I bought a quad from a person, long story short. He took the money, never paid off the loan. The bank owns the quad and is going to repo. the ATV.

Is there a legal way I can go about getting the account information and copy of information for proof that the account was never paid off? I have been in contact with the bank and they know who I am, but can I legally get that information for proof in court?

Do I get pictures and a written contract/letter that the quad was repo'd for failure of "previous owner" breach of contract?

I am suing for the amount I paid him (2500). Can I also sue him for the amount of the background check I had to buy to get his address and phone number since he lied about his location?

Any other ideas would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

I believe that casinos have been cheating Horse Race Bettors. What do I need to file a lawsuit. Will I need to prove that I personally have lost money or just show how they are cheating to file the lawsuit?

According to what I just read on Yahoo News, according to some in Congress if you're a black convicted felon on probation, and you and a couple of your black buddies beat a white guy for supposedly putting a noose in a tree, you should not have your probation violated and sent back to jail.

If I am a convicted white patriotic felon on probation and I beat up somebody for burning the American flag, will Congress also back me and say I should not be sent back to jail for violating my probation?

pictures (movie) of the act & even admitted doing it?? Why not just throw him in jail till he rots with all the others just like him instead of giving money to a bunch of lawyers out to make a name for themselves @ the expense of the taxpayer who could use the money in other ways to give better education & health care for starters.What a waste----i'd be ashamed if i had to be a lawyer to make a living like that.

I just want to thank all who have answered me, I think I have a clear picture of what I need to do and I am not so threatend about them taking my car, I would never sell this car, it is a gem, only 58 thousand miles on it, I am 61 years old and plan to drive it till it dies, I most definately am going to fight them to the death, because noone ever contacted me and the total of the medical bills is about 1300 , one is an er charge for 675, which I paid the 50 co-pay, it is a sad thing in this country when even if you do have medical ins you never know what you really have or if they will pay, I was in a car accident so the er trip was not bogus. I hate ins companies and I hate that a medical instituation is trying to take what little I have, I called the atty and I wrote the atty to no avail, so when the dust settles, I will have my friend who is an atty deal with them , thank all of you so much!!!!!!

I need to know where i stand legally. Up until last Friday the staff at where i work (in a care home) were allowed to leave work premises on our unpaid breaks to have a cigarette. Our employer has now put a stop to this and i would like to know if that is allowed? on our contract, it states that we have to stay on work premises for the duration of our shift, but does not state staying there on our break. Our breaks are unpaid and feel that we are being treated wrongly because we smoke. Do i have any rights here? What does the law say? can my manager do this to us? i need as much info as possible please. I want to fight this. Ive been told that if we was to go outside on our break now, it is a sackable offence!

I work in Pennsylvania with children with disabilities. I get paid only for the time I spend with clients, not for travel time or time spent doing paperwork. I've worked there for about 6 weeks, I gave them my 2 weeks notices last week. My boss is telling me that I have to redo a lot of my paperwork, which I don't get paid to do. If I don't redo all of the paperwork, can they not pay me?

Heres the short description... I was out for a week for medical reasons. I went back w/a note. A wk. later teacher informs me that they never got the note (when I know they did) I said I would get them a note in about a wk. When I had another Docs appt. 2 days later she says she needs that note or I won't be able to have LOA (the hours credited to me) at this point she has gotten derogatory, degrading and mean. We then had a loud verbal arguement. I left school, called the asst director and complained.(about my note and drug use in the school, cigarrette breaks the teacher had, ect) I go back yesterday... guess what? they found my note IN MY FILE. The supervisor then says that because I made false allegations (all of the other stuff I complained about) she will let me know by friday if she is going to terminate me. if she terminates me I lose my financial aid and I have to pay the $11 thousand to the school. Do I have any legal right 2 take them to court? Sue?

Please click the link and read, and then answer me this - if the other person is dead, how can they get a marriage licence?

My friend is the one commented on that she should "mind her own business", and I have comments at the end.

I would like opinions and any advice as to how to help my friend through this troubled time, and if it is legal to acquire a marriage license when the other person is dead!

Simonweb has had what I would guess is about a 60% uptime on our website hosted with them. They no longer answer support emails, we cannot cancel our membership through our settings, and they continue to charge us every month. We have our honeymoon registry and a business portfolio on this site, so besides the money they're taking every month for almost nothing, we're losing money when the site is not up. I've found other people complaining about the same thing online. We've already filed a complaint with the BBB. Can we sue?

I recently went to a photo place in the mall to get bridal shots taken. They explain that the photos taken and bought from them may not be reproduced in any way for any reason - monetary or not. They said the photos will have a marking in them to guard against illegal copies being made. I'm ok with all that, but was curious . . .

If I took the picture to a self-copy machine, like the ones in wal-mart, how will they know? Does the machines have a way to tell the photos are not to be reproduced? Would a person who uses a machine like this get in trouble? Or do they just say that to get people to buy the copies from them and not to reproduce them?

If you have worked at a place like this and know the truth to this curiosity, please let me know. Thanks!
