The Carmack Amendment is a 1906 revision to the Interstate Commerce Act of 1877, which regulates the relationship between shipping companies and the owners of goods under shipment. The Carmack Amendment limits the liabilities of these shipping companies, known as carriers, to loss or damage of the... View More

I believe the debt is still subject to the California statute.

I suggest you call the creditor attorney immediately and point this out. If you do not get immediate satisfaction then bring a consumer law attorney onto your team immediately.

Was the check made out to you or to someone else and signed over to you?

Clearly there is something making the bank concerned. What could that possibly be?

You say you cashed a similar check 6 months ago.

That is what makes me ask if the check belonged to someone else. If... View More

I think there are initially two issues. What makes you feel this loan is illegal? And, exactly what did you say on the loan application?

Hard money loans are not automatically illegal but normally are made to persons who own a business and are intended for business purposes instead of... View More

You were not clear. What is ‘in their contact?’ I don’t know what you meant to say.

I will answer based on the assumption the contract says no returns.

I also assume the furniture was delivered and the delivery men put it where you told them to.

You certainly do have options. Talk to one or more bankruptcy lawyers to explore those options. If you are informed that bankruptcy is one of those options, you can probably make all the debt go away, even the lawsuits.

Of course not but accidents happen. I am thinking this might have happened when you were making multiple attempts to place the order online.

You need to decide, right now, if this justifies the expense of hiring a lawyer. Time is your enemy. The longer you wait you might lose the right to sue. Go see a lawyer or 2 and see what you will need to spend, and discuss whether a judgment in your favor will be collectable.

YOUR RECOURSE IS TO SUE THE SELLER FOR FRAUD, AND SUE THE TOW YARD FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE. LOOK INTO DOING THIS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOU MIGHT ALSO ASK THE DMV TO INVESTIGATE THE PHONY TAGS.

You are really asking for trouble. You already know that people are misusing the poisons that you are selling. You even admit it!

It is highly likely that anyone injured from your product will sue you, even if they did not follow or read the warnings on your package. Suppose a child who... View More

This sounds like a matter of government regulation. That would be between her and state licensing agency. She will likely face a fine. It should not affect the validity of the auction sales.

If you have proof of the guitar purchase, take it to the shop that reported it as stolen to see if they will help straighten things out with the police. If it won't, contact the shop you bought it from.

You can insist on anything you want, but that is only as good as your ability to enforce your demand. As President Lyndon Johnson used to say, "Don't ever tell a man to go to hell unless you can send him there."

You won't be taking someone to court over a $100 dispute,... View More

You should have an immediate conversation with one or more bankruptcy lawyers. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is designed to give you up to 5 years to catch up your mortgage, all the while protecting you from foreclosure.

With all due respect to you, why is this a "do it yourselfer" without a lawyer? If you can afford to plunk down a check for 10K, then spend another $2k and get her a top BK lawyer to handle this thing correctly. Other questions and issues almost always arise in a case. This is not the... View More

I do understand the problem. But without clear title you wont be able to do either of those things. You might look into leaving the car parked on the street, and call the city to tow away an abandoned car.

The best answer a lawyer can give you for the time being, (without the opportunity to discuss the case at length with you and to see relevant document), is going to have to be, "I hope so."

If you sue, you may be able to obtain attachment orders against the various assets by... View More

You owe them for treating you, UNLESS the contract says that payment is contingent on a successful recovery in a case against the party at fault for the accident.

As the saying goes, if you sleep with dogs you're going to get fleas.

I suggest you tell him to go right ahead and call the police. The police won't care, and if they behave true to form they will tell him this is "a civil matter" and they won't even take a report.... View More

If you are very sensitive or prone to anger, than stop here and read no further because you are not going to like this.

Frankly, I think your pain is largely self inflicted. If you can afford to pay 50% now, I have to believe you could have avoided a default and simply continued to pay the... View More
