    Consumer Law, Warranties Buyer's Remorse

    cbg, I'm not refuting what you say, as I have seen you nothing but knowledgable on a wide variety of topics, but I do have something that may have you add qualifying questions to this. For a while, I worked as a Rainbow (vacuum cleaner) salesman in Michigan. We did have this 3-day rule. I...

    Actiivities importance???? please answer!

    If being involved in the activities are part of the parenting plan on file with the courts, and both parents are to follow the parenting plan, then logically it would seem possible that the father not taking her to these could be in violation of the custody agreement. Granted, I'm not a...

    Sex Crimes, Sex Offenders Boyfriend charged with criminal sexual conduct 3rd degree. I need some advice

    If I had to venture a guess, I would bet that the courts no longer give 2 hoots what your parents believe. Your boyfriend was convicted of CSC3 in their court, and as a part of probation he won't be allowed to contact the victim, which in this case, is you. Like it or not, your boyfriend is...

    I'm being taken to small claims court for craigslist ad for chair ad

    You could try sending letters/emails about the situation to your local news reporters/journalists, though you /may/ want to be careful and clear what you would say through a lawyer first. There's a reason companies tend not to comment on current litigation. :D

    paypal screw up

    All I can say is --- owch! That's a hard lesson to learn. Yes, it hurts, bad, but it is unfortunately all in PP's policies. They'll take back what they can from the other's account, and try to reverse the rest from their bank account if one is attached, but short o that, without the buyer...

    I'm being taken to small claims court for craigslist ad for chair ad

    Right. LOL! What would they make him do? Reverse the sale the thrift shop made so he could sell one to the slow person who didn't get there in time? How insane! To the OP, you're going to have to show up. And when you show up, you're going to have to do everything you can to not laugh...

    paypal screw up

    Did you buy the buyer protection? Aparently not. Did you pay for the camera with your paypal balance, or was it withdrawn from a credit card or bank account? If it was from a credit card, you may try talking to your credit card provider about doing a chargeback. Paypal rarely takes the...

    claim against ebay seller

    Paypal does not refund for virtual services. When paying for physical goods, pay with your paypal account if you want to. But even this is a BAD BAD idea. When paying for virtual goods, either accept that you could be throwing money away, or pay with a credit card. Credit card reversals...

    Pennsylvania Statute Regarding Promissory Note

    Wouldn't promisary notes fall under general contract law? I would think so, unless there's something written specifically to it.

    Criminal penalty for faulty UPS delivery?

    What a horrible situation. It depends how cheeky you wish to be. What I would probably do is bring it in, and write a letter to the intended recipient, saying their package has been delivered to you, you have notified UPS of the mistake, and that you are waiting for UPS to come pick up the...

    Drug Crimes, Substance Abuse my rights

    If that's where your lawyer is focused, that's probably where the focus belongs. If you don't agree, then find another lawyer who agrees with you.

    Hospital bills unknown to us from when my husband was a minor

    Well, I'd have to say: 1st, talk to the hospital. Explain what you think is going on, ask what their side is. Maybe you can convince them of... something. I dunno. Talk to the hospital, or whoever owns the debt now. There's always the chance it was an error in paperwork or something of that...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Accomplice in theft II misdemeanor

    You looked the other way because you had a pretty strong idea that your boyfriend was going to attempt to steal from the store. He was with you, you were relatively sure of what was going on, and you did nothing to stop him, thus, you are an accomplice. Especially if he walked through the...

    Gaming Clan Seeks Info

    Anyone can sue for any reason. Is he /really/ going to spend seveal thousand dollars on a lawyer to sue you? I doubt it. What would he sue you for? Do you sell clan merchandice? Any sort of cash exchanges at all? He would have to show damages which the court can provide relief of. Taking...

    eBay Seller Not Happy with Auction Price says, "thanks for trying," Can I Sue?

    You're best bet would be to contact eBay. An eBay auction, as far as I know, does constitute a legal contract, and the seller in question should have set a reserve price if they did not wish to sell under value.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Contract w/Caterer but Groom-to-be Died 6 days b4 wedding

    The quick answer is... what does the contract say? Likely, the contract doesn't have an 'in case of death' clause, and most contracts I've seen (I've been planning my own wedding as of late) simply say that after X date, all paid fees will be non-refundable. Morally, sure, they should give...

    when is posting pictures on the internet illegal??

    First, I am not a lawyer. :) From what I know he can legally use them for personal use. However if he posts them anywhere that rewards him for posting them, you would have him in at least a civil matter as he does not have a model release. I know 'reward' is vague, but there's a reason...

    statute of limitations for CSC 2nd degree

    If nothing else, it's worth at least going and talking to someone at the police department with. Perhaps they may not be able to get the strongest laws, but maybe there's others, child endangerment, conspiracy to <something> (I assume when you said 'my my' you had meant your monther, which would...

    statute of limitations for CSC 2nd degree

    For some reason, 7 to 10 years sticks out in my head, and even at 7 years you should still be covered. Of course, you could just go down and ask at the police station while you file your report? Really sorry to hear this happened to you. :(
