If the automobile is titled in your name only you have a legal right to go get it, unless you were supposed to transfer it to him in the divorce.

This is not enough information to accurately respond. But in general, it would depend on a number of factors, such as whether this is an "as is" deal, whether there is a mortgage contingency and whether that expired, etc. Also, are there conditions in the home which the seller was... Read more »

It is 15-days notice whether you are deemed a commercial or residential tenant. If it is for non-payment (does not sound like it) then under commercial leases there is a 3-day notice requirement. At this point, they will have to follow formal eviction procedures to actually evict you. Therefore, I... Read more »
I mailed my right of recession letter in June. I called and spoke to the company after they took my car and they said the letter isn’t valid. The letter was indeed valid and now they refuse to give me my remedies, and downpayment because they took my car back.

A right of rescission is generally limited to door-to-door sales and refinancing of mortgages, not cars. Dealerships are not going to let you drive their cars for three days, put mileage on the vehicle and then take it back. Unless there was a clause in your contract giving you this right, any...

Yes, if you obtain a judgment against them, you would also be awarded your costs, which normally include your filing fee and what you pay for service of process.

The only avenue open to you, with any chance of success is small claims court. If you prevail to judgment, you are entitled to costs. Make certain that you sue the correct legal entity. Many clerks have information and forms on their websites. You can find the Florida Small Claims Rules online.
I paid an ac co. $6000 for a system and install. They installed everything excepts ducts then refused saying there were spiders in crawlspace. They said they would take everything, keeping $1000 for their time. I told them I now owned the equipment and not to take it unless I got a full refund.... Read more »

If you sue them for the $1,000 they are trying to keep, replevin would not make any sense, you would not be out they money you paid them. You might want to talk to an attorney to see if any "other damages" would be practical.

Start by calling the police for your locality. They should be interested in investigating your matter. Also, the Fla. Attorney General's Office's Fraud Hotline 1-866-966-7226 possibly could be interested. I think this issue can be solved through law enforcement, but if you must end up... Read more »

If you convey facts that are 100% truthful, your statements do not constitute unlawful defamation. However, you are correct that "anyone can sue anyone". Are you prepared to spend many thousands of dollars to defend yourself (with an attorney)? All the other party has to do is to file... Read more »

You cannot legally sign a contract for someone else unless that person has executed a power of attorney giving you the power to do so. But was your signature an inked signature of your name, a digital (typed) signature of your name, or a digital signature of the other person's name? If it is... Read more »

Yes. IMO, you should be happy you are a member of the credit union. Most financial institutions are harsher than credit unions: state and federal banks just close your accounts and do not let you do any more business with them, ever.
And would not fill it for me, i had to go back to doctor and spend more money for visit and get my prescriptions moved to another location. Do i have any type od case too pursue?

Believe it or not, pharmacists can refuse to fill prescriptions. If you had a written prescription you should have been able to go to another pharmacy without getting a new prescription from the doctor.
In Feb 2018 a contractor replaced our whole roof from a hurricane damage.

You are going to need someone to fix the leak now. While you are at it, ask that person to tell you if it was the same pipe that the previous contractor damaged and then repaired, and also if the previous repair was done incorrectly and thus caused the present problem. If so, and if you decide to... Read more »

I reported car to DMV as not on roads not drivable. No insurance either. Parked for a year at least trying to get title to yunk it. How can I if I fall behind on payments due to hardship and lender already reported as a tax loss but title at DMV still shows with lien on it?
answered on Jun 3, 2022
You can only release the lien by paying the amount you owe. The fact that the bank has claimed a loss is of no consequence. Perhaps, if you ask, you can make a deal with the bank by which the bank would release the lien in return for your promise to pay them whatever you make by junking the car,... Read more »

It depends on whether you signed a new contract accepting the different vehicle. If you did not, the dealer breached your contract, in which case you of course would have a legal remedy.
