My car was towed from a shopping lot but signs were not easily viable. Can I Sue for my money back
answered on Oct 28, 2019
A New Hampshire attorney could answer you best, but your question remains open for two weeks.

This is not a civil rights issue. If it wasn't registered then the owner of the property has rights. You should have notified them about your car being on the property without an inspection sticker. If you can prove they knew it was your car and you were there legally you may have an argument,... View More
I bought a used car through a private sale. The man who sold the car lied about its condition and guaranteed that it would pass inspection. When I questioned him on guaranteeing NH inspection, he then had a mechanic back him up. He had me meet him at the mechanic shop, and the mechanic said he... View More

Even if everything you state above is true, you still need to prove it in court. If it's a significant amount of money, it may be worth hiring an attorney.
I was told the car was safe, it had a current inspection sticker. Brought it to meineke after purchase to find out the entire rear frame and control arms are rotted out, one was broken the other was about to go.

Yes, of course. Here is a link to a lawyer in New York that does Lemon Law: www.kaselllawfirm.com/
He may be able to point you in the right direction since you are up in New Hampshire.
He helped a neighbor move to be nice. She said he broke the ac, which is 6+years old. Both said it was working when he left. She said it worked until she unplugged it. She's threatening a lawsuit.
