    Do you need a special license to buy and collect debt?

    I understand that companies that do this are the scum of the earth and would like to laws to change to not allow for this kind of thing. However, I am not trying to make a business of this but rather get justice for someone who was trampled by some dishonest individuals. I am not planning on...

    Do you need a special license to buy and collect debt?

    I don't want to make a business of it but rather just want to buy 1 single debt. Its a complicated situation that is kind of upside down from the normal way of things. The creditor in this situation was someone thrown out to the street by intimidation and the "deadbeat" is a multi...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    The black customer had the tip added because the restaurant owner said that black people never tip. I had a friend who worked as a waitress who told me she worked a table with like 6 black guys and they only gave her like .25 cents tip. I was very upset to hear this. HOWEVER, my issue is not...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    My issue is not with them adding the tip to the bill but rather with my ability to not pay that tip if I feel there is horrible service. Also, where I'm from we have like a restaurant week( like in N.Y.) which they give you a special menu with specials on it along with the normal menu. I did...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    Do you have any case law in which people have been sued or jailed for failing to pay a automatic tip. I found 2 youtube video on news reports. 1. Case resulted in a class action lawsuit against the restaurant for added the tip to begin with and the restaurant told the news the customer was...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    We did inform a manager/supervisor but just got a dirty look and a shoulder shrug. In the US we have a culture of customer service and fairness however there are other countries where the attitude is like " take it or leave it" without consideration to making things right. This manager/...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    I did not really have any place to go afterwards, but still absurd amount of time to wait. The dishes were also dirty, and the food tasted like left over garbage. Probably my worst restaurant experience in the past 15 years but the real question is the legality of the paying the automatic tip...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    Party was only 4 people. I have eaten out at restaurants all the time and this was the first time I actually considered walking out on the check and just leaving. It was for Lunch too not even dinner. Imaging if you took off for work on your lunch break and returned over 3 hours later. Your boss...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    I thought the judge will only do legal fees if one side is obviously wrong Many people believe its illegal to even add a tip automatically to a bill and in fact one black guy even called 911 over it. Most people think a tip is optional so I think it might be considered a gray area of the law...

    Are you legally required to the tip automatically added to your bill?

    So this is a civil not criminal matter? The menu is considered a contract even without any signed papers? Do they have to prove that you were aware of it or just have it posted somewhere? Can I throw a party and have some small sign saying that all attractive females must pose nude for me...

    Do you need a special license to buy and collect debt?

    What is the name of your state? FL. Do you need a special license to buy debt from another person/company? Do you need to be a licensed debt collector or can a private citizen purchase the debt from another private citizen? Thanks.

    What is the name of your state? FL. I normally leave good tips even if the service is average however recently I went to a restaurant in which the waiter had me waiting for almost 3 hours during a lunch break. I was absolutely furious about the poor service and then the bill came with the...
