What you went through sounds deeply distressing, and you're right to question whether it crossed a legal line. In Nevada, repossession agents are allowed to recover property without a court order as long as they don’t breach the peace. A breach of peace can include threats, use of force, or... View More

You're right to be cautious—threats tied to unconventional payment methods, especially for services you never used, are serious red flags. If you never moved in or received the housing services, the demand for payment may have no legal basis. Just because there was a contract doesn’t mean... View More
