    Rent, Utilities Landlord stealing Electricity

    First question - in whose name is the electric bill? Most people must apply to an electric company (or any utility) for service and obtain a bill in their name to service their residence. If it's in your name then you should have a right to demand from them information of exactly what is being...

    Starting a Business How to form a DBA under a LLC?

    You may want to look at the Texas Secretary of State Name Filings FAQ. It also looks like what may also be referred to as a Doing Business As (DBA) form and is called an Assumed Name in Texas. @adjusterjack provided you with the link to the Texas Assumed Name Form 503.

    If you're in the USA providing an online service to people where it's illegal, are you a criminal?

    A couple of thoughts being directly involved in this industry: 1) Domain Registrars: They simply sell names. Any name that isn't block as a result of being on a reserved name list such as this one from ICANN is open for sale. They don't ask questions and can't be expected to police use of a...

    Question

    Reading your post, we don't seem to hear any specific reason why the boss fired you. The first reason seems to be what you believe is a factor and the second seems more about process than purpose. Your boss didn't seem to want to talk to you and your employer gave you notice of termination. The...

    Tire rotation scam

    I understand the desire to shame a bad dealership and the anger you must feel. I think that the responses you're receiving may also have to do with the fact that you've posted a link to your blog and asked people to read more there and leave messages there instead of discussing it at the place...

    can you please send help with a previous case for vc 21451 a im appealing and need to write a brief

    The code is below. We're likely missing a crucial part to your story. If there were 7 cars in front of you and they moved but you stayed put you could still be found guilty of the code as written. We don't know all the details. You may wish to speak to a traffic ticket attorney about an appeal...

    Were my rights violated?

    If there was wrongdoing then, theoretically, I'd consider going after the videographer and the bully. But you're a long way from there. The first step is to defend yourself from the charges. I hear a discussion about a judge but you're mentioning "school officials" and a citation. Who...

    police entry into home

    As has been stated, we don't know all the facts. But this incident prompts even more questions. So if your son responds with the "nobody here except for us chickens" line :D that's one thing. But here the police received no response at all after confirming someone was in the house. No response...

    Text and or Pics

    If he posts text or photos intended to harass you on Facebook, you can complain to Facebook as others have done. And they may choose to suspend his account, which they can do as well. I don't know the substance of the text and photos which make this of such concern so I can't comment further.

    i married with an assumed identity. I told my husband 5 years later.

    We don't know all the facts. For now we know you married under a fake name / identity and/or forged ID. You also mention bigamy. If you were married under your real name, the marriage under your fake name might not even be valid. Each state has requirements or grounds for annulment and bigamy is...

    Foreclosure

    I didn't realize that the Foreclosure Act included such wide protection. Regardless, rereading the question the renter may have had a lease and just wasn't told by the landlord about the foreclosure. It's not uncommon that a debtor may try to pocket the rent money and leave town. I got out of...

    Foreclosure

    Good point - assuming there is a lease. As I didn't hear of the existence of one I assumed there may not have been a lease and should not have. As to whether or not the cash for keys option exist - that is another good strategy. It would probably work better with the existence of a lease...

    Credit Cards, Rating, Repair credit card debt

    The bankruptcy lawyer suggestion is a good one. Should always consider it if you are nowhere near able to meet your debts and they are massive enough to warrant such an extreme measure.

    Florida: DE Inc. Ownership Claim

    Your situation is specific and there are far too many facts we can't discuss here which might impact the success or failure of your case. We don't know what your written agreement actually states. We don't know what measures your adversaries took or didn't take that prevented you from...

    Credit Cards, Rating, Repair credit card debt

    Unless you've got something very convincing to offer I highly doubt the creditor will work anything out with you. Why should they? The money expended to pay for an attorney is spent.I can't see the creditor dropping their case as it makes no sense to pay to start again. Right now you're probably...

    Foreclosure

    Yes, the new owner can evict you and you should probably make plans to vacate as soon as possible. I doubt that any eviction will happen before the holiday although I happened to have witnessed one occurring right before Christmas in a county near New York City. I'm not giving you any...

    Eviction

    I'd also advise trying to make the process as amicable as possible. You should speak to them about whether they have made arrangements to move. If you can avoid having to evict them as well as a relationship that may make them less inclined to treat the property respectfully it will be an easier...

    Passing a cop with his lights on?

    I'd argue what @Disabled Vet said - you were following someone that you thought was in the flow of traffic around a hazard. After all, you were the car behind, perhaps considering that the car in front had been directed to continue in that direction. I wouldn't expect the officer to lie and it...

    Consumer Protection Assignment Clauses in Health Club, Gym and Martial Arts Membership Contracts

    If you’re anticipating signing a health club, gym or martial arts school membership contract, it is very important to be aware of certain contract clauses. While some onerous or harsh terms can usually be identified in plain language (such as limited options and penalties for early...

    What happens if I post public information about my neighbors?

    I don't know what happened or caused the situation but I'm guessing it was perhaps something to do with the shed in your yard. I encountered this many years ago when a neighbor decided to erect a huge shed that was two stories high in his small back yard within a residential housing area of...
