A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You ask about your options. A starting point could be to try to arrange a consult with an attorney.

Sub-contractor gave a verbal price which I agreed too but told him to send me a written estimate. He went ahead and did the job without sending a written estimate. The invoice he sent is way more.

While I agree that they sent more information than was probably necessary, you don't have any apparent damages as a result of this action, and no claim arises from the facts you describe.

The process is pretty simple and is described in the form that you have to complete and file with the Cook County. If you are still having a hard time, contact a lawyer.
I was hired as country manager by a US 500 company in 2013 on indefinite employment terms contract. 12 months later problems started mainly because I refused company illegal way of doing business.

IL statute of limitations on a breach of contract action is ten years. But first, you have to ascertain which country's laws apply. Did you have a written employment agreement and where was was it signed, in the US or in that foreign country? That's the law that will apply to a breach of... Read more »
Be considered mail tampering. I have received the letter 1444c three times to my forwarded address but they returned the payment for the notice three times they know what they are doing and I want to know if I could perhaps file a complaint against that post office or whoever is in charge ect.

No. They are not supposed to forward certain things. You need to be sure that the IRS and the government have your proper address. Discuss this with your Congressperson--they have information on how you can get your payments.
Per my realtor the answer was no. Is there anyway I can back out? Of course after paying the buyers back for anything they have spent on inspection and ETC

There may be a way out of the deal. The contract for sale of the property will have language on this issue. If there is "specific performance" or other language that allows the buyer to have a court force you to complete the sale, then you have a problem, and can not stop the sale.... Read more »
Covid related. Mother was in hospital. Doctors requiring first floor instead of third floor apartment.

You need to speak with an attorney who practices landlord/tenant law.
Best of luck.

Not unless the lease requires it.

They asked for a copy of my divorce decree and replied with this: It appears the divorce decree did not have any information concerning your KOFC policy. We... Read more »

1. Because Texas is a community property state, when an insured is/was married, it can cause problems for a beneficiary later on because the surviving spouse can claim that s/he is entitled to some of the policy payout.
2. If you don't pay the premiums, the policy will simply lapse.
i just want to see if this something illegal I’m getting roped into? I have received check via email from a woman I was talking to online. On the checks, they have a Life Insurance company at the top of the checks. they are asking that I deposit them into my bank via mobile deposit, keep partial... Read more »

This is almost certainly a scam and very likely a crime. Life insurance companies don't send checks and ask you to return some of the funds.

period of an home insurance company ?

Filing a complaint with the California Department of Insurance does not toll the contractual statute of limitations.

Good afternoon,
I want to file an order for Appearance and Examination against a Judgment Debtor. However, the Debtor resides in California, while we (Judgment Creditor) reside in Idaho. We have already obtained a sister-state judgment so we're all good there. But do we need to fly... Read more »

Good afternoon,
Did you sue the debtor in California? or Idaho? Wherever you got your judgment is where you will file your "post judgment" motions. However, that's where the difficulty lies in trying to haul someone from CA to Idaho after the judgment. The subpoena power... Read more »
Do the new owners have to honor my lease if I stay within the lease agreement?

As a general matter, unless your lease contains a provision stating that, upon a sale of the property, the lease can be terminated and you can be evicted, your lease would still be in effect after the sale and the new owners would step in as your new landlord. Yes, the new owners have to honor your... Read more »
I am part of a labor union in Illinois. Since COVID, we have lost many co-workers and applicants to higher-paying non-union jobs in our field. Our contract is not up until January, but if it keeps going this way, we will have no labor force left by then because we cannot stay competitive pay-wise.... Read more »

This is a contract law question. Workers' Compensation is an area of law that deals with work-related injuries. Whenever BOTH parties to a contract WANT to make a changes (irrespective of reason), they certainly may.
The Union's response should be "Your hands are NOT tied... Read more »

It doesn't, necessarily. If signed on behalf of an entity, the person who signed would need legal authority to bind the entity, otherwise the entity may rightly say they are not responsible for the contract.
If talking about individuals, then whomever signed it may be held responsible.

Short answer: No. The reg states that no advertisement to aid, promote, or assist directly or indirectly any extension of consumer credit may state that a specified down payment, by the creditor who advertises his services.
i was never given a contract from the broker. I have a text message that I sent him and that he responded with an on “ok”. Later when I asked him to respond about some undisclosed issues that were later identified, the “broker” told me that he actually owned the boat (lie). And that it... Read more »

Hi
There is not enough information to answer your question, so I ask few questions below.
Most used boats are sold “as is”, and the buyer usually buys subject to inspection.
If you’ve gone through a broker did they mention to you if you wanted an inspection done on... Read more »

I paid for his funeral even though he has 7 children. After paying via loans my half siblings (4) do... Read more »

First off, you would need your dad's death certificate. If he granted his last will & testament, a certified copy of the will must also be provided. In the absence of a will, a petition should be filed with the Puerto Rico courts (depending on the city where the house is located) to... Read more »
