answered on Oct 18, 2024
Here’s what you can do in this situation:
First, it’s important to get a copy of whatever document they claim you signed. If they’re saying it’s a lease, you need to see exactly what’s in it and whether it includes any terms that bind you to paying rent, even if you never moved... View More

answered on Oct 18, 2024
If the builder, Matt Sowash, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, this can complicate your ability to recover money for the home.

If the seller made a false statement about replacing the water pump or the car’s condition, and you relied on that statement when deciding to purchase the vehicle, you could... View More

Disney sues everyone. Until your channel got large, nothing would happen. But 100% this is going to receive a cease and desist letter from a large law firm the moment you reach 10,000 subs.
