I am doing a deal with someone who is leaving the country she has Cingular Service for over 4years has 10months remaining on contract and 3K Rollover Minutes, She doesn't want to burn her credit nor pay the cancellation fee. So I offered to accept financial responsibility with this, since she had so many roll over minutes left.

Now I called cingular and asked them how the process works.
They told me to call a number, with Her on the line, She must have them Access her records, then they collect my info, We Both agree.

They Told me a $18.00, Activation Fee Applied (understandable) and 11Months of service would be added to the Contract.. Is this legal, can they do this, or is the rep trying to get a Commision.

The Person With The contract is in Illinois and I am in New Jersey, are there any laws protecting the consumer from Extending Contracts during a Transfer Of Contract...

Thank You!

I am doing a paper on the juvenile prison system and I would like anyone who has ever been or who knows anything about the juvenile prison system to thoughtfully answer the following questions?

Have you or someone you know experience, or view sexual or physical abuse in a juvenile prison. If so, describe the instance(s).

How are the living conditions, rehab programs and other aspects of the prison? Productive?

If you could reconstruct the juvenile prison system, what things would you change and why?

If corporal punishment is considering using violence to get one's way, then why are cops allowed to use it? I mean, parents and teachers aren't supposed to swat kids on the butt, but police can drag people out a car against their will, tackle them to the ground, hit them with batons, and even shoot them. Isn't this a double-standard? I mean, why must parents use a hands-off approach when exercising control but police don't have to? Is it right or wrong to use force to get one's way? If violence begets violence, shouldn't everyone, including police refrain from using it?

The ticket was issued in Wisconsin. About 6 months ago I was caught speeding in Illinois, this was my first ticket. I chose to take a defensive driving course to get the ticket taken off my record. If I choose to go to court for the ticket I just received in Wisconsin, will the judge be able to see that I had a previous ticket? Can I claim that the Wisconsin ticket is my first?

Witness 1 testifies for prosecution about material statements made during a conversation with defendent. Defense wants to put defendant on the stand to testify that witness 1 was lying, he actually threatened defendant.

Witness 1 will just say that defendant's statements are all admissions.

How can we get hearsay witness 1 hearsay admitted?

Witness 1 was available, so cannot use 804. Can we use 803(3)? But witness 1 was not expressing his own state of mind, but threateneing defendant.

I know someone who pled guilty to a sexual assault case two decades ago because the prosecutors were threatening lifetime imprisonment if found guilty at trial but a decade if he pled guilty without a trial and jury, thus saving the state time and money. Although the accusation was false, he was afraid of getting the maximum imprisonment, thus the plea agreement. How does one go about conducting an investigation to reverse such a case? Does the former defendant need to hire an attorney and investigator, or can they ask the state to conduct a DNA test? Or should he just live with his fate, because there's no hope?

I am trying to buy a condo from a Real Estate company and they are offering me $50 thousand cash back. Is this legal?
The condo is going for $700,000 and they will give me $50,000 back at the close of escrow
I understand that it is my $50,000 that they are giving me, but this sounds a little fishy.
Should I be concerned, and is this deal on the level?
Thank you for your time,
Geoff

I have a vet bill from last April for $489.00. I paid $100.00 at the time of service, but did not make another payment till Aug. I have paid off the bill as of 2 wks ago. The vet turn this over to a collection agency in Aug, and the agency says I owe them ,(not the vet), $220.00 plus. And the bill will continue to go up until it's paid. Also they claim they will take me to court if I don't pay, chargeing me for a lawyer and court fee's. This seems illegal! The only contract I signed was at the vet's office and it say's I will be responsible for any cost involving collections. Thanks to all that have a helpful answer! Jo

I won a dresser from an Ebay seller in the Orlando area. He offered to deliver it. I was not home when it arrived, so I agree to Paypal him. When I got home I was shocked that it was trash. It took him a month to finally email asking for payment. Honestly, I thought he was embarassed to ask for it because he knew full well it was trash. This week he threatened me with negative feedback, when I said fine. He is now telling me that Ebay is a legally binding contract and he is going to take me to Small Claims Court. I have no use for this item and told him he can have it back, and he doesn't want it, only the money. HELP!? I contacted Ebay and they cannot answer. They are dealing with the seller on their end. Any ideas??
