How were you damaged by the solicitation? Were you only inconvenienced, or did you suffer severe mental or physical pain and anguish? Unless you were severely affected, it isn't worth suing.

Unfortunately what you are describing is a gift and a gift is not complete until you receive it. Since the title was never transferred over to you you never received the gift. If there are no other facts this is how a court would view this matter.

A red light was run and the police refused to breathalyze the driver even though I requested them to. He was notably impaired. His excuse was ‘the guy was a doctor’ and he didn’t have probable cause
answered on Nov 5, 2021
In answer to your question, yes. I don't think his excuse is valid however law enforcement is not require to have each driver involved in a MVA given a breathlyzer test. Now, if you think the law enforcement really breached his duties, then you can assert a complaint with his supervisor or... Read more »

You never have to change your name if you don't want to. I would actually advise against it. I have seen how much paperwork you have to go through, and unless you really want to change your name, I wouldn't do it.
I agreed to still wear a mask but was told if I don’t answer the assessment questions then I cannot work.
Can they discriminate against me for that?

You do not have to answer. However, the employer can terminate you for not answering.

It is also the preferred method for disposing of a flag that has is no longer serviceable, the difference being that it is supposed to be done reverently.

It sounds like you have grounds for a complaint against the sales agency under the Federal and North Carolina's Fair Housing Act. You can do one of two things.

My experience with DSS workers is not good. They often seem to gleefully abuse their power based on the flimsiest of evidence or even just their own bias and prejudice. Typically speaking you should never cooperate with DSS. As to what you should do now, you could likely benefit from a... Read more »

Your big mistake was cooperating with DSS. The time to have hired an attorney was prior to making that very bad decision. However, you still need an attorney and ASAP but you need a local attorney. So your best bet is to shop around locally - most of the attorneys here will not be able to assist... Read more »
