Hard to say, but I'm sure you have options. Assuming you and the dog have bonded and love each other, I'd get a value for this one and assuming it is lower than $3,000.00 I'd demand the difference from the seller, if it were me.
I hired somebody to build the back part of my semi truck. The price agreed was $38,000. Throughout the past months I have sent him 30,000 for material & labor. The work was supposed to be completed 2 months ago. I learned that he has not bought material or started any work on it at all and that... View More

Sure, you can sue. Most attorneys are likely to want a similar amount of money, or at least five figures I'd guess, to get this started for you, and hope in the end to be able to get some money from the 'bad guy' towards atty fees, but, there are no guarantees. The BAR has initial... View More

You do not want to 'talk' to strange lawyers on the net. Have your attorney re-do what s/he did to get it right.

Dealership added warranty, paint protection, and gps tracker on the contract. The contract was already signed, we were able to have the warranty removed, but not the paint protection and gps theft protection as they said they are required when buying new vehicles from their dealership.

The law in AZ is almost assuredly different than the law in CA and if you were in CA I'd advise you to reach out to the DMV, who monitors and licenses dealers, as those things are not required, that's a scam plain and simple. In AZ, they tend to care more about businesses than they do... View More
We thought we got a good deal on a car. But on contract signing, we noticed there were warranty add ons totaling $6000. We told the financial guy we did not want all those, and he said it is part of the financing agreement since my husband is a first time buyer. My husband signed the contract and... View More

We have a signed contract she made 3 of 6 payments sold the truck not telling me an now won't talk or tell me anything

You can refuse to give them title to the vehicle.
BUT, as described this is not a criminal matter.
Instead, it's a civil matter, a breach of contract.
I was shopping at home depot and went to the garden center to look for Spanish lavender.

I informed that employee and the one at the register that I was going to... View More

Sorry for your issues.
Luckily this happened almost immediately after you spoke to the two employees
and you told the loss prevention folks AND they still have video of this event, so,
it's really a non-issue, right?

Start with the state contractor's licensing board.
IF you get nowhere there, then try an atty who
handles consumer protection.
I have an unsigned purchase order with their and my names on it along with the agreed price. 15 months later it arrived. They told me the cost has gone up $2200 and if I want it I will have to pay more than agreed price. Can they do that?
answered on May 3, 2022
They did it. The question is, "can they make it stand?"
As you've framed it, no. But the true context of it all
will be in the contract itself. Show it to an attorney for
a review to find out for sure what your rights are.
Roof leaks are covered under warranty by solar company. I have been in contact with them for a few months but they have yet to bring anyone out to have a look at the roof. Is there anything I could do about this situation?
answered on May 2, 2022
Sorry for your issues. There are many options.
To me, since you do not want massive damage you get it fixed asap AND
make sure those who ARE fixing make a record that it was in fact the
SOLAR people's fault. THEN later, imho, you go after the solar folks.
Good luck with it...

Assuming all facts to be true and correct and these are the only facts, yes, you would have a case v. Dealer and v. Holder of the contract, here, you've described them as a 'financial institution.'

I took out a loan for $6,300 in June of 2019 and have paid back over $17,000. I still have a principal balance of over $6,800. The APR is listed as 99% and I was wondering if this is legal in California or are there consumer protections?
answered on Apr 29, 2022
So, here is where you can START your research. There WAS a time where the only protections were for loans (in CA) that were UNDER $2,500.00. It's why a lot of places like "We Lend" or "You Owe" or similar sounding names "trust you!" Because, once you borrow more... View More
I Thought selling the vehicle covered all the fees
answered on Apr 27, 2022
Yes they can. Not sure about covering as 'selling' is often a scam wherein they sell to someone LOW, who they are in business (or family) with and then after that sale, they re sell it for fair value. They also chase the original owner for the shortfall in the first sale...

Sounds like both facts can be true, as in, they lived up to their end by delivering and you did not get it. So, the Judge will decide and who knows what s/he will decide??? Maybe it would be better to make a claim on your insurance?
