    Home Owners Assoc. Parking Issue

    To emphasize what Army has told you, many homeowner's are not fully aware of the control that a HOA has over the community. Have you ever read your bylaws and covenant? Have you ever attended a HOA meeting? Depending on the elected Board of Directors, they may or may not have sympathy for...

    Posting Emails to Website - Sender claiming Copyright Infringement, need advice.

    I'm not an attorney, yet I can see that the legal threats are nothing than blowing smoke. The emails are not copyrighted, that is ridiculous. If the individual wanted to keep his words private, he should not have used email!! Email is not a secured means of transmitting information. As long...

    NYC Hostel Problem

    Would you seriously consider legal action for $43.20?! I assume you have already spoken with the Financial District hostel? Are you already past the cancellation period? If so, then tell them that the move is unacceptable to you and you wish to cancel due to that fact. If they still refuse...

    IRS garnishment error

    Army, The 2004 tax debt is due to an early distribution penalty on a withdrawal made fraudulantly without her knowledge. (I believe I've mentioned previously to you details eluding to all that). Patricia, I've never had a garnishment, lien, or anything like that in my life. Thus, yes...

    IRS garnishment error

    I had just amended my wife's 2004 tax return a couple of months ago. The amended return, if accepted by the IRS, would have discharged all tax due. We were married in 2007 and thus I had no personal liability for this tax return. We have not received any correspondence from the IRS since the...

    Speeding Ticket questions

    Two years ago I was ticketed for violating a no turn sign (I forget the exact reason). Since the signage was new and I was from out of town, the officer actually told me that if I contested the ticket he would NOT show up. I have always wondered why he even took the time to write the ticket if...

    City Harrassment?

    Eminent domain. If someone tresspasses at night and causes fear, the police will respond. Perhaps someone will respond to you about fighting eminent domain, yet I assume it would be a fruitless fight. Unfortunately, it is best for her to prepare plans to move. She will be paid fair...

    What to do

    Do not talk to collection agencies. Most if not all are crooked. If you have call block capability on your phone, use it. Handle your debts directly with the vendor you owe such as the doctor's office. Call them and ask what you owe. If the debt is old the vendor (doctor's office) may...

    Speeding Ticket questions

    If you haven't already, you will probably receive half a dozen soliciations from traffic schools in your mailbox. Call and ask your question. Or call the courthouse.

    Speeding Ticket questions

    When I first read your post, my first instinctive thought was "why didn't he slow down instead of speed up". Though I understand your dilemna, there is no excuse for not being prepared for your turnoff. Army's advice is the best, yet if you do decide to contest it keep this in mind. If you...

    Car Accident

    From your post I assume you may have knowledge of your ex-husband using alcohol or drugs. I also assume you are looking to see if this may have been the cause of the accident and thus a reason to take full custody for your son's protection. You did not mention if he had been arrested or not...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks credit card fraud

    How good of a friend is she? What is her current financial situation? You may wish to consider her claiming bankruptcy. It may or may not be feasible depending upon her situation, yet it is something to consider. This may cause a temporary financial blow for her, yet would eliminate the...

    Question of liability

    Yes, either directly or indirectly. If the HOA is sued, then an assessment would be necessary to cover any loss. The homeowners would ultimately pay. The following paragraph is what I plan to put in a letter to all homeowner. What I would like to know if my fear has merit or not. "I...

    Question of liability

    I do not believe your scenarios have relevant similarity. In this situation the HOA will be continually paying monthly to maintain this private property and thus creates a "special interest" by doing so. The HOA also has entered into a contract with the lake maintenace company which causes...

    Fence Torn Down

    The fence in my backyard that separates me from the neighbor behind my home is a shared fence that was installed by the developer of the community. The developer is long gone. I assume that jaepez's fence may also be a developer installed fence. Thus, who determines ownership and who has...

    Question of liability

    I've had no response to my question posted under "Negligence, Personal injury" Thus I will restate it here, If a corporation, in this instance a Homeowner's Association, pays for the upkeep of private property not belonging to the corporation does that create a potential liability of being...

    Entertainer's Contract Obligations at a Private Event

    You have misunderstood the contract wording. It stipulates, "If the event is rescheduled, there is a $25.00 rescheduling fee". That means that if you request a rescheduling prior to the day of the event you may do so with an additional charge of $25.00. You, though, cancelled on the day of...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks Charged with fraud?!?

    This is a legal forum for U.S. law, not international. Yet, since I'm not an attorney that probably doesn't matter much! Though your employer thinks you "stole" the time and wants the money back, there is no fraud on your part if there was no intent to steal. The employer created an...

    Premises Liability Indirect liability

    Our community owns and maintains one lake. There is a second lake which is owned by the homeowners bordering the lake. The property lines reach to the center of this lake and there is no public access to this lake. I have just learned that the new Board of Directors of our homeowner's...
