State: Texas A situation happened to me three months ago and I am currently looking into what I can do with this. I moved into an apartment complex in June of 06. I signed up for electric service with Gexa Energy, per the recommendation of the apartment manager. When I signed up, I told them...

"Are such records protected by FERPA?" You question is a bit vague? Are these records protected from who? If you are asking if the school has a right to keep these records, then the answer is yes. You are using the schools equipment and they have the right to keep logs and copies of...

State: Texas I have a quesiton that I am hoping that somebody will be able to answer. My parents were married in 1971. My father retired in 1994 after working for 28 years for the Texas Highway Department and began receiving his retirement from the state. He passed away in 2001. My mother was...

You are asking two questions: Was it legal to take you down for shoplifting: YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Was the method in which they took you down legal? Maybe, Maybe not. If you are telling us the truth and you were 'struck from behind', then that could be considered assault. My first...

I hate to be so blunt, but there is really nothing you can do. You are just one of thousands of people who are getting defrauded by PayPal. This is how PayPal makes the bulk of their profits. They will freeze the accounts of those of have a large balance in their account and seize it. They will...

More that likely your insurance premium would increase. And even if you get another vehicle sometime in the future, this is still going to be on your insurance record. Since this vehicle has over 100,000 miles, you also need to think about how much longer you are going to have this vehicle. Is...

Legally, the college has every right to withhold your transcripts. And no, they are not your property. The grades could might be considered your property. But the transcripts themselves belong to the college. It is a service provided to you by the school. Sorry.

Several things could have happened. Did you at any time, apply for financial aid at this college? At the college that I work at, when someone gets financial aid, a no-drop flag gets set on their record so that there is time for the financial aid to get posted. Did you have a previous credit...

What is the name of your state? Texas No, I don't have some morbid fetish with cemeteries. I am starting a website where I am going to catalog all of the cemeteries in the Dallas-Fort Worth/North Texas region. I am planning on offering the text inscriptions of every tombstone and marker for...

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER sign anything without checking with a lawyer first. Please, do not sign anything without first checking with a lawyer. No matter who is asking you to sign it, even if it is your own insurance company, you must be very careful. Even if you think that your own insurance...

My grandmother currently lives in Missouri and I live in Texas. I am not familiar with the Missouri law and am hoping that some of you might be able to help me. My grandmother is currently in her mid 80's and is recently widowed. The only thing she owns is a car worth about $10,000 and about...

You will have very little chance of recuperating any of your money from ITT. The problem is that they are not accredited by SACS - the accrediting agency for Texas. So there is really nobody that you can appeal to. These tech schools are really much all the same. They promise a...

Yes, the school will care... It is considered academic dishonesty if you leave off any previous educational history. I work in the Admissions office at a community college in Texas and about once a week we will have somebody from the financial aid office come over and tell us about a student...

I work in a college admissions office near Dallas, Texas. If a student has an account balance for any reason, we will, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, release a transcript. And NO, a college can not split a transcript. We get students all the time who come in and ask if they can have a transcript...
