I believe the statute of limitations will have expired on this issue.

They can always try, but unless they got a judgment and then renewed it, it is likely beyond the statute of limitations of usually 4-5 years.

This happens quite often, unfortunately. You can give them a notice for them to act immediately warning them you will hire another company if they do not. If they still do not work to complete the project, you can hire another company and keep all the records. You also have right to ask them to pay... Read more »
I have never been asked to show I.d. To buy a lottery ticket. The legal age to buy one here in Florida is 18. I’m 31 years old.

No, as far as I know, one cannot sue for discrimination on the basis of "stature", even if you could prove that your being short was the reason for the discrimination. It appears that the reason they asked for proof of identity may have been that you looked like you were under-age. In... Read more »
They offer two payment methods online; pay by credit card or pay with bank account. Both options charge a convenience fee. They do not offer any other way to pay the dues. My understanding is that the convenience fee is only charged as a convenience alternative to a standard method of payment.
answered on Nov 3, 2022
If you mail a check they have to accept it. They cannot legally refuse any form of legal tender. The problem you might face is proving they received the payment. They cannot require only online payment but if they provide for online payment they can charge a convenience fee.
Do I go after the owners?
answered on Oct 27, 2022
Nope. You don't have a judgment against the owners. Your judgment is (sorry to say because thus is how I make money) not worth the paper upon which it is printed.
The owner of an auto repair shop I just won a $6000 small claims suit against want me to get a lawyer to arrange the payment. Can she make me do that? Do I have to do that? Do I have to get a lawyer? Do I have to take her to court again?

Can she make me do that? No. Do I have to do that? No. Do I have to get a lawyer? No.
Do I have to take her to court again? Only if she fails to pay the judgment, in which case you may execute on the judgment by garnishing the business's bank account (basically, you can... Read more »

You probably can't sue the owner, assuming the company is a limited liability company (LLC) or corporation; that's what limited liability is all about. While there are possible scenarios under which you might be able to "pierce the corporate veil". it's not likely that you... Read more »

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...

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.

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.
