I have invested countless hours researching facts, law, and evidence, and ultimately we filed an 88 page, 11 count complaint in the McLean County IL Circuit Court pro-se, asking for at least $144,000 in damages against three defendants. This was filed on July 3, with the corporation's... View More

Probably. Depending on the wording of your complaint (your attachment won't go through this system) it's possible you'll be limited to a default judgment as to liability and still need a hearing at which you prove your damages and each defendant has an opportunity to try to disprove... View More

Yes, there are resources where Creditors can discover bank accounts. And, if they discover your bank accounts, and if you testify to them at an examination, they are likely to levy on the accounts unless you have an agreement with them.

Bank accounts do not generally show in credit reports, only credit cards.

garnish, no. Levy yes. The difference is they can only get what you were due at the time of the Levy, not what you may be due in the future.
I believe they could put a levy on my bank account. My wages from uber go into this account. Can I open a new bank account, and use that for my wages? Do creditors have to make seperate court filings for individual banks? Or does one bank levy order apply for all banks ?
Company acknowledged cancelation and then the package was shipped out 12 hours later. I'd imagine it was the following day. On the 13th it was delivered .

if the cancellation was processed and the refund issued before the package was shipped, you may have grounds to keep the package without any further obligations.
However, if the cancellation and refund were processed after the package was already shipped or if the company's policy... View More

Thank you for the questions. I can't be certain unless I have read the contract. Did you read it in detail? Are there parts that you do not understand?
When you look closely at what they did charge you sure that the downpayment was not included?
People will ask me "How... View More
I am 22 years old now and financially independent from my parents. I have great credit and no debts. I went to make an appointment with an orthodontist, but they said the Dr may not accept me as a patient because my parents never paid off the braces I had when I was 12. I didn't finish... View More
answered on Apr 14, 2023
An orthodontist (or any professional) can refuse to see you for any reason, other than one based on discrimination against a member of a legally protected class. For example, he can't refuse to see you because you are black or white, Buddhist or Baptist, married or single, and so on, because... View More

Well, it appears that the mechanic did not do his job correctly. If the mechanic cannot fix the problem or reimburse you for your expenses, I would suggest litigating this matter in Small Claims Court. If the mechanic is unresponsive, you can let him know that you plan to file a case in Small... View More

Maybe. Before you go down that road, your best advice may be to have the car towed to the dealer before anything else is done. The dealer can tell you whether the heater core was properly installed and they should be able to explain how it would be possible to damage the computer while performing... View More
I got a 3k check from my car insurance, repair shop was supposed to charge me it plus $500 deductible from my end. They only charged me $500 total and are just now asking for the check.
I live near Chicago, Illinois . Thanks lol
answered on Feb 3, 2022
Well, its your lucky day. The amount of check from the insurance was based upon an estimate of damage provided to them by their adjuster or an outside body shop. The fact that the body shop charged you less in the end should not change the amount of the check from the insurance. If the check is... View More
