I have no assets that can be taken and no money.Im not working and applied for SS disability as it will be my only income when received Im 59 y old.How can I get the lowest possible agreement with the bank.I do not want to file bankruptcy.
Once the bank hands the account to the lawyer/law firm, you should deal with the law firm. Call them and tell them you want to negotiate a payment plan. You will have to offer them an amount that makes sense in relation to the debt. $25 a month on a $5,000 debt is silly, as an example. (If they... Read more »
I sent two trailers out of state to a trailer dealer who is going to sell them on consignment and sent the signed titles. He had promised he was going to pay me and has not. I don’t know if he sold them but he was supposed to pay me nonetheless for the trailers at delivery and he did not. There... Read more »
This does not appear to be a criminal case…it is a civil law issue in contracts…you should immediately communicate you desire not to sell these trailers to the consigned.
To pay the bills for towing and storage. They have threatened a lien on our drivers license. Are we legally obligated to pay?

After your car is repossessed, your lender must give you written notice that the car is repossessed. The car can then be sold at a public auction or private sale. The lender must give you notice of the auction or private sale date. If they broke the law, they should cut you a deal to make you whole.
What are usual odds for this that Plaintiff drops case since it cant collect ever anyway?
They will not drop it in all likelihood as they know they can get the judgment if it is legitimate and then hound you and or hold it over you for the next 10-20 years unless you file for bankruptcy. Your best bet is to show up and try to fight them if you have any defenses or if they cannot prove... Read more »
Basically an infraction of a by-law or any doc; is there a time frame where it get's grandfathered in and a current Board cannot act on it.
It can be up to five years. It depends on if the HOA is filing suit for specific performance (a court order forcing you to comply) or breach of contract (money damages). It also depends on some other factors, but the board has five years from the date they knew or should have known (which can be... Read more »

I am not sure what your question is because you do not actually have one, but I can tell from the facts you need to hire a real estate litigator immediately. The facts are too many to rely on general advice from an online forum. No one should buy real estate in Florida without having an attorney... Read more »
Because of harassment, Insults, emotional damage etc from my rommate I decided to leave the premises by the end of july. We both and management agreed to a form that states that I will vacate the premises no later than July 31. It also says that I relinquish my rights to the deposit by signing. My... Read more »
Probably not. Your LEASE and any document you sign that modifies the lease controls, not what some clerk behind a desk tells you.
I need clarification, this site is called ask a lawyer, not ask google, what are you hiding or is that a part of the b.a.r (secret)?
Did you try google?
I hired a contractor for home improvement job, he is not responding and not finishing the job. He already got half the money. The contract says he has to finish everything by end of April 2021, and yet it's not done.
How can i get him to finish the job?
I would remind him of the contract he signed and the consequence if he breaches the contract. I would put everything in writing to show him that you are very serious.
I don’t remember signing my workers compensation contract after the day I got out of the hospital. I was completely drugged up because I got ran over by a garbage truck. So that means that one of the workers compensation employees had to come by to get me sign their documents. Can I get out of... Read more »
You could certainly try. To have a valid contract, you cannot have an impairment causing you to lack the required capacity to enter into a legally-binding contract. Basically, you must be mentally competent, and being drugged up could possibly cause you to temporarily lose the necessary mental... Read more »
I had an issue with a torque converter and was told by 2 different mechanics that I might as well get a whole rebuilt transmission. In a matter of 2 weeks, I had to take my car to the mechanics 4 times. First to replace my bad transmission with a rebuilt one, then to service it, the to replace it... Read more »
You need to find a couple of experienced mechanics to give you expert opinions as to there has been any foul play. Let them put their opinions in writing. After that, you can bring it to a commercial litigation attorney for a consultation as to whether it pays to sue them.
He informed us he isn’t registered in our country to get a permit. The pool was to be completed 6-8 weeks it’s now week 9. What can I do to push him forward?
See if you, rather than him, can apply for the permit. If your county/city requires the professional to apply for it, and he has no ability to apply, he should never have contracted with you to begin with. Discuss that issue with him and determine if you can reach some amicable resolution, such... Read more »

Very interesting, but not unexpected since it involves a used car dealer. But no lawyer here on Justia could possibly advise you without seeing copies of ALL the documents involved in the transaction. If you want real advice, look for a Florida lawyer using the "Find a Lawyer" tab at the... Read more »

You are correct that it's an arbitration clause, requiring legal disputes to be resolved in an arbitration proceeding rather than a court. Certain businesses like such clauses in their contracts in order to have disputes resolved in a less costly fashion and to prevent claims from being... Read more »

If you don't understand the arbitration verbiage in the contract, have an attorney explain it to you. It basically means that, if there is a dispute over the contract, you will have to arbitrate the dispute instead of filing a lawsuit. See:

I need to refi the partnership property but can't due to lien on the LLC still shown on county records as owner. My attorney says since I didn't record quut claim its not legal but everything I read says it is. Is it?
The execution (signing/notarizing) of a deed legally effectuates the transfer, and the recording of the deed is to put the world on notice of the transfer. When it comes to liens, the order of recording can determine the priority of the liens. Ask your attorney to fully explain to you, and or... Read more »
