Not sure by what you mean: "caught in the law in Indonesia" or who you may be referring to as "the team."

The court, once the buyer presents their case, after they meet their burden of proof.
This collection agency has been doing this to me over and over. I'm on disability and can't afford this and I can't handle the stress.

If all you have is disability benefits, then the collection agency or law firm cannot take your money. If you explain that you are on... View More

Hi Richard,
Sorry to hear an ex-employee robbed you. Did you check your insurance policy of you are covered for employee dishonesty? Some policies have automatic coverage like $5K-$15K.How were the monies taken, by ACH/wire/check?
The insurance adjuster came out and wrote the damages. I just received a check, minus a $1000. deductible. How do I go about, legally, getting reimbursed for my $1000. deductible from my neighbor?
I've had the bike for 11 years and finally went to the DMV to see if I still had a lean on it... I did not have a lien and was issued a duplicate title.. can I sell it?

The property has always been in my name only & predates the marriage. My ex never lived there; her name was never on any of the paperwork. The divorce final judgment was 10/31/95. Our agreement clearly indicated the property was mine & she has no claim to it.

Is that legal?

I am not a mechanic but I suspect these two items may be related and suspect it is possible that they were unaware of the O2 sensor problem before the very expensive Catalytic converter was replaced.
