Does someone need to be notified of their right to file a claim & what the deadlines are before statues can begin?

answered on May 21, 2022
A Texas attorney should advise here, since statutes of limitations are governed by state law. But your question remains open for two weeks. In virtually all jurisdictions, statutes of limitations usually use the day of the accident as a reference point. A local attorney could provide specific... Read more »

You can --through a lawyer--seek a temporary restraining order in District Court in your county. It is temporary--and I mean temporary. Don't expect more that 30 days till something will have to happen.
Go see a Bankruptcy Lawyer about a Chapter 13. That usually is the best way to... Read more »

You would need to look at the lease to see what it says about ownership. However, you generally do not own property after a lease, even if you ended up paying way more than the price of the item.

They don't have a right to touch you. You need to get a lawyer and get the camera, I am sure they are going to say you hit them first or used force, That is how a simple shoplifting turned into a robbery,

This is a contract law question. The issue is whether or not the posted price is an "offer." I believe it is, however, I would need to see the exact language of the posting to better advise you. Plus, Real Estate laws require a RE contract to be signed before the parties a bound.

It's extremely important for you to file an answer in a case like this, so they do not get a default judgment against you. For this amount of money, it's probably not cost-effective to hire an attorney, but if it was for a larger amount, definitely seek counsel.
And to... Read more »

First, I recommend that everyone Always keep their own records of payments made, either by making the payments in a way that generates a record (like a check) or by keeping a copy of the payments made. That way you are never in the position of having to look for a receipt.

If your identity was used to file a liability claim and theres an account for compensation in your name, how do you get the claim file for law enforcement when the company is refusing to cooperate?

answered on Nov 22, 2021
You shouldn't have to get the claim file yourself. In fact, you probably should not get it yourself. What you do is report the theft of your identity to your local law enforcement agency, giving them all the facts which you are aware of. It is law enforcement's job to follow up on your...

answered on Nov 21, 2021
I think you should re-submit your question and add some facts. You need to specify how much money was returned. It's not unusual for seized money to be returned to the person from whom it was taken, especially if the amount is relatively small. The larger the amount seized, the less likely the... Read more »
They dont care what card you use, they only go cheaper if it’s cash. Where do I go to dispute these charges. It’s not fair to the consumer that they pass their charges onto me when making payment. I dont want to carry 500-1000 dollars to avoid paying 3%

answered on Nov 2, 2021
Yes, unfortuantely it is legal in Texas and almost all states. The company does have to post a notice of what they are charging you and the bill should show the charge separately, They can charge up to 3.99%. If you are a very good customer or making a large purchase, ask the store owner or manager... Read more »

Two wrong letters won't make it right. Send a new letter giving 60 days, unless doing so will cause the statute of limitation to run, in which case, you do not need to give notice.
