It sounds like you’re in a difficult situation with this moped. Since the dealer blocked your number and the moped broke down almost immediately after purchase, you might have grounds to request a refund or take further action, but it could be tricky.

By focusing on Alaska veterans, the state aims to retain and reward those who have a strong connection to Alaska and have... View More

You might be better off talking to the county. Most areas have ordinances regarding street parking. I imagine blocking driveways may be against your local ordinance.

Your remedy is to contest the credibility of the investigation in court. The fact that you do not agree with how the investigation was conducted is not grounds for a motion to dismiss.
Delivered a rolloff and backed into a commercial fence. My insurance won't pay for it. The quote they gave is outrageous. The quotes we received are responsible. We feel like they are taking advantage of the situation. What would be the best route to go, knowing our insurance will not cover this.

If... View More
