The amount is $2,000.00. It is for agreed-on reimbursements for concrete work that was not performed. The check came back as 'fictitious' . The bank wouldn't give me anymore information. Do I take it to small claims court or somewhere else? I did send a demand letter 30 days ago with no success.

The question really is whether you can actually collect a Judgment from the guy and if so, is it cost effective to try. If not, suing and trying to forcibly collect is a waste of time and money. If worth it, small claims court hha

You must have a basis to sue your insurance company. You cannot sue your car company merely for asking for documentation to support a claim you are making. To answer this question, more context is needed. What is the underlying claim you are making that would entitle you to insurance coverage?... Read more »
Check was deposited to individuals account not a joint account and it was to be divided equally.
answered on Aug 24, 2022
They should require two signatures IF the check was made payable to one person and a second one. If it was just payable to the two names without the "and" included, then either could cash it with just their signature. Instead of "and", an "or" is legally implied.

If you didn't agree or want the settlement, you should have declined it, even firing your attorney if you believe it warranted. But now that you accepted it, you live with it. Own your actions - and regardless, the court is likely to require you to do exactly that.

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 »

This depends on if you created it as a company employee, or in your free time for yourself. It is sometimes hard to prove both of them. It all depends on jurisdiction. I would recommend you to contact local attorney to discuss this matter.
can this check be reissued into her daughter's name? It's for the BP / Arco class action 91$ & 94$
answered on Feb 25, 2022
I recommend that you contact the Payor of each check to ask if they will reissue the checks. It's possible they may want you to file a small estate affidavit if no probate was previously filed.
I was supposed to purchase a dog late September from this girl. She was not an experienced breeder and lied about multiple factors with this purchase. She wants to sue me because I haven’t had the money when she made me bring the dog home way sooner than I was ready for. We signed a paper saying... Read more »
answered on Nov 16, 2021
Apparently she is threatening to sue you for the money, so when you brought the dog home is totally irrelevant (and no, she did NOT "make" you bring it home early - you agreed to do so and need to take responsibility for your actions). Hopefully there is a writing specifying the sales... Read more »

There is no 72 hr cancellation privilege unless your sales contract provided one.

Is a check marked "paid in full", and negotiated still a valid "accord and satisfaction" in Oregon, in a disputed matter?
answered on Sep 7, 2021
If you are asking if you write "Paid in Full" on a check's memo line and submit it for less than the full amount of the bill, and it is cashed, are you off the hook for the balance of the bill, the answer is NO. If you have a written agreement specifying the creditor is settling for... Read more »

If you have a valid fixed term lease, they are stuck and cannot raise your tent until it expires unless there is an unusual clause in your lease allowing for it or unless you voluntarily agree to modify or replace the lease - and why would you?
Clackamas Housing Authority is my landlord. Check was for relocation which has already been completed at my expense.
answered on Aug 11, 2021
Not clear why your landlord was paying you relocation money in May if you are still there, nor the reason the check bounced - one would presume that it was not for insufficient funds if the landlord was the Clackamas Housing Authority. It sounds as if the Housing Authority, for whatever reason,... Read more »
