Your current state is Virginia
It's a collection agency who is taking me to court tomorrow via a zoom call. I've not been able to pay on it due to everything going up in price and I live on a very low income and am behind on my water bill and several other bills. I was behind on rent until just recently, over a year... Read more »
Your inability to pay does not stop the entry of judgment. If there is already a judgment and you are up on a post judgment citation or garnishment, you should read and be aware of the exemption provisions of the post judgment code of civil procedure. Specifically, 735 ILCS5/2-1402 states at (b)(1)... Read more »

It was considered there fault abs a lot of stress as it is taking extra long to complete because mgmt is failed to progress as well. It’s been 7 months abs still not complete- only a 2 month job.
Investigators are generally able to identify those things, but in the absence of injuries, building/property policies could sometimes offer higher policy limits than vehicle policies carrying minimum statutory limits. Good luck

No, the people do not know what they are talking about. What they may be trying to reference is "Adverse Possession", you can look this up, but this is not applicable to your circumstances because you have just been a renter, paying rent. If you have a lease or rental agreement, you... Read more »
Recently, I had family photos taken by a photographer. Prior to the on site shoot the photographer and I discussed, through text message, watermarks on the photos as well as the use of the photos. He stated the final product would not have the watermark and we could use the photos at our... Read more »
You have a contract, I hope, which is written. The terms of payment are or should be stated, as well as what you are paying for exactly and what the photographer is to provide for that payment. Without reviewing the terms of the contract, it is impossible to advise you. As a general matter,... Read more »
Am I legally allowed a refund of services even though it’s past their “5 day refund” timeline for full refund? I did sign their contract and whatnot but at this point, it’s services not received for money spent. Am I entitled to a refund?
I've seen this before can't remember exactly when/where but, almost all legit gym contracts have a clause in them about moving out of the area. The question is how they define out of the area and how you define it. So take a look at your contract for your answer!!
There was a lien filed against my survivorship interest in my Tenancy By The Entirety held home (with my spouse) over a judgment against only me. If we sell our home, does the survivorship interest lien go away since no one “died”, or does it have to be paid to clear the title even though it... Read more »
No and the grantee takes the real property subject to the lien.. Most buyers will not purchase such a title.
I was told the limitations is ten yrs and he should not have been arrested he was arrested 2 wks ago in Evangeline parish for a warrenton worthless checks
First thing you need to do is hire a criminal defense attorney in your area as an attorney would be in the best position to assist you in this matter and to help you get the best result possible.

I purchased a device that claimed FDA approval and it is not. I based the purchase on being told it was FDA approved.
A Hawaii attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. Hawaii consumer laws aside, which only a local attorney could advise about, the most practical approach could be to request refund through the company's customer service department. If there's more to the... Read more »
Fake account and I know who did it. I also feel this guy is scouting minors for trafficking I have emailed them over a dozen times n reported his account with no luck since 12/31/21. Not sure what else to do??
I'm not sure how TikTok would be liable to you. Most social media companies, in that finely printed terms and conditions no one reads when they sign up for an account, say basically "we're just a platform and not responsible for the content users upload".

I have reached out to the lender to repay the loan in full, in exact accordance with the judgement/court order. However, the lender is not accepting payment. They are just not responding. Is there a point where the debt can be cancelled due to not accepting payment in full or refusing to comply... Read more »
Debts just do not get magically canceled. If it is appropriate and cost-effective you should simply file for bankruptcy, but that cannot be determined here. The creditor is under no obligation to take payments, but will almost certainly serve you with an information subpoena. You can have a secure... Read more »
There is not a policy on my gift certificate or on website that says this. Is this legal? They have my money already.
Plenty of possibilities including that it IS in there somewhere?
That said, in that business, they often get no shows. The credit
card is their security against this, as they normally charge for
last minute cancels. Life may be easier to just give them the
number,... Read more »

It is never OK for the police to lie. But you are not clear about what the lie is? If the police told you that this is a civil matter and the DA won't file on it, I agree with them.
Your beef is with the nephew. You can sue him in small claims court.
Selling used clothes is legal.
Please delete this question and post mre details. What law are you talking about and what facts are you asking about? You have not given us anything to base an answer on.
I have noted in writing and in person that I will not and cannot use this warranty, I dont keep my car for longer than 2-3 years and will never use it. The extended warranty would extend the basic warranty from 3 to 5 years. I never have a car that long and have asked for it to be removed. Is this... Read more »
I would absolutely refuse the demand and contact the Attorney General's Consumer Fraud division for immediate assistance!

Repair service came out and agreed there was a problem. Supposedly they order a part. Nothing has been done as of January 17, 2022. Can we demand a refund?
Likely depends on the purchase agreement, company policy, as well as the status of the part that was ordered. Demanding a refund and getting a refund are two different things, and being custom furniture, your question requires a much deeper than typical contract analysis to get a closer answer....

I was looking for options I can have to change my minor. But during the advising meeting I was denied to ask questions and they said they do not care what I choose.

What is your question? It sounds like your best course of action would be to address this issue with your university. Perhaps to the head academic advisor or to a dean of students. Many universities also have departments and deans specific to international students.
If motion to continue Has been filed by both parties but has not been approved by judge before a court date and the Plaintiff’s attorney does not show will the case be dismissed?
Not enough information has been provided. What is set in court in which both parties have filed continuances? Trial? A pre-trial motion? or what? Are you represented? If the request for continuance has not been denied, then in all likelihood it will be granted on or before the court date. I... Read more »
