Many car dealers believe that selling a vehicle “as is” prevents the buyer from bringing a lawsuit for defects, but it does not bar all future claims. A transaction may include both implied warranties and express warranties. An “as is” clause disclaims implied warranties only. Any express... View More

Draft a demand letter, include evidence of your cancelation, and demand they repay. It may be a false/deceptive business practice, and you might be able to file a small claims matter alleging a CSPA violation if they refuse to give you your money back.

He may be permitted, as long as he gives proper notice beforehand. Discuss the matter with him and ask that any prospective lessors use hand sanitizer, not touch anything, and wear masks or gloves while in your apartment. It's also okay to leave out hand sanitizer for their use.
my name is on a joint loan with ex husband. how do i get my name off. he's ruining my credit by not paying. divorce decree stated he is solely responsible for repayment.

You can talk to the lender, but lender likely will not agree to take you off. So the loan would have to be refinanced. If ex won't refinance or pay, then file with the court to have ex held in contempt. Talk to your divorce attorney, or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local divorce... View More
I signed and submitted the renewal contract. A week later they undid the signed renewal and increased the rent amount. They said the amount in the contract was not correct. This seems illegal. If I wanted to void the contract a week after signing, there would be a penalty. How can they modify it if... View More

If you signed the renewal first, and landlord hadn't signed the renewal, then landlord could decide not to sign it, and instead, change the rent amount and send you a revised renewal to sign. But if you and landlord both signed the renewal, and then landlord came back and changed it, then... View More

Generally no. But it can be case specific so you should check with the trustee.

You would have to consult the terms of your cardholder agreement, but the answer is almost certainly yes they can do that. Most stores reserve the right to cancel accounts for a variety of reasons including excessive returns.
I have agreed to buy an item listed on Facebook Marketplace. I am in Ohio, as is the seller. We used facebook messenger to come to an agreement. The seller has since raised the price, and also listed it on ebay. Do I have a legally binding agreement?

Yes. However, a court is unlikely to enforce the agreement unless you have been harmed in some way or the item was a specialty item or otherwise difficult to procure.

answered on Apr 12, 2020
If you were sold a trailer that the seller claimed was a 2021 model but was, in fact, a 2020 model, the seller has violated the Consumer Sales Practices Act, (CSPA) ORC 1345.02 (B) (2) among other sections of that act. You have a legal claim against the seller, especially if this representation is... View More

Check your contract. If you purchased the car "as is" and no affirmative misrepresentations about the car were made, you are likely out of luck. If the dealer made affirmative misrepresentations about the quality of the car, you may have a cause of action under Ohio's Consumer Sales... View More

You are likely barred from bringing a claim against the supplier because you did not include them in the first lawsuit. Ohio litigants are required to sue all necessary parties to a suit. If they don't, then future cases can be barred. This is to encourage efficient litigation and discourage... View More

The car dealer is likely violating Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act (OCSPA) for calling you after you've asked them to stop. They would be liable for damages for this.
There are two main types of collection calls: 1. those from an original creditor, and 2. those from a third... View More

If you can't work it out, you will have to sue in small claims court up to $6000, or in municipal court up to $15,000. Over that amount, sue in common pleas court. You would have to prove there was a warranty covering the problem or that the dealer failed to disclose known problems. Use the... View More

It's unlikely that any attorney could offer meaningful input on a loan based on a few facts posted here. They would need to sit down with you and review the loan agreement. But it would be a consultation that you would probably need to pay a fee for, and it's likely that loan agreements... View More
