You should immediately dispute the issue with the bank (and preferably in writing). You'll likely also want to complete a police report to give to the bank to verify the identity theft and respond accordingly if the bank asks for any follow up information from you. Keep track of everything on... View More

Unless the store knew that the kit had been used and contained "spores", it was the victim of an unscrupulous return. Perhaps, a strict products liability theory gets you past that hurdle. You then have to prove that your breathing issue was caused by the "spores". Testing on... View More

Sorry that you were treated this way, there are many unscrupulous auto repair shops and some of them are dealerships, however, there are also honest mechanics. You should ABSOLUTELY file against the shop in Small Claims. Check the business license with the city to see who the real owner is and sue... View More

When your case is worth $2million, there are lots of contingency lawyers for you, but when your case is worth less than $2000 there are usually none. This is because many Attorneys charge more than $500 per hour and your case will take several hours to resolve. But, there is hope for you, it is... View More

Look at your Handbook and see what Carrington's policies are on accessing the testing instruments. Sometimes colleges won't let students access exams if they re-use them year to year, in case a student puts them on the internet. However, you should be able to go review the exam and your...

I think you have been defrauded. I suggest two things. File suit immediately in small claims court. The case is too small to justify hiring a lawyer, even though for you it was a large sum of money. The other step to take immediately is to file a complaint with the state department of justice -... View More

I'm sorry you have been having so much hard luck.

Giving the car back does not get you off the hook. Whether the car is returned or repossessed, the lender will auction it, and you can be sued for any loan balance that remains after the sales money is paid to the lender.

It is... View More

This is a very complex question and depends on the individual facts. The IEP process is the place to address school services, in home education (for a homebound student), related services etc. from the public school district. If they won't qualify him, you can challenge that by asking for an... View More

I'm sorry about your son's accident and ordeal. I hope everyone is okay. It's your decision, but there's something to be said for handling this through your insurance carrier... how do you know the other driver won't come back in 10 months with an injury lawsuit? An... View More

As far as the bank is concerned, they simply followed your son's instructions. If he got scammed, it's not the bank's fault. You don't get to have the bank pay you back.

Worthy of consideration is that your son caused damage to the other car, and the other is owned by... View More

Sorry for your issues. Hope you are feeling better. Hopefully your HOME insurance had not lapsed too? First, the time to bring such a claim has almost assredly expired long ago. Typically, FOUR years with a writing and TWO years without one, is how long you have to sue. Assuming you COULD still... View More

Q: I had solar installed two years ago and it is not producing as it should. The company has filed chapter 11. Any recourse

They still advertise instalation .and will not respond. My electric bill is now high.

First, it is rare that ONE company does this all. Usually there are... View More

I'm really sorry for you. Unfortunately, the time to be vigilant is before you hire a contractor. As you now know, everything you now know about him could have been discovered by you before you hired him.

I'm sure you already know that deadbeats don't pay their bills.... View More

It sounds illegal. You can sue the dealer in small claims court and you can make a complaint to the California DMV: The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) licenses and regulates new and used motor vehicle dealers. If you would like to report a problem or dispute you have with a motor vehicle... View More

It sounds like you have a claim. Take pictures of your injuries as they heal and scar (if they do), follow up with dermatology appointments. If an accupuncturist's office performed the cupping, you should make a complaint with the Accunpuncturist Board... View More

Hopefully the 2nd check has not yet cleared and you can stop payment. If it has cleared ask the payee to refund it immediately.

Unless the contractor got your written approval to increase the amount after you accepted the original bid, you should be able to recover the difference.... View More

A key factor would be if the employee who sent the email had the authority of the company to make binding decisions. If the employee held an executive title, such as Vice President of Sales, it is more likely than not that they had the authority to bind the company. Assuming the employee did have... View More

Your position sounds logical, but I do see some flaws in your argument. You say this happened 2 years earlier, right? So, are you saying that for the last 2 years, you never looked at your insurance bills, and never noticed that your rates and coverage had changed? I find that hard to believe, if... View More

I suggest you talk to your own insurance agent to find out if you making a claim will affect your rates. This is probably the kind of incident covered under your 'comprehensive' coverage which may cover things on a no-fault basis. Like, if her parked car was vandalized.

My colleague has outlined a number of positive measures that demonstrate good faith on your part. I would add something that is not raised in your post. Are you insured? If you are insured in your operations (it looks like you run a food business??), you should consider placing your insurance... View More
