This may also be a violation of Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act.

Avoid bankruptcy - many medical expenses - Would you know what would happen if we just wrote a letter explaining our situation?
answered on Oct 4, 2021
You may not be able to avoid bankruptcy, that's what it's there for. You can contact the credit card companies to see if they would be willing to work with you. Otherwise, a debt consolidation service may also be of assistance.
Best of luck.

It sounds like it probably is time to contact a lawyer right now.
I have noticed this clause in many end user agreements such as computer and phone software, product and service warranty terms, various financial applications, etc. It is always one-sided (written by the provider) and directed at the buyer. Sometimes these terms include mandatory use of a (or... View More

Right to a jury applies to criminal matters, not civil cases like business contracts. Rights to a jury in civil cases depend on state law, and can usually be waived as a matter of contract. That's why those waivers appear in so many business contracts.

I would demand that the repair shop reimburse you, or make a claim on its insurance. They may have a garagekeepers provision for this. The other option is to notify your insurance, and they may reimburse you and seek subrogation. Contact an attorney to talk about drafting a demand letter or... View More

If you intend to terminate him for breach of contract and sue him, you have to give him notice. Even if you succeed in court and get a judgment against him, it might be difficult to... View More
