It really depends on the circumstances; however, when it comes to the consideration of total property loss, the insurance company still has an obligation to keep their insured (you) in the loop. Assuming that they did not and that you have a lawyer representing you on any type of personal injury... View More

Generally speaking, probably not, considering that it would seem that you know that the person is underage. That being said, if the person is definitely old enough, then it sounds like it may be an issue that that particular person may need to clarify to have their age corrected on their ID to... View More

In this situation, the window provider is in breach of contract for failing to fulfil their terms of the agreement. Your best bet is going to be to either hire a lawyer in Mississippi or perhaps Arkansas to sue the provider for breach of contract.

Just because you are paying the Note does not make you a titled owner of land. Hire an attorney to search the Title and determine ownership.

From the looks of it, you have a civil suit against the contractor under several theories, with the obvious one being breach of contract. The main thing that you need to worry about is the statute of limitations, because, depending on some of the details, that statute could run (meaning that you... View More

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. At this point, you could reach out to attorneys who handle such cases, but keep in mind that such matters would not be likely to be handled on a contingency basis. Good luck

I bonded a friend out of jail and paid the bonds person $1000. Not even 12 hours later they picked him back up and said he wasnt ever supposed to be bonded out because he had a hold with the department of corrections. Can I get my $1000 back? Who regulates bond companies?
answered on Mar 11, 2020
Unless you can convince the bond guy to return your money you are out of luck. Why? Because they will say that they did their job--kept your friend out of stir--and are entitled to keep the bond you paid. Lesson learned: Don't bond out any more friends.

If you stop making the payments, they can take the collateral for the loan. This is true whether or not they make a claim as a creditor in probate.
Is it from the date of the last payment made on the account or does it start 180 days after the last payment made on the account
answered on Aug 7, 2019
The statute of limitations starts on the date of last activity on your account. This could be the date you last made payment, but it could also be the date you last used the account, made a promise to pay, entered a payment agreement, or acknowledged liability for the debt.
