What is your question? It sounds like your best course of action would be to address this issue with your university. Perhaps to the head academic advisor or to a dean of students. Many universities also have departments and deans specific to international students.
My kids was evicted from a hotel. Came to the room once then police showed up 10 minutes later they charged me $200 for inconvenience. There was no warning or altercation they didn’t even ask them to leave just be quiet.

Unlikely. Did you pay by credit card? You could try disputing the charge with your credit card company.
I opened a bank account and was going to have my boyfriend added as a joint account.

Sounds like you are on the right path. You'll need to settle this through the divorce process.
Hi, before my divorce (divorced for 2 years), I have cosigned a car loan for my ex-spouse (both of our names are on the title). As part of the divorce agreement, I agreed to let him keep things as is because his credit is not good enough for him to refinance the truck on his own. He supposed to... View More

What does the judgment of divorce say about possession of the car? As to the bank - regardless of what the judgment says - they are going to hold you equally responsible for the balance.
She found out that it was a lie. They had nickle AND lead, and some have reported the lead is toxic.

This sounds like a breach-of-contract claim. The devil is in the details, and there are more details than I can list in this format. Who would be the defendant? Is there a written warranty by the seller regarding the merchandise? Where is the defendant? Is there jurisdiction here in Michigan?... View More

Without more, it's likely the bank will restore to you whatever funds you lost. Depending on what exactly happened, or how much you lost, you could look into pursuing things further.
Staylisted did not do anything to justify their charges. Thay are not willing to give me a copy of the verbal over the phone agreement or a list of their promised services.

You need to look over your agreement carefully. You might find a clause that says you must either first submit to arbitration and jurisdiction for any suit is in Arizona. That would likely make it cost prohibitive for you to sue for such a relatively small dollar amount unfortunately. You may want... View More

Sounds like you want to terminate the agreement and get your deposit back, which given the delay, I can certainly appreciate. You would need to speak to a consumer rights attorney. Whether you have the resources to proceed depends greatly on the numbers involved. I would certainly start with... View More

The credit card company sent debt to collections. Collections is suing me. The income I receive ends in 30 days. Then only $1700 in Social Security. Advice?

You could consult with a bankruptcy attorney; they may say you are "judgment proof" and explain to you what that means for your future.

Yes, quite likely, but against your friend. Your first priority should be to determine who actually owns the car - whose name is on the title? Because if it's the person who the husband co-signed for, that person could claim the car stolen. OR, the bank or whomever made the original loan could... View More

Without a more specific question and subject matter it's really hard to say, but possibly and possibly not.

Reads as though there is more going on than just the repair person taking photos inside your house. It is possible there is an invasion of privacy issue here, but it might depend on what was photographed and/or whether or not the contract says anything about photographs.

You can certainly check with the court to see what's been submitted. Otherwise, your answer could simply be "settled by agreement on such-and such a date".

Sounds like it. The "settled" verbiage they are requesting actually protects them in a way; it acknowledges that you haven't paid the full amount owed, so they can properly tax you on the difference by sending you a 1099, which will effectively be income to you. Back in the day,... View More
