Legal Answers
129 Questions Answered
- Q. A contractor won't honor their own promo. What can I do?
- A: There is nothing wrong with the first two answers that have been given to you, but I am going to give you an answer that comes from an entirely different direction. Why would you still consider doing business with this company? You simply can't trust them. The way they handled this shows you exactly who they are. I think that finding this out now is a lucky break for you. Better to find out now that they are unscrupulous and take your business elsewhere, than to find it out after your roof is missing that the contractor is unreliable. The lowest price is not always the best price.
- Q. Is my unborn baby considered part of California's Median Family Income? Or does that start at birth?
- A: In California the prevailing policy is to determine household size by the number of "heads on pillows." Hopefully it won't make any difference whether you count the baby. If it makes a difference, then wait to file, if possible, until after the baby is born. Or else file now, with the inclusion of a written statement of "special circumstances." The law says: "(ii)In order to establish special circumstances, the debtor shall be required to itemize each additional expense or adjustment of income and to provide— (I)documentation for such expense or adjustment to income; and (II)a detailed explanation of the special circumstances that make such expenses or adjustment to income necessary and reasonable.
- Q. I am being sued by Synchrony Bank for a debt that was already paid. What are my options?
- A: It sounds to me like this contact is a scam. These messages are usually in the form of an email. Email makes it harder to trace the criminal. Did you receive an email? I suggest that you immediately inform the party who contacted you that you do not owe such a debt, and they should immediately provide written verification of the claim with all appropriate written documentation they rely upon to say that you do owe it; and also say that if in fact it turns out that if you ever did owe the claim, the collection of it is now barred by the statute of limitations; and that if they will send you the documentation you will have it reviewed by a lawyer. I predict you will never hear from them again.
