A: Under California law, a verbal agreement can be enforceable if it meets the essential elements of a contract, including offer, acceptance, consideration, and mutual intent. However, proving the terms and existence of a verbal contract can be challenging without corroborative evidence.

If an entity in the financial industry engages in deceptive practices or conduct causing emotional distress, you may have grounds for a claim based on torts, like intentional infliction of emotional distress or fraud. Moreover, if they continue behaviors that they've been ordered by the court to cease, they may be in contempt of court. Victims of such misconduct can seek both injunctive relief to stop the behavior and damages for any harm suffered. As always, it's crucial to gather strong evidence and consult with an attorney familiar with the specifics of your situation. Ensure that you act within the statute of limitations applicable to your claims.

A: Verbal contracts can be enforceable, outside several types of contracts that have to be in writing. However, in verbal contracts, there is generally an issue of proof. A California attorney could advise more definitively after discussing your matter in greater detail. Good luck
