So let me see if I understand this right - in CA someone can break into a house and as long as they don't steal anything or hurt anyone, it's not a felony??? Glad I live in Florida where A- it IS a felony and B- I have the legal right to shoot the intruder based only on the fact they are...

You should be fine as long as you give credit to the original source. Basically you are making it clear you are simply quoting a news source.

Anytime you do an online bill pay with any company the payment account info is stored the same as it was here. And AT&T didn't have any way to know that the info should have been used that one time only. So it's your brother's responsibility to verify what he's doing on line. Also your...

There's really nothing saying that they have to try to fetch a certain price or portion of the price. In other words, they could have sold that car for $5 if they wanted. They want to get as much of their money as they can, so they want to make sure the car sells. You are then on the hook for...

At the core of the issue is you HOA bylaws that you agreed to when you moved into the condo. It probably has a stipulation that they can charge you interest and/or legal fees, so doing so by itself would not be illegal, however as pointed out, $3,700??? Definitely fight that one.

The white line that goes across the road at the intersection is called the stop line. One key question is this - was your vehicle past the stop line before the light turned red? If it was, I would use that as an argument in court.

I would also go tell your boss that you have verbally asked them to stop calling your work (even if you really haven't yet.) Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act they cannot contact you at work if you have told them that you are not allowed to receive such calls at work. And you do NOT...

It really would depend on the terms of your cardholder agreement. Also, they may not be able to call this new charges, but there is nothing illegal about them jacking up the interest rate in the first place.

The same as an agency. See the links below: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf

I would contact your sate attorney general's office on this one. I would say they are out of luck since they refunded the money before they verified payments from the insurance company, but being a medical situation you may still be responsible for payment, being similar to if your doctor's...

Actually you need to think back one step in the process, and that is, the creditor cannot just go to your bank and have your account frozen. They have to go to court and get a judgment against you. If you do in fact owe the debt, then go to court and explain your side to the judge that you...

The card should still be an unsecured card, the same as a Vias/MC. In other words, unless there is some stipulation the cardholder agreement, they cannot threaten to report the items stolen. As for your friend, if the friend was not an actual account holder on this, then they are in...

They are getting out of bounds here. Check out these two links: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf When you say it's a "Private label" credit card, what exactly do you mean? Was this a store credit card, or a...

First question - at a church, if the church members sing a song, or perform the song on an instrument in the church, and the church puts it's sermons on it's website, would there be an infringement? Secondly, I'm wanting to start doing a wedding videography business. The question here has to...

I don't know about putting a trademark on it, but you could still sell the items. Those two items are simply your material supplies for the final product.

I was starting an online business last year (didn't get off the gorund for several reasons). I can't recall right off the office for this, but what was stated was that you don't have to file for an official trademark, but it can help in court. But if you have been using that name in commerce...

The other day at work someone said they knew of a way to beat points on your license if you get a ticket, and hence, your insurance won't go up. Let me preface this by saying I think he's full of it, but stranger things have happened, so I will pose the situation here and see what everyone...

About the only way you are going to get this resolved is to go to court. However 9 months later, I would imagine it has escalated to a warrant for your arrest. So, I would contact a traffic attorney and go from there. Their fees are generally reasonable, and although it is extra money, you...

First of all, if you are stopped at a red light, and an officer is behind you, watch what they do - look at your car, look down, back at the car, back down - they are running your plate number. And if your car was stolen, you'd be quite glad they did. Yes, it is legal to run the plate and vin...

This is an old scam that people keep pulling. As you said first mistake, second mistake, etc. The other part of this is, I will 100% guantee that the check is not even a real check, so to answer that part of your question about the person on the check being responsible - they don't exist...
