My sister is having some trouble with a former housemate.
After Sharon's husband died, Terri moved in to help with the bills. About a year later, Sharon moved out to live in another state. Terri made the house payment, lot rent and utilities as well as some repairs.
After four years and now that the mobile home is paid off, Sharon wants to sell it out from under my sister.
They never made a formal agreement or had a written contract, it was just friends helping friends. I don't think Sharon's name is on the mobile home deed and she never made any payments on the mortgage.
While Terri was at work, Sharon taped "For Sale" signs on the house which Terri took down.
What are Terri's options?
I know this is more a question for a lawyer but I'm hoping someone has some ideas on where she should start.

I was told you pay the higher of the two, but I was also told you pay both. Which is correct?

I have an agreed over draught of £100 which basically translates to a loan which is interest free. What I want to know is, if this is my agreed overdraught limit ie the amount I am allowed to go into the red on my current account then why does my bank allow me to dip just a little over this limit so that i have to start paying interest on this extra amount. Worse still they charge £28 for going over my AGREED LIMIT . Is it me or is this not a touch unfair.

Its like the bank is thinking ' well this poor guys got no money so lets penalise him for it.'

My partners parents have bought a house and we are paying half the mortgage, (so renting really). Today our fence fell over due to a storm, we called his parents telling them and asking them about home insurance and she said they haven't got inurance on this house and that it was up to us. I also thought that when you received a loan for a new house or car that you were required by the agreement to take out insurance. I pay for contents insurance but thats not going to help us at the moment. I just need to know where I stand with this one.

I am purchasing a condo and am supposed to close on 9/21/2007, but my mortgage broker contacted me yesterday to say that the title company has an issue because they say there are two judgements against me, which are literally not possible. How can I resolve this so that it does not interfere with me buying my home?

The judgements are by two credit card companies, Discover and Capital One, but the only line of credit I've ever had since 18 (I am now 24) is with Visa through Wells Fargo. I've never had any type of retail store charge card or any other form of credit so these judgements clearly are either false or are against someone else with the same name.

Neither one appeared anywhere on my credit reports. I don't understand how the title company can think these are against me if they aren't on my credit report because they're from credit card companies!

I wonder how typical this is and if it is cause for concern or if this is something my mortgage broker can clear up.
