It would be clearer if the contract explicitly provided that the failure to pay the deposit on time would give the seller the right to terminate, but I would view the failure to pay the deposit as a material breach which gives the non-breaching party the right to rescind the contract.

Car Lease Transfer

Answered 11 years ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
This is a terrible idea for a huge number of reasons. If you really feel compelled to have details for the reasons, your best bet is to simply hire a lawyer to address this with you. If you have further questions, feel free to call out offices at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation.

This sounds like a complaint about the buyers agent not conveying an offer to you as a seller. As a general rule, the buyers agent owes you no obligation to convey anything nor for you to have damages because you claim you would have accepted an offer after the fact. If this was YOUR agent you might have a case BUT it will revolve around ALL of the facts from all parties being established and considered. This is typically NOT a contingent fee type case however.

signing a non-compete

Answered 11 years and 2 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
This is a question that should have been asked BEFORE you signed the agreement. Now, the only way to properly address this is for you to spend money hiring a lawyer to review the agreement and provide an opinion about what the exposures are. Starting point is that it is what you agreed to unless or until someone sues to to enforce or challenge it. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office for a FREE consultation at 1-800-922-6442.... Read More

Misinformed about a contract can I get out of it?

Answered 11 years and 2 months ago by W Chase Carpenter (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It's possible, but without seeing the contract, it is hard to say the strength or weakness of getting out of the contract.  I'm familiar with the situation, but without more details and a review of the contract, it will be tough for an attorney to give you any definitive answer.  I'd suggest meeting with an attorney (particularly a contract or contract litigation attorney) to have the contract reviewed and discuss your options.  If an option, you may also find it helpful to retain the attorney to take care of the situation (again, if you have a way out).  Remember, too, that just because you may or may not have a stong legal argument, there are practical considerations that may also be helpful in resolving the situation.  An attorney will be able to discuss these with you... with the goal of coming up with a game plan to find the best possible solution for you....

Auto loans liens and responsibilty?

Answered 11 years and 5 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
The lien has nothing to do with your obligation to repay the loan, but only secured the loan.  The pawn broker has lost its security for your loan, but you still owe it the money.  Presumably, the loan contract provided that yiour sale of the vehicle constituted a breach of the contract, and accelerated the due date for payment (i.e. the entire loan became immediately due and payable.)  The pawn broker will likely now sue you for the amount owing.  It is possible that you will be able to negotiate a settlement of the debt, but otherwise the pawn broker is likely to obtain a judgment against you and begin collection proceedings....

Possibly, but a lawyer would need to look over the agreements and contracts to have proper idea of the risks. You may want to advise the banks inspector of the lies as they may do all that for you, as the house is the banks collateral, hence the bank having an inspector.

Fraud cases rise and fall on proof issues. While everyone loves to scream fraud for virtually every unpleasant or disadvantageous contract dispute, it is a very very very hard standard to actually meet for proof at trial. Adding to your situation, if you were a party to the reverse mortgage, you run the risk that YOU get accused of being a participant as going along such an evaluation as a homeowner to GET the money, and then when you can't repay it as agreed, screaming fraud, often causes a great deal of controversy and credibility issues. This is a classic issue with stated loan mortgages, where people would sign off on fake finaincial statements "because they were told to by the broker if they wanted to get the loan" and then later cry foul, when they knew darn well they didn't earn $300,000.00 a year at thier $30,000.00 a year job to buy the 5 bedroom 3 car garage house in a gated community on the water. If you intend to pursue such issues, you REALLY need to do so with a lawyer handling the case to make sure good decisions are made.... Read More
