Your landlord cannot unilaterally change your lease or impose new terms on you without your consent. If your lease is for a set term you are no longer bound by the agreement to live at the mobile home when that term is up. However you also mentioned that you have a rent to own agreement in place....

I decided to go shopping for some clothes and wanted to try on a few items before purchasing them. Only a few fit me so I didn't take the ones that I didn't want.

No, because there was no physical harm done. You should, however, report her to management. That's absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Dealer never repossessed vehicle, even after I returned the keys and provided the adress to the vehicle. Car shows clean title on vehicle reports but I never received it. They never took me to court over it, nor is it on any of my credit reports. I want to sell the vehicle but don't know what... View More

This isn't really a personal injury question so take my answer pessimistically. In my opinion you should return the car to the dealership as you've forfeited your ownership of it in exchange for release of either your auto loan or lease obligation. At the very least you need to contact... View More

You cane sue anyone you want. Whether or not you win is the real question. That said, an employer may be held liable for the actions of their employee.

Handling a Medicaid spend down is no joke and very few lawyers practice in the area due to its complexity. You should not attempt to do this on your own without legal guidance as that could result in penalties. Consult with an elder law attorney in your area that handles Medicaid issues.
I Received a summons and it said failure to appear may result in a judgement against you, but it doesn't say you must appear can that result in a warrant being issued for me can a default judgement include a warrant for my arrest it's just credit card debt..?
answered on Jul 19, 2017
You do not get a warrant for failure to appear for the initial hearing. As the summons stated, it may result in what is called a default judgment against you which is where the other side gets everything they ask for automatically because you were not there at the appointed time. If you were to... View More
I bought a used truck from a dealership about 6 months ago. I got a flat and when I went to get it fixed they put air in it and it was setting my tire pressure sensor off since it only had 50 psi and needed 80 psi. Come to find out the tires they put on my truck we're not the right class for... View More

If they had the wrong tires that would be what you can make your claim on, and the cost of replacing the sensor.

Be suspicious and skeptical. You cannot be arrested for not paying a debt unless you are in contempt of court. You also cannot be 'locked out of your bank account' unless they have attached it during a court proceeding. This sounds like a scam but a lot of debt collectors utilize high... View More

I gave $580 which was half on car plus parts needed for a repair. Was to pay remainder $450 5 days later when repairs were done. Seller won't return calls or texts. Seller sold same car to another person which they didn't get car either. Can I press charges?
answered on Apr 9, 2017
Most definitely. Since the amount is rather low, you should most likely file in a Small Claims court where the limit for recovery is $6,000. Go to your local courthouse, visit the Small Claims clerk desk and ask for the proper form. The filing fee will probably be $125 or so but it varies from... View More

The mortgage (to be enforceable) needs to be recorded with the land records in the county where the land is located. Go look it up there if you can't find your mother's copy.
There ARE some mortgages that are 'non-assumable' and that should be spelled out in the... View More

I am surprised he was able to get police to assist him in taking his car back. He "can" do that, because obviously he "did" do that, but your husband can sue him for the value of parts and labor he put into the job.
My car's battery died and I had to leave it in a parking lot of a business. The towing company now wants me to pay $200. Can they charge whatever they want or are there guidelines they have to go by? Thanks.

It sounds like you may be a defendant in a small claim, upon which a judgment may have been entered, and for which proceedings supplemental to execution are pending. Long story short: yes, you need to go to court. Moreover, get an attorney to help you with this, as you apparently have a judgment... View More
The affidavit of debt states that I made a payment on 2/20/2016 but I did not. Is this cause for the case being dropped?
answered on Sep 23, 2016
Probably not, but it can certainly affect the outcome if the date is relevant and material. NOW, if the debt collector is fraudulently representing to the court that a payment was made in order to get around the statute of limitations, that is very significant!
