QUESTIONS

  • I owe a debt to a creditor for medical expenses. The creditor has increased the debt by charging me a penalty for not paying on time. Is this legal? Are all late fees penalties?
  • Must my tenants be present when I conduct the move-out walk-thru even if I feel threatened by them? They are bigger than I and our last conversation consisted of them yelling, using foul language towards me, hanging up, calling me back to continue to be verbally abusive and I heard slamming in the background.
  • I have been living in my apartment for 9 years. The first year, I signed a one year lease and paidnfirat and last months rent and a security deposit of $200. What are my rights when it comes to my security deposit, being a technically month to month renter? Also our landlord is selling the complex... what are my rights in that regard to the security deposit as well? Also, there are rumors it will be sold to an investor that may just tear the complex down... what would my right be in that regard to the security deposits? Is there anything I should know in general about my rights in this situati
  • I have a roommate that is threatening to sue me. If he does, what can I do to protect myself as I am already having financial difficulties?
  • My son was killed by Tucson Police on 4/17/2014 and was not notified. Found out online. I went to retrieve his property and was told I had to wait because case was under investigation and they would let me know when I could retrieve his vehicle. My mom (son grandma) received a letter saying that nobody has come to claim property and in order to retrieve it we have to pay storage. Why do we have to pay anything. They held it for investigation and now want to charge us for it on top of killing my son. What can I do?
  • My car was repossessed back in 98. I have recently recieved court papers stating there is a judgemnt against me. How long do creditors have to try to collect a debt? Does it depend on if they keep selling the debt to different creditors?
  • I purchased a mobile home in Feb from a lady out of state (the mobile home is in apache junction, Az) Previous owner informed the tenants of the sale and asked that they vacate. Its now july and they are still there.. The title was misplaced so i just recently transfered it and served the tenants with a 5 day OMI. They refuse to go.. what do i do now..
  • So my niece got taken away from her mother by cps and was placed with the step father . My brother her dad is in prison is there anyway i can get her back.
  • HOW DO I CANCEL POWER OF ATTORNEY
  • My landlord is withholding all of my security deposit for strange charges I did not know were acceptable. She is charging us for external AC cleaning($350),grass replacement($320),interior paint($880), we filled any holes we made with pictures, we always changed our filter on time, and we had a hired landscaper, how are these items the tenants responsibility and is she allowed to charge us for items that we did not damage, but should be considered wear and tear?
