I don't think there are any Massachusetts consumer protection lawyers on here. My two cents: yeah, maybe - it sounds like it could qualfify as a "deceptive act or practice in the conduct of any trade or commerce". What then? I'm not sure what action arises from this breach of the statute.

It might not be regular practice, but it's not unheard of. I'd ask to see an itemized account, and see why it is that amount. You can certainly fight it if you disagree with it.

I am assuming that Sco--- is the grantor? And you are the grantee? What the papers mean, and whether they are valid, are two entirely different things. The papers essentially mean that the grantee is the owner of the land, subject to some exceptions. (One of the exceptions, (c), is...

Nope, that's about it. I think your attorney is making about the best argument available in the situation. Good luck.

Good points. I was under the impression she did not benefit that much from the cable - I see I may have been mistaken.

I'm getting mixed signals here. 1) Your mom's will says the shares are to be split between the niece and daughter when they turn 21. 2) Your mom had a Transfer on Death on those same shares to your sister. Is that correct? If so, these purport to deal with the shares in conflicting ways...

Well done. :)

If the cops have recognized their complaints are frivolous, that's 90% of the battle. As far as them phoning you directly, block their number. If they personally harass you, try calling the cops on THEM. But simply standing around threateningly is no grounds for anything, really. You might...

He might be, but he'll have to fight for it. The shares were owned by your mom, not your dad. On the face of it, she's allowed to transfer the shares as she chooses; he has no say in the matter. In the circumstances - him paying a share of the taxes on the dividenc - MAYBE he has acquired...

I'm curious about how they lied. Opposing counsel is entitled to paint your work history in as favourable or unfavourable a light as they choose, but they cannot misrepresent it. If they "made you look like a gold digger", that may not be a lie - that may just be artful presentation of the...

Whether Time Warner is entitled to withhold cable service from her is governed by her contract with Time Warner. I'm not sure what that says about this situation, but I would not be surprised if Time Warner had the right to terminate her contract at any time for any reason. That doesn't mean...

Not unless you misrepresented some material fact about the car.

This sounds unusual to me, especially since the personal representative has indicated that the money IS owed. Was she given any reason why the claim was disallowed? I would submit the claim again, with whatever documentation she can muster about the agreement and the work she performed.

It sort of changes my opinion - at least, there is some ambiguity here. I can see why your attorney is arguing what they are arguing. Are those quoted paragraphs? Is there anything that might possibly be germane where those ellipses are? A court interpreting this will try to give meaning...

Good luck to you. Try to reason it out civilly with Ann before you lawyer up. :)

If it's the creditor calling you, not a collection agency, you are sort of SOL. You can politely tell them that you are working to pay off the bill, and if they persist in calling you at work, they may succeed in annoying your employer to the point of jeopardizing your employment, which would...

Sounds like this will be uncontested, then. If you and the wife can settle everything between you, consider a DIY divorce. There are many good resources on the internets. Here is one...

This is far too vague for anyone to do anything other than speculate. What exactly did you agree? What does "may be deducted" mean? Maybe, but maybe not? Why one but not the other? I suspect you might be within your legal rights to deduct something - "a reasonable amount", perhaps - but...

Duplicate post, answered in the Vehicles forum.

They're in the same position you were: buyer beware. It is understood that used cars are sold as is. http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/usedcar.html
