    Sue customer for not releasing the storage unit

    What were the terms of the rental agreement? Usually with a storage rental you have the right to break the lock and sell the contents if they don't pay, but that would have to be in the rental agreement.

    Midas charged me for unnecessary timing belt replacement

    It would be an uphill battle in court. I would contact you local TV news first. That at least is free. The problem is, regardless of what Honda reccomends, you did sign to have that work done. And as long as they did the work that you signed for, you really wouldn't have much of a case...

    Huge Mistake, needing help!

    As long as you pay the money back, you should be fine. She gave you the money outright. It is true that you misrepresnted the use of the money, so that could be considered fraud. However, I'm assuming that the two of you are not in the same area. Once you've paid the money back it would be...

    Huge Mistake, needing help!

    The problem is you left out the most important details. What were the terms of her giving you that money? Why did she? Was it a loan? Etc, etc. That's the part we need to know in order to answer your question.

    Parole, Probation Adjudicated Youthful Offender at age 18. Once my probation ends, can I own an a gun?

    The gun background checks ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony. If you were never convicted, then you should be just fine. In fact, if you still have the right to vote, then that means you still have your civil rights, which would include gun ownership.

    In Texas, Bankruptcy or not paying?

    Call and try to work out a settlement with them. If you end up really and truly drowning in the debt, then you may want to consider bankruptcy, but that should be an absolute last resort. Generally credit cards will allow you to close the account, and just pay the interest. Some will put a...

    Trying to resolve mom's long-term financial problems

    Her credit report is about as good as you can get for knowing what accounts she has opened. Are you 100% sure on the ID theft? This would mean there is something there that she is sure she did not open. If there is not, then she is damn lucky. But that very well could be the case, so be...

    Financial aid mistake

    Call you local TV news staiton. They love these things and the school will not. If that doesn't work out call a lawyer. You might have to pay a fee for the lawyer, but it also might be worth it. You problaby wouldn't have to go to court. Just a letter from a lawyer might be enough to get...

    Trying to resolve mom's long-term financial problems

    If you are dealing with bill collectors (and I'm sure you are, or her anyway) brush up on this. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf This is the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, which is the federal laws for debt collector behavior. Bankruptcy should always be a...

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Self Defense?

    It doesn't matter who owned the house. The bottom line is the gunman was not some random stranger who broke in. He was part of the setup. Regardless of all of that, when you deal in drugs, you take risks. This is one such risk. You deal in drugs, you waive your right to self defense...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite I am being fraudulently accused of a personal injury claim.

    I would say that she is setup to loose this one. You need to try to contact the animal control officer that delt with this, that saw her arm right after and have him or her come to court to testify. She will then possibly be facing perjury charges. Also, I would see about filing a...

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Self Defense?

    Well, keep in mind that you shouldn't be buying weed to begin wtih. Anything can go wrong wit a drug deal. But regardless, as I said, in this case the gunman was part of the deal. So it's not like they were doing a drug buy and some random guy broke in.

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Self Defense?

    If a regular drug deal was going down, and someone came up and robbed the parties involved in the drug deal, I could see this being on the fence. I don't think you'd win since the law says you can't if you are buying or selling drugs, but I could see someone at least trying to use that as a...

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Self Defense?

    I just went and checked on Florida statutes, and the situation you listed wouldn't fly in Florida either. The law can be found here: FLA Stand your ground law Specifically under home defense it states situations as not authorized to use force: "The person who uses defensive force is...

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Self Defense?

    Anty - I beleive you are misinterperting what the 14th says. It doesn't mean that the law will apply equally to situations, it means the law applys equally to every person. So, in this case, it would have been unconstitutional if they would charge the buyer, but the seller would be allowed...

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Self Defense?

    What are the situations listed? Also, what happened? You don't have to give names, etc, but a bit more detail would help. Your second amendment rights are the right to bear arms. But that doesn't mean you always have the right to shoot. In Florida it used to be that people had "a duty...

    Garnish Social Security

    No, they cannot garnish it. Any type of government funded payments are exempt such as social security or a government funded pension plan. If you are asking just out of curiosity, then so be it. However if you are asking because the collections agency threatened to do so, they are in...
