A Texas or Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry for your wife's ordeal. Carriers do deny claims on the basis of differing medical opinions. Only a local attorney could advise on the validity of the carrier's denial under... View More
it was later stolen from me by gunpoint by the title loan person kin ,is what they did to get vehicle legal?
answered on Nov 1, 2023
Ownership of a motor vehicle is determined by whose name is on the title.
In a title loan, the lender is given the title to the vehicle until the loan is paid.
The borrower cannot sell the vehicle because the borrower does not have the title and therefore cannot transfer title to... View More

If you've paid a tax preparer but haven't received copies of your tax returns and related documents, start by requesting these documents from the preparer. If they don't comply, contact the IRS and state tax authority to obtain copies of your filed returns. Report the issue to... View More

The date filed typically, however, if it is proven the person actively avoided being served that could potentially extend the time.

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to predict what they would do. Don't take it upon yourself to pay what you feel you can. That could lead to a default or other complications. Instead, consider one of these options. You... View More

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney on state-specific insurance and consumer law, one option could be to check with the state department of insurance.

Your veteran status has no bearing on anything. A motion to dismiss is inappropriate as a response to a motion for judgment. If you did not answer the allegations of the complaint, the plaintiff obtained a default. If you did, your answer may not have raised, in the eyes of the plaintiff, any... View More

So I leased a car that my sister co-signed on. I fell a few payments behind while in between jobs so she had made about 4 months of payments on it. Come November I had finally got started at my new job and had planned to resume payments within two weeks, but she showed up to my house demanding that... View More

Yes. As she was only a cosigner and not an owner she had no rights of possession or sale (subject to anything that may have been included in the signed documents).
They said they will be looking into legal action if I continue to be late even though I always pay before I'm due again.
answered on Sep 29, 2023
Yes it's possible. Your contract requires you to pay on time. Quit playing around and pay on time.
I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other relevant laws have been violated. The FCRA (15 USC 1681 section 602 a) establishes the need for consumer reporting agencies, such as Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax, to exercise their responsibilities with fairness,... View More

If SOL expired before wage garnishment was issued is it legal to take my money?
answered on Sep 28, 2022
The statute of limitation to collect on a judgment is much longer than 5 years. The 5 year SOL applies to bringing the lawsuit. You have no statute of limitation defense.
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?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
In Oklahoma businesses can take any legal form of payment they desire. If they do not take cash, there are reasons they chose not to, such as a fear of theft, counterfeiting, germs transferred through money, etc... Posting is not required. Your recourse is to not accept the item and go... View More

Possibly, if they have a cross collateral clause in your loan agreement with them on the separate loan. Most banks have cross collateral clauses in loan agreements that make it so all the collateral (the vehicle) securing one loan secures any other loans. If your loan has a cross collateral...

It appears you have a few issues that must be addressed. One is whether a crime was committed - which if so the police could enter the vehicle as stolen in the national database. Another is whether you had a valid contract with the purchaser. Third, is whether an actual sale of the vehicle... View More

A motion to vacate based on "evident partiality" is a very tough motion. You need something more than a generalized suspicion that the arbitrator, though he works in the same business as your opponent in the Arbitration, was "evident[ly] partial."
Further, assuming that... View More

You should have an attorney review the contract and other documents that you signed but generally contracts are binding upon the parties and they can't change the terms.

The hospital says they don't have any information about the bill. Can the law firm get an itemized statement from them without my consent?

I don't understand your question.
If the law firm represents you, then they can request a statement from the hospital with a signed medical release.
If a law firm is trying to collect payment on a hospital bill from you, the law firm can provide you a copy of that bill... View More
