It sounds like you may have claims against the contractor - and defenses on the loan. It will be based (in part) on some additional facts and the contents of any written documents you signed. I suggest contacting a Wisconsin consumer lawyer for a free consultation to discuss your rights and options.

Without more facts, it is difficult to answer your question. The statute has different application depending on the type of the vehicle, and other facts surrounding the vehicle.
In court I tried to enter the laws standards for exigent circumstances and was told that I was asking the defendants to interpret the law/ I got this information from appeal courts rulings. I was trying to enter the standards of the laws. Can I appeal this ruling?

It's hard to say with these facts. Parties usually only "submit" legal standards when submitted jury instructions. You can also reference them in briefs.
I filed a report with Federal Consumer Protection Bureau

Recieved a letter saying it has been closed and no further payments are to be made. Just received another letter that they are garnishing my wages for 3,620.04...is this legal?
answered on Oct 29, 2019
Gather up those letters and get them to a consumer lawyer for a free consultation. They should offer you a free consultation to review the documents and determine if you've been garnished too much money.
telling my attorney I was deceased. I was told I should drop them for now and we could add them in later. Now I am being garnished by this collection at a higher price then the agreed settlement amount. Do I have any stance to go after my debt assistance company?

It is hard to say based on your question; but it certainly sounds like you may have a case. I would recommend you get a free phone consultation with a Wisconsin consumer lawyer.

The credit reporting agency (and the company putting the incorrect information on), must investigate your dispute and get back to you in 30 days. Contact a Wisconsin consumer lawyer and get a free...

What if i make a $1,000,000 purchase and it lets me can i go to jail?
answered on May 22, 2018
No, you won't go to jail. Because if your card/bank authorizes the transaction, you'll then owe the bank all that money. They'll freeze your accounts and probably sue you for the money. Don't be stupid; don't do it.

Get a copy of the documents to a consumer lawyer - most of them in Wisconsin offer free consultations. They'll be happy to answer your questions.

Depends on the reason they're closing it. Did they explain why?
My vehicle was recently repossessed, and I didn't receive a notice to cure debt . Now I'm told that I have to pay late fee's ,past due balance of $100, and a $299 fee in order to retrieve my vehicle.
answered on Feb 9, 2018
You may have a case for an "illegal repossession" and be entitled to get the vehicle back -- AND return of all the money you paid on the car. Contact a local consumer lawyer that specializes in repossession cases and request a free consultation.
answered on Jan 24, 2018
You really need to talk with a lawyer about that, before making a decision. It will turn on the nature of the class and the type/strength of individual claims you have.

You need to call a consumer lawyer and get some help. They should offer you a free consultation.
answered on Nov 20, 2017
Most likely, no. That's because 6 years after default (assuming they don't have a judgment and you didn't make any partial payments) the debt can no longer be collected. Find a consumer lawyer and get a free consultation to better understand your rights.
They also are charging 5% interest per year but never notified me of that either. I suppose it's all legal but when someone is suppose to pay it and doesn't, it would have been nice to hear it directly from the hospital first.
answered on Jul 17, 2017
That's an issue of "hot debate" in the legal community these days. I would recommend talking with a lawyer in Wisconsin that handles "consumer law" issues or debt collection issues. I'm sure they'd be happy to take a look at the collection letter with you.... View More

Sounds like you need to utilize something called "chapter 128" that's available to individuals in Wisconsin. You do need to be employed to file; so I"m not sure if you have any employment income in addition to your disability. Here's an article about how a Chapter 128... View More
