When a bank writes off your car loan as bad debt, it means the bank has deemed the debt unlikely to be collected and has removed it from their books. However, this does not absolve you of your responsibility to pay the loan. You are still legally obligated to repay the debt, and the bank or a... View More

If you want to negotiate a new contract, be sure to carefully and clearly document that your... View More

Since you would be the person to have signed the power of attorney, you can review the documents you have signed to determine if any of them give your agent power of attorney over you (ie a durable medical power of attorney).

In Wisconsin, it is not inherently illegal to offer a land contract at zero percent interest. A land contract is a legitimate arrangement where the seller finances the sale of a property to the buyer.

It Depends. (typical lawyer answer) It depends on what the contract says about modifications, does it require all parties to sign in order to modify?

Will this hold up in court?
answered on May 19, 2023
It depends on information which is not contained in your question. You can take the contract with the non-compete to an employment lawyer in or near the county where you want to work.
The FTC has proposed a rule that will make non-competes invalid across the United States when it goes into... View More
They have closed their doors and are under "restructuring. " They are working to finish install and start taking draws on account. What should I be doing to make sure they don't change their name, take the money and leave without providing service for 20 years?
answered on Apr 5, 2023
Don't pay them anything until they finish the install, you verify that the system is working as represented, and they give reasonable assurances of performance by posting a performance bond ensuring that they will provide all necessary maintenance services for 20 years as agreement.

All monies paid to a contractor by an owner for improvements constitute a trust fund in the hands of the contractor. These monies can only be used for... View More

It sounds like you may have claims against the contractor - and defenses on the loan. It will be based (in part) on some additional facts and the contents of any written documents you signed. I suggest contacting a Wisconsin consumer lawyer for a free consultation to discuss your rights and options.

I am looking to break my lease in Wisconsin but my landlord is saying that my only option is to sublease and that I cannot break my lease
answered on Mar 31, 2020
A tenant may choose to break the lease. The landlord is then under a duty to mitigate damages - essentially to try to re-rent the unit. The tenant may then be held liable for the months in which no rent was collected from the tenant or the new tenant, the difference between the new tenant's... View More
