Recieved a letter saying it has been closed and no further payments are to be made. Just received another letter that they are garnishing my wages for 3,620.04...is this legal?
Gather up those letters and get them to a consumer lawyer for a free consultation. They should offer you a free consultation to review the documents and determine if you've been garnished too much money.
Is it fraud if an owner of a company advertises merchandise at a certain percentage off, but then tells the sales team not to let customers know of these sales?
It's possible. It depends on the state of mind with which it's done.

Is it fraud if an owner of a company advertises merchandise at a certain percentage off, but then tells the sales team not to let customers know of these sales?
It could be. It would depend on the state of mind and intent with which it's done. Good luck

She has several different potential options; and accepting their offer doesn't sound like it makes her whole. I would suggest she contact a consumer lawyer in Wisconsin. They should offer her a free consultation where they can explain her rights and options. Many of them also take cases like this... Read more »
seems to be a class action settlement but I don't recall filing a claim, is it a scam or legit? Case no 16-CH-06603. Everything I could find about this class action settlement is dated in 2016 or 2017 so I'm not sure why I received a check today (04/22/2019)
Despite what you have been reading about, and hearing on the radio and TV, or talking about with friends down at the local pub, not everything strange that is happening to good people is a "scam." Unless the class action distribution check you received is for several hundred thousand dollars you... Read more »
Some restaurants will pay. Some will ask for proof, as in the form of an ER visit or doctor visit. Some will contest your claim that their food made you sick.

What if i make a $1,000,000 purchase and it lets me can i go to jail?
No, you won't go to jail. Because if your card/bank authorizes the transaction, you'll then owe the bank all that money. They'll freeze your accounts and probably sue you for the money. Don't be stupid; don't do it.
It depends on your answer.
Depends on the reason they're closing it. Did they explain why?
My vehicle was recently repossessed, and I didn't receive a notice to cure debt . Now I'm told that I have to pay late fee's ,past due balance of $100, and a $299 fee in order to retrieve my vehicle.
You may have a case for an "illegal repossession" and be entitled to get the vehicle back -- AND return of all the money you paid on the car. Contact a local consumer lawyer that specializes in repossession cases and request a free consultation.
You really need to talk with a lawyer about that, before making a decision. It will turn on the nature of the class and the type/strength of individual claims you have.

More information is needed to evaluate the facts in your inquiry. Appraisals are subjective. So it is unsurprising there are different opinions about the value of the home. This is not fraud (misrepresentation is a synonym). It may be negligence. More information is needed to see how negligent the... Read more »
