My husband's car was towed the reson given was it was abandoned but it wasn't on the side of the road for not even two hours
Yes, he can file, but the real question is, what are his chances of prevailing? That depends on various factors, including whether there was a tow-away zone sign, what type of road it was on the side of, whether the side of the road is legal right-of-way, and other facts. For example, If it was... Read more »
A national bank from an account in Tn in 2010 claimed Breach of Contract from overdraft/late fees on an account that was thought closed. In 2012, the bank sold the debt to a collections agency. Now, a (different) collections agency is attempting to collect on the debt plus huge amounts of interest... Read more »
Either two, three or four years. So if I were you I would work within the two year possibility.
Tenant upstairs (not even on the lease at the time) flooded my unit downstairs, said his washer overflowed. Carpets stink, the ceiling was removed, i have studs through the living area, dining area and kitchen. Bare light fixtures.
As a starting point, you could contact a Florida attorney who handles property & casualty losses to review available insurance(s) that might cover the damage. Good luck

After vacating my apartment complex, my previous landlord is threatening to send claims to collections. We did not put down a security deposit. We dispute the claim they are making. They refuse to send me the bill for damages, just stating " it cost xxxx to fix." They have only contacted me through... Read more »
By "collections", I think you mean using a collection agency or collection law firm to demand payment from you. Sure, that's merely using a third party to act on behalf of the landlord instead of the landlord itself/himself/herself making the demands. If that occurs, send back a written dispute... Read more »
What can be done? It's in Florida.
What does the deputy say? How does he or she know that the woman is at home?
Assuming you are the plaintiff, get the sheriff to file a return of service explaining in detail what occurred. Then, when it's time, ask for a judicial default.
2 days after taking vehicle home, found out it needed a transmission. My salesman literally blocked me and my family from contacting him. So i filed a complaint with the Department of Motor Vehicles. 30 days later, expired tag, car doesn't move
You didn't ask a question, but I suppose you are asking, "Can I take legal action against the dealer?" In your situation, you can't get a quick answer on-line. You must sit down with an attorney who will review all your documents related to the transaction and discuss the details of the... Read more »

Unless you find some way to get out of this SNAFU you will soon see a repo truck arrive to tow your new car away.
I hadn't spoken to my husband for 8 months when he died 5yrs ago & his sister voluntarily paid his funeral bill w/o asking me for reimbursement tho she asked me to sign consent for cremation as next of kin. No probate was filed; I didn't think he had anything to his name. I recently found out that... Read more »
Yes, there is a statute of limitations; it's four years assuming there is no written agreement. But the sentence "Or my agreement that I repay her?" raises a question; was there such an agreement? If not, you probably would not be obligated on the original claim anyway; you were not legally... Read more »
This person accuse me of stealing something. Then they said if I paid for I can continue to live their. When I could not pay them the money they locked me out of the house and kept every possession than I own. Is this even legal and can I get arrested for something then I did not do. And how do I...

Typically there are two common ways one could be arrested. The first way is if the officer has probable cause to make an arrest. In order for the officer to have probable cause to make an arrest, the officer must have credible facts and circumstances present that would lead an ordinary prudent... Read more »

No. The small claims jurisdictional amount is $5,000. So you cannot sue for the amount by which the statutory penalty exceeds that amount.
I Rented some tires from a place left their shop jumped on the expressway herd a clanking noise slowed down until the next exit got off and my tire flew clean threw the intersection and into the woods! Simply put i called the proper people got towed back to their shop and the guy got mad cause i... Read more »
Rental of tires is something I've never heard of. But I suppose that, if they put the tires on your rims and mounted the rims on your truck, they should have made sure the lug nuts were properly torqued.
The guy is now claiming a big expensive (his words) window broke Can he sue us ?
Yes, he can sue your husband. If he can prove that your husband broke the window, and how much it will cost to replace it, he can get a judgment against him.
I live in the UK now, and I am hoping to resolve it as I am planning a vacation to Florida but I am aware there could be a bench warrant for me as I couldn't attend the hearing.

There is no bench warrant out for you for a credit card financial judgment, the judgment is good for 10 years and then 10 more if renewed. You may want to start by looking up the case online with the clerk of the court in the county where you lived and see what it says, you can also call the clerk... Read more »
So here is my issue. 3 months ago I moved out of an apt at the end of the lease and I got a bill of $725 minus 150 from the deposit they already kept, so 575. $500 are for the carpet. My problem is that the manager assistant told me a few months before that they were changing every apartments... Read more »
Free practical "opinion": Since you lived there for at least a year, and since you walked away expecting the landlord to keep your entire $150 deposit, it sounds like you must have known that leaving without cleaning the carpet--which is a standard clause in every lease--because you thought you...

If you lease a car instead of buying it, no: your creditors cannot take the car. Unless you have equity in a vehicle, there is effectively no way they could take it.
I accidentally used the wrong label it was an att one not an apple one. It went to att and I can’t get it back. I don’t want to give att a free phone. I am still paying it off through Apple.
Have you tried calling AT&T?
I invested money for a profit return promise. No contracts were signed. Just some emails with acknowledgment. The person said to own company does not exist nor does the company
Wow. If I had $100 for every sad story involving long-distance bad investment scams I have heard of here in Florida I would not have to practice law for my living.
Fact: Since most scams do not involve scads of money, scammers know that most of their hapless targets will just let it go and... Read more »
This is not the first time a vehicle has been damaged this year. The tree is clearly dead and the landlord has done nothing to remove it. He said he has no insurance to pay for damages and there is nothing he can do. What should I do?
If you have comprehensive property damage insurance covering your car get it fixed and save copies of the cost of repairs. The look at your written lease to see who is liable. Then see an attorney.
