the insurance will not reinstate our insurance and the bank says they cant help. What recourse do we have?
answered on Aug 18, 2022
Assuming the Bank failed to pay Insurance from the escrow, suing for negligence, breach of contract, etc. is not a good option as foreclosure will result. You must find insurance immediately as foreclosure is imminent. A refinance might get that Bank out of your hair, but insurance and taxes must... Read more »

Talk to the bank; this is not a legal matter. It is strictly a financial decision by the bank.
I was added to the account in 2017. In 2019, a 3rd party was added but I did not sign to add them.

Depends on the bank's policies, if you are uncomfortable with this, you can withdraw all the money from the account and move it elsewhere. I would talk to the bank about this and see what they say happened.

Why on earth do you think that your bank--that had nothing to do with your decision to get scammed--should have to indemnify you for your loss? Can you imagine what would happen if EVERYONE who gets scammed by some thief over the Internet could just asak their bank for the money? Where would the... Read more »

I went to a hotel, to get a room that costs $60 per night. The hotel has a policy that there is only 15 minutes within paying to either change rooms, or ask for a refund, and makes people sign a paper stating this, and does not let people look at the rooms first before deciding to pay. In my case,... Read more »

Wow. It's too bad you did not anticipate any problem when this (very cheap) hotel made you sign an agreement not to complain about their cheap rooms unless you do it immediately. In any event, there is nothing you can do to force your bank to give you the $60 that the hotel kept. Why not... Read more »

Which state does the “usuary” law (s) apply? The resident’s state or the lending company ‘s state?
answered on May 6, 2019
Penalties for usury are applicable in the resident's state. However, if the loan is usurious in the lenders state it may apply to you as well. Hire a lawyer to research it.
Sold my loan, the new company is still affiliated with the old one, they stated that I have to start the process over, which will cause me to lose my buyer.

This would be an easy problem to solve if it did not involve two separate states. If the bank levy was filed in the state of North Carolina you should hire a NC lawyer to help you. If the action was filed in Ohio, you need an Ohio lawyer. Do not try to defend against this levy without a lawyer.
