I believe this is a negotiation issue, not a legal one. I am not aware of any law that says that a car dealership can't require that. It is a free market, it is their dealership, they can generally state that they "require" you to buy a whole lot of things in order to buy a car from... Read more »
And your question would be can the store legally do that? Probably, but what you mean by "personal demographics" is unclear. If I were a customer at that store, I would probably not buy that item if your name was scribbled all over it.
Hello, my husband and I live in Florida and a company supposedly bought this debt from Home Depot and is now trying to garnish my husband's wages. My husband is the only source of income that we currently have, I am pregnant and lost my job due to Covid. We won't be able to afford our... Read more »
If they are trying to garnish your husband's wages, it appears that they have a judgment against him. If that is the case, you might want to send them proof of your financial difficulties; if you do so they might not apply for a writ of garnishment at this time.
No. "Truth in Lending" is a well-used financial phrase used to remind people that the government requires lenders to disclose all the interest, fees and other costs related to each lending transaction.
However, it does not apply to every kind of lender there is out there; for... Read more »
We signed a contract for a pool in August 2020, it took months for the permit and they started digging 6 months ago. They have only worked 6-7 actual days on it. Tiling was supposed to be done 2 weeks ago and the contractor stopped responding to us a week ago. Can we sue him to finish? or can we... Read more »
Yes, you can do both. A signed quote is an enforceable contract if it is signed by them.
At closing we were not told about the retention pond and the private road. There was a abutting road disclosure. Nothing else. There was a line about you must join the HOA and follow the CCR. The CCR’s were not given prior to closing. Hidden in there was a line about the HOA being responsible for... Read more »
This is why it is so important to have your own real estate lawyer represent you in a transaction. You will now need one to review your closing documents, the HOA documents, your survey of your property and the neighborhood plat, which often attached to the HOA documents but not always. The HOA...

Pay it or hire an attorney and defend it.

Unethical? No. There is no right to settle an account, although it is better practice to at least have told you that the creditor rejected your offer. It doesn't sound like you made much of an attempt to keep in touch, either. Collection lawyers work many accounts.
mother and I rented in florida. Before I was able to move in, my mother passed away and when I did move in with my two teenage children, he refused to pay utility bills he had accrued. I asked him to move out. He finally did and left a bunch of stuff here because he had no way to transport it... Read more »
This has nothing to do with criminal law.
legally binding. When I did not receive a copy, I requested through the sender to provide the cert. They were unable to and couldn't find it. When I contacted Docusign to receive a copy, they informed me the contract was voided and that there was never a cert to provide. Even though I signed,... Read more »
It the other party to the contract (the "sender", as I understand you) says that they don't have it, get that in writing. If they later find it, with your signature, get a copy of that. I'm not sure how Docusign can decide the contract is "voided", if they are not a party to the contract.
I received a phone call today from a law firm stating I was being sued by a bank for a debt from 2003. The law firm had my social security number, previously used last name, current address and phone number and advised that they'd been contacting me since March, and that collections had... Read more »

To me, it's not so much whether your friend may be able to sue or not because he most likely can; rather, it's whether it would be worth it to sue. This depends on how much money was lent as it might cost more to hire an attorney and go to court than what he'd be getting back. Even... Read more »
There was no contract
Your friend may sue for repayment of the loan, with the option for first having an attorney send a demand letter. If the verbal terms of agreement were that the loan should be re-paid within a time period that was a year or less, the verbal agreement is enforceable.
Power and $127 in a loan. The company said the solar system I use will absorb most of my energy use but I am now told through the power company it is not large enough to sustain my needs. They also didn't use a years worth of energy consumption of my residence since I haven't lived a year... Read more »
It seems like there is a breach of contract. You should discuss with an attorney about the terms of the contract and make your demand as a starter.
Since they can’t complete the order, aren’t they obligated to make the refund of the deposit?
If they cannot perform the contract, they need to pay or refund the partial amount sufficient for you to hire other person to finish the job.
You can review the invoices and ask administration office for explanation.
I need a consultation regarding my landlord that I've been renting a room for about 2 months. I've been unable to stay this entire month because she filed false allegations against me that caused an injunction. I've read that filing false allegations are criminal and I intend to sue... Read more »
I am certain that there are many experienced lawyers who will litigate a small claims case against your obnoxious landlord; however, not for free. Why?
(1) Because the amount of money involved is way too small; and
(2) because they cannot collect their fees from the landlord;... Read more »
I am very sorry for your loss on the passing of your wife, please accept my sympathy and condolences for you and your family at this difficult time. If you did not cosign on those accounts and they were in your wife's name alone (as you have stated), then you are not responsible for those... Read more »
If the transaction is complete in 2-3 days due to “process”. If they file to sue on day 2 would I have to pay their court fees and time spent even though they are aware the issue will be resolved in a few days?
Huh? You don't have any idea how credit cards work, do you? In a month or so, you will receive a statement. The charge that was reversed will show on that statement, along with the credit. If you fail to pay AFTER receiving the statement, eventually you might be sued, but it won't... Read more »
I bought a home with an old roof in May 2021. I had only one option for HOI as a result. The company was provided a copy of the 4 point inspection and agreed to issue the policy. I was buying the property with the intention of doing some renovations in the next year or two, but didn't have the... Read more »
What are they saying is the reason they are cancelling; did you give them false information of any sort?
