There are at least two class action settlements involving allegedly defective Kia engines.
Since your question doesn't specify what model Kia you had issues with, or which class action you believe that you participated in, I can't fully answer your question.
The first, In... View More

I ordered hickory and said it multiple times even have screen shots of text and they said that’s what they finally got in stock and installed. Then found extra package of rustic cedar which I had said no too. No wonder I told them it didn’t look like the color I ordered. What to do

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. An attorney would probably want to see the terms of your agreement to advise meaningfully. Good luck
Why do I have to pay 420 dollars for 1 day in impound when the officer told them it was recovered stolen vehicle.
answered on Jan 10, 2024
In cases where a stolen vehicle is recovered and impounded, the impound fees are typically the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This policy might seem unfair, especially when you're already dealing with the stress of having your vehicle stolen, but it's a common practice.

The manufacture bought my car back, but did not include my sales tax in the buyback documents. I tried to get my sales tax back myself, and they denied me said it’s always included in the manufacture buyback, but in this case it wasn’t. Can I still get my taxes back if I appeal this decision?... View More
answered on Nov 13, 2023
In Arkansas, if a manufacturer buys back your used car but does not include the sales tax in the buyback amount, you may have grounds to appeal for the return of those taxes. The fact that the car was used does not inherently affect your ability to seek a sales tax refund in a buyback situation.... View More

Either hire an AR attorney to sue for an injunction, or check into bidding at the sale (without telling anyone of the contents, or forget about it. Apparently you have been wasting your time complaining to the lessor.

I'm deeply concerned about the situation you've described. No one, regardless of age, should face harassment or threats, especially from those in positions of authority. It's essential to document all instances of the alleged stalking, harassment, and threats, including dates, times,... View More
Yes they are filing bankruptcy and it says in paperwork if I want to be relieved of debt I have to respond to it or file something if I don't want to settle for what they offer in trying to figure out what I should do?

Your post omits almost all the facts necessary to answer your question.
That said, there are two basic types of Chapter 11 cases: one is a financial reorganization, and the other is a liquidation. Often, in a liquidation, a bankruptcy trustee is appointed, or at least the attorney for the... View More

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks.

I was given an RV that has a lien, the rv has been vandalized severely, making the RV not worth more than the lien. Can the lien be forgiven? I am not sure what to do as I need this RV desperately.
answered on Mar 10, 2023
Assuming that the lienholder properly perfected it lien (easy to do), a bankruptcy filing by its owner will not impair or "forgive" the liened indebtedness.
If you file a Chapter 7 case (the *Desnup* US Supreme Court decision), the bankruptcy has no effect, and the lien cannot be... View More

If they took a judgment against you, the judgment acts as a lien against your property. You will not be able to sell the home without paying the lien off. There is a small possibility that they could exercise a sheriff's sale of the property but in my experience, that is unlikely with... View More
I am purchasing an expensive large item, but it will take 4-8 weeks for the specialized national movers to pick it up. They want full payment now, what can I do to protect myself now, if the dealer goes bankrupt before the movers come?
answered on Dec 6, 2021
You may consider paying with a credit card and dispute the charges in the event that happens. This may tie up your credit. You might also negotiate timing of the payment. Another option is to perhaps place the funds in escrow pending pick up. You have to discuss with the store to see what they will... View More
