Since the claims were baseless, nothing happened of course and everything was dismissed. Yet my otherwise perfect, immaculate, spotless record for my entire... View More

I apologize, I don't know what notice you were entitled to without reaching the law and knowing exactly what happened. Why didn't you receive notice from your friend who was letting you park there? Why was it deemed abandoned?

I live in a different county from someone who has obtained and distributed my picture, dob, dl #, social, and other PII. I need to know how to have a demand letter like a cease and desist served IMMEDIATELY.
Is it necessary to have this done by an attorney or can I do it myself?
Please help!
answered on Mar 15, 2024
By "a cease and desist", presumably you mean a demand letter, as opposed to some sort of a court order. Send, by certified mail, return receipt required, a letter demanding that the conduct be stopped immediately.
