2023
Of course, as a concerned buyer, buying a vehicle, you will want to look into that history before buying. A new car may NOT be sold with an open recall at all. A used one can. DUTY to disclose? That's another question, but, again, when spending that kind of money on a vehicle, it is wise, as... View More
I was assured that the pricey 6k fix was all it needed. Paid cash, picked it up and it broke down an hour later (after they had it for over a week) with same exact symptoms I had taken it in for.

answered on Aug 10, 2023
Why do you want the police involved? Is this not just a breach of contract claim? IF it happened to me and I was NOT an attorney I'd hire one to write a demand letter for the $$$ not paid to you. IF that amount is less than $10,000.00 you likely end up in small claims court if no payment is made.
Payment packing, contract errors, wrong intetest rate, extend your repayment period or raise your monthly payments to pay not only for the vehicle but for add-ons that you didn’t want. I spoke with the salesperson, the finance guy and the manager and they all decline to help
answered on Aug 9, 2023
Most of those terms especially Payment packing, are used in legal circles only. Your knowing that term tells me you have seen one or more sites that handle this? IF so, that is where you should focus your inquiry, with one or more of those firms who specialize in this area of law. Good luck with... View More
