Hello, Angie, Hi, I went to a dealer to buy a car and they tucked me into lissing a car because.

They asked me how many months I draw. So you know that's not the issue.

But I just wanted to start with that.

I leased a car and I wanted to ask you if they added features that they list on the stick the windowsticker, if you are obligated to buy those and uh no.

No, listen, hold on a minute. You the contract says what you get. Okay, this is what I get. This is what I get.

This is what I get.

Yeah, the contract.

They never mentioned to me that I had an option and it was supposed to be in the contract. I think that these are option features.

They never.

Know what.

I've never heard of a contract that says these are the option features you can have. I mean, I've leased and bought a bunch of cars. All it says is this is what you are getting.

Uh, so you're let me. Let me get this right.

You're saying, uh that the features were on that sticker on the window, and they didn't tell you you could have those, and they didn't get me.

They didn't tell me if I had an option to buy them.

They all, right, let me ask you this, okay, Angie. What happens when they say we never said that, Well.

It should be in the contract.

All yeah, Look, it is in the contract. What you bought is in the contract. And you're arguing I should have also gotten ABC DNE and it was a verbal conversation that you had, and they're saying, no, it wasn't. Okay, okay.

The other thing is the contract was supposed to be eight pages.

When I got home and I read everything, all the fine print, and they only.

Gave me five pages.

Okay, and did you hold on? And I okay, and just curious. Do you know what's on the other three pages? I don't, okay. Usually you sign at the okay, So how do you know it's eight pages? Is to say at the bottom one of eight, two of eight, three of eight.

No it does not. But in the front page it says make sure to read in detail all the A pages.

Okay, okay, okay. Then did you say I need the other three pages?

Please?

I did, They've given me.

Then then you say no, even wait a second, Angie. With that being said, I want the other three pages, they don't give you the other three pages, and you still sign the contract. Do I have that right?

No, this is after the fact.

Wait a minute, Okay, you're okay, okay. Once again, Angie, I'm getting so confused with all of these calls today. All right, let's go from the beginning. It says on the contract, read carefully all eight pages. You got five pages, and you're saying, and then you signed it.

Correct, I didn't read that fine sprint.

Oh okay, now all right, got it? And it says please read all eight pages. Okay, Well, I got news for you. There are contracts that I have signed that I didn't read the fine print, and I wanted to sue. And you know what they said, read the contract. That's what controls nothing verbal. It's the contract. How big was the print? How big was the print that says read all eight pages?

Oh my god? Very small.

And the thing is that the guy in the finance department was flipping the screen back.

You know, top and bottom, and back Angie when he does that, Hey, at what point, at what point do you say, I'm not signing this because you guys are doing just you're screwing me around?

When do you do that?

Yeah?

I know, what point do you say something is not kosher in Denmark? Here?

Well, I got some things and I did, I did tell all right, So what.

Do you want to So what do you want to do? What are you looking for?

My what is my recourse?

There is no there is none. This is handle on the law and welcome back. And it's handle on the law. Marginal legal advice. Robert, you're up. Welcome to handle on the law, Robert, Hi will Yes.

My question to you is going to be I need to get a lawyer. I am having issues with my with my neighbor. Last last summer, I had a water leak. I'm sorry, I'm on in the street, okay. And so I had a water leak. And my modern mainline is on their on their side of the about two feet in, no more than two feet in. I told her that I was having a plumber coming. I gave her about three days notice and we text back and forth, and that when I told her I had a plumber coming,

Hang on him minute, wha, Robert, Now he went on her property to find the water league is that correct?

Not yet? At this point? That was I dug up all my property without where mine and they waiting no leak. So so yes, then I did before going to her property. I did call her. I did text her. I actually went knock in the door. She has a ring. I guess. She ignored everything and she took off. She didn't want to deal with me, so we were already in the middle of eighting. So I did jump over and I did access to property. So now because of that, she's taking me to court for a while.

She's taking you to court for what.

Okay, I know, I know what.

She's taking you to court for. What, Robert, what is she asking for?

She's asking what? At this point she says she's gonna to the fullest extent whatever that means.

I don't know what the fullest extent means. But what is she asking for? Neither does she want money? I mean if you've been sued, have you been sued yet?

She sent me an email saying that.

That means Yeah, that means nothing. Wait till you get sued.

She sent you an email and saying I'm going to go to the full extent of the law. What does she want in the email?

She was asking at the beginning she email, she was asking for three five for what for? What? I don't get it either, She Okay.

Then you ignore it. Then you ignore it. And here's the other thing. You call the uh, you call the the water company, the utility, water and power company, and if it's a main they will deal with it. And it may not be because it's on her property. And if I get a letter from the plumber and attach it to your email, we'll get an email from the plumber, attach it, send it to her and saying I'll tell

Yeah, so the plumber did to dig in on herself.

Okay, all right, So the plumber found there was no leak. Wait a second, he did was there a leak on her property? Was there a leak coming from hers?

The leak was coming from her from under the wall on her side.

Okay. And and your plumber and your plumber went over there to look at it, correct, and dug up the yard on her side? Correct? Yes? Okay? And she wants thirty five hundred dollars for that? Yes, I know, Okay, Fine, I'm surprised she's not asking for three and a half million dollars, you might as well. You came over to my property, you dug it up, and I assume the dirt is back on. Correct?

Yes, everything fine?

And so okay, all right, So there's thirty five hundred. I would ride her back and say, why only thirty five hundred? If I were you, I'd assume me for for thirty five million?

Why not?

So at this point, you've got to let her know that if the leak is coming from her property, then she is responsible for all the damage to your property. But let me ask you a question. If your plumber says it's not on your property and it's not coming from her property, where's the leak coming from my Yeah? No, If he went over and found no leak on her property and no leak on your property, no leak from the pipes, where is the leak coming from?

Oh it was, it was on her side of the property, but under of course it's in the ground on her.

Okay, did it?

But did he do? I'm confused? Now? Did he dig it up?

Yeah?

Yeah, okay, and he didn't find a leak? Correct? Did he find a leak?

Yes, we did. We found a leak and fixed it it fixed already.

Oh you already fixed her leak. So you fixed her leak, so now there's no damage, that there's no leak, and she wants thirty five hundred dollars.

Because I went over with all.

Oh she's crazy, Yeah, she's she's crazy. You repaired her late. Matter of fact, i'd sue her for the plumber repairing her leak. Yeah, come on, you know it's just I mean, she said, reason the letter, then the letter take you to court? What do you care you're gonna win?

I have no, I have no poem with it. I was just saying, do I need a lawyer for No, it's.

Going to be a small claims court matter. No, you don't need a lawyer. No, you're fine, You're fine, not a problem at all. Jill Becky, Hello, Becky, welcome.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm on a bike.

Can you hear me?

Okay?

Yeah? Actually can okay?

I live in Ventura County in.

A fifty five plus community. We have a private water company. We pay ten dollars a month just to rent the meter. And that's fine, okay, no problem. But now that water company has started charging twenty dollars a month for administrative's feet.

Is that legal?

Sure, it's a private company. They can charge whatever the hell they want, unless unless they are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission, which I think they may be. So call a PUC, call a pu see and said, is this allowed? Is it in violation of whatever administrated decision the PUC makes? But keep in mind it's a private company. So switch switch companies?

We can't, we can't.

It's when you're in a condo unit.

They own the meters.

Who owns the meters?

That meter company?

Okay, and you can't go so they own the meters. A meter company won't come in and switch out meters a new one. And I don't know the answer. Yeah, I don't know the answer. I don't know the answer. And I would think that the board is really angry at this and they're not here.

Well, they'll no one even notice because people know.

Okay, well, okay, you bring it up. Okay, good, you bring it up to the board. And there are two issues here. One, I don't know if they're allowed to do that because your question, is that legal? Well, I mean, it's a private company. They can do whatever they want. I mean, when people know, is it illegal it's not against public policy or anything. However, is there a limitation under the Public Utilities Commission which regulates all utilities?

And I'm assuming this falls.

Under the utility And two can you switch out the meter and simply get another company? And will they put in free meters? And I don't know the answer. So those are the choices you have.

And by the way, you're riding a bike. How old are you?

I'm seventy four.

I just swam an hour wow, and while I.

Was on hold.

While I was on hold, I did eight.

Miles of my twelve mile micro Wow.

Good for you. That's impressive. I have to tell you.

That is impressive. All of a sudden, I care about your water. I mean before you said that, I kind of drug.

Yeah, I couldn't.

I couldn't care less about your water.

That's good.

Wall.

That's impressive. Seventy four years old and doing that hour swim or a two hour swim and then a twenty five mile bike rider. Where the hell she did?

Yeah?

Ultra marathon, Yeah, I love it. I just saw a documentary about it. There's an ultra marathon at least the hardest race in the world is who the Sahara Desert, Morocco, and people actually run it, and I mean it is bad. I mean it's like it's crazy. It's days and days. And there was like a lady in her seventies running it. Now she didn't make it, but most people don't and then they have the ambulances that come with it. I mean, it's really interesting stuff. This is Handle on the Law.

Hello, Yes, so happy to get through. My problem is my vision. Well, that's one of my problems. I have had cataract surgery and I don't know what they did. They kept telling me, well, wait and see, we'll see if it gets better. But I went from having mild cataracts because I'm a realtor and I was having trouble reading street signs and they were just mild. But they also did some snipping and cutting and stitching to get

All right, Anita, that's a good case. You have a decent you have. Yeah. Yeah, based on what you say, that's a medical malpractice case. If they performed eye surgery on you and there was a test that was done in terms of which, of course, they do the glaucoma test, and I mean they test the hell out of your eyes, which they have to. And if they missed a test and you're now more blind, you got them, Anita, you have you know, And I don't know if they can

I don't know if it's permanent damage. I'm hoping not.

How old are you, by the way, Anita, seventy eight?

Okay, and you're still working.

I have a referral real estate license.

Oh I don't know what that means, but okay, yeah, things I get paid if I give a referral app. Well, you need you need a license for that.

Yes, I didn't know that.

In any case, I want you to talk to a medical malpractice attorney and you can go to handle on the law dot com because we have medmal attorneys on the website Handle on the law dot com. And I know you can't see the computer. Maybe someone's going to do it for you. And how blind are you?

They cannot make my dis division better? It's not even as good as it was before.

Right now, I'm not Yes, I understand that you had said that how blind are you? Is what I'm asking, Anita.

Well, let's see, I have a hard time unless I know what it is seeing up eating scrambled eggs, mac and cheese or mashed potatoes.

Okay, so here's the way I here's how I determine Yeah, here's the way I determined blindness. Okay, using a seeing eye dog as sort of mid grounds. So you're seeing eye dog minus or seeing eye dog plus. And I'm assuming, based on what you said, it's seeing eye dog minus, which is better than plus.

You get that, but.

It's it's still a yeah. No, it's still a good case. And we are you driving before? Anita?

Oh?

Sure, yeah, yeah that's the case, Anita. You have no you have a good case. So go to handle on the law dot com and talk to one of our medical malpractice attorneys.

I think, yeah, I don't know if this would be the same mail practice thing. But my husband died in twenty fifteen, and he shouldn't have because I left the letters and notes posted on his bulletin boards to cancel on a Monday a procedure to drain the fluid from his lungs because I thought he was way too weak. And his other infectious disease doctor said, he doesn't need it, that's not his problem, and they had a cancelation and they did it anyway on Saturday.

Who canceled it?

You canceled it, No, I canceled the Monday or okay, Well.

It doesn't matter. I mean, I mean it doesn't matter for two reasons. One statutal limitations is gone. Number two is because you any part of a medical determination that you made he needs it, he doesn't need it. Nobody cares because you are not a doctor. I mean, it's going to be a doctor and make that decision. But it doesn't matter because the statutal limitations had passed, which is shame because if you bring a medical malpractice two cases, you get a discount.

You're not going to get two for the price of one.

But unless you bring if you bring three, maybe you get one free if you bring three, so we only pay for two. I don't know how it works in terms of the discount, but there's no case there with your.

I did contact an the attorney, and I did get all his records and I had everything ready, and then I came home from California to Pennsylvania where I was living then, and I caught a rare children's human metanoma pneumonia virus.

No, that's great. I mean, by the way, if this is pencil, is this Pennsylvania where this happened with your husband? Is it Pennsylvania? Have we lost in Nina? I guess we have. And the reason I asked, if it's Pennsylvania, then that's where the medical malpractice suit has to be filed and in Pennsylvania, and different states are different rules for in this case.

I'm sure there's a statute issue.

But if someone is sick who has the wrongful case and there is an illness of some kind, that doesn't allow him or her to go forward with a lawyer because you're in bed and you're sort of out of your mind or whatever, that may toll the statute which means that may hold off the statute. For example, if I can sue you and it's a three year stature. If you go overseas and I can't get hold of you, that tolls the statue.

Which means that it's just been extended.

Norman, Hi, Norman, welcome, Yeah, Hi, Bill.

Look, I got a question. It's a trust in an estate a question. And here's a question, Bill. My sister wants to buy my dad's house. Dad passed away six years ago. It's worth about seven hundred thousand dollars. She already owns a home.

Hang on, a single woman who owns a house. Wait, wait, let me ask you a couple questions or I can answer the trust. Okay, the trust owns the home.

Yes, I'm the trustee.

Okay, got it.

Okay, So anyway, she wants to sell her Inglewood home move to daddy's home. But she's wondering, how does the the Jarvis tax How would it help her buying Daddy's house in terms of taxes on Dad's house.

It's going to try. I think it's going to be reassessed. I mean, there's not going to be any taxes. You know. The trust, Well, there's an income to the trust. So you've got that and reassessment. So she's not going to have to pay any taxes other than look at a reassessment. Probably, so the property tax is going to go up because she is buying the property from a trust. And I

Help me with that.

That's where we're at on this is who can help me and give me a legitimate answer as to where I stand on this.

You have to call an accountant, Okay, the attorney way help me.

Yeah, you can be a state attorney will tell you also, but you want to call the account as far as the taxes that the trust has to pay and as far as her moving in, I'd called the county recorder's office.

Or yeah, she's.

Buying, she's buying the property.

Now now you want to buy the only issue, there's only two issues here, Norman. Is a comp property going to be assessed at a new tax base? When did your date? Yeah? When did you? Well, of course you worry about that because if the house is old, you're the tax base is very low. And if the purchase, if the house is purchased now, uh, and it's assessed now, the tax can triple or quadruple depending on what the

So that's those are the answer.

I wish I had a better answer, but that predicates me actually knowing something. See, that's always a problem. On this show because you call up and you assume I know the answer. What can I tell you? Good luck?

This is Handle on the Law.

This is Handle on the Law, marginal legal advice. All right, Hilanda, welcome to Handle on the Law.

Good morning. I have a question about the hippa law.

Okay, and all right.

This is what happened to me. Is I have senior advantage plus on with my medical insurance. I went to so that covers again. I went to the dentist that they told me that I was.

Able to go to.

And when I walked in the office and went to the dental hygh genius who had to be in her twenties, and all of my medical records were all over this computer. It was I was able to see it. It was in an office where the door was open. Everybody else could have seen it. This is my personal not that I have anything to hide, but all of my personal medical records on it. I told her, I said, how did you guys get this? And they said that the the the company that I have my medical insurance through,

Yeah, you did when you sign your Yeah, you did when you accepted the insurance company. Insurance companies, uh do share or they do ask for all kinds of medical information.

They do.

So now the issue is your insurance company has it. That's a given.

The other thing is transferring to the medical office.

Yeah. I don't know if that's a hip of violation because it was the previous h it was the previous medical It was the previous medical provider that sent the information. Do you know where that information was sent? For that the dentist office.

Got I know exactly where it came from because it's the service that I have. It's through Medical as a good well a medical insurance provider through in California.

So your information is sitting in a dentist office that you didn't agree was sitting in a dentist office.

Okay, I did not agree to.

Okay, So what's your question?

My question is do I have a recourse on this?

Because for what what do you Okay? Okay, all right, So let me ask you what would you like? What do you think that what do you think that's worth?

Well, they they wrote me and they said that, oh no, we are allowed to send your stuff. Well, I'll tell you what happened is that my medical records have been shared. I got another letter in the mail from an independent living system and said that my medical insurance has been breached and my medical records have been breached, and to go ahead and call Equifax and cancel all of my credit stuff because they don't know what information has been released to whatever this has gotten.

So.

They can't tell you where the medical records. Someone hacked your medical records or they sent it out.

By mistake against hip hop rules.

Well, right, I mean there may be a violation, but I don't think you're going to get anything out of it because you haven't been now, you haven't been damaged at all.

Well, yes, I have. How basically if you if you look at it, because well, I'm not saying I need money, That's not what I'm looking for. I just don't want my medical records us.

They're out there, you know, distribute I mean, okay, okay, but they're out there.

So you get to find out where they are, and you say.

Don't distribute them, you know, because you're in violation of HIPPA that they already have. I don't know what the sanctions are. I don't know what the sanctions are.

Well, I made a complaint to the company that I have my medical insurance through, and they said that, yes, they are able to send my medical records out, but I also have something that my authorizations for the use of disclosure information from cut.

No, I understand. Okay, So let's say there, Okay, So let's say there's a violation. Okay, all right, So let's say they're a violation. All right, somewhere through that they violated HIPPO though its medical procedure to medical person, that's a whole different, and you're dealing with both medical providers and insurance companies.

I don't know if.

That's a violation of HIPPA, but let's say it is. Okay, Now, what do you want them to drop it? All you make that demand, you complained the insurance company. They're not helping you because they're saying, no, we had the ability to do it.

Okay, So I had no recourse?

Yeah, no, I don't think so basically what that.

Yeah, I don't think so. I think you know, hip A violation is releasing the information out there to someone who is unauthorized to get it, and.

That's not what happened. John, Hi, John, Welcome.

So my mother was staying with me out of town and we got in a big fight and i don't remember what we were fighting about, but I'm pretty sure it was her fault, but she got madden stormed off, and on her way home, she decided to stay at a hotel. This hotel had partnered with a charity group to vocationally rehabilitate x CON and my mother was going back to hotel her hotel room, and this man followed it down the hall and stuck his foot in the door.

Yeah.

They yeah, they that's what they do.

They sue for I'm surprised it's not a fifty million dollar lawsuit.

That means nothing.

Suing for a million dollars or two million or five million, that's not going to happen.

You remember the dominion suit against Fox.

Yeah, yeah, that was they were asking for one point six billion dollars and they settled for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars or seven hundred and fifty million dollars. The company is worth one hundred million dollars and they were able to get seven hundred and fifty million, which is never been heard of.

Bill.

This hotel is one of the biggest hotel.

I'm not arguing that, you know, I'm not arguing that. All I'm saying is that there I tell you, if I'm part of this hotel, unless it is one of those people that were in the rehab, If it is simply somebody walking in the door and they were able to get in and it's a it's a public building. If I were the hotel, I would defend it, say no, it's just someone walking through, someone walking through the hall. They are we going to know what happened?

They know they subverted their hiring practices. To hire this ex colony. He was an employee of the hotel.

Oh okay? And and again what was he a drug addict?

I don't know.

I don't either, But it doesn't matter at this point. We're just talking about a potential defense. But what's your question?

Should I tell him to make her more, sue for more?

No, yeah, it doesn't matter. She's never going to get a million dollars anyway. I mean, what do you think, what do you think she's going to get? Someone breaking in a hotel room or walking in and and he walks.

Away, and he runs away, and yeah, I understand.

So I'm assuming she has already gone to a shrink and her life is devastated, and the shrink is prepared to say that her life is over, that she'll never sleep again, that every time she sees any man she immediately breaks down and hits the floor in a fetal position and moans, I mean, it's not that easy, it's not And then a million dollars ain't gonna happen, John, it ain't. So Yeah, why don't you call your lawyer and ask her to sue for fifty million? Sure? Why not?

Maybe fifty million is too low? Maybe one hundred million.

All right, before we bail, a quick word about your bad breath.

Now, do I know you have your breath bad breath?

Nah?

You probably don't because you never go to sleep, awake up. Do you have morning breath? Or you don't drink coffee? Well I do.

And you never eat foods that are spicy. All you eat is bland food, maainly dog food, which has no spice at all. Well, let me tell you eat garlic and onions and spicy food. I mean, obviously the bad breath happens in your mouth, but then it's still garlic and onions that go down in your stomach, and that causes a lot of bad breath right from your stomach. And a lot of people don't know that. But let
