While I agree with my colleagues, I have a different, and practical approach for you to consider.
I think you are inflicting a slow death of a thousand cuts upon yourself with this silly 50/50 warranty.
Your customer will never be happy, and the repair bills will continue to drain... View More
The suit was for $9000 ten years ago and with interest it is now $13000. The process server never saw me. I cant
remember if they left any papers at my door. I called the law firm and the process server but got no reply. Does the Superior court hold records showing how the service was... View More

Unfortunately, it is simply too late to complain. The court file will contain the records, so to satisfy your curiosity you can look at the affidavit of service to see what it says.
However, it is not too late to negotiate and perhaps settle it for a much lower amount. And, filing... View More
I'm in Sunnyvale , CA. I won a lawsuit and the defendant was ordered to pay me some amount of money per judgment (but the judgement didn't specify a deadline for payment). They haven't paid me so far (almost a month after the judgment was filed), how can I collect money from them ?... View More

I assume it is a judgment from the small claims court. Here is the link to the Small Claims Court instructions explaining the steps that hopefully are going to get you paid. https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/small-claims/after-trial/if-you-win
The policy is set to expire 3/20/23. It was purchased in 1981 and was never in arrears.
answered on Feb 27, 2023
You or someone knowledgeable in these things will need to look at the policy to know what you have. Some life insurance contracts accumulate cash value and do not expire until death or a payment default occurs. Or it might be term insurance which expires after a set number of years.

There is a little bit of fact behind the question you raised. In California, the note and deed of trust remain fully enforceable for 10 years AFTER the maturity date of the note.
For example, if you have a 15 year loan and you never made any payment, the lender still has 10 years AFTER the... View More

If the company is validly licensed for this kind of activity and the loan paperwork meets the requirements of law - then your answer is, unfortunately, yes and they can get away with it.
However, worthy of consideration is the fact that every consumer lets them do it to us when we take the... View More
I have our house in a revocable trust and need to transfer (or amend) to protect the assets from litigation/bankruptcy.

You desperately need an in-person sit-down meeting with a bankruptcy expert. You have a lot going on. Maybe more than one meeting will be necessary.
There already are certain protections built into the law that might prove to be sufficient to protect someone's home and other assets.... View More

The damage to the windshield was caused by the negligence of the repair shop, wasn't it? If so, it is not a mechanical defect and is outside of the warranty and the manufacturer has no responsibility for it. Your claim is against the shop.

I'm sorry this happened. You can find answers. But you'll need to do some detective work.
The things we need to know will include:
1. Was the registration current?
2. Where was the vehicle last parked or stored, to your knowledge?
3. Was there a loan on the... View More

Dear Salvador, These things often take a person by surprise. You should see a bankruptcy lawyer immediately for advice. Most BK lawyers do not charge for advice and will give you a free consultation. Do you need to file for bankruptcy? Nobody knows. That's why you are being advised to see a... View More
My landlord said he rang the door bell and knocked the doors I didn’t hear at all. So he said he thought nobody was home and them entered as he has the key. I thought it insulting.
He said it was an emergency as the fire alarm battery was dead and needed replacement.
I argued that... 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

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."

We can't tell you anything because we don't have your records. If you don't want advice from your original lawyer, then consult with some other local BK lawyers.

Go to a lawyer, or several, who handles this type of issue. See what they say.
