The ceiling in the downstairs bathroom had a leak. Neither is, our realtor and our inspector saw this leak. We had the inspection in May and in July we moved in due to the current owners preference. They are refusing any compensation and I cannot prove they knew about the leak. We noticed the... View More

First, with regard to the inspector, you would need to look at the agreement and see if there is any language that limits the company's exposure. If there is nothing in there and the leak was obvious as to where the inspector should have known about it, you could bring a civil claim against... View More

Tough break! Buying a used car is always a big risk. Unfortunately, the Lemon Law only covers new or slightly used cars.
In order to hold the dealer accountable, you would need to prove that they knew about a material defect and that had you known about said defect, you would not have... View More

She can certainly petition the Court for emancipation. There is no real bright line test, but the Courts have a lot of discretion in declaring a minor emancipated.

No one was inside the car. There was no damage. Maybe made a tiny section of the car sticky. The person however is accusing us of keying the car. We did not.

However, there is he possibility that they could certainly charge you. If that were to happen, talk to... View More
A lost prevention agent is threatening to charge me with Eating and abetting felony theft if I don’t give him $1700 by Friday how can I be assured that he won’t charge me anyway

Definitely call and defense attorney on this onw. Paying back the claim is really inconsequential to possible criminal charges you could face. It seems shady that agent is directly requesting payment. Consult an attorney immediately as something does not smell right.
Lied to police and said she was 'next of kin'. The police required zero proof. Now the man's girlfriend and their children have nothing. The police, Sheriff, etc refuse to take a report of the crime. It has been more than 2 years. Can anything be done?

You will certainly want to go the civil route if police are unwilling to investigate. This would seem to be the case considering it has been two years. If you are in Minnesota, you can bring a claim in small claims court. The cost I last checked was $60.00 to file and the claim must be for under... View More

You should certainly demand a copy of the video. If there is no other eye witness and the video quality makes it difficult to identify the car and/or the driver, the prosecution has quite the uphill battle.
