You need to get help to change your Facebook Settings to make sure that your personal information is not visible to people you don't know. I am not an expert on privacy laws so whether or not you have a lawsuit I can't tell you. Generally speaking you need to prove economic damages to... View More

No, you would still need to go through all the statutory requirements, obtain a court Order, etc. Any provisions to the contrary in a lease or other agreement would simply be unenforceable at best and possibily render the landlord liable for damages if he/she knowingly put unlawful provisions in...

Talk to your bank and do damage control. Talk to your lender and find out why they didn't what they did. I would stop autopay so this can't happen anymore if that is an option. Talk to anyone that you needed to pay and can't and explain the situation. Most creditors are nice if... View More

There is probably some type of agreement you signed, either a paper agreement or an online agreement. You will need to take this agreement and copies of all documents showing what Heritage promised they would do in terms of selling your collection and go to an attorney to get your case evaluated....

Probably not - the life insurance was paid to you pursuant to a contract your sister had with the life insurance company. However since the proceeds were never actually payable to your sister while she was alive and the policy I assume named you as her beneficiary, and did not say it was payble to... View More

You should give the car title with your signature on it, your grandmother's death certificate, and the DMV affidavit of heirship to the company you want to donate the car to. The affidavit of heirship should be signed by the beneficiary of your grandmother's estate. You can get the DMV... View More

This doesn't make sense. If party "A" gave money to party "B" in exchange for a promisory note there is a secured transaction. If you are saying that the documents listed party "A" as a New York Corporation that didn't exist, the fact remains that there... View More

There is just no way to answer that question with such limited information. When you go through the divorce process the court will evaluate all the property acquired during the marriage (and that includes property you had before the marriage to the extent that the value increased during the...

I would need some follow up information in order to answer this question. Did you have a written or verbal contract with the original body shop? Was there an agreement of a time period to fix your car? Did they do any diagnostic work that was contracted for. What is the body shop's... View More

I would contact a lawyer, preferably one that deals with bankruptcy and debt issues. I know you want to take care of this debt but before you do pay it, you might want to know if bankruptcy is a better option which it might be if you have a lot of other debts. I see people struggle to pay one debt... View More

This isn't my area of expertise so you will probably need to still look for an attorney that specializes in used car purchase issues.

I'm not in my office, so I can't look up the statutes, but there are a few on the books that should allow you to go after the storage place.

If you have surrendered possession of the unit, they can rent it out and a new occupant can move in.

If you have homeowners insurance, turn it over to them. They should defend you even though you were traveling at the time. You are only responsible for the reasonable cost of repair. The problem is you may have to prove what is reasonable. You would need to have your own expert give an estimate... View More

First you need to get the paperwork they sent chase. They can't just show up with a levy. Second you need to find out who this board is. I'd also worry the whole thing is a scam, so follow up with JP morgan at a number you get on your statement not on some email.

A lot is fact specific and your damages would be the cost of what you paid (or payment plus monthly charges). Suggest you write them a demand letter for starters--any judge will want to see that you asked. No, you don't get paid for hassle of it, waiting on hold, and other fun Verizon times.... View More
