Its unlikely that will bear out in court. In 99% of those cases - they will prpoduce records showing that they sent multiple letters and notices telling you to get your car or they will deem it abandoned or sell it off under a mechanics lein. Generally  - just because you have a dispute with the manufacturer - you are not enitled to store your broken vehicle at a dealership for free and without thier agreement otherwise. You will likely need to hire a lawyer, typically at your expense, to review this and determine what actually happened and what if any remedies you might have. ... Read More

Not likely. Its simply common sense any more that if you have ANYONE perform repairs of any type on your computer that YOU are responsible for making and keeping a data back up, precisely for the this reason. Adding to this 99% of such services have waivers and exclusions related to data loss and reinforce the obligation of the customer to maintain a proper back up... Read More

Unless you are willing to spend a lot more money than the case is worth "to make a point", I don't see a viable claim here. There are no real damages, and any issue with the restaurant should easily be cleared up by getting the bank to confirm it was thier fault and to transmit the monies owed to the restaurant owner. Bear in mind - if you sue the bank over such an issue - its also likely they will ban you from future transactions as a customer and cancel your account. In some businesses this is a significant issue that needs to be considered. ... Read More

Possibly. The problem with such cases is those "scammers" are usually dirtbags or junkies that spend the money as fast as they scam it from thier victims, so expectations of "getting money back" are slim. That said, this is an issue you should report to law enforcement to address from a "holding them accountable" aspect. ... Read More

If the eviction already occurred this would be a problem. The time to address allegations of HUD violations or an unlawful eviction is BEFORE the eviction takes place and hiring a lawyer from the beginning. I was able to look at part of your case and it seems you were removed from the property by writ of possession almost 1 year ago. It is not clear what you are attempting to do, or what result to achieve, at this point in time. You can call our office at 1-800-922-6442 to address this issue further or to provide more details....

This will all depend on the terms and conditions of the membership you signed up for. You will need to review that and cancel accordingly.

Citing California state law rulings 3000 miles away, from 1946,  is rarely of consequence in another state. That said, you will need to immediately retain a real estate lawyer to address any access issues required for maintenance of the A/C units on the roof, if there is a controversy over maintence access. As a general rule, you will not be allowed on the roof for liability reasons nor to service your own A/C unit for the some of the same reasons and often public health issues associated with freon or R410 handling....

Impossible to tell from the facts provided as you seem in one part to state this is a storm damage issue and then in the other claim it was caused by contractors. What is clear, however, is that if the repair cost is $500.00 it is not likely productive to retain a lawyer to intervene as it will likely cost more than the amount in dispute. No harm in calling "property damage" lawyers to see if there are any angles that might get them onboard such an insurance claim or such. ... Read More

This depends on the actual reasons for denial. Many times the denials are legitimate exclusions to the policy. Others, based on garbage excuses trying to screw the home owner by not paying as agreed. You will need to retain a lawyer to pursue this, typicallyat your own expense due to some recent law changes. ... Read More

You can report this to the attorney general, but there is no viable lawsuit here simply because the legal expense will exceed the amount in controversy. This may simply be a lesson in dealing with businesses and learning not to put money down without a writtne agreement of some sort. Making decisions based on FOMO is rarely a good idea,where its best to simply find another business thats available. ... Read More

If it was his car also - i.e. his being on the title, then there is no "theft." That stated, if he was not on the title, this shoudl be reported to law enforcement where he should be arrested for theft. The bigger issue is why would you have a car towed to a dealer for maintenance crammed with all that stuff in the first place? There is much more to this than related and that may impact y our ability to retain a lawyer to pursue this issue, starting with how the EX knew where the vehicle was to pick it up to start start with. Otherwise, you will simply need to plan on spending some money to hire a lawyer to address these issues and possibly file a replevin lawsuit. ... Read More
