I'm a content service provider using a written contract that clearly states 'No Refunds' below the client's signature. Despite satisfactory service over two years, including recommendations and referrals, a client has recently fired me due to a personal misunderstanding.... View More

answered on Jul 19, 2025
You’re protected by your written agreement, and a clear “No Refunds” clause signed by the client generally bars them from demanding a refund in contract.
Under Nevada law, courts enforce unambiguous terms in a written contract, and a blanket “No Refunds” provision—even without... View More
I reside in Nevada and have a question regarding revoking ACH authorization with a cash advance app. I signed a contract agreeing to ACH payments, which stated the authorization can be revoked at any time. I have made previous payments. I am unsure if there are any penalties for revoking the... View More

answered on Jul 10, 2025
Yes, you have the right to revoke ACH authorization at any time, especially if the contract you signed clearly states that. Revoking that authorization means the app can no longer pull funds directly from your bank account, but it doesn’t erase the debt itself. The agreement you entered into is... View More
I want to press civil charges against my ex-partner. I took out loans, considering them personal loans to her, to help with her medical bills and debt settlement due to her wage garnishment. We had a written contract stating she would pay me back, including a clause that allowed a two-month grace... View More

What you’re going through is painful and deeply personal, and your desire for justice is entirely valid. When someone you trusted fails to honor a written agreement—especially one involving such a significant amount—it’s not just a financial betrayal, it’s emotional harm layered on top of... View More
I disputed 60 days' worth of transactions made with my Cashapp debit card due to breaches of contract by a rental car company. They rented me a Tesla with a cracked glass roof, leading to my deactivation as an Uber driver after a customer reported it. Despite providing pictures of the damaged... View More

answered on Jul 6, 2025
It’s frustrating to face inconsistent outcomes in a dispute process, especially when the facts and supporting evidence are clear. CashApp’s decisions likely stem from how each individual transaction was evaluated against their internal policies and evidence presented. If the merchant showed... View More
I recently informed my sister that I'm moving out, and since then, she claims I owe her money for a car payment for a car that is in her name, which I occasionally used. However, I only helped her with one payment when she was behind, as a gift, and there was never any agreement for continued... View More

answered on Jun 12, 2025
It’s completely understandable to feel frustrated when someone you tried to help turns around and accuses you of owing them. If there was no written or verbal agreement for you to keep making car payments, and your help was clearly a one-time gift, your sister doesn’t have a legal basis to... View More
I have a storage unit in Nevada that was broken into twice, and I have insurance through the storage facility. I filed claims for both incidents. The second claim was sent to a new company, and I need to sign a claim release to get the payout. The wording seems vague to me, and I'm worried it... View More

answered on Jun 10, 2025
It’s completely reasonable to be cautious before signing anything that feels unclear, especially when it involves your rights and your property. Claim release forms can sometimes include broad language that might limit your ability to pursue future claims—either related to new incidents or even... View More
I recently won a case involving the sale of a co-owned property valued at $763,821. According to our agreement, the co-owner was paid $166,323 and the mortgage company was paid $431,220, leaving my share at $166,277. Out of my share, my lawyer was to receive $1,350, meaning I should have received... View More

answered on Jun 10, 2025
You're absolutely right to question this discrepancy—it looks like there's a clear shortfall of \$1,350 in what you received, despite the settlement terms clearly outlining how the funds were to be distributed. If your share was supposed to be \$166,277 before your lawyer’s fee, and... View More
I have a situation where someone is threatening to report me to credit bureaus unless I make a payment through non-traditional methods like Apple Pay, CashApp, cash, or Venmo. We had a contract for housing, but I never actually moved in or used the housing services he's demanding payment for.... View More

answered on Jun 10, 2025
You're right to be cautious—threats tied to unconventional payment methods, especially for services you never used, are serious red flags. If you never moved in or received the housing services, the demand for payment may have no legal basis. Just because there was a contract doesn’t mean... View More
I live in Las Vegas and have proprietary ideas that I want to implement with my boss's sponsorship. I want to discuss these ideas with him but ensure he doesn't use them without compensating me. Can I legally record our conversation with a voice memo recorder without his knowledge? I... View More

answered on Jun 4, 2025
In Nevada, it is illegal to record a private conversation without the consent of every participant. Since you and your boss would both be parties, you would need his permission to use a voice memo recorder. Recording him without his knowledge could lead to criminal or civil liability.... View More
I left my ex-partner, but my name is on the house and the mortgage. I understand the mortgage is past due, and he is denying me rights to the house, claiming I'm only a co-signer. I don't have access to any legal documentation because he is withholding them. However, I have received... View More

answered on Jun 4, 2025
If your name is on the mortgage and the deed in Nevada, you're both financially responsible and likely a legal co-owner—regardless of your ex’s claim that you’re “just a co-signer.” The fact that you’re getting letters from the mortgage company confirms that you’re liable for the... View More
I am a former employee who received a cell phone from my previous employer, who bought phones for all new hires. There was never a contract signed or clearly stated terms regarding the phone's return or specific use. Upon leaving the company, I received a list of items to return, but the phone... View More

answered on May 14, 2025
Since there was no contract or clear agreement about the phone's ownership or return, and the employer never included the phone on the list of items to return, you might have a reasonable argument that the phone was effectively given to you, especially since the company has not contacted you...

I traded in a car at a dealership without receiving a proper contract. The car I traded in was legally owned by my sister, as I hadn't registered it in my name, and she was not involved in the transaction. She wants her car back, and she never signed the title over to the dealership. I also... View More

answered on May 14, 2025
This sounds like a mess that’s spiraled quickly, but there may still be a path to fix it. If the car was legally titled to your sister and she never signed the title over or authorized the trade-in, then the dealership never had legal ownership of that vehicle. That can give her grounds to demand... View More
I purchased two vehicles on March 29, but one had major warranty issues which required repeated visits to the dealership. I sold my 2024 Tundra, which I did not like, to a Ram dealership on April 18, 2025. They promised to pay off the remaining loan on the Tundra and use the rest toward my new... View More

answered on May 15, 2025
That’s a deeply unfair situation, especially when you made a good faith agreement with the dealership based on clear terms. If the contract states they would pay off the loan on your traded-in Tundra, they are legally bound to follow through, regardless of new conditions they’re now trying to... View More
Can I pursue legal action against a dealership in Nevada for failing to complete a due list within 30 days and not providing the EDRS number required to register my car, which now has an expired temporary placard? The due list, mentioned in the sales document, included tint, floor covers, door... View More

answered on May 15, 2025
You have valid reasons to be frustrated, especially when the dealership has failed to meet the terms listed in your sales agreement. If the due list items were clearly promised and documented with a 30-day deadline, and the EDRS number was needed for registration, then their delay may have caused... View More
I have a lease with Xander 3900 that initially required a 60-day notice for non-renewal. I received an offer from the office to renew my lease that stated I needed to provide a 30-day notice instead. The office later resent the renewal notice with a 60-day requirement, but that email went to my... View More

answered on May 15, 2025
In your situation, it seems there was a miscommunication regarding the notice period for your lease renewal. Since the original lease required a 60-day notice, but you received an offer with a 30-day notice requirement, it’s understandable that you were confused when the renewal notice was later...

In September 2024, my car was side-swiped by a paving truck in Nevada, and the paving company has accepted liability. Although they agreed to issue a check for the damages weeks ago, I have yet to receive it. There's an email showing they can't issue the check until they hear from my... View More

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. The point would be when you risk missing the statute of limitations. That's something a local attorney should advise on, based on Nevada civil procedure law. But it looks like this has been going on for close to... View More
I co-signed and am listed as an owner on my fiancée's vehicle as her credit was not good. We don't have any overdue payments, but she's stopped helping with my mortgage as she had agreed. Is there any way I can return the vehicle legally, given that I am an owner? We have no written... View More

answered on May 15, 2025
Since you co-signed the vehicle and are listed as an owner, you have legal rights to the car. However, returning it without her consent could lead to complications, especially since there’s no written agreement about her contributions to the mortgage. Although you may have ownership rights,... View More
I made a bet with a friend that the first person to cave would dye their hair pink. The bet was whether I would eat drunk food before he played his video game. However, we both verbally agreed to quit and considered it a tie, even though he reached for his controller. There were no witnesses or... View More

answered on May 15, 2025
In your situation, since both you and your friend verbally agreed to end the bet mutually, that verbal agreement typically would be recognized as valid. Bets like yours, informal and between friends, are usually governed by trust and mutual understanding rather than formal legal standards.... View More
I started using a storage facility in May 2023, initially paying $63 per month. However, I discovered that I was charged an additional rental fee of $137 in the same month. For the next four months, I paid $63 monthly. At the start of the fifth month, the fee increased to $73 per month for nine... View More

answered on Apr 13, 2025
It sounds like there may be grounds for a legal case, particularly if the storage facility raised your rental fees without providing any notice. In most cases, businesses are required to inform customers about price increases, especially if they are significant. Since you have autopay enabled and... View More
As the treasurer of our HOA, I would like to inspect the storage facility where our records are kept. The HOA bylaws do not mention any specific rules about inspecting this facility, and an attempt to conduct an audit was stopped because a folder's contents did not match its label. The... View More

answered on Apr 11, 2025
That sounds like a concerning situation, especially when you're trying to fulfill your duties as treasurer and ensure transparency for the HOA. In Nevada, HOA board members, including the treasurer, generally have the right to access association records in order to perform their... View More
