What if i make a $1,000,000 purchase and it lets me can i go to jail?
answered on May 22, 2018
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.

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 »

Maybe talk to a counselor on what your issues are--realistically, most guys want the sizzle without the effort to make themselves attractive, or they expect someone way... Read more »
They said they will tell us the main points and sign the paperwork right away and you can read the rest later after already signing the paperwork. They also said if anyone makes an ordeal over it they will take stuff away like the use of headphones and that.

The short answer is yes. The provider has breached its contract with your business and, as a result, your business is losing money. That is actionable in court.
Dodge has no ETA on when the part will be delivered. Isn't there some kind of law requiring a newer car to have parts available? Is Dodge at fault for not providing the parts I need to get my car repaired?

Contact Dodge HQ --this is truly bizarre. The Center for Auto Safely could answer your question.
