I bought a used Lexus in CA in 2020. Since I literally left the parking lot, the light on the dashboard has been on. The vehicle is constantly needing service. I have tried several times to contact corporate, but they still have not returned my calls or emails. The dealership is very... View More

This is apparently not a lemon law problem. Lemon law applies only to vehicles that are still under the manufacturer's warranty. You bought an after-market warranty. However, you have plenty of very legitimate grievances. The Better Business Bureau and the Calif Dept of Consumer Affairs... View More

Think about it. It's logical. (Also, the law requires it.) Here's why that is.
First, you live in a community property state. The law says that community property belongs to both spouses, even though you yourself don't practice doing that. The law overrides how you and your... View More

Problems like this really can't be solved without significant homework. It is urgently necessary to put together copies of all your receipts and then see if it all adds up to the number of payments, (plus any late fees) that should have been paid going back to the beginning of the contract....

when my uncle picked up my truck it was hooked up to a trailer, that was not mine. Then when I was looking in my back seat for something I found two ketchup packets from a place that's more than 2 hours from where I live. Then today I found another receipt that was not mine and was dated for... View More

You can sue the mechanic. Your claim for damages is going to be the daily rental value of the vehicle. Keep in mind that you must prove the case. Your uncle's testimony will be needed in court. However, ketchup packets normally do not have the name and address of a restaurant. Usually, it says... View More

It sounds like this fact situation came right out of playing a game of Monopoly: 'bank error in your favor, collect $200.' The difference is that in Monopoly you get to keep the cash. In real life, you don't get to keep it.
The law strongly favors seeing the bank recover... View More

A lawyer will cost you at least several thousand dollars. Obviously, that's not the way to go. Maybe small claims court will give you some relief.
Ask your bank if they can reverse the payout, back-charging the payee and putting the money back in your account.

There are many lawyers who specialize in this kind of case, and I believe the lawyer fees can be recovered. Do a Google search for the names of lawyers who do this work against IEP, OC Regional center, IHSS.
According to the IRS a Charge Off is income, thus can not be a debt. Also a dollar bill is merely a promissory note. A debt note, which technically can not pay any debts. Example, you use dollar bills to pay PG&E, but they use the remittance to actually pay the bill. So what do they do with the... View More

A credit report is a scorecard of how an individual has performed on their promises to repay a financial obligation. A charge off on your 'scorecard' does not say anything good about you and will appear on your credit report for 7 years. Maybe even longer if you have been sued by them.

Bankruptcy could be helpful. But how do we know? The advice you get on a question-and-answer site is general, and never specific because no conversation is taking place. In response to a question like yours, I doubt you can get an answer that is actually helpful.
Go see a bankruptcy lawyer,... View More

You may sue the police, (or the city) for the value of your car and your personal property that was in the car. Small claims court might be a good place for your suit. There are strict time limits and notices that must be given to a governmental entity before you are allowed to sue it. You will... View More

I am thinking that maybe your car was impounded because it was unregistered, (you hint at registration fees owed). You say that a couple of months have passed, but it was really almost a year ago. I think you will get better advice if you submit a new question with clear details.
bankruptcy was filed during and/or after the filing of the lien was filed by creditor.
answered on Sep 7, 2024
You need a bankruptcy lawyer to look at the date of the judgment, the date of the lien, and the date the abstract of judgment was recorded. That is the only way for you to know what you might be able to do.
Can they attach money received in reverse mortgage? We are seniors with considerable health conditions. The credit cards are my husbands. Can they go after my individual accounts? Thanks in advance!
answered on Aug 31, 2024
They can attach money you get from your mortgage as soon as you receive it. So instead of running away from the problem, why don't you solve it? Go see a bankruptcy lawyer immediately.
The lawyer will be able to advise you on whether your home will be protected in a BK, and if you are... View More

answered on May 14, 2024
You can't go into court with only the argument that they won't honor the warranty. You will have to be specific.
You should submit a new question and describe the warranty problem. It's hard to believe that GE will not honor a valid warranty claim.

In my opinion their action is very justified. For all anyone would know, your IRA might have
$1 million. You already provided bank statements, so don't expect us to believe that you won't provide the IRA statements "due to privacy and security concerns."
