Tenchrono posted:So update on the car saga. I contacted an attorney yesterday who then got in contact with the dealer who assured the attorney that they have the title in hand. However, today I received a call from the dealer again stating that they are still "working for me" to get me my title. When I moved from AK to the lower 48 I traded in my vehicle in Idaho and they knew I didn't have the title and might never be able to get it (all my poo poo was in transit and then storage and I was like "the titles probably in there somewhere but I don't know for sure and even if it is it could be many many months until I have the stuff delivered" so they said "NO PROBLEM we will just file for a lost title here sign these forms don't worry about it." ~4 months later they still hadn't managed to get a duplicate title. I had my stuff delivered to my new house, found the title, mailed it to them, and that concluded the transaction. I'm not sure what would have happened if I hadn't gotten the title. e: and they had absolutely already sold my car months earlier and were starting to freak out about not being able to get the new person/bank the title. bird with big dick fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Apr 20, 2022 |

Apparently on their end the person who sold the car to the dealer filled out the title wrong / signed in the wrong place and they are trying to get the old seller to get a new title to fill out correctly so they can then get a title in their name so they can then send the title to me so I can title it in Colorado. Apparently they currently have in their possession the wrong title and an "erasure of affidavit" that somehow erases the old title signature, and also a PoA from the previous owner to get a new title or something. They informed me that they can send me the wrong title and the erasure so that I can somehow try and get it registered in Colorado, which I told them no and that I need the actual title 100% filled out in the dealers name. Allegedly there is a special title clerk coming in tomorrow that can see how they / I can get a new title still and apparently she is able to somehow "pull some strings" at the DMV to get a new title from Nevada.

Are duplicate titles particularly hard to come by generally? We lost a title once--I pulled it from our filing cabinet knowing we were getting rid of the vehicle and then promptly lost it. Went to the county clerk's office and they printed a duplicate for like $25 in a matter of minutes. Re: car saga: even if they're telling the complete truth I personally wouldn't want the vehicle anymore at this point. Too much risk going on here.

Ham Equity posted:Question for the legal thread: why the gently caress aren't titles digital? They are in some states and transfers just require signing the appropriate paperwork. However, a lot of people still prefer paper titles and will go get paper titles when they're selling their car. Once a paper title is issued, that is the title and if it is lost it is a pain in the rear end.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Are duplicate titles particularly hard to come by generally? In my state you can only get a duplicate title for a car already registered in your name. That's not a big deal if you have current registration but if you let that lapse after selling a car it can be more or less impossible to get a duplicate at that point.

Does anyone have any experience dealing with Ticketmaster? I am attempting to get refunded the $500 I spent on tickets for a show last August. I have gone through their refund scheme on their website three times and they just ignore me. They acknowledge receiving my refund request and then do not follow up with me at all. As far as I can tell they do not have a phone number where I can speak to a person. I have an email from them where they offered me a full refund as the event location changed their attendance policy due to the Covid Delta variant. I purchased the tickets last June and assume the SOL will run out a year from that. I also assume there are arbitration clauses that prevent me from getting a judgment in small claims. Do I just have to wait to be part of their next class action settlement?

The CC will give you the refund and they can fight with TM. Note: you probably won't be able to use that card with TM ever again (or if like google, they'll ban your account completely) toplitzin fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Apr 20, 2022 |

Look at the ticketmaster arbitration clause on their website: https://help.ticketmaster.com/s/article/Terms-of-Use?language=en_US#section17 There are options. Email and threaten arbitration, small claims court, find a consumer lawyer who will try to find an angle to get paid on it, etc.

It's hilarious that ticketmaster attaches themselves to the ticketing process and handles all the money that passes through, adds fees on top to consumer and organizer, then goes "Refunds? NOPE, DONT HAVE IT." Imagine if you returned a defective product to home depot and they said "yeah looks faulty, we will refund your money after the manufacturer refunds us". Use a line of credit and issue refunds you leeches, that's the risk you take playing middleman.

It turns out that even though I bought the tickets on ticketmaster.com and all communication regarding my purchase, venue policy changes, and theoretical refund came from a ticketmaster email address, my purchase was with Stubhub. Stubhub and Ticketmaster now both say they are not responsible for my refund becuase "they didn't sell me the tickets a 3rd party sold them." I even bought event insurance through Ticketmaster just in case of a Covid problem but that actually was sold to me by Allianz who says my policy specifically excludes Covid from their event coverage. I asked my credit card company about a chargeback. They call it "disputing the charges." I did buy the tickets and the event did take place I just didn't attend because I didn't want to be in a concert hall back in August with whatever new variant was going around. Also I took Ticketmaster at their word that I was eligible for a refund due to the policy changes. I doubt my credit card company will side with me but I will give it a shot.

You might be out of luck because it was your decision to not attend. If the concert had been cancelled or postponed you may be able to get away with Services Not Rendered. Hopefully they can find something in the documentation that they can use in their favor.

When a personal injury lawsuit goes to trial are assets and ability to pay and where the money is going to come from (i.e. insurance vs. out of the defendant's pocket) allowed to be discussed during the trial? Like it seems kind of irrelevant, damages are damages it doesn't really matter where the money might come from or what the defendant's net worth is.

Sometimes there are rules specifically to exclude that sort of testimony, whether an insurer will be paying the judgment. You don't want the jury awarding for a plaintiff just because it's coming out of some big insurer's pocket.

You don't want a huge award just because it's a big insurance company but you also don't want the converse, a puny award just because it might be at least partially paid by someone personally, in which case of course the persons wealth could/would be a huge factor in influencing jurors.

Juries are instructed about this but of course they probably take some of it into consideration if only subconsciously. But yeah, usually means to pay are irrelevant and not addressed until there is a judgment.

The only time I know of where financial worth becomes relevant to the jury is for punitive damages. The whole point of those is to punish wrongdoing, so finances matter. An award of $1000 in punitive damages is very different to someone who has $0 net worth vs someone with millions.

So the lawyer had a family thing come up today and wasnt there so I left a message with the person on the phone. In the mean time I asked about what happened yesterday with the title clerk and got these in response:quote:Yes sir, the title was sent with the title clerk and sent in yesterday. All the paperwork was in order. Later today I will be speaking with her and she will update me on time frame. This may take a minute, but we had to correct the mistake before hand. From my understanding this should be much quicker than normal. quote:Im hoping for Monday, my clerk said she is going to bust her butt to see what she can do, so its not guaranteed but we might get lucky. I have never in my life had a title come from any states DMV in less than a month. I am interested in what the lawyer will say but I assume I am still 100% able to get my money back considering I still dont have any form of title in hand that I can take to my DMV. For reference again, its from a brick a mortar store in Nevada. Once they get the title in their name I still need to have it mailed to me and title and register it here in Colorado.

Reno. I am going to contact the lawyer in a few minutes.

Conlaw crosspost for you lawyers. Can the Government require localities to accept various structures, roadways, etc. then eventually stick those localities with maintenance costs? Like if it opens a military base and then requires the local citizenry to maintain it at their own expense? This is about the Disney special improvement district stuff. Disney had its own statutorily constructed zone, crossing borders of various counties, that was subject to some regulations but more or less was empowered to do all its own planning. So it built all these roads for its own use that it approved and paid for. Now Florida has nixed the special district and theoretically, all those counties are responsible for the maintenance of Disney's roads. This causes huge budget problems, especially related to other aspects of Florida State law and the way these counties are and are not allowed to tax. A good summary post: Epicurius posted:I know it's going away. That's my point. That's why it's bad that it's going away. And raising taxes 24% is a bad idea, but the county can't do much else to make up the shortfall. That's what people in the thread is saying. The counties can't pass a special "Disney tax" or charge Disney a higher rate than they do other property owners. This isn't because of some sort of special corrupt legislative deal. It's because that's how property taxes work. Property is given a value, and then you tax a percentage of the value. That's already going on, though. Disney already plays property taxes. I am suspecting that arbitrarily removing the RCID in a way that automatically sticks citizens with a massive bill for a bunch of poo poo they never had any say over seems facially unconstitutional. What do you nerds think?

ulmont posted:News reporting suggests Florida state law requires a residential vote to dissolve a special district and lol if Reedy Creek is gonna vote to dissolve. Yeah, but the legislature can also pass a law getting rid of that law, or deciding that it doesn’t apply to a law that dissolves all special districts from before whatever date. Then you get a fun legal fight over whether the legislature can pass a law removing vested rights where those rights are held by a special district. And by fun legal fight I mean highly technical and highly lucrative for the lawyers involved, but boring and slow for everyone else.

Harold Fjord posted:So the citizens of a city are not protected from the Florida government deciding that they each owe $50? That's not a taking? It's gonna be a lot more than $50 per property owner and resulting rents on renters are going to jump quite a bit as well. We're talking a couple grand a year or more on average because of the necessary tax hikes. The process they used might be invalid under Florida law, but the courts are stacked with sycophants at the state level also. There's no reason to assume they won't rule in DeSantis' favor even if the legislature was technically wrong about how they did it. Orange and Osceola county have the 3rd and 4th fewest number of republicans per capita, so it is mostly non-republicans impacted as well. What will likely happen is a negotiation of a new RCID that covers everything again and will probably be even more in Disney's favor than before, but as of right now Disney is losing control but also getting a massive tax break mostly at Orange county's expense. Unless this vote part turns out correct: ulmont posted:News reporting suggests Florida state law requires a residential vote to dissolve a special district and lol if Reedy Creek is gonna vote to dissolve.
