The fees that a landlord is allowed to charge depends upon the terms of the lease.
I cannot 'deploy' the invention, of course, since I cannot issue credit cards. The idea is specific to how card fees are charged. How can I protect it.
I can't tell you that you can patent your invention. You can patent an invention that is patentable subject matter. It must be new, non-obvious and you must be the first to apply for a patent on the invention. You don't need a prototype so long as the invention is fully developed/designed.
The check is at my lawyers office.
Something is not right. You need to contact the bar and file a grievance. This is not how this works.

It sounds like you were scammed. Call the Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement office and the FBI. Your bank has nothing to do with this. They just sent a wire to a place you ordered. Am I missing something? The "company" you are dealing with likely does not really exist in a way a... Read more »
I made numerous threats of prosecuting him criminally he gave me partial payments for a few months . He stopped paying , can I prosecute after 2 years have past ?
Only the DA can prosecute anything. You can make a criminal complaint for the bounced checks, but it is very unlikely to be acted upon. You can sue in Supreme Court for damages, but that is really it.
I withdrew money from my 401k due to financial hardship, the institution in error sent to a closed/overdrawn account (I have proof this is their error). Can the bank legally take my money even though it was for hardship and they were previously notified of bankruptcy?
Possibly. It depends on the timing of how it came down.
Only one check went through for 500$
Yes, but if you cover the checks they will not. Who cares at that point.
Acorns withdrew $1,000 from my checking account. Said it was a "one-time investment", but i never withdrew anything manually or agreed to anything. I need an explanation for this. There's nowhere in the terms & conditions that state that this would happen. Is there any legal action that i can take... Read more »
I do not know what Acorns is. But you need to make a fraud complaint with the bank ASAP, and make a police report. You need to block this auto debit with the bank. Getting it back is problematic.
My coworker is paid off the books and gives me cash and I put it in the bank and PayPal it to him I don’t know if I’m in trouble and if so how much and what do I have to do to fix it
There are ways of dealing with this. The bank is not the IRS.
They keep charging me even after I replaced my card
Do a chargeback on the credit card.
Immigrants are not denied checking accounts. But you need a certain level of ID and a tax ID number to do so.

This is a common scam. It will not clear the bank, and she will be liable. DO NOT WITHDRAW ANY MONEY.
Using a promissory note with a zero or low interest rate. I'm thinking of banking laws and securities laws.
Yes, as long as the lending is to a known entity and not a solicited transaction. Then it is banking.
You must exchange it. Or have the bank do it. But all deposits must be dollar denominated.
I really don't know what to do, We tried to use a credit card but the funds were insufficient so the credit card wasn't charged, The contract says it's nonrefundable. Other people are charged 260 for 4 classes a week when i blindly signed and now am sopposedly charged '2 monthly installations of... Read more »
I'm not sure I see how this relates to Bankruptcy... If you're seeking to determine whether this can be discharged in a bankruptcy case, the answer is likely "yes".
Otherwise, it seems to me that you signed a contract and that you're liable for whatever obligations you voluntarily signed up... Read more »
i am separated from my spouse for 25 years but we are legaly still married. can a debtor take the money out of my bank for medical bills HE owes and are only in his name?

It was a dairy farm in Oswego county. Should I have my share deposited in an account with only my name on it?
probably not.
My uncle, a NYS resident died in Dec. 2017. With the transfer of funds upon death his estate has debts to the state greater than the value of the estate. Is this legal?
I am unclear what transfer you are asking about. It is "legal" if it was a pay on death account. However, that person might need to return funds to pay estate debt. If there are more debts than assets, do not create an estate.
I canceled my bank account with Citibank three years ago and Citi said they do not a have a record of any phone conversation documenting that I have attempted to close the account. They have been charging me $25 per month for the the past three years for insufficient funds totaling to approx $600.... Read more »
You have not been damaged, so you have no case. You do not even get the $600 you claim should be written off. Just write a certified letter to the General Counsel for the bank saying what you said here.
Pardon me. The form often gets called by different names in different publications and I used the wrong title. The title on the form is anAFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF

The bank is right and you are confused. The small estate affidavit gets filed with the surrogates court to get what are called voluntary letters. It costs $1. The clerk will help you. You take those letters (which are a court order) to the bank.
