You may have to sue them for the final payment. Or try hiring a very experienced Florida lawyer to send them a strong warning letter first. Usually works if the lawyer is good.
Hi, I won an appeal on a default judgement case for my motion to set aside the default judgement, which was denied in the lower court. The appellate court remanded the case to the lower court for an evidentiary hearing. Recently the plaintiff has scheduled a hearing on my original motion to set... Read more »
If it was remanded for an evidentiary hearing, it appears that the plaintiff properly scheduled a hearing. Be prepared at the hearing to offer evidence, as the appellate court ruled.
A new library was built in a new location to replace the old one. Just curious to see what could happen to the old library since it has a reverter clause.
You ask if it would be void "based on this law", without saying which law you are referring to. Did you leave something out, or did you mean to ask if there is any law that would void it out? I suggest you re-phrase.
Both my brand new Inspiron and my really old hand-me-down HP have been exchanged at the CPU part, the base. I know there is an FBI investigation, now they can't find anything so they're setting me up to fail because I found accidentally SEC stuff relative to assets (A Huge Number of... Read more »
IMO, you should have learned better before this happened. So learn it now: Seeking attention in the manner you have recently done sets off many alarms in many places you have never heard of.
The next thing you need to learn is that competent successful Florida lawyers will probably not... Read more »
In exchange for me quitting my job and moving across country. He partially performed. Can I sue him under promissory estoppel/ breach of k?

I have a 30 day notice and I have more than half the amount needed to settle but my complex will not agree to a payment plan.
It's not clear what you are asking about, but no: both parties have to agree to all the terms in any stipulation.
I am the party (individual) initiating the action against another individual who operates a business. I have already submitted a statement of claim which was accepted and the process has moved forward. Now I need to submit a pleading and I'm pretty lost.
There are a mountain of various types of pleadings and a lawyer would need to know what you are trying to achieve or if you have been ordered by the court to submit a pleading, then the wording of the pleading. This site is not meant to teach someone how to proceed pro se with litigation. It is... Read more »

You didn't state what the bill was for, or who sent it, and nobody can read it online. If you think you need an attorney's advice, best to make an appointment with one.
I'm ready to break up, but he said he would pro ide support and he signed an agreement we wrote up.
There are various legal issues arising in this situation, which is quite common. First, your agreement may or may not be enforceable, depending on the language and circumstances. To be enforceable, there would have to be "consideration", which means BOTH sides must receive some kind of... Read more »
I do not understand this question. However, the parties in a lease must abide by the lease terms and there are few exceptions to that rule. Please contact me to discuss further.
Hello, I was trying to seek legal aid in Jacksonville, but having moved recently to Tampa I’ve been told by JALA (Jax area legal aid) that I needed a referral from my county... but my security deposit is being withheld.

It seems that landlords always try to pull some shenanigans with the security deposit at the end of a tenancy. In Florida, the applicable statute is 83.49. An important thing to note is that pursuant to the statute the certified notice of intention must be sent to you within 30 days. The statute... Read more »
It is a trust, my estranged sister is trustee. I have worked at 3 different places. This year. I can't hold job
This forum is for questions of a general nature. Your question "what to do" solicits advice regarding your particular situation.

You probably violate no laws in conducting transactions where you are a party. But representing someone else will definitely be tricky and sometimes illegal. But you are directly asking for trouble. You need a competent attorney to conduct title searches, determine or record sources of... Read more »
In Florida, are there any real-world cases (not only in theory) that a contract was considered non-binding because of a minor deviation in a company name? For example, the articles of incorporation says ABC, Inc. but some of the contracts say ABC Incorporated. Was there ever a time when there was a... Read more »
The issue is whether, at the outset, there was a meeting of the minds on who the parties are and the material terms of agreement. If you have that, minor technicalities such as you mention likely would be deemed to be irrelevant.
I doubt it but it all depends on the language of the contract. Without reading the contract, I cannot give you an opinion.
We are a small software company in Florida.

Yes if you comply with the requirements of Section 865.09 of the Florida Statutes first.
My child was made to sign a contract in school, with the threat of disciplinary action, if it wasn't signed. We as parents, were not informed of this, prior to signing.
In general, a "contract" signed by a minor is not enforceable. So it probably doesn't matter. What did the "contract" provide?
I signed for a new construction home, now that is almost finished they did a different kitchen, as explained by the seller, the ceiling is low than the offered by the seller, and principal bathroom was offered with two sinks and they put only one.
Not enough information but enough to see you need an attorney to review the contract and the events leading up to entering into the contract. Based on that review it should be able to be determined if you have a chance to get damages, or if you already purchased it, have you waived rights to sue... Read more »
It depends on several factors. Have you paid your car loan in full and are you in possession of the car?
