I have a restoration company I gave permission to come into my home and do repairs. They sent out a guy who was snooping threw my cabinets and looking threw my house.
I paid cash for a used motorcycle from a repair/dealership owned by someone I have known a long time. The owner himself sold it to me. I gave him the cash, he gave me the title and keys. Done deal right? Well turns out the title he gave me was 'invalid'. I found this out after bike was... Read more »
I was up to date with payments with them until I just couldn't even afford the minimum payment. I was barely able to pay my rent. I work in the restaurant industry, and it was hit hard. I did try to work out something with them but what they wanted I still couldn't afford. I stopped... Read more »

The restaurant industry was hurt terribly, (and unnecessarily in my opinion), by government regulations and forced closures.

In answer to your question, the owner of the vehicle has the diminished value claim. If you did not own it since you leased it, you do not have a diminished value claim. That said, if I misread your post and you did own the vehicle at the time of the wreck, then you should be able to assert a... Read more »
If I make a police report of stolen goods will they get the storage place to let me in?
answered on Aug 16, 2022
You can contact the storage unit and inform them that some of the property contained in the unit is yours and that you are entitled to it. They cannot have a lien on property that you did not authorize to be in there.
I hired somebody to build the back part of my semi truck. The price agreed was $38,000. Throughout the past months I have sent him 30,000 for material & labor. The work was supposed to be completed 2 months ago. I learned that he has not bought material or started any work on it at all and that... Read more »

Sure, you can sue. Most attorneys are likely to want a similar amount of money, or at least five figures I'd guess, to get this started for you, and hope in the end to be able to get some money from the 'bad guy' towards atty fees, but, there are no guarantees. The BAR has initial... Read more »

There are several ways. You can get a writ of attachment issued by the court to place a lien on the debtor's home or other real property asset. You can get a writ of execution and a wage garnishment order to take a percentage/amount from each paycheck from the debtor, or you can ask the... Read more »

You have asked a good question which should serve as a warning to all consumers: Read the contract before you sign it.
I think I can guarantee that if you had complained before you signed, those add-ons would have been removed. The dealer's explanation is simply bs to lull people into... Read more »

Now it's her vehicle and I have to sue . Is this right?
answered on Apr 21, 2022
If your car is worth $10,00 or less, you can sue her in Small Claims Court, which does not allow lawyers. It's somewhat like "Judge Judy" in that people answer judge's questions without a lawyer present. Most courts have a self-help section on their websites and self-help... Read more »
I am pursuing a California professional state license that requires a credit check and might need to clear up some old judgments from 10 and 14 years ago. I can pay the amounts originally owed, but adding on the interest pushes beyond what I can afford. Is it possible to make this type of deal with... Read more »
answered on Apr 18, 2022
A bankruptcy lawyer should be able to provide you with legal advice and representation for this matter. In fact, both of those judgments may have expired and become unenforceable due to the passage of time, unless they were timely renewed.

answered on Apr 5, 2022
You can assign debt from one debtor to another, but the problem is if you cannot find the one willing to take on John's debt you won't be able to get the assignment completed/signed. You might need to hire an investigator/skip tracer to find Michael first.

You may have a bad faith claim for denial of your claim, but it will likely depend on the terms in the business insurance policy. However, even if the insurance policy won't cover your loss, you may still be able to sue the business for negligence for your damages, but you will likely need to... Read more »
