This is not a legal question but I will answer it as best I can from personal experience. When you purchase car insurance, car rental coverage is usually defined by duration and the amount payable per day. For example, 30 days at $50 per day. The duration is generally fixed at 30 days. The only... View More

Your plan sounds okay. Generally, you may film anyone or anything in public. As long as you're not misrepresenting what you are capturing (e.g., implying that a business shown was involved when it was not; implying that a person walking down the street is a prostitute or drug dealer, ect.),...

If you put the title in your name, it does not automatically make you responsible for the lien itself. The lien is tied to the previous owner's debt with the bank, and unless you explicitly agreed to assume that debt, it remains their responsibility. However, having a lien on the vehicle could...

Buying a used car from a private seller can be tricky, especially when you end up with a huge repair bill like that.

If a bank will not cash your employer's checks, you can sue your employer for the face amount of the checks that were dishonored, plus court costs and attorney fees. You should send a demand letter to your employer indicating that its payroll check has been dishonored by the bank.

A credit report is a scorecard of how an individual has performed on their promises to repay a financial obligation. A charge off on your 'scorecard' does not say anything good about you and will appear on your credit report for 7 years. Maybe even longer if you have been sued by them.

And due to financial situation she wasn't able to pay the one payment and now a few days later they have sent a text message saying they're going to arrest her for stealing the car. Is that a scam or can they really arrest her for missing one payment.
answered on Oct 2, 2024
No they cannot arrest her for failing to make a car payment on a car she bought. They can, however, repossess the car if they properly recorded a lien against the car.
They could only arrest her if she stole a car registered in their name. When you buy a car, you (or the dealer) must... View More
