Hire an attorney to find the contractor, and then you can bring suit. Under the NJ Consumer Fraud law, you are likely entitled to treble damages and attorney fees.
Good luck.

In most states either person named on the title has the ability to sell it or to do anything else with the car. If you pay it off the bank will give you a new title, which you can use any way you want.

It could be handled as a property damage claim against the bus company. Or it could possibly be handled as a first-party claim through your own carrier, depending on your policy. However, if it is a minor matter (you describe it as a scratch), it's possible it might not pass the threshold for... View More

Sounds like you've got a collections matter on your hands, with claims for breach of contract, and also copyright infringement. In most cases, a legal demand letter does the trick. If it doesn't you either have to let it go, or file a lawsuit (either in small claims or civil court). I... View More

You should go to Court, but an attorney is not going to be willing to handle your cases, since it would not be cost effective. If you are really in such bad financial shape, why would you ever loan money to anyone?
Because I was issued a judgement for the cash value, does that mean I can request the title of my car and it's now my property, but am legally obliged to repay that amount ?
The way I see it is a court of law agreed that I owe the money and ordered me to pay, but does that then also... View More

This is not the type of transaction that you should engage in long distance. If she does chose to sue you, it would be in NC. A signed contract is not essential to this matter. Threatening to sue someone is easy, actually doing it successfully is not.
my car has been sitting outside parked for over a month since the motor has been dead. I was wondering is the charge is due to the fact that is parked on a public road? or can I argue the fact that I haven't touch or moved the vehicle since a month?
answered on Jul 26, 2018
Any car that is on a public road must be registered and insured. You were actually lucky that the cop did not write you a ticket for abandoned motor vehicle because if the vehicle is not able to be moved and has been sitting on the street for a month that would have been also a proper ticket to...

He died without distributing anything . since he remarried what can I do because new wife is not doing anything. No will but a house, land, cars safety deposit box and saving account worth more 50,000.00 what can I do since she refused to do anything

You start by seeking a consultation with an experienced estate planning lawyer because if your mother died without a will he could not legally appoint himself an administrator of the estate this must be done by the court.

I would not complain about the parking ticket because the year old marijuana was still good enough to give you a criminal charge.
I have proof of his prescriptions and him denying it in text message. But prosecutor said they can't order a blood test. I feel like I've lost.
So how do I tell him for the future is a felony and you have to reveal it.

You can talk to him, call him, email him or write him by regular mail and/or certified mail return receipt request.

Its not easy as everyone has the right to go to the police and whether charges get filed are up to the police, judge and court personnel to find probable cause.

Without more facts it is impossible to know or provide a meaningful answer.
What are the exact forms and wording to use ? I never received letter prior to this ? I’ve also been given subpoena. Last payment made to target National Bank was 7/2009 & judgement was placed against me on 1/2015.

Yes bothe parties to an accident are required to report that accident to the police. Thus in general the last party to report it will generally gets a charge but technically both could.

You have already given away any chance you might have had to defend so I would not advise talking with the private detective. You should retain a lawyer immediately to possibly avoid prosecution. Good luck.

There will be a presumption that the money was a gift, but it will be your word against hers. I do not know what your existing relationship is with your daughter, but taking a family member to Court to sue for a debt can cost more than it is worth in both emotional stress and legal fees.

Yes, but you probably would not get much and may cost more in legal fees. Maybe it would be better to report this to ebay and send them pictures of it including the box it came in.
