I never received a paycheck from a place I worked for only one day and I assumed it was because I was still training. I just received a W-2 from them saying I did earn wages but I never received them despite setting up direct deposit. Who would I contact about this, some legal department or the... Read more »
A business’s legal department is the business itself. I suggest contacting the HR or payroll person at the business.
There is a loan company in a near town that repetitively sends me adds in the mail that I have on a number of occasions asked to stop sending me adds, I have asked them a number of times to remove my address and they still have not.
You can sue for unsolicited calls, text messages, and junk faxes under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) because it provides a "private right of action." Emails are covered by the CAN SPAM Act and individual cannot sued under that act. I'm not aware of any statute that allows you to... Read more »
I was told that only the prosecutor can pursue the person who sued me in civil case and lied under oath, because perjury is a crime.
If that is true, how can I be sued for a CRIME, if not by the PROSECUTOR, in CRIMINAL Court????
Ok. To try to be clearer.... OJ Simpson was tried for... Read more »
I’m not following your post. Perjury is a crime and you seem to understand that a prosecutor prosecutes criminal cases. Some acts can be pursued both civilly and criminally. Think OJ Simpson.
My landlord violated our lease agreement on several things.

Whether you are an independent contractor or an employee, it sounds like you are owed money. Your options are to try to get paid on your own, file suit on your own, or hire an attorney to try to get you paid or to file suit.
I was in a child custody case.
My husband passed away and his family legally by default got temporary custody and my daughter saying that I was a drug addict I was not a good mom because of my drug use. I had all clean UA's to clean hair follicles and they dismissed the case before trial... Read more »
Contact an attorney in your area, put down a substantial sum, and go for it.
First of all the liens are approx 10 years old. Secondly, they are for credit card debt in only my wife's name. I would like to know how to get those removed. The property is in both our names and has been for 28 years in springfield missouri. The liens are from judgements against my wife. I was... Read more »
It sounds like you already received good legal advice. It the judgment has not attached as a lien, then there’s no lien to remove.
The judgement is from a car accident where I hit a rental with no insurance. I didnt go to court so I got a default judgement. I have no idea what I owe and my drivers license has since been suspended. So this in return has cost me a lot of legal trouble. I'm supposed to be paying an attorney of... Read more »
First, if your attorney won’t return your calls hire a different one, assuming you can pay.
Second, I’m not sure what you mean by “remove” the default judgment. If you seek to have it removed from appearing on Casenet, that is not likely to happen. If it was a default judgment... Read more »
If you have an attorney, this is a question that you should direct to your attorney. In general, however, once an order is issued you must comply immediately unless the order provides a different date.
I was working for this company for 2 and a half years. At first I was just a kennel tech 8.50/hr when i first started. Few months later they made me kennel manager and on salary for 650.00 till just recently I got fired. Being kennel manager they let me get the house that's on the property. At... Read more »
A "legal" eviction requires a court case and judgment against you before the landlord can have the sheriff execute on the judgment and return possession to the landlord. It sounds like you were given a notice to vacate from the landlord and that the landlord will likely file suit if you don't... Read more »
The buyer might not have a good claim for breach of contract but could sue under the Merchandising Practices Act, but, in short, would need to prove that you made a misrepresentation or failed to disclosre a problem witht the animal's health.
I have a 10 day no death guarantee. He received the pup on 11/25 he took to the vet 11/30 puppy passed 12/11
Sounds like it would depend on when the dog died.
I have an issue with my current employer which has made working there stressful on me. I have put in to leave at the end of April but want to leave sooner. My question is on asking for a severance package. While it would be hard for me to prove unpaid overtime, I am sure the company knows since... Read more »
If you believe you are entitled to unpaid overtime then raise that issue.
Your other issue is whether you ought to try to engage in blackmail. That’s your call but you may find yourself looking for good criminal defense attorney.
Hi, I live in Missouri and have a rental business. Every month I have to go through 1-4 evictions. Most judgments I get are never paid. This is an ongoing issue. To make things easier, I have created a spreadsheet that fills out forms for Rent and Possession, Unlawful Detainers and Garnishment... Read more »
Rent and Possession petitions and Unlawful Detainer petitions need not be filed using the forms made available by the Missouri judiciary or your local circuit court. I am not certain but believe that the garnishment forms on the available at https://www.courts.mo.gov/page.jsp?id=103116 and your... Read more »
I am filing a garnishment form (CV92) in Missouri. I am confused on if the Debtor or the Employer is the Respondent. I have Googled this and it's about a 50/50 split. So who do I list as the Respondent? The Debtor or the Employer?
On that form, the defendant is the respondent. The person or company being served the garnishment is the garnishee.
I hope this answer helps you get your money.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a statement on yourself."
No. The 18-year-old is not a girl but rather a woman.
He also said he was investigating me for 22 days and built a case and closed my file and is turning it in to the PA and that charges will be filed.
What's a "criminal intelligence investigator"? Make sure this isn't a scam.
It could depend on who was on the other end and if that person is a party to the suit and whether you provide that it is authentic and whether you overcome any hearsay objection.
Yes, Missouri has a strong consumer protection statutes, the Merchandising Practices Act (MPA).
The MPA can be a defendant’s nightmare. It covers consuer contracts and creates liability for even innocent misrepresentations:
