One would need to thoroughly examine the terms of the contract of sale in order to establish your rights as well as your obligations as it relates to the transaction.
I have a UCC lien and lien enforcement called and threatened to come to my residence. There was a limited personal guarantee that states they would be allowed in terms of a default to review the assets. The company has been making this threat every two months or so but it is now weekly. They left a... Read more »

It's difficult to address this in an online forum. Many facts are missing. It smells like scam to me. "UCC Liens and Enforcement" is supposedly the name of the collector? Have they sent you anything in writing at all? If not, another red flag of scam, including the threatening phone... Read more »

Did the auction company advertise this sale to you personally, or otherwise reach into North Carolina to attract North Carolina bidders? if not, you should look for an Oklahoma licensed attorney with automobile fraud experience to have a consultation with.

You will probably get more responses if you post this in a contract or business category - this is not a criminal case as it is categorized.
They told me I have to make a down payment to get a car and have car insurance beforehand. I was reading up thats possible to get your money back if you write a letter outlying the codes they violated.
answered on Nov 6, 2022
I'm not sure where you read this, but requiring a down payment on a lease and proof of full coverage insurance is not illegal. Any right of recission would exist immediately after you signed the contract, and only for a limited time. You are asking if you can sign a long term contract, pay on... Read more »

A contractor charged an additional $8000 to replace his mistake. I believe such a miscommunication is not my fault, but would be willing to agree to a compromise at 1/2, but not pay the entirety since he did such a poor job with replacement. Its going to cost me an additional $8k to fix his poor... Read more »

Landlord is in Texas

The simplest method is contacting your landlord and asking them to release you.
If that doesn't work, contact a lawyer and have them review your lease and situation and see what options are available.

It is a yearly lease.

Without reading your lease specifically I can not answer your question, it is not within the 30-day window but given that your lease actually expires there may be an exception in the lease.
Removed effective immediately. Handbook states non refundable. But she is refusing services so shouldn’t I be entitled to refund of tuition paid?
answered on Jan 21, 2022
Without seeing the entire contract, I could not speculate on the legality of the non-refundable clause. It will also depend on whether or not the dance studio is alleging that you breached one of their terms. I would advise sitting down with a local attorney and seeing what they think of the case...

You did agree to pay for the entire term, but if they cannot provide the service you contracted for, they breache your contract. I am assuming you signed up for an automatic bank draft or automatic credit card payment. Depending upon how much you are paying, you may decide to just let it roll... Read more »
We have already payed the full amount for the house but we have no contract saying it is our property. The seller claims that their lawyer will take until march for any documents to be signed because the buyer has no social security number but does have an ITN number.

Real estate is required to be purchased through a written document (no oral contract). If a lawyer is involved in this transaction they should know that. Also, if you paid the full amount for the house then all that should be needed for you to have proof that you own the property is the quit claim... Read more »

Without seeing the recorded documents, I couldn't give any opinion as to what could happen. But I suspect that they cannot void the contract, and your husband can refinance. My advice is to have a local real estate attorney look at the documents and give you a formal opinion.
