Say I borrow your bike and have an accident. You are a bike dealer and are familiar with the cost associated with fixing this bike. We look over the damage and concur that it is slightly damaged and should cost about a $100 to fix. A couple months later you fix the bike and send a bill for $1000. Is the person entitled to the $1000?
What if the bike dealer rents out these bikes as a business and the bike was never in that great shape to begin with. Can the dealer replace a whole bunch of parts with new parts actually costing $1000 or would he have to consider the depreciation and condition of the existing bike when calculating what you actually owe him. For example if one of the frames was already dented and you put another dent on the same frame, can you be made responsible for the replacement of the frame as if it were brand new?

I rented a place that was in crappy "as is" condition and the landlord knew the place was not in good condition + had carpet issues when I moved into it. Now that I have tried to find out what happened to my deposit, he is trying to charge me for the SAME carpet damage that was there when I moved in. He is now harassing me because he knows im 7 months (high risk) pregnant and hes trying to strong arm me into giving him $236 for new carpet. Even though he still has my $300 deposit. AND hes trying to make me pay $60 to have the carpet cleaned. This landlord never did a check in sheet or a walk through when I left. What can I do?

What other strange and / or outdated laws are still in place ?

(And no I am not lying about the cab things. It's true. Still in place from when horses and carts were used as transport - the law just hasn't been changed yet. If a copper WANTED to, he - or she - could book you for it!)

I signed up for a nine month promotion for $72.99/month with Adelphia. I was charged an extra $35.00 on my next bill when Comcast took over. I've talked to nine representatives. Three of which said my bill would be corrected. Last night I talked to someone who said it wouldn't be. I cancelled my service. Today I talked to a rep who said that I should have been informed that my promotion wouldn't have transferred over. I was never told or I would have never signed up period. I'm going to the local store today to complain not that it will do any good. I've also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. What can I do so I don't have to pay what these crooks charged me with?

I volunteer at a regional theatre doing both on-stage and off-stage work. Recently there has been a change of middle-management among the paid employees and new sets of "rules" began floating around. Among these rules were various lists that volunteers were asked to sign or they couldn't volunteer. I have volunteered at a variety of organizations over the years and have never seen this. I say its a waste of time, at best and a violation of my rights at worst. For instance, agreeing not to imbibe alchohol while working is great, but an addict/alcoholic is going to imbibe no matter what they sign.
Included among these various papers to sign was a medical waiver, authorizing the theatre to perform and santion medical procedures, this worried me as it leaves the theatre open to lawsuits.

Last night I came home to answer a message on my call answer. It said I had acted wrong and had done something wrong and the person was having to go to India to correct the mistake at a cost of $20,000. in Dec. It also said that because I had said"countme out as a friend " because I did not want to deal with a certain issue the person had taken "legal proceedings to completly take me of their list o friends" and that I would be receiving the legal papers in a few days.
What that mean???? Are they suing me for money or are they removing me from their will or what??
How do I deal with this all ? The person is angry with me for 2 reasons..... 1. doing something and acting wrongly and
2. saying somethig they did not like and perhaps thinking I do not like them any longer.
can i correct all this now??? How????

My sister rented a flat to me and my wife. We paid rent every month, but when we had a problem, e.g.server flooding, my sister refused to do anything. When we left the property, she claimed she had no knowledge we were leaving, and attacked us over the phone because the of the state of the flat - I repaired most of the wallpaper but there was nothing I could do with the carpet. She racially abused my partner on the phone and threatened us. We went to the police because we were scared as she has a history of violence. She later took us to court claimining £5000,and was awarded £1805. We have paid £400 but although she agreed to let us have our property worth £1250, she has denied us access, and won't answer us, even through a solicitor. Can we ignore any further payments to her as she has has £400 plus has kept property worth £1250. I don't think we should be liable for anything else, what does anyone else think? Should we pay? We don't have the money!

I have met this guy at a mechanic shop, we exchanged numbers and became sort of friends. He then proposed to do a small business with m by buying damaged cars, and since he is a mechanic he will fix the cars and sell these cars and split the profit. We started by me giving him $4,000 to buy that 2001 Honda accord. He took the money from me and now is claiming that the money got stolen.
After a really bad argument, I took him and went to a lawyers office, prepared something sort of a contract agreement saying that I have lent him $4000 as a loan and to b e paid back to my over a period of 8 months at equal monthly installments of $500. This contract has been witnessed by a lawyer and notarized by a notary public.
If this guy default? What should I do?
If I go to court and claim against him having this contract as a support, and he tells the judge he has no money to pay me back, how do I get my money back?
Does he go to jail? Any help please!

My checking account is getting garnished so I stopped all direct deposits on it. I'm moving them over to my mother's account at the same bank. I'm not a signer on the account for her at all and she will give me the cash each month to pay my bills. I tried going to get legal help but everyone told me nothing can be done except bankruptcy which I can't afford or stopping direct deposit. The credit company wont even work with me. Can they still sieze my paycheck even if its being deposited into someone elses account in which I'm not a signer on? She banks at the same bank I do but that's it. I'm fine with them garnishing my wages but the checking account will put me on the streets real quickly. It may be safer to have the check direct deposited into my father's checking account at another bank. Please if you have any ideas of whether or not they can do this or I should switch everything over to my father's account please let me know.
