Performing a home improvement without a license is a criminal offense in Maryland, and the civil courts will not enforce the contract for the contractor. In other words, the contractor cannot legally accept payment, or sue you if you don’t pay, so no, you do not have to pay. I would immediately... View More

Contact Uber Eats and tell them what happened. You should ask for a refund. If they deny the refund, dispute the charge on your credit card.

A lawyer (debt collector) issued subpoenas to my boyfriend, my bank, and my multi-member LLC's registered agent, all of whom are outside of the state the judgment was recorded in. Is that considered informing third parties? Is it an FDCPA violation worth suing over?
answered on Oct 3, 2023
If the judgment was domesticated into the State in which the subpoenas were issued, it is proper.

A warranty is a contract. You will need to review the terms of the warranty. It will state the manufacturer's obligations to you including whether they have to provide a loaner.
I purchased a new 2021 Jetta in April 2021. In September 2022 during regular oil change the dealer told me the rear brakes were down to a 1 which was really odd for a brand new car with less than 15000 miles.
