I paid cash for a used motorcycle from a repair/dealership owned by someone I have known a long time. The owner himself sold it to me. I gave him the cash, he gave me the title and keys. Done deal right? Well turns out the title he gave me was 'invalid'. I found this out after bike was... Read more »
I was up to date with payments with them until I just couldn't even afford the minimum payment. I was barely able to pay my rent. I work in the restaurant industry, and it was hit hard. I did try to work out something with them but what they wanted I still couldn't afford. I stopped... Read more »

The restaurant industry was hurt terribly, (and unnecessarily in my opinion), by government regulations and forced closures.

I purchased a used motorcycle with cash from a dealership who claimed they were selling it on consignment. They gave me a title that had signatures already on it (as if it wasn't ever transfered last time it was sold) and the keys. I figured as long as i have the title im good but When I went...

Yep. You got scammed. I suggest you tell the dealership that they have 24 hours to refund your money or else you will file a complaint against their dealership license with the State of California. In addition to filing the complaint, you can also file against the dealer in the local small claims... Read more »

I am sorry you are having this problem. However, the description of a "chargeback dispute" tells us nothing about the merit or lack of merit concerning your claim. I suggest you submit a new question and provide some brief details, and you should then get some helpful advice.

Your friend needs to have somebody read the contract to him. Does the contract say the price of the car is $30,000 or is it $32,000?
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. Is this true... Read more »

You have asked a good question which should serve as a warning to all consumers: Read the contract before you sign it.
I think I can guarantee that if you had complained before you signed, those add-ons would have been removed. The dealer's explanation is simply bs to lull people into... Read more »
I am pursuing a California professional state license that requires a credit check and might need to clear up some old judgments from 10 and 14 years ago. I can pay the amounts originally owed, but adding on the interest pushes beyond what I can afford. Is it possible to make this type of deal with... Read more »

A bankruptcy lawyer should be able to provide you with legal advice and representation for this matter. In fact, both of those judgments may have expired and become unenforceable due to the passage of time, unless they were timely renewed.
I rented a storage unit yesterday, paid $165 it’s paid thru April 3. today I was locked out and my stuff is being kept unless I pay $689.00 because of a unit I rented that was sent to collections 18 years ago. Is this legal?
answered on Mar 6, 2022
It is not legal what they are doing. The statute of limitations on that contract and any warehouse lien expired more than a decade ago. They are in breach of your new contract, guilty of conversion, fraud, and in violation of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. They would have been within... Read more »

Sure, you can do it yourself, but if you want an enforceable agreement, you should have a lawyer handle it.

We hired a vendor to do some small work for our business. We set up their banking information since they preferred to get paid that way.

They are not entitled to keep the overpayment. I suggest you sue them immediately in small claims court. Don't delay. Your local court will even help you fill things out and explain what you must do.

It is never OK for the police to lie. But you are not clear about what the lie is? If the police told you that this is a civil matter and the DA won't file on it, I agree with them.
Your beef is with the nephew. You can sue him in small claims court.

Yes, you are responsible. The window was not broken until you hit a ball and it struck the window, breaking it. Why would you think that you don't need to pay for it?
I received treatment from a planned parenthood and paid my bill in full at the end of my appointment.

answered on Dec 4, 2021
How did they "mess up"? You owe what the treatment cost, plain and simple. If they gave you the correct bill at the time of your treatment, you would have paid, wouldn't you? So what is different about giving you a corrected bill later on the same day?
Don't you ever... Read more »
