Legal Answers
- Q. I live in a D. R. Horton mobile home. It's been ravaged with water damage. I'm in debt now. Can I join this suit?
- A: You do not provide any information about the lawsuit you want to join. I am aware there are some class actions against that builder for their stick built homes pending in states other than North Carolina, and if you were a member of that class you would have been notified once the class is certified. You also do not give any specifics about when you purchased your home, when it was installed, whether or not it came with a warranty and how long the warranty was for. For these reasons, it is impossible for any lawyer to tell you whether you could join an existing lawsuit or whether you have claims you could sue them for now. There are statutes of limitation and statues of repose which require persons ... Read More
- Q. Is it legal for Lowes (or their delivery agent) to charge me a $3300 storage fee without prior notice or authorization?

It is unreasonable for you to expect them or their agent to keep the cabinets stored forever free of charge. $1,100 for 5 months of storage is not per se unreasonable. Look at how much you would have been required to pay for an equivilent mini storage space. Most even non climate controlled storage units in decent repair go for $75 a month or more depending upon size ... Read More
- Q. Can I keep progressive from cutting a total loss check to the but here pay here lender who has now sold the contract?
- A: YOU can't do anything about this unless you have a power of attorney from your sister. Your sister needs to demand written proof from the third party finance company who claims they hold the contract, by getting their name, mailing address and loan number and mailing them a letter asking for the proof. She needs to send written notice to Progressive that another lender is claiming they were assigned the lien and request they hold payment until the true owner of the lien can be ascertained. She needs to give copies of both of those letters to the car dealer in question. If Progressive cuts the check payable to your sister and the car lot as lienholder they should mail it to her and she should ... Read More
