This loan was taken out in 2008 through BOA and no payment was even made because it was fraudulent. Now in 2020 this collection agency is suing. E despite the SOL being 3 years and from the evidence I have from the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) says that the SOL begins upon the first... Read more »
Don't know about the SOL in South Carolina; but in Florida the SOL for this kind of debt is either 4 or 5 years, depending upon certain circumstances.

Does it have something to do with the mortgage crash in 2008 through 2010?
A South Carolina attorney could best advise, but your post remains open for five weeks. It's possible something inadvertently got left off in uploading your post - a case is not mentioned. Not every question is picked up, but you could try reposting, including the name of the case. Good luck... Read more »
The statute of limitations for breach of contract claims, including employment contracts, is three years in SC.
The owner says we cannot get a refund because we did not purchase insurance. Our reply was that it's not our fault that everything has closed down and we intended on being there until the virus pandemic hit. We are not at fault neither is the hotel but what kind of vacation would it be when... Read more »
Unless the hotel itself closes or otherwise does something that makes it impossible for you to stay there you will be unsuccessful suing the hotel. The room rate you paid is not contingent on the beaches in the area being open.
Completed two repairs on clients home. He has never paid for either and now is trying to sue me in civil court??
More information is needed, such as if the suit is based on valid damages resulting from a breach. One option is to try to arrange a quick consult with a South Carolina attorney who handles contract matters to review the papers. Good luck

I filed it with the magistrates court locally and won the settlement. he was ordered to pay the money. i attempted to have the sheriffs office so a search and seizure but the debtor has moved to new york. Is there anything i can do now or am i just out the... Read more »
You can file that Judgment in the location where he has moved but you will need to contact an attorney in that area to assist you in the process of filing the judgment and collecting the money.
how long the bank have to issue title without me getting some interest on the money I spent to purchase the house
Unless South Carolina is different from other states the deed was created on the day you closed on the purchase. There is no specific time-period for the lender to send you the deed. Call the local county clerk's office and ask if they can help you find a copy of the new deed in their official... Read more »
She says no refunds. Alternatively she has offered to notify me of future scheduled sessions. They’re few and far between.
It could depend on the terms of the underlying agreement between you and the photographer, in particular, what is said about the deposit. If that point is not addressed, it could be open to debate. Good luck

In a year long lease with two others that is joint and severely. I have paid my rent on time and in full for the existing 6 months yet my two roommates are continually late on payments and have accrued late fees and bounced check fees on our account. About 2 month ago after they accrued a balance... Read more »
If you are jointly and severally liable for the entire rent you have very limited options other than catching up the back rent and fees in order to stay in the property. Otherwise the eviction will likely go forward. Take a copy of the lease to an attorney and they might be able to give you some... Read more »
Purchase was from private individual.
A South Carolina attorney could advise you in the best manner, but your question remains open for two weeks. But as a general matter in most any jurisdiction, the recourses would be limited. It's a private sale sealed over a handshake, no warranties, and no contract. Don't beat yourself... Read more »
My attorney had me in emotional distress at our probate mediation, while he had me mentally under pressure after telling me that we were signing PR over to the plaintiff or its 5 to 10 years in prison he asked me to sign a paper stating my presence at mediation. It took me a minute but I was trying... Read more »
I am sure most if not all experienced lawyers who read all the horrible facts you alleged and your extremely unusual question will have the same immediate response as I did: This is impossible.
On the other hand, if everything you say is 100% true your best option is to report your lawyer... Read more »

Yes.
Basically I was trying to sell my used computer and I posted it on various apps and online marketplaces and I forgot to take it down on one of them after I sold it. I just want to know if those initial listing are considered contractual offers or are they viewed more as invitations to offer or... Read more »
FYI, the law is not designed to solve every little problem that comes your way during this lifetime; the Latin phrase for this rule is "De minimus non curat lex." In this case the amount of money involved is way too small to be of interest to most lawyers; and you are advised not to worry... Read more »
Can I legally ask for payment of order upon completion of the client's custom order if the time of payment was not discussed in contract?
Yes; and you do not have to give them whatever it is until you are paid.
You must give your landlord a reasonable amount of time to repair the oven. You should probably give the landlord written notice if the oven is not repaired within a reasonable period of time, you will make the repair yourself and deduct the amount from the monthly rental payment.

We are now having to tow the jeep. It has many issues that we were not informed about before the trade. We have messages where the owner told us the jeep had no issues. The car clearly had issues as they started a mile from their house, where we signed titles over. Is their anything we can do?
Probably not, because neither the Jeep nor the motorcycle are worth enough money to make it worthwhile for you to hire a litigation lawyer and fight the seller. Unless you want to try in a small claims court.
The dealers paperwork was off by 700 miles. What recourse do I have? thanks
Go back to the dealership and have them amend the lease contract to state the correct number of beginning miles.
The organization is saying I can now only use my money on a short term trip with them in the next three years. I was only committed to going with them because they were helping me get overseas to work with them long term & they never told me of any time limit.
IMO, if the organization "gave" you the money upon condition that you make the trip overseas to go to work for them within the next three years, then you must either do that or give the money back--so they can use it to find another employee willing to move overseas to work.
Purchased used vehicle for trips from dealer paid cash. Told me he would mail title docs they were at other location of dealership ( in another state) month later docs reveal dealership never had title - I cannot get title or tags. See questions above. They don’t own vehicle so returning to... Read more »
You really need a lawyer. Hire one.
Hvac works in heat and ac but drain intermittently stops heat from working. Offered to pay for remedy by another company but was refused.
You could try reposting your question in the Landlord-Tenant section, since it hasn't been picked up in four weeks. You are correct in that it involves a contractual/business law matter, but you are speaking of remedies of a company that may have arisen under a lease. What you describe sounds... Read more »
