I have signed a contract with a national builder last October and my house is one of the last two to be built in this phase (first out of three). I received a letter from the builder saying that, county forced them to change blueprints and my house is losing two windows in the living room. I think it might impact our selling home years down the track. Since the design isn’t what we want anymore is there a way to get out of builder contract? Read More …

A contractor agreed to do some home repair work for me. The contractor gave me the vehicle title to an antique car as collateral for me prepaying for the scheduled work. Work didn’t get done, he claims he cannot repay the funding and the car seems to no longer exist. He will claim he cannot pay and has no assets that can be executed against. How can I discover if the collateralized car does exist? If this car was sold, does a case of contract fraud exist? Can I then file a suit in the criminal court? Read More …

I just purchased a TAG watch from a well known jewelry store last weekend. Two days ago that jewelry store called me and told me that they misquoted the price of the watch and that I owe another 30 dollars on top of what I already paid. The purchase was complete last weekend, I have the receipt to prove it. Can they do this or is the sale final once I get my receipt? Read More …

I entered a drawing for a room makeover from a furniture store (filled out a basic entry form). I won. We went to the store & met with the designer who had a grouping picked out for me. I did not like it. We spent the next 2 hours picking out the furniture we wanted. Then I was contacted by the tv news sponser of the contest and told that our furniture was not approved and that in the rules of the contest, it stated that the furniture was at the discretion of the furniture company. However, I never saw the rules. Do we have any legal rights in this situation to actually get the furniture we want? Read More …

What are my legal obligations here? Do I have to send the book back if I never agreed to receive it in the first place? I don’t really care whether I get to keep the book or not but I don’t want to be constantly receiving this junk and having to spend the time to return it. I figure if they don’t get the first one back they might get the message that no means no. What say you? Read More …
