We got a dishwasher that turned out to be broken. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer would replace it. Is that legal? Can we do anything?

Maryland has a Consumer Protection law can probably provide help for you in your situation. The law has two relevant parts.  First, you can file a complaint with the Division of Consumer Protection.  This may or may not help your case, but it is something that you can do by yourself. Second, the act allows you to bring a civil action for the loss sustained due to any violations of Maryland's Consumer Protection statute.  This statute is particularly helpful because it allows the court to award attorney's fees to your counsel if you win your case.  That provision will help you find counsel to take your case, even though the amount at issue is only the cost of a dishwasher. I hope that helps.   DISCLAIMER: This is not intended to be specific legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.  No attorney-client relationship is formed by this posting.... Read Answer

You should probably consult a local FDCPA attorney for a more detailed evaluation.... Read Answer

If I want two people on a car title, is that second person legally obligated to be on the car loan/finance appication?

Just because two people do or will own property doesn't mean that both of them must be on the loan. If one of the people can qualify on his or her own, that will do it as far as the legal obligation to pay. BUT it will be the case that both owners must consent to and grant a security interest in the property which will serve as collateral - in this case, the car.  Best of luck with your loan! I hope you're the non-obligated owner:)... Read Answer
