Q: I took my car back from a mechanic after they did 1800$ for a service that wasn't authorized. Now I'm being charged
I'm being charged with theft of service but I've been paying since the beginning and they have been cashing my checks. Plus I have to turn myself in within 10 days. Seems like by doing that it's a forced confession. Is there an injunction to stop that?
A: If you did not authorize the charges, then you should not have started paying and should have sent them a letter by certified mail informing them why. Now that you have started paying, you should consult with a local attorney to help you out with the matter.
