Our truck burnt up on a dealership’s property and now having trouble reaching a settlement. What are our options?

Answered 2 years and 6 months ago by attorney J. Allen Fiorletta | 1 Answer

Either your insurance, or more likely the dealership's insurance, should compensate you for the truck. The issue, of course, is whether you agree with the value that is being offered. What dealership, and in what city, did this happen?

Answered 4 years and 7 months ago by attorney J. Allen Fiorletta | 1 Answer

If your son has an alibi defense, that defense must be raised promptly. It is unlikely that the State will simply dismiss the charges based upon your knowledge of his wherabouts. He needs an experienced criminal defense attorney fighting for him.

I paid 3K for an online coaching program. 2 months later I asked for half my money back because I was getting nothing out of it. No contract signed.

Answered 4 years and 7 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman | 1 Answer

First, you will need proof of payment to have any chance for a refund. Next, depending on how long the course was, your desired refund of half back may or may not be reasonable. How was the course sold to you? By who? How. What promises were made? How did the course meet or fail to meet your expectations? Have you sent a written demand for refund (if not do this immediately)? Explain the reasons for your dissatisfaction. Give them a reasonable amount of time to respond. If they do not respond, you may well have to go to small claims court to be made whole. Depending on the character of the people who sold you the class, their reputaton ought to matter to them. Many vendors only respond when they get negative online reviews. Sorry I can't be more clear. Consulting an attorney couldn't hurt. Good luck. ... Read Answer

Odometer reading for a used car purchase

Answered 5 years and 10 months ago by attorney J. Allen Fiorletta | 1 Answer

Small claims court may be your best bet, depending on how much the car cost. The limit for small claims is $6,000.00. Otherwise, you may also have a claim for breach of contract/fraud in the inducement. This basically means that you were induced to enter into the agreement based upon lies or misrepresentations of the seller. There is also the possibility that the seller will take the vehicle back in order to avoid being sued.... Read Answer

I recently got scammed at a loan company I was wondering what can I do to get my money I paid them back?

Answered 14 years and 2 months ago by Ms. Loretta Salzano (Unclaimed Profile) | 1 Answer

Wish you said more about how you were scammed. Usurious interest? Didn't receive loan proceeds? Overcharged fees? You can try to "do it yourself" by writing to the president clearly stating your concerns and demanding a refund with the threat of going to their regulator or an attorney if they don't pay up. If that doesn't work, you can go to their regulator and see if that causes them to pay. If that still doesn't work, then it's time to visit a consumer finance attorney representing borrowers in actions of this type. Sadly, many companies do the right thing only when receiving a demand from an attorney. ... Read Answer
