    Statue of Limitations and Getting Sued

    Normally on any debt the SOL (great double meaning here....) starts after your last contact with them in regards to the matter, not from the time you took out the loan. So 4 years from the date of your last letter to them trying to work all of this out. The best bet is go to court and show the...

    Georgia Move Over Law 40-6-16

    The cops in Georgia love this crap. I understand the purpose of the law, and have no problem with it as it is intended, but it is used too often as a revenue generator. I will never forget a couple years ago, going along I75 near Dalton, GA. Up ahead I saw a cop car on the side of the road...

    Adult website contest

    Why wouldn't it be? There's plenty of porn sites out there, and if it's just picts of breasts and butts, then the content is legal. That would only become a problem if it showed sex acts. But it has been legally ruled that the human body by itself is considered art. The obvious question is...

    Quit Claim

    You will have to follow what the divorce decree states, but if you can quitclaim it to her, I would do it. You are never going to be able to refinance the house unless house values shoot up again. So, if she's willing to quitclaim it and take over fully on the mortgage then you will walk away...

    Fight ticket in far away jurisdiction

    Guys - I think you all missed the point of his question. He didn't want a court date, simply an extension on the time to pay the ticket. Instead of an extension they gave him the court date. You need to contact the court handling this and find out how to proceed.

    APPROX 30 toll tickets... help

    Then your only hope is to go to court and ask the judge if you can pay the fine without the points, or a reduced number. Whether that will work or not is anyone's guess - it depends on the judge. With that many violations, don't count on a reduced fine. But the judge may allow you to a...

    Suing dealership after selling back NEW car?

    If this is damage caused by the dealership, then that would not fall under the lemon laws. The dealer's insurance needs to cover this. Basically they damaged your property. I wouldn't take the buy back offer unless they agree to buy it back at the full price. If they refuse, then take them...

    Collection Agency

    I would contact the insurance commissioner's office in Texas and see what they have to say. I had a sticky mess with my insurance (paperwork snafu from pervious insurance) and my then current company was trying to charge me more. They were not willing to budge.....until the state got involved...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Question about "Gifted" Property

    I would say that in the grand scheme of things you need to just let this one go. All it would take is for your wife to say she gave permission. There's no way to prove in court she didn't unless you have some witness, so unless this upset her as well, who do you think she is going to side...

    Suing dealership after selling back NEW car?

    Question for clarification - what was damaged both to the paint and glass? I can understand something can go wrong with the paint somehow (chemically, etc) but what happened to the glass?

    Google Maps/Citysearch Review & Public Facebook Photos

    Another point to all of this - the OP is an independent contractor. That means that future business could be a problem. If you have burned one of your clients, other potential clients might not look to favorably on this.

    Child Pornography

    The owner of a site is not responsible for content put on the site by a third party. Only the poster. So if your posting here had included an illegal pict, YOU would be the one facing charges, not the site owner. Granted if it's a small site they should be able to moderate better, but even if...

    Google Maps/Citysearch Review & Public Facebook Photos

    You are possibly facing a lawsuit for defamation of character and/or libel. (Slander is spoken, libel is written.) Two parts to this - first sending the photos pretty much speaks for itself as to why this is a problem. And it's very possible that is all you will deal with legally, as they may...

    Medical Malpractice What can I do about a dental injury?

    To start with go find another doctor NOW. Forget this nurse partitioner crap - see a doctor. In fact, I would go to the ER first. You need to get your pain issues taken care of. Next, go find another dentist. If you have to go to another town then do so. Call around, but you will find a...

    Judgment on Credit Report

    Let me clarify something that has already been said. When a collections agency buys the debt, they buy it at a fraction of the original amount you owe. So if the debt was originally $7,000, it probably got bought the first time for about $3,500 or so. Since it has gone on this long with no...

    is this illegal?

    First of all, take a deep breath and relax. Second, tell her to go take a hike. Now let's dissect this a bit. You have not committed any crimes. There was no identity theft. Also, you technically are the copyright holder of the picts. You don't have to register a picture to hold a...

    Apartment complex claims I didn't give notice

    Brush up on the following and contact your state attorney general's office. If you can record one of the calls that would be great. This collections agency has already violated federal law several times. Fair Debt Collections Practices Act FAQ's Fair Debt Collections Practices Act PDF

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft stealing electricity

    They can ask, but just because he wouldn't be able to produce either is no grounds for a conviction. That would be the logic that he has to prove he is innocent. That's not the case - they have to prove he DIDN'T use a generator OR buy the gas. Granted providing such receipts would make his...
