Brady posted:Is it legal for me to offer giftcards in exchange for in-game currency on my minecraft server? Players can buy currency from us or they can earn it by playing the game. Are you offering gift cards to the players in exchange for their in game currency, or are you taking gift cards from players and giving them in game currency for it? I can't imagine how it'd be illegal if you put the terms in writing and have them agree to it. There will be more questions such as if it is considered income (likely), if you plan to report it as income, who would report it, can you somehow offset serve expenses to avoid paying income tax on it, who owns the server, etc.

Or it could be "hey I want to make an app to access data on your site better, I will give you x percent of ad revenue and you can direct difficulties with the app towards me" But I'm just assuming that the dude isn't a dick, unlike you. Do you really think if he did go tan to a lawyer, that the lawyer wouldn't also say "have you considered talking to them about it?"

Molybdenum posted:My brother has some debt that went to collections. The debt collector is calling me for info on him, about once a day for the past few months. I'm not going to give them info, he's easy enough to find. How can I get them to stop calling me? Is there a phrase I need to mention, maybe cite a state/federal law? Do I need to record the conversation? Did they tell you that they are a debt collector or did you infer it? Is it a first party or third party collector? If it's a third party, and they told your they are a debt collector, then they prolly violated the FDCPA

Have you told the callers they are talking to the wrong person? Do they identify themselves as debt collectors, or that it is a call in relation to collecting a debt? Is the debt consumer related (i.e., not business debt)? If you know Are they calling your home phone, cell, work?

kedo posted:I thought that initially, but I googled the collection agency and they appear to be legit (albeit with several BBB complaints), and the companies and people involved are all real enough as well. It seems like they just confused my old employer with the actual company that owes the debt, and for some reason I was the person they contacted. If you don't owe the debt, then tell them to go gently caress themselves and that you won't pay. If they get sufficiently bad, you might have a claim for harassment, depending on your state laws. And maybe your state has more expansive laws that cover business debt collection, as the FDCPA and a lot of state versions don't cover business debts. quote:This seems like a pretty basic thing to gently caress up and caused some physical and emotional trauma, is there anything she can do besides being thankful? quote:He says the judge ruled in his favor. And then the ABC sent him a letter saying he had to pay the fine and penalty anyway, they didn't care about the legal decision. quote:Can my friend the angry store owner prevail against them?

At the end there I was standing in the doorway, trying to slowly close the door and nod, and he just kept talking to me while my frozen food slowly thawed in the bag. Well I hope you can do use all a solid and either read those letters or get us copies because I am super curious about this now. Texas abc (tabc) is basically the gestapo and I knew a few agents of theirs and a couple different underage sting people and they were all dumb as poo poo, but I can't imagine them putting in writing that they were gonna ignore a court decision Tabc used to have this gigantic Mexican pace outside the gas station I worked at in the same outfit every time and try to sting us with underage kids.

It's not that complicated. You have beer and wine licenses, and then general alcohol license. There's not Byzantine system of production involved, as beer, wine, and distilled liquors are all made by distinct processes. Liqueurs are distilled, so they are liquors. It's easier to classify them into three broad groups then worrying about abv of each product. He has a beer and wine license. Liqueurs are neither of those things quote:It's complicated because industry will create an entire genre of products to avoid regulatory classification. This is especially true of folks who make addictive substances(industry is trying to push several different kinds of e-cig as legally distinct), but it's also how we got the SUV for example. But yea, things like "supplements" are clear attempts to avoid proper regulation EwokEntourage fucked around with this message at 06:55 on May 21, 2016 |

I found this funny quote when looking up thisquote:The medieval practice of subjecting a person suspected of crime to the rack and other forms of torture is universally condemned; and we see little difference in subjecting a person to the torture of public condemnation, loss of reputation, and blacklisting in their chosen profession, in the manner here attempted by the grand jury. The person so condemned is just as defenseless as the medieval prisoner and the victim of the lynch mob . . . http://m.openjurist.org/514/f2d/794/united-states-v-k-briggs-c

You can probably just google Indiana tenant lawyers or something similar, one of them probably provides free consultations and likely have dealt with bed bugs before As A guess, I don't think you're gonna get the landlord to pay the costs of cleaning your clothes. If the landlord takes prompt steps to fix the problem and the lease has a clause saying the landlord can charge the tenant EwokEntourage fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jun 3, 2016 |

Thanatosian posted:IANAL, but the short answer--from what I understand--is "yes." They could come back after it at any time in the future; there's not even a time limit or anything. The generally recommended strategy for when their is an error in your favor like that is to set aside the amount put in by error, never spend it, and inform the parties involved via some well-documented method (email, certified letter, etc.). Why is it bullshit to have to return something that doesn't belong to you?

He most likely agreed to it. most generic forms will have clauses saying they can correct mistakes I can't imagine any legit company taking money out of an account without prior authorization. Plus, it was a significant amount, like $1700, and he moved money around, so he likely knew that it wasn't his money Edit: he says he didn't, but $1500 is a lot for most people not to notice EwokEntourage fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Jun 15, 2016 |

KillHour posted:My company deposits 5 figures into my account on a monthly basis, not including my salary. There was nothing abnormal about seeing a $1500+ deposit and moving it into another account I keep set aside so I can pay my ridiculous credit card bills each month. My bad, I didn't realize you were the person that asked originally, thought it was someone else. Do you have an employment contract or something similar? As far as I know, they can only take it back if you agree. Most people just agree without knowing

Alchenar posted:The employment contract has absolutely nothing to do with his relationship with his bank, which is the issue here. Except it has nothing to do with his relationship with his bank? His employer deposited the money erroneously, and then took it back. He has to authorize the company to deposit it. He likely has to authorize the company to withdraw the money if a mistake is made. Direct deposit is an agreement between employer and employee, not between the employee and his bank. They work the same way as wiring money or transferring money between banks, or using a bank account to pay a bill online

NancyPants posted:I negotiated a debt settlement for a student loan that is so old it no longer shows up on my credit report despite my having paid according to the collector's agreement since 2011. I want the settlement agreement to keep the debt off my credit reports. Is this something I can realistically expect from an attorney? A consumer attorney can do this, since a lot of them do fair credit reporting act cases now.

dalstrs posted:I hope they don't, I think the amount is small enough they probably wouldn't. If they did appeal I would hire a lawyer and I think my case is good enough they would end up having to pay my attorney fees. I might be wrong, but if it's a car wreck and its negligence I don't think you can get attorney's fees.

dalstrs posted:Even on an appeal if it is in my favor? In this case, they have already admitted partial fault. I just strongly disagree with their percentages and I think I have the evidence to back it up. Recovering attorney fees depends on what claim you are bringing. So like suing someone else for negligence to get their insurance to payout might not be eligible for attorney's fees. But maybe suing your own insurance company to get them to pay out a claim to you under the insurance code might get attorneys fees. this lists some but not all, if you're curious. If you do hire an attorney, they'll know depending on the claim

dalstrs posted:Seems like it would be really easy to harass someone with lawsuits if you had the time. In that case, you file for sanctions against the other party and their attorneys. At some point long ago, Americans decided each side should pay their own. So it's called the American rule. There has been a small push in more recent times to increase attorney fees award, more so in federal litigation I would guess. But it's still not close to the majority Also, you will probably only pay the attorney if you win, so it's not like you'll lose money, you'll just recover less (likely)

A defendant must file a bond in an amount equal to twice the amount of the judgment. The bond must be supported by a surety or sureties approved by the judge. The bond must be payable to the appellee and must be conditioned on the appellant’s prosecution of its appeal to effect and payment of any judgment and all costs rendered against it on appeal.
