The personal property and bank accounts of the... Read more »
No. Just keep paying. If you are both on deed, same answer. If not, you may need to do an estate proceeding.
We stopped talking haven’t had any contact for months and I’ve been taking care of the card making on time payments there is a balance due and he just froze the account and took me off the account as of today.

As an authorized user, you are not responsible to the credit card company for the balance unless the cardholder agreement specifically makes you liable. Otherwise,
The balance is on him.
It all depends on the details. You need to review your terms of service agreement and get an answer to "why." You will need to retain an attorney to evaluate the documents and circumstances in more detail to determine what rights you have, and how to get your money.

You need to contact a business lawyer in your area to discuss exactly what you mean by "an investment LLC" and what "stipulations" you want. It's possible that you're trying to do something you need to be licensed for, and/or for which you need to register the securities being sold.

Spoke with rep who said confidential hold. Read the reasons on why it could possibly invoke a hold. None of those reasons... Read more »
Was the check made out to you or to someone else and signed over to you?
Clearly there is something making the bank concerned. What could that possibly be?
You say you cashed a similar check 6 months ago.
That is what makes me ask if the check belonged to someone else. If... Read more »
They posed as child support to personal bank and put Lien on funds and took before negotiation or court hearing.
I cannot argue with you since you have the paperwork for what you have said occurred. At least I would hope that you do.
Having represented a number of banks over many years, I cannot believe the bank simply turned over the funds. The bank would first need a court order specifically... Read more »

Clackamas Housing Authority is my landlord. Check was for relocation which has already been completed at my expense.
Not clear why your landlord was paying you relocation money in May if you are still there, nor the reason the check bounced - one would presume that it was not for insufficient funds if the landlord was the Clackamas Housing Authority. It sounds as if the Housing Authority, for whatever reason,... Read more »

General statute of limitations for debt collection actions on a contract is six (6) years. If it is a credit card or open line of credit then it is potentially three (3) years.

If a required family member will not sign waivers, the party seeking to file the Petition for Probate or Administration will be required to seek the service of Citations from the Court.
I have noticed this clause in many end user agreements such as computer and phone software, product and service warranty terms, various financial applications, etc. It is always one-sided (written by the provider) and directed at the buyer. Sometimes these terms include mandatory use of a (or... Read more »
Right to a jury applies to criminal matters, not civil cases like business contracts. Rights to a jury in civil cases depend on state law, and can usually be waived as a matter of contract. That's why those waivers appear in so many business contracts.

You need to call and speak to a lawyer right away. This is not something you can resolve by posting on this forum. You will likely need to hire an attorney to have this resolved.
a year and a couple years. Fast forward we ended up breaking up in June of 2018. Quick detail, her father 'gifted her' $265,000, which is what was used to buy the house. Each month I would pay her Father $1,000, 'morgage' I would also pay USAA home insurance and property taxes... Read more »
