Please do not just tell me to get a lawyer or look in a patents office. This is obviously what Yahoo answers is for.

on monday,i received a voicemail stating i was being sued.i called the number back and the "lawyer" i spoke to said providian was suing me for "x" amount.then the "lawyer" changed the amount to"y" $. finally, i agreed on "z"$ to keep it out of court. i paid $100 over the phone monday during the conversation. the rest was to be paid on the 31st. after doing some research and talking to several people, i found out this whole thing is a fraud. i have already reported them to the ftc and the attorney general. i am going to talk to the bank today about getting the 100$ back,if not,at least stop them from getting the rest on the 31st.(i sent a postdated check). yes,i did have a credit card with providian,but it has been taken off my credit report.(statue of limitations) can they still sue? on what grounds? should i sue for harrassment? there has been no proof for what i owe.(bill,statements,etc.). the last time i paid was april 2001,which was the last time they sent a bill.

Here goes the story. I was heading to work. The road conditions were normal, it was a sunny day around 5 PM (Rush Hour).
We were headed southbound on a 3 lane highway.
Traffic was moving about 35 - 40 miles per hour.
Next thing I know the guy in front of me slams on the brakes, but his brake lights do not come on.
So I slam on my brakes but unfortunately it was to late and I slammed into the back of him.
There was 5 cars involved in the crash including me all in a straight line.
When the cops arrive, I notify them that his brake lights come on, he ignores it for the time being. So I tell some of the other drivers and a couple of them go to check the lights and they see they are not working. So again I go and tell the cops this but they completely ignore the fact.
They cite me with the ticket and even let the guy with no brake lights drive away.

Is there a way I can fight this to prove that I was not at fault??

The accident happened in Maryland

I am currently covered by a state-enhanced version of Medicare; my family is extremely low-income and this health coverage is far superior to that offered by the private graduate school I will be attending this fall. However, the school is not accepting my waiver form saying that government insurance does not meet the school's waiver qualifications (only employer insurance programs do). Can they do this to me and make me pay thousands of dollars I don't have for redundant school health insurance I don't need? Anyone knowledgeable enough to know whether this is something I can fight legally? The school and my insurance are in NJ.

If the hours that I worked during the 4/29-5/12 pay period I had 40 hours the week of the 4/2h, but only worked 24 hours the week of the 5/6, since I did not work FT hours both weeks charter made the change to PT status effective 4/29 since the change had to occur at the beginning of a pay period. Why could they not have done it mid week or after the second week. Since I worked 40 hours the first week I think that I deserve the status for the week that I was FT I am not getting the benefits that charter promised me. Can someone help me through this to figure something out.

Yes, I have the original bill of PO fees payments, after that I talked to a friend who works as Deputy-GM in the same field of industries.

He LOVED the invention and said it's a brilliant one, He wanted it to be manufactured right away, and planing to invite me on a meeting within 3 day's with the GM.

BUT how to convince such hard-headed, old-stylish GM if he asked me: There is no prove that you own the patent yet! How can you rent or sell it to us?

Please HELP me to reply if above question will be asked, so to be ready for unexpected surprises!!

BTW: I just can't wait approx 2 years to get the final Certificate then to start working it out, I really should manufacture it ASAP.

Thanks to every contributer and reader. ByeForNow

I had moved into a room in a house with my own bathroom, living with the landlady. She had done nothing to clean/prep the room or the bathroom for my movein. The room carpet was not vacuumed. The rug in the bathroom looked like it hadn't been washed in years. The bathroom floor was peeling up where it met the walls. Everything was dirty. I didn't want to complain, so I didn't ask for anything to get fixed or cleaned. I just learned to adjust to things. She never did the initial inspection for move-in with me. She didn't offer and I forgot about it.
But ever since I gave my 30-notice to move-out, she has been giving me all kinds of problems. I overheard her to talking to someone about damages and about being the victim. (I had called the police on her this weekend for spitting on me and 3straight days of harassment).
I think that she wants to remodel the bathroom because the guys said something about 3 months. Can she really make me pay for all this? Email for details.

is that amount usually in addition to the auctual expenses or does it include them? Also, if the claim is being paid by one's own insurance company (uninsured motorist coverage), is it necessary to seek an attorney's advice before settling?
