I'd like to know what is required to win a case like this. Is the only way to win is to prove both parties are guilty? Or can the case reveal that just one of them is, and they're 100% responsible? The other party would be off the hook. But I would still win the case. Is this how they... View More

A Connecticut attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could depend on the type of matter, the role of the parties, their actions, their relationship, and other possible factors. A law firm would probably want to know more about the setting to advise... View More

If the fraudulent mortgage was created sometime after July 2009 then the statute may not have run yet. Find out fast.
Another way to get around the statute is to alleged exactly what you said here: That you did not know about the fraud until recently; in most states fraud statutes do not... View More
I got scammed for concert tickets. I sent the money through Zelle. My bank launched an investigation and it took them 2 weeks to find the person who did it. They told me they have the persons name but cannot give it to me without a subpoena. I tried to go to small claims but they said to even get... View More

I am below my 78% auto termination percent and there telling me I have to pay for 3 more year
answered on Jul 12, 2017
How did you determine that you are below 78%? Based on the original appraised value of the home? If not, then that may be why. Also sometimes there are conditions which state another event must occur before PMI will be released. Look to your mortgage documents for that. Sometimes you just need to... View More
