Just remember that if you get a judgment, it doesn't guarantee payment. You will probably have to fight him to get your money back. All the same, you seem to have a strong case. -Nick

Where are you located? -Nick

Verbal agreements are admissible in court. The catch is that a small claims judgment can only be awarded for monies, not services. Write the contractor a letter stating your intent to take legal action if he doesn’t honor his warrantee. Make copies of the recorded conversations and include...

I would suggest communicating with the company lawyer. Let them know about the other people in the office that take the company vehicle home. I think it will probably be less expensive for the company to defend you in court than it would be for them to pay a judgment after you sue them. I...

Definitely write a letter. Don't rely on having them call you back. A phone call is much harder to submit as evidence in a court case than a letter you sent to them disputing their action. Good luck. -Nick

Well I don't know what your lease says, but mine has a statement explaining that only the people listed on the lease can live in the unit. If yours says something similar, suggest that one of her friends take your place on the lease. -Nick

Between court fees and the cost of a lawyer, you will probably spend more than $5,000 taking this sort of thing to court considering that Ticketmaster is HUGE. If Ticketmaster informed you of a limit before the sale you don't really have anything on them. It is bad that it took them a month to...

First of all, if it was written, it is libel, not slander. Second, it is generally difficult to prove libel. Three criteria must be met. The statement must be communicated to someone else; the nonessential third party. It must be harmful to the reputation of the person the statement refers...

Sorry, a quick addition... It didn't sound to me like the only issue was the fireplace. It sounded like the parent had prepaid for the childcare then backed off and wanted their money back. "and she said 'oh, no your crazy. You owe me two weeks and i will get that money.'" Is there...

I would personally try to get her to back off. Here is the PA code for a child care business located in a home - http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/055/chapter3290/chap3290toc.html Does this woman have a certificate and has her home been inspected within the past 12 months by the state to...

The only thing he can sue you for is the amount of money he paid you via Western Union. He can't actually do this via JAG because it is a civil matter. If I am not mistaken, JAG only covers cases within the military legal system. I think The best he tcan do is file a small claim. If you both...

Number 3 seems vague. My interpretation of this would include anything you invent while employed by them, regardless of whether it was done on their time or not. Number 5 and 6 also ping the vague meter. Maybe ask them if you can amend the agreement to exclude possible inventions made on...

This is a little different request than what is normally posted in this section. My question is regarding improving the rights of tenants. Right now, at least in the state of Utah, there is only one law on the books protecting the rights of a tenant. This law is about deposits and the procedure...

The landlord filed with a collection agency. At this point they can file against your credit regardless. I think the safest course of action to keep your credit rating from getting dinged is to pay the collection agency and file a small claim against the landlord to reclaim your money. -Nick

I would write a letter to the billing agency explaining that the charges should be billed through Medicaid. Include a copy of the insurance card for the time period in question (proving that you were actually covered), and even see if you can get the instructions for how to submit the bill...

This statement implies you had prior knowledge of a limit. If you were aware of such a limit and you exceeded it, you are liable. It doesn't really matter that Ticketmaster allowed you to do it. I would guess that Ticketmaster had a statement on the order page explaining the limit and it...

The state's attorney filed a motion with the court to dismiss the case and it was granted by the judge. That means the case was dropped and no judgment was entered. Does that make sense? -Nick

Taking a mechanic to court is a joke in my experience. They can justify any repair they make which creates a problem proving they did something wrong. I ran into this earlier this year. You can file a case in small claims but unless you can show the original mechanic did nothing to fix the...

I guess the first question would have to be this: Why did you leave your stuff with a "crazy ex?" The problem you are likely to run into is that you have to prove the stuff is yours. Any civil action against the ex will fall on its face if that person denies the property belongs to you. Do...

I don't know if it is different by jurisdiction, but I am pretty sure they have to give you 24 hours notice before entering the property. If they come into your home without notice I would call the police. -Nick
