What you can do is what you already should have done before the lien expired - you can file a lawsuit, and if you win you can have a judicial lien imposed, and then get a writ of execution to foreclose the lien.

Your lingering problems are two: you have a tendency to sit on your hands, and... View More

I think you have been defrauded. I suggest two things. File suit immediately in small claims court. The case is too small to justify hiring a lawyer, even though for you it was a large sum of money. The other step to take immediately is to file a complaint with the state department of justice -... View More

I'm sorry you have been having so much hard luck.

Giving the car back does not get you off the hook. Whether the car is returned or repossessed, the lender will auction it, and you can be sued for any loan balance that remains after the sales money is paid to the lender.

It is... View More

Putting the agreement on paper will be helpful, because if you have to sue her the written agreement should make it a breeze for you to win your case. However, the written agreement itself does nothing to make her pay up - making her pay will require her voluntary compliance or else a court... View More

As far as the bank is concerned, they simply followed your son's instructions. If he got scammed, it's not the bank's fault. You don't get to have the bank pay you back.

Worthy of consideration is that your son caused damage to the other car, and the other is owned by... View More

I'm really sorry for you. Unfortunately, the time to be vigilant is before you hire a contractor. As you now know, everything you now know about him could have been discovered by you before you hired him.

I'm sure you already know that deadbeats don't pay their bills.... View More

It sounds illegal. You can sue the dealer in small claims court and you can make a complaint to the California DMV: The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) licenses and regulates new and used motor vehicle dealers. If you would like to report a problem or dispute you have with a motor vehicle... View More

Hopefully the 2nd check has not yet cleared and you can stop payment. If it has cleared ask the payee to refund it immediately.

Unless the contractor got your written approval to increase the amount after you accepted the original bid, you should be able to recover the difference.... View More

Your position sounds logical, but I do see some flaws in your argument. You say this happened 2 years earlier, right? So, are you saying that for the last 2 years, you never looked at your insurance bills, and never noticed that your rates and coverage had changed? I find that hard to believe, if... View More

I suggest you talk to your own insurance agent to find out if you making a claim will affect your rates. This is probably the kind of incident covered under your 'comprehensive' coverage which may cover things on a no-fault basis. Like, if her parked car was vandalized.

I assume you do not have the money to cure the rent default.

Filing bankruptcy may delay the eviction for a few weeks. Maybe a little longer. Although you will wind up evicted anyway, but you should be able to discharge all the back rent owed up until the date you file.

After you... View More

You do it the same way you collect a judgment from any other defendant. First you must win a judgment and than you execute on assets. However, in the case of Amazon vendors you might have an advantage. The advantage is that you know where the defendant's money comes from and where it is... View More

I can't help but feel that you are going in the wrong direction. A motion to quash etc. is nothing more than fancy dance moves that do not win the lawsuit. It gives you extra time to file an answer or other response to the complaint. That's all it does for you. Are you going to waste time... View More

Fire protection is a justifiable reason for him to enter. I'll assume he had the necessary battery and installed it during the incident.

You are being unreasonable.

I agree that it could have been handled better, but that does not mean it was handled in a way that is... View More

You have the couch and the store has not collected much money. Hard to believe they would deliver it without getting paid in full. But, the store had the couch made as per the measurements on the receipt. In my opinion, a court will not blame them.

So, you too have problems. The receipt is... View More

To buy the car, just call the leasing company that you make the payments to. The dealer does not own the car and has no say in this process.

I hope you did not pay the dealer for 'certification.' That is just scam BS. You might report the dealer to the DMV, it sounds to me like a... View More

I think you are entitled to sue the dealer, and file a complaint against the dealer with the DMV.

I believe that what you signed is not allowed to override California Code, Vehicle Code - VEH § 11736.

Small claims court is where you take this to sue.

"Undisclosed" and "overlooked" do not have the same meanings.

Financing terms must be set out nicely and boldly. You can retain a lawyer to review your contract and advise you on whether your contract complies with the law. But if you did business with a new car dealer,... View More

The Chase garnishment will last for only 90 days, but it can be renewed. You should file yours now anyway, so that you will be the next in line when Chase's ends. Otherwise, Chase stays ahead of you if you never get to the front of the line.

An anti-theft device does not guarantee that a car can't be stolen. If you buy a can of pepper spray does that guarantee that someone can't mug you?

If you sue, you have the burden of proving your case. That can be quite a hurdle. Here's why:

Issues you must prove... View More
