Bought computer from pawn shop due to 16GB RAM. After taking home and going through laptop, RAM is only 8GB. Is this false advertisement?
answered on Sep 12, 2024
An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over a week. It could be, if it was advertised as such. But it could also be an innocent error (negligent misrepresentation) if the shop believed it to be such from what the original owner told them. Good luck

It sounds like it would be a difficult case. If it was a small amount of mold, which could be the case under a cap, you'd need to correlate that to hair-related damages. This is only my individual opinion. Other attorneys could see things differently. The most reliable way to answer your... View More

So, you got a check from someone, deposited it and now the bank not only will not credit it to you but also closed your account? IF they cannot verify you are you, how did you OPEN the account? WHY can you not prove you are you? Why not ask the maker of the check to re-issue? Good luck with itl

Your position sounds logical, but I do see some flaws in your argument. You say this happened 2 years earlier, right? So, are you saying that for the last 2 years, you never looked at your insurance bills, and never noticed that your rates and coverage had changed? I find that hard to believe, if... View More

You will have to have an attorney review the document. It’s unclear whether it is a contract or just a disclosure. Also unclear is whether the increase in price will justify the legal fees to dispute it.
