While I wouldn't go so far as Jack and say never to buy outside your local area, it is something that does need to be considered, especially with high cost items. One of the things Amazon buyers need to understand is that not everything Amazon lists on the site is sold by Amazon or is shipped...

First, before you sue based on a contract, you need to read all the terms of the contract. That's what the court will look at to determine what the rights and responsibilites are of each party to the contract. If you read Amazon's Conditions of Use you'll see the paragraph on disputes that reads...

Your problem is that legislation adopted in NY state last year makes it illegal to discriminate against a tenant or applicant solely based on their criminal records. NYC this year makes it illegal to even get the criminal records until after all the other steps that the proposed renter needs to...

Is what they told you really a surprise? Merchants selling in competition with eBay aren't going to say eBay sellers give people great deals or they'll turn away potential customers. I'd not expect them to give an unbiased opinion of a major competitor. Each eBay seller sets his/her own prices...

Legal separation is usually done as a step in the divorce process, though it doesn't have to be. The benefit of it is that there would be a court order specifying certain aspects of separation, like who gets which of the joint assets, ordering the spouses not to dispose of assets, etc. The...

That would be the case under intestacy (dying without a will, trust or other estate planning mechanism to transfer his property) if he was not married at the time he died and his daughter is his only surviving child. He may also do that in his will or by using a trust, again assuming he's not...

I don't think I'd fancy what the upgrade process would be for that chip and what that would cost. :p

You're right, it is a problem that extends beyond just the indigent. In particularly the elderly are less likely to be familiar with and use smart phones and some of the other recent tech advances. They tend to feel more comfortable with the tech they used when they were younger. I recall trying...

There is nothing you can do before your son dies or becomes incapable to care for the children that will guarantee you'd get temporary or permanent custody of them. Your son may express his preference in the will, a durable power of attorney, or some other document, which may help you, but in...

That's what I see private parking lots around here starting to use. A popular one here has QR codes on the signs for each space. You scan the QR code which registers the time you started parking, and then enter the license plate number and payment info for the amount of time you want. Then the...

My city still uses physical parking meters but now augmented with the ability to take credit/debit cards for payment in addition to using coins. The meters even have little solar panels on the top to power them. But my city is also one that, like a few other Western big cities (started, I think...

One of the problems I've observed, even with myself, is that most drivers are terrible at estimating their speed while behind the wheel. After getting my car engine and electronics package upgraded due to factory recall (which really was a customer service move to provide free upgrades as...

Then hopefully that carrier will be hitting retirement age soon. It sounds like he/she no longer enjoys the job (if he or she ever did) and will probably bolt the job the minute he or she hits retirement eligibility. Until then, keep documenting the mail problems and encourage neighbors to do...

Apparently (based on Foamback's response) NYC is different from every other city in which I've lived. In every place I've lived there is no grace period whatsoever. If you've used your hour (or whatever the time was) you've overstayed your spot and may be given a ticket the instant the time...

Have you ever actually talked to the carriers that handle your route about the problem? It seems to me you are talking to everyone but the people actually delivering the mail and who are responsible for which apartment box the mail goes in. For example, in my building I often get the mail of the...

The problem is that once it filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy the bankruptcy code determines the priority of payment. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a business is basically just an organized sale of assets to pay creditors in the priority set out in the bankruptcy code. You would have had to file a proof...

It's amazing to me how many people think that running a business is easy and that they and just about anyone else are capable of doing it. Starting up your own business involves a lot of work (a lot more than a 40 work week at a desk job), considerable risk since there is no guarantee the...

Correct, that's the list of crimes that have no statute of limitations (SOL) in Colorado. But unless the DA can link Kessinger as a party to the murder itself, any other crime she'd be charged with out of this incident would have a SOL, perhaps as short as three years, assuming a felony charge...

The longest period for a Chapter 13 plan is 60 months. But if you can pay off the entire debt before that, the court may enter an order for a shorter plan. If you can pay all your debts in less than three years you might be able to negotiate payment arrangements with each of your creditors that...

I think the OP is considering the "case" as including both of them. And in the investigation phase, the police case would be about seeking out evidence and building a case against everyone thought to be involved. But when it goes to the DA and the court, there is a separate case against each...
