I received a civil summons on an old debt (The statute of limitations runs out February 1, 2025) that I have been disputing since 2020. I've requested a full transaction and payment history numerous times. They only provided 3 billing statements and verbally informed me that that's all... View More

Potentially. If the card was used for something that was not intended or for an amount that was not agreed to. There is also the problem of authorized users on a credit card. Regardless of whether the owner of the card gave you permission you likely did not have permission from the credit card... View More

Yes, you can file suit in CT for an injury that happened here, and it is something that a licensed CT attorney like myself could help with. You should be aware that a "foreign" (out-of-state) company could try to have the case "removed" to Federal court if the amount in dispute... View More
I have a case against a powerhouse of an institution. And I have a strong issue to prevail on. But there's a couple of other issues that I could bring up. Not really to "win" on, or through. But, instead, one could be mentioned to fully paint the picture of what this company is... View More

A Connecticut attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. Your post raises many general considerations in a lawsuit. However, without knowing the context and additional details, it is difficult for any attorney to offer meaningful guidance on your questions. Yes, there... View More
I'd like to know what is required to win a case like this. Is the only way to win is to prove both parties are guilty? Or can the case reveal that just one of them is, and they're 100% responsible? The other party would be off the hook. But I would still win the case. Is this how they... View More

A Connecticut attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There is no quick, direct answer that applies in all settings of the type you describe. It could depend on the roles of the parties, their relationship, legal theories posed, legal issues that need to be proven... View More
I currently have a personal injury lawsuit pending against the driver of the box truck who sideswiped me on the highway and admitted fault on scene. It later occurred to me that we were going around 65-70 mph when he hit me and none of my airbags deployed despite my car being totaled. Do I have a... View More

Your question indicates you have a case pending. If you have an attorney, I would suggest this question should be directed to them.
“Cash price” means the total amount in dollars at which the seller and buyer agreed the seller would transfer unqualified title to the goods, if the transaction were a cash sale instead of a sale under a retail installment contract.

A Connecticut attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. There didn't appear to be a question, but possibly an outlining of terms or definitions in a contract. You may have resolved the matter by now, but if not, you could reach out to Connecticut attorneys... View More
The car has gone into this shop with a full coverage warranty. They would keep the vehicle in their shop for multiple weeks to repair simple things, and return the car with the same problems. This continued over the course of 2-3 years, until the engine failed and was considered totalled. The... View More

Unlikely at this point. You'd need an expert to testify that the engine fialed due to what they did and for no other reason. Part of the problem is also you kept taking it back--the law would say some of that's on you, because you didn't want to have a competent mechanic look at it.... View More
firm for collection. My question is can the law firm which is in ct. send me a summons for charged off debt? I believe the laws in ct. prohibit this.
answered on Feb 26, 2021
It's not clear what you mean by "charged off debt." Did you pay the debt? Then that is a defense and you may have a counterclaim. However note the time to respond to the complaint.
Note: capital one is sometimes sloppy with their complaints, and especially showing that the... View More

the debt is about 1,700 Have not made any effort to contact them
answered on Oct 24, 2019
You don't want to take the approach of ignoring this. It is really something for a Connecticut attorney to advise you on; but it is also something on which you should take some form of action without further delay. If you missed a court date, that could possibly result in a default judgment... View More
I'm in a dispute with my landlord over shared metering in CT. He doesn't not provide us with a split bill, and cannot prove how much electricity we use. According to CGS § 16-262e, he should be liable to pay for the electricity. As far as I know he doesn't have a PURA certified sub... View More

Does 3 yr statue of limitation of cc collection apply? Can I stop garnishment and recover money if Improperly garnished ? I am a paying customer.
answered on Sep 26, 2018

We were not married and had nothing in writing about any agreement and everything was under her name
answered on Aug 11, 2017
It will depend on how this all transpired. Did you authorize this transfer somehow? Did she commit identity fraud? Your question is still somewhat vague.
What type of lawyer do I need

You need to sit down and consult with an attorney who focuses on Modifications and Foreclosure Defense as soon as possible. It is possible you have a case against the mortgage company for not properly applying payment. We have handled cases similar to this before against some of the larger banks.... View More
