You can file a complaint with your local police, with Oregon's Attorney General Consumer Fraud Division (can file online), and with the FBI who has a task force specifically aimed at this sort of fraud. All that said, the odds are extremely remote that any of them will actually do anything... Read more »
I paid in almost twice my debt and they didn’t settle any of my debt. Payments over $200 month for 3 years. I called the company numerous times and they kept “disconnecting” me so I’d have to call back again and again. I finally called their bank and asked them to send me, in the mail, all... Read more »

Most likely yes but you will have to sue the debt relief company.

Probably not. Look, insurance is a business. It is probably not worth their while to fully investigate what might have happened, especially when clearly, the insurance company is paying a claim anyway, just to save a few bucks.
It is pre-arranged; insurance companies are most collision... Read more »
I purchased a used motorcycle with cash from a dealership who claimed they were selling it on consignment. They gave me a title that had signatures already on it (as if it wasn't ever transfered last time it was sold) and the keys. I figured as long as i have the title im good but When I went...

Yep. You got scammed. I suggest you tell the dealership that they have 24 hours to refund your money or else you will file a complaint against their dealership license with the State of California. In addition to filing the complaint, you can also file against the dealer in the local small claims... Read more »

Yes, you do. Sellers do have a right to cure any defect but only if their efforts are reasonable and don't amount to tinkering. New Jersey provides several remedies for unfair commercial transactions. These can be found in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, The Consumer Fraud Act,... Read more »

In Feb 2018 a contractor replaced our whole roof from a hurricane damage. In the course of the repair one of the workers sawing thru the roof damaged a water pipe that was in the space beneath the roof when we had the whole house re-piped so years earlier. The contractor fixed it (unsure of method)... Read more »

You are going to need someone to fix the leak now. While you are at it, ask that person to tell you if it was the same pipe that the previous contractor damaged and then repaired, and also if the previous repair was done incorrectly and thus caused the present problem. If so, and if you decide to... Read more »
The counsel who filed the complaint, is different from the counsel seeking to enforce the judgment. The plaintiff has been out of business for years, and the counsel has many complaints by defendants, for fraudulently claiming proper service to said defendants. I am unsure what recourse I have...

1. Different counsel? Not relevant. Happens all the time.
2. Plaintiff out of business? Irrelevant, if lawyer represents Plaintiff. Winding up corporation is collecting debts.
3. Recourse? Make motion in court that entered judgment to vacate on improper service.

A company called me 18 times, even though I’m on the national do not call registry, and have been since 2016 (I have proof of both, and the telemarketer recorded a voicemail every time).
Since I don’t have an existing relationship with the company, I understand each call allows me to... Read more »

I think you're right that you can sue them. I would try consulting a consumer rights attorney before trying it on my own. And I would plan to go ahead and sue in the general civil division (district court), not small claims. In small claims, neither party can have an attorney, and a business... Read more »

This sounds like a scam. Debt collections send you written notices. They rarely call. Also if you only have ssi, you may be judgment proof as debt collectors cannot touch ssi.

We live out of state and spend summer in Michigan. Called lawn service to cut grass in Mich. Agreed on price . No written contract. Find that they cut grass high so it needs it every week. Only able to afford service every other week. They disagree.

Regardless of the type of agreement you have, the most important information you could have is... you probably have a contract, and binding. But, what the terms of the agreement are, you'll probably need to hire an attorney and litigate it to ever know for certain.
I am curious if it is legal for ok. Stores to refuse cash on ordered goods when you pick them up when the business has nothing posted?

In Oklahoma businesses can take any legal form of payment they desire.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to answer this question in a public forum like this because a detailed analysis of your financial situation - income, expenses, assets, and debts - will be required.

Generally speaking, probably not, considering that it would seem that you know that the person is underage. That being said, if the person is definitely old enough, then it sounds like it may be an issue that that particular person may need to clarify to have their age corrected on their ID to...

I paid a down payment on some windows in November 2021. I canceled the order because the company kept changing the installment date.

In this situation, the window provider is in breach of contract for failing to fulfil their terms of the agreement. Your best bet is going to be to either hire a lawyer in Mississippi or perhaps Arkansas to sue the provider for breach of contract.
