    California Car dealership "forgot" to charge sales tax!

    The car was purchased in California, but I live in Arkansas. So, I bought a car a couple of days ago from a California car dealership and picked it up. During the negotiations on the phone, I said that I assume that I'll pay sales tax on the car when I get home to register it in Arkansas...

    Can this electrician sue me for work he didn't do?

    Oh, and let's not forget that he was being verbally abusive to his wife directly in front of me. I have a recording of his voicemail in which he admits to having a bad attitude and an inappropriate dynamic with his wife. Even *IF* we had an "oral" contract, wouldn't his behavior still give...

    Can this electrician sue me for work he didn't do?

    Well, he claimed he's going to sue me for $200, but that it will "end up costing me $2000 to $3000." I really don't think he'd go through all the trouble for $200. Plus, we didn't even have an oral contract. They never mentioned a total price, and there was no invoice or discussion of a...

    Can this electrician sue me for work he didn't do?

    That may be true in a lot of cases. However, I was told by a general contractor who deals with this stuff all the time that in Arkansas, there has to be a written contract in order for him to enforce anything.

    Can this electrician sue me for work he didn't do?

    Because there wasn't one! He didn't mention a contract, he didn't discuss it with me, and I certainly didn't sign one. The only piece of paper that was involved that day was the personal check I used to pay him the service call fee. He can't just get his own contract (without my signature...

    Can this electrician sue me for work he didn't do?

    Right, but apparently in Arkansas without a contract, he's dead in the water. It will be the first thing the judge asks to see.

    Can this electrician sue me for work he didn't do?

    I've been told by both a lawyer and a general contractor (both of which I trust) that if this guy doesn't have a written contract (which he doesn't), then there's absolutely nothing he can do. He *could* still file the lien against my house, but that would be incredibly stupid of him, since I...

    Can this electrician sue me for work he didn't do?

    This is in Arkansas. Last week an electrician came to my house to fix a couple of random small things. We did not agree on a total price, and I did NOT sign any kind of contract. I'll try to make this story as short as possible, but the gist of it is that he acted extremely unprofessionally...
