It sounds like you are dealing with a difficult situation where the tire company is not following the agreed terms and is acting inappropriately by attempting to withdraw money daily. Here's how you can approach this issue:
First, it’s important to review any paperwork or agreements... View More

In Mississippi, a clear agreement—like the one you made through text messages—can form a legally binding contract if there was an offer, acceptance,... View More

That’s a tough and frustrating position to be in, especially when someone takes your property without paying and then disappears. Since there was no written agreement and you still have the title, legally, the car is still yours. Possession without ownership doesn’t give him the right to keep... View More

The short answer is that breach of contract can be grounds for terminating a contract and pursuing damages in any general setting. However, from a practical standpoint, it's possible that a complex contract... View More
I completed a sale contract as a buyer with my realtor to buy a home from the seller who had a broker. In the contract I request both my sister and I to be on the warranty deed.

The Deed of Trust has nothing to do with the Title. Somebody thinks your Sister is either a tenant in common, an occupant or a notemaker. So they required her signature also on the TD. If wrong, you should not have executed the transfer.
Insurance is paid in monthly storage fees. Even though, they are aware of the pests they hold no responsibility in damages

Generally, liability for pest damage would be outlined in your rental agreement. If insurance is part of the storage fee, check the policy's terms to see if it covers this type of damage. If the storage facility knew about the pest problem and failed to address it, they might bear some... View More

Not necessarily. The only thing that the officer would need to establish would be that he had a reason to suspect that you violated a traffic law. That being said, the search of your vehicle could be challenged, because there is a particular process that the officer would need to follow in order to... View More
I bonded a friend out of jail and paid the bonds person $1000. Not even 12 hours later they picked him back up and said he wasnt ever supposed to be bonded out because he had a hold with the department of corrections. Can I get my $1000 back? Who regulates bond companies?
answered on Mar 11, 2020
Unless you can convince the bond guy to return your money you are out of luck. Why? Because they will say that they did their job--kept your friend out of stir--and are entitled to keep the bond you paid. Lesson learned: Don't bond out any more friends.
