You may have a civil case. Your best bet would be to contact a lawyer in your area and seek legal advice. Unfortunately, something that is allowed in one state is not allowed in another state and it gets confusing to keep track. Have you tried contacting the dealership and questioning them...

You have rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The collector cannot falsly identify themselves, intimidate you, or threaten to put you in jail. Follow the link below and seek legal advise. This is a civil matter, but if it is only $1500 that is in question you can file in small...

I don't know what the requirements for legal aid are so I can't offer suggestions on that. I have filed a bankruptcy in the past though so I may be able to help in that area. Call around to a few bankruptcy attorneys. They sometimes offer competitive pricing for filing. Is he planning to file...

This may sound strange, but has anyone ever heard of an insurance company working a deal with the customer to split the cost of repair? For instance, the insurance company says they will pay him a certain amount, but that is not enough to cover the cost of repair. What if my brother offered to...

Unfortunately the Carfax guarantee only covers it if the title was branded at one point. It was never actually "branded" as a totalled vehicle as far as I can tell. -Nick

I'm sorry, I failed to tell you where this happened. He is in Lakewood, WA and is serving in the U.S. Army at Fort Lewis.

My brother was involved in an accident about a month ago where another car forced him off the road into a cement barrier. The other driver never stopped. The insurance company had him take his car to a shop (they claim it is the only shop within 100 miles they will work with) for an estimate...

I don't know about Texas law but I know in Utah as soon as you return possession of the vehicle to the customer it becomes a small claims matter. You can however demand payment in full before allowing the vehicle to leave your parking lot and as long as you post notice in your reception room...

Thank you for the advice. I filed a complaint with the FTC and also reported this to my bank. They seemed to be extremely bothered by the actions of the contracted party. I don't think they will continue to use them in the future. Regards, Nick

I had a repo guy call me yesterday morning and identify himself as an inspector with the courts in order to obtain my current address. He later showed up at my house in an unmarked black pickup truck with two of his friends and tried to take my car. He didn't have any paperwork at all. I...

Rents have been paid, there is no money owing, and I received no notice of any problem, yet the landlord cut the lock off of my storage unit, entered and inspected the unit and left the unit unlocked leaving my broken lock laying on the ground. Is this breaking and entering even if the...

This is the contract. Body Works Unlimited looked at this as per the terms of the contract and turned the repair away stating there was more work that needed to be done than his shop could accomodate. I asked him to explain that and he said he doesn't take jobs where a complete repaint needs to...

In addition to the above post, I thought that one a picture is taken of something, that image is the intellectual property of the photographer. -Nick

lol, very true. But do you think this is the kind of publicity Ford needs right now. The big bad bully pushing around the little guy? -Nick

This post was made to a Mustang forum - http://www.bmcforums.com/showthread.php?t=42402 Members of this forum are trying to publish a calendar with pictures of their personal vehicles and the Ford legal department is blocking them saying it is an infringement of Ford's copyright and trademark...

Yes it is. Sorry I didn't mention that before.

I have a contract with a local mechanic to perform some repairs on a vehicle of mine in exchange for a classic car I own. As a stipulation, he requested that the classic be stored in his shop as collateral on the deal. The work he performed is seriously under par and he has now violated the...

never mind, found information elsewhere. -Nick

I am involved in a case right now involving a landlord/tenant problem. We have already been to court once and I am now in the appeal process. Here is a quick summary. I moved out of a duplex at the end of my lease. During the same week, my neighbor who lived in the other side of the duplex...
