Hello. I’m from Houston, TX and I just bought a car in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While I was spending the night in a motel, my brand new car was damaged by the hotels shuttle bus driver.
The damage was underneath the driver's side rear bumper and I didn’t notice it until later on.... View More

You should the hotel for the name of its insurance company. You can then contact the insurer and make a claim.
Greetings,
I have a embarrassing question really. I dont have luck with women and am looking to buy an adult love doll, but I cannot afford a full size one. I have found a smaller one, 3ft 3in that I could manage for price. I just want to make sure I wont be breaking any laws for ordering... View More

You raise an interesting question--wether such a doll could be considered kiddie porn. If so possessing it would be unlawful. Maybe talk to a counselor on what your issues are--realistically, most guys want the sizzle without the effort to make themselves attractive, or they expect someone way... View More
They said they will tell us the main points and sign the paperwork right away and you can read the rest later after already signing the paperwork. They also said if anyone makes an ordeal over it they will take stuff away like the use of headphones and that.

You might possible have a case as this company seems to have forced you to sign under duress, but this may not be an especially strong case. It is important to understand that under normal conditions when you record your signature on the contract, you will be bound to the terms of the contract. It... View More
Internet provider says they may not be out until next week. I have business class internet. They keep saying they will try to get someone out right away but they never do. I keep calling every 2 hrs.

The short answer is yes. The provider has breached its contract with your business and, as a result, your business is losing money. That is actionable in court.
Dodge has no ETA on when the part will be delivered. Isn't there some kind of law requiring a newer car to have parts available? Is Dodge at fault for not providing the parts I need to get my car repaired?

Contact Dodge HQ --this is truly bizarre. The Center for Auto Safely could answer your question.
The owner didn't disclose that the vehicle has an illegal exhaust system with no catalytic converter. Can the owner be forced to buy the car back or fix it?

Your rights in Wisconsin against the seller of a used car depend on whether you bought from a dealer or a private party, what affirmative representations were made about the car, and the terms of the agreement you entered. There're too few things known about your purchase circumstances to be... View More
Wausau auto is now demanding I return the car. The DMV says Wausau auto has to find me other financing but Wausau auto claims I lied about my income. None of my paperwork shows an income amount but they claim to have a document stating that I get $3000 a month.
What can I do?

They do have to find you financing; or service the loan at the terms offered. Locate a consumer lawyer for advice if they don't offer this to you - or worse yet, offer you worse terms from some other financing place. We call that "yo-yo" financing.
Last August 2016 we saw discrepancies in our payments being applied. We asked for documentation of payments applied. They lied and on multiple occasions told they were sent to us. We stopped paying, then later they added atty and late fees resulting in large fees being added. Meanwhile they lied... View More

These situations are very fact specific. I would recommend filing a complaint with the Attorney Generals office, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Otherwise, you will need to hire a lawyer ASAP to fight off the foreclosure.
They state the FCRA requires them to do so. I have been in good standing and this is a one time occurance.

I am not aware of a law that makes such an action illegal - but most companies have a policy of not doing so.
I had a vehicle illegally repossessed in the state of WI. I have since moved but I contacted the Department of Financial Institutions in WI about the matter and the finance company responded saying they would remove the negative information from my credit. They have since failed to follow up with... View More

Whether the repossession was illegal and what remedies are available to you depend greatly on your particular circumstances. You probably need to get legal consultation with a Wisconsin licensed consumer attorney familiar with the repossession law to properly advise you of your legal options. If it... View More
We did not agree to have him committed and I told the officer my insurance does not cover mental health, but they took him anyway, now we have $4500 in bills for a two day stay. We did not sign any permission slips of any kind.

It's an emergency hospitalization and most insurance would cover that even if labeled mental health. If it doesn't it may violate the ACA. Make sure hospital submits. If son is diabled due to MH he may be eligible for Medical Assistance.
