Bought computer from pawn shop due to 16GB RAM. After taking home and going through laptop, RAM is only 8GB. Is this false advertisement?

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over a week. It could be, if it was advertised as such. But it could also be an innocent error (negligent misrepresentation) if the shop believed it to be such from what the original owner told them. Good luck
I bought a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium from a car lot in Ardmore, Ok, on June 6, 2023. A week later, the check engine light came on and I had to take it to the shop. It broke down again a couple of times, with the engine needing to be replaced, leaving me without a vehicle for three months. The... View More

The Lemon Law only applies to new motor vehicles during the warranty period or for one year from the date of the sale of the vehicle to its first end user.
Used cars with 116,051 are commonly sold as-is, although some dealers may offer after-market extended warranties to used car buyers.

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney about your matter, the short answer is that it depends on the legal theory. You are asking about statutes of limitations, deadlines for filing a legal action. In... View More

A Texas or Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry for your wife's ordeal. Carriers do deny claims on the basis of differing medical opinions. Only a local attorney could advise on the validity of the carrier's denial under... View More
So I leased a car that my sister co-signed on. I fell a few payments behind while in between jobs so she had made about 4 months of payments on it. Come November I had finally got started at my new job and had planned to resume payments within two weeks, but she showed up to my house demanding that... View More

Yes. As she was only a cosigner and not an owner she had no rights of possession or sale (subject to anything that may have been included in the signed documents).
it was later stolen from me by gunpoint by the title loan person kin ,is what they did to get vehicle legal?
answered on Nov 1, 2023
Ownership of a motor vehicle is determined by whose name is on the title.
In a title loan, the lender is given the title to the vehicle until the loan is paid.
The borrower cannot sell the vehicle because the borrower does not have the title and therefore cannot transfer title to... View More

They said they will be looking into legal action if I continue to be late even though I always pay before I'm due again.

Yes it's possible. Your contract requires you to pay on time. Quit playing around and pay on time.
Last activity on account was 6/23/18. Petition filed 5/12/23 but not served until 8/7/23

The date filed typically, however, if it is proven the person actively avoided being served that could potentially extend the time.

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to predict what they would do. Don't take it upon yourself to pay what you feel you can. That could lead to a default or other complications. Instead, consider one of these options. You... View More
I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other relevant laws have been violated.

Your veteran status has no bearing on anything. A motion to dismiss is inappropriate as a response to a motion for judgment. If you did not answer the allegations of the complaint, the plaintiff obtained a default. If you did, your answer may not have raised, in the eyes of the plaintiff, any... View More

If SOL expired before wage garnishment was issued is it legal to take my money?

The statute of limitation to collect on a judgment is much longer than 5 years. The 5 year SOL applies to bringing the lawsuit. You have no statute of limitation defense.
I am curious if it is legal for ok. Stores to refuse cash on ordered goods when you pick them up when the business has nothing posted?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
In Oklahoma businesses can take any legal form of payment they desire. If they do not take cash, there are reasons they chose not to, such as a fear of theft, counterfeiting, germs transferred through money, etc... Posting is not required. Your recourse is to not accept the item and go... View More

Possibly, if they have a cross collateral clause in your loan agreement with them on the separate loan. Most banks have cross collateral clauses in loan agreements that make it so all the collateral (the vehicle) securing one loan secures any other loans. If your loan has a cross collateral...

It appears you have a few issues that must be addressed. One is whether a crime was committed - which if so the police could enter the vehicle as stolen in the national database. Another is whether you had a valid contract with the purchaser. Third, is whether an actual sale of the vehicle... View More
