It is your word against the dealer's word as to whether the "buyer's guide" was or was not in place on the vehicle. Violating an FTC rule is illegal, if that rule applies in your case. However, a violation (even if it was proven) does not necessarily void the Purchase and Sales agreement that...

Well...wouldn't there be some liability because the mfr. claims that the jacket protects against demons (in the winter)? :D Or, does the mfr. have little to worry about because there is little or no legal definition as to what does and does not protect against demons? ;) Or, should the...

Nope. I'd rather watch you correct me. That's more fun. :D

Ouch. I saw a bumper sticker on a car once that said "Oh no, not another learning experience!" You can file a complaint with your state DMV. Filing a complaint is just that, filing a complaint. It does not mean that you will see any results from your filing. The dealer did not do anything...

If a court determines that the seller knew about the problem before the sale, then the seller is responsible. There is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence that will indicate to a judge that you knew the engine had issues. Oil leaks, timing belt replacement, and overall inspection are not...

a. Even if we pay the balance and close the account, what sort of damage will remain on our credit rating? Would paying the balance or a negotiated lower payoff be the best way to go? That depends on what you can afford in terms of cash, and what can you afford in terms of hits on your...

Check with the Guidance department of your high school. They will know what sorts of jobs you can do at age 15.5, and may even have the names of employers that are currently looking for some after-school help. Best of luck!

Wow so your telling me there's no legal manuever I can take to have such offenses expunged or taken off? Even if they took placec some ten years a go, at best 7 yeras ? If, 10 years ago, you earned a Bachelor's degreee, would you expect your degree to "drop off?" After all...most people are 22...

In order to claim for lost wages, you need to show convincing proof of legal damages. If you can't convince your own (potential) attorney of your damages, it is unrealistic to think you will convince the opposing attorney of your damages. If this is something that you want to pursue, then you...

You can: 1. Report the whole thing to the police, settle the matter in a proper manner, and face the consequences of driving without a license and not maintaining compulsory insurance. You may need an attorney, as those are likely to be criminal charges in WA. You face the charges, the...

Massachusetts is not a community property state: there is no automatic determination that a spouse owns exactly 50.0% of anything that is jointly owned. I'd suggest consulting with a qualified attorney about asset protection. A car accident is not the only way that an ordinary citizen can be...

If you sold a car to someone KNOWING that they were not properly licensed or insured, you may be found liable. Consult an attorney.

If she sold you the car, but hasn't turned over the title, that may be considered a form of auto theft in your state. If you have a bill of sale, this will strengthen your case. Call the police IMMEDIATELY and report the mess.

It could be true. It does not seem very consistent for a person to say that they were badly hurt in an accident...bad enough to not be able to work for a few days...but, somehow, not be hurt badly enough to want to be checked out by a doctor.

Cars can hydroplane regardless of condition of tires. Speed, use of cruise control, can all be a factor. Nonetheless, as a driver, it is your responsibility to maintain control of the vehicle that you are driving. As you were the driver, this will likely affect your insurance.
