Dog Breeder Problems
Hello,
We recently bought 2 puppies from a breeder. We had them for about 6 weeks and they both came down with parvo virus. They were vaccinated by the breeder for this before we got them. We found out that she had vaccinated improperly according to the vaccine manufacturers instructions and have proof of this. She claims she is not responsible for this. After weeks at the vet on IVs, one of them died and the other lived. We spent around $5000 on vet bills. I wrote her a final offer stating we would like the $5000 back and a promise to vaccinate properly and take better care of her puppies and customers in the future and in exchange we would not report the incident as well as her giving us the puppies a week early(against the law) to the press, american kennel club, humane society, or better business bureau. She came back with a huge email, obviously with the assistance of a lawyer, stating that they can get us on extortion. Is this truly extortion? Im only asking for my money back from what we know was her fault in exchange for not reporting facts to the above facilities. I did sound a bit threatening, but i was very upset about the loss of my puppy and tons of expenses due to her
negligence.
Thanks for your help.
Scam debt collectors
I have recently received harassing phone calls from someone calling themselves a collection agency. They claim it has to do a with a corporation I closed (owing no one at the time) back in fall of 1999. They claim I owe Sprint 7000 dollars. I have called the police about them and the police said to hang up on them and if they show up at my door to call 911.
My credit report is solid. I just recently opened an account with sprint for a cell phone - in June 2006. I pay it every month like clock-work. I have no knowledge of anything else owed to Sprint before now. My company never had any accounts with sprint.
As of today, the company harassing me has finally given me a name or at least three letters - UCB and a phone number to call them back. This is the first time they have given anything to me. I searched the phone number on the net and could not find anything associated with it. The number is: 866-216-3673.
I am considering calling the police again and giving them this number but thought I would write to you first to get your thoughts.
I appreciate any info you send. In this day and age of identity theft, I don't think you can be too careful what information you give by phone to unknowns.
thanks,
is there any recourse to revoke a will that has been changed by someone that was diagnosed with dementia and has just passed away.
Succession Rights
I live in NYC, in a rent controlled apartment. The original lease (dated 1968) is in my husband's name who passed away a long time ago. I have been living in the apartment and paying the rent. I know as a wife, I can legal succession rights to the apartment. I also, now that the landlord is not required to provide me with a new lease because the rent controlled tenants are "Statutory Tenants". My question is this: Can my sister, who started living with me continuously 5 years ago, have succession rights to the apartment when I die? Or does NY state have a limit on how many time succession rights can be claimed in a rent controlled apartment to transfer possession to another person. Or is it that as long as the person (family member) meets the criteria stated for succession rights, succession can take place over and over again. Note, the original lease dated 1968 is in my husband's name only. Thank you.
