    Suing for diminished value in small claim court

    Thanks, @Tax Counsel. With your pointer, I have located the business's contact information in the Secretary of NH's database, as well as the name of its registered agent. Embarrassingly, I don't have the driver's name. Looking back, I didn't do the things that one's supposed to do at the scene...

    Suing for diminished value in small claim court

    @adjusterjack Thanks for your answers and the link! The truck was owned by a trucking company based in NH. When the truck hit my car, the truck was ‘conducting business’, as pointed out by the driver that the yellow lights on top of the truck were flashing. The insurance info he provided was...

    Suing for diminished value in small claim court

    @adjusterjack My apologies. I originally thought that providing the numbers would be clear enough to show the back-and-forth between the two parties. In hindsight. I should have made clear that I never accepted their offers and always communicated with them using registered mail. Please don't...

    Suing for diminished value in small claim court

    I did cash the check when they offered $900, but I rejected the $900 settlement by registered-mailing Cape Cod and offering to settle for $2.5k. They USPS'ed back two weeks after I cashed the check, repeating the $900 offer, and again no second check. That's where things stand.

    Suing for diminished value in small claim court

    Thanks for your reply, @adjusterjack. Let me clarify.... I didn't cash the first check ($450) until they came back with the $900 number (without a check). I thought $900 was the new lower bound so I decided to cash the $450 check. Also, their $900 offer is the total, not on top of the first $450.

    Suing for diminished value in small claim court

    I am in New Hampshire. My 2018 Tesla Model 3 with 55k miles was hit by a commercial truck in the front due to the truck driver's negligence. Since everything was captured on my dashcam, the company that owned the truck owned up to the accident and its insurance paid for the repair. Note: I went...

    Roofing contract. Did I sign a blank check?

    Thank you guys for all your inputs. I just want to make it clear that I would definitely pay Diego for whatever job he's done to my roof up to this point. I am not going to hold him to that $1 in the contract. I think the $1 thingy is such a glaring issue that it overshadows two of my...

    Roofing contract. Did I sign a blank check?

    Thank you for your reply, @welkin. Could you please elaborate on why the contract is not enforceable? Certainly, the $1 part is a mistake. Does that mistake alone make it unenforceable? Or are there other things in it that make it so?

    Roofing contract. Did I sign a blank check?

    Yes, I got that part. That's why I was asking if it's a 'bad' contract objectively. Just an update on the situation: The contractor did cover up the problem area after my insistence. Now my follow-up questions: 1. How should I play this $1 roof replacement deal? I don’t expect that to ever...

    Roofing contract. Did I sign a blank check?

    Thanks @army judge for your reply. By the way you phrased it, I sensed that you thought the contract was badly written and perhaps not executable. Is that an accurate description of your impression? Thanks again!

    Roofing contract. Did I sign a blank check?

    Background: This is in New Hampshire. I saw water stains in my ceiling after a thunder storm. My roof was 22 years old. Since I was leaving for a trip overseas the next day, I called a bunch of roofing companies that showed up in Google, trying to get someone to come out that day and address the...

    Dental bill that's more than 15 years old

    I got a message in my voicemail today, left by a dental clinic in MA that I went to more than 15 years ago. It stated I had a balance with them and would like me to call them back. I joggled my memory and vaguely recalled that I had disputed the amount when I first got the bill (likely having...

    Mobile carrier X fails to send me gift card

    An update: Following @adjusterjack 's suggestion, I sent a message detailing the problem I was facing to the VP of CS at X. Two days later, a member of the 'executive resolutions' team called me and verified with me her understanding of the whole situation. She sounded apologetic and courteous...
