A money judgment in Idaho must be renewed every five (5) years and then can only be renewed 3 times. If the creditor continues to try and collect, see if they have renewed their money judgment. If they've renewed it correctly, then it looks like you're only a few years from outliving... View More 
Vehicle was advertised and sold as brand new with 3yr warranty. Manufacturer said it only has 2 years left as it was a demo model. This was not disclosed on the contract or verbally

These are "contract-specific" questions. If the car was advertised as "new," be sure to write down any other, specific terms (promises) they made to you. Where did you learn that the vehicle came with a 3-year warranty? If this was verbally communicated to you, it will be much... View More
I'm trying to help my wife pay off some debts. We tracked down the collection agency holding a $307 debt. When we tried to pay online it stated that a $16 convenience fee would be charged for debit/credit card transactions. Its free to give them a bank routing & checking account # which I... View More

Licensed contractor has a signed contract with Guild Mortgage. is there a cause of action?
answered on Mar 27, 2020
There’s ALWAYS a cause of action. Question is, which party are you? Are you the builder? Contractor? Guild Mortgage? So many questions have I.

Finding a money order is akin to finding a credit card and then trying to use it. It’s a felony and carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The money comes from a tax on Amazon. How do i get a piece of it ?
answered on Oct 24, 2019
I didn't know that private citizens were entitled to share in a tax imposed upon Amazon? What makes you think that you're entitled to take part of a tax that Amazon has to pay based upon, what? I need a LOT more information before I could give you a very good answer.
Do i have any legal repercussion? I have tried to talk to them in facebook but they have blocked both me and my husband after selling it to us.

All debt collection STOPS as soon as you file ANY chapter in bankruptcy. If you’re behind on a car payment and you file bcy the collection against you will stop immediately. Same with a house if you’re behind on your mortgage. However the collection on these two kinds of debts will start again... View More

My wife and I went to our gym in 2016 told them we wanted to cancel, the desk worker confirmed we were cancelled and would no longer be charged. A year later we have discovered that we are still being charged. I called the billing company and they say that per our contract we have to write a letter... View More

While I feel that you have a valid complaint, the issue will be proving that you gave the verbal cancellation. Is there anything evidence from that day?

Contact the Idaho Civil Liberties Union and ask if they have a prison rights division --this has been litigated.

My fiancé and I recently purchased a table from Ashley's Furniture under the impression we were "buying" it and making payments to pay it off. Well after 90 days we found out we were going to be charged $1500 for the initial $500 table. We told them that we were NEVER informed that... View More

It would be important to allege that the 90-day price point increase was not set forth in the rental contract and... View More

Usually, when you obtain medical treatment, devices, or services, you agree to pay the bill, one way or the other. If you have insurance, the doctor submits to insurance for possible coverage. Pre-authorization is determined if necessary. If you do not have insurance coverage, usually you have... View More
