Civil Actions

I currently live in CA. When I moved here, I had to leave my horse in Tucson, until I found a place to live and keep her. That proved to be a hard task that took time. I paid board for her in AZ, while I live here. Now, I have a horse that is being board in Tucson. The stable owner will not give me access, or allow me to get my horse. There is no written contract. She refuses to give me any itemization to document her charges. I do not agree that I owe her the amount she claims, and she refuses to send me written documentation of how she has arrived at these ridiculous figures. I have made Timely payments for months. I now reside in CA and the horse is still in AZ. I have registration and the horse is micro chipped. Can I go and get my horse without paying her? I have been told by many people that she cannot legally keep my horse. Can she keep possession of my horse? I want to send someone to pick her up,before she disappears. She said she is going to sell the horse to cover the bill, and I will suffer the loss of my baby along with 20 k loss! The bill she claims is $5600. The horse is worth 20 k. I love my horses and they are my family. Can I simply get my horse? How? What is the legal way in AZ? I do not have money for a big court battle, and neither does the stable owner.

I was served today (Sunday) a SUMMONS in the Court of Common Pleas from the County of Georgetown clocked June 22, 2009. It pertains to a non-jury collection action related to a credit card that I never had or authorized from Citi Bank for less than $4,000. For one thing, I do not live or work in Georgetown, yet this doc was clocked in Georgetown. I live and work in a different county. However, I did accept the papers and remarked that you folks work on Sundays. The plaintiff is Midland Funding LLC. After looking at the documents something seems very wrong. I had placed a credit alert several years ago on my credit file as I was a victim of identity theft. There also seems to be a Law firm involved out of Columbia SC. I want to answer this aggressively. I did speak with the law firm months ago and informed them that this account was not mine and even wrote them to that effect. They told me that I must get a police report and other stupid stuff and this would go away. The police laughed when I called them regarding this as we both know they have much larger issues to deal with. Besides my credit alerts have been in place for years now. This is set for a non-jury trial and appears headed to an alternative Dispute Resolution process? Arbitration, I do not know! However, I do feel an answer should be forthcoming. But on the other hand so they get a judgment against me in Georgetown that I have no interest or business in what so ever, how would that affect my credit report? Should I fight it or just let it go?

My question is about the 1 year statute of limitations on actions for specific performance in Florida. It also pertains to the discovery rule. I am planning to bring a few cases to small claims court and I wanted to see if I was too late. I have 2 charges on my credit card that were dated 6/30/2008 ($3500 and $4050). I know that would make it just over a year. However, I did not get the credit card statements until 7/24/08 and 7/18/08. Also, I know that I never saw the sales slips until mid July of 2008. So, the date on the slips may say 6/30/08, but they were not discovered until later in July. I don't want to file the cases and lose, even though I never received any services from the merchant. My question is: when does my statute of limitations run out? Is it a year from the date on the slip, or is it a year from the date that I got the credit card statement, or is it a year from the day I saw the actual slips? If it is 6/30/08 then I am out of luck, but if it is one of the two later dates, then I will hurry and file my claims.

I have received a claim of lien on real property. The company claiming the lien has listed the owner of the real property as 'John' which is correct, but they also list my neighbor whom has no relationship with the person claiming the lien. the 120 day limit expires June 27th. Is this lien valid as it stands or would it have to be refiled before the deadline?

My son sat on the trunk of a friends car and put dent in the trunk. The parents got an estimate from the dealer for $700. We asked for a competitive bid but they refused and demanded money in 5 days or face legal action. We are willing to pay we just want to get a better price if possible. They have already made the repairs and their attorney sent a letter demanding $700. Did we have the right to ask for a competitive bid? If not, do we at least have a right to see a copy of the bill/estimate so we know they didn't have other repairs made on our dime?
