My experience with prepaid cards is that you have to register the card before it becomes active. Based on the information in your question, it seems to me that you did not purchase the card.

I do not know how union arbitration awards are enforced. With a normal arbitration, the arbitration agreement or award says that the award can be confirmed as a judgment. In those cases, you would confirm the award as a judgment and enforce the judgment.

My girlfriend (and mother of our 3 children) have split. We can't agree on specifics of shared custody. We don't want to file a custody suit, just to go to mediation to see if we can work it out. Do I have to file a lawsuit to use family court mediation services in Alameda County?

You can always hire a private mediator or have a trusted friend do it. That may work out for your situation a little better.
I’m beginning to get so frustrated with my lawyer and I was hoping one of you can shed some light on what may be happening since this is my first lawsuit/settlement.
I was part of a major class action that I opted out of and sued on my own with my own attorney. After over a year, we... View More

You frustration is perfectly understandable. Your attorney may be frustrated also. Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens in cases all the time. You might want to discuss with your lawyer giving the opposing side a deadline to complete or otherwise there is no settlement.

In California arbitrations, all subpoenas need to be executed by the arbitrator(s).
Last October my son discovered that over 16,000 dollars were missing from his account. He promptly reported the missing funds to BofA and filed a police report. Bank of America has repeatedly denied his claim. What can he do to get his money back?

File a claim with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. His money is insured up to $250,000.
My issue issue is primarily a breach of contract dispute that touches on the issue of film copyrights. The contract requires binding arbitration.

The statute of limitations to bring a contract claim is the same as in New York, namely, four years. However, most contracts that provide for arbitration shorten such periods. In New York, the arbitrator rules on the statute of limitations but when interstate commerce is involved, the Courts may... View More

I don't see a question in here, however, unless you have an agreement not to compete you don't likely have a claim against a competitor business. If you have proof that the other business is lying in its advertising, you may have a false advertising/unfair business practices claim.
