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.

Maybe the best place to start here would be to contact the manufacturer or dealer. I didn’t see anything in the facts as to what the product was, but if the recall was related to safety or an issue involving risk of injury, reputable companies would likely be interested in addressing the matter.

Then, if you have the time, sue her in small claims court.

Your claim is a simple breach of contract. Take the case to small claims court. No lawyer will touch this case, in my opinion.

My suggestion is to call the Attorney General's office. If the dealer is too sleazy to pay, then you can bet this has happened before. You were sold a NEW vehicle, not one that had been damaged and repaired.

Your question makes no sense which indicates to me you should have a lawyer. Court procedure is different in each court. As to using court documents from other cases not only is it legal, it is smart.

Allergic reaction to this cream and my face is burning and very swollen if those wore the warning signs on the bottle i would of never use it i went to emergency room for some kind of help. So what should i do

If you are just having an allergic reaction, this would not be a defective product. Someone with a peanut allergy cannot sue Jif if they eat Jif's peanut butter, as the product is not defective. Now, if you are allergic to an ingredient that was not listed on the product, then you may have a case.
