Court order for awarding prosecution

Posted on : 09-03-2010 | By : Legal Information | In : Legal Questions

Greetings.

Background:
I’m living in Florida.
I loaned someone some money, and they gave me their car to look after. Iv had the car in my possession for approx 5 years. It has not been registered or licenced in that time. I was never given the Title however, and since it was a friendly thing I didn’t write any kind of receipt. Iv tried to contact the previous owner.
I now wish to use the vehilce, but without a title I can do nothing.

I approached the DMV and they have dispatched a notice to the owner of the vehicle to the address they have on file.

But If I don’t hear from them, I have to take the next step.

Im advised to go to the court and get them to award me ownership of the vehicle (or to award me the title of the vehicle)
How would I word and format the request?. I would turn it into the clerk of courts correct?
What information would I need to include?

HOA fine b/c of wrong door color!

Location: Chantilly, Virginia
what happened: So my husband painted our door brown instead of the oak color that the HOA wanted (we later found out). we got the first hearing letter in Oct 2009 and since my wedding is the day before the hearing date, therefore i couldn’t attend. My now-husband called and explained the situation and ask the management what we can do in terms of what color should we paint the door to avoid the fee, they told us to write a letter to the Board of Directors (BofD). so we wrote the letter about how we couldn’t attend the hearing. Then a month later, we got a bill of $900 fine for the door. We were furious and called the management again. And of course, they told us to write to the BofD again. So we wrote a letter explain how we wanted to work with them to figure out the color to avoid the fine. Still no words, no calls, no letter from them for months. then we got another bill with late fee this time for the $900 charges. my husband and i went to one of the semi-annual HOA meeting and told them face to face about what happened. The owner of the management company was there and said he would look into it and gave us an answer. we dealt with him for few days and re-send all the letters we had to him and all he told us was he would ask the BofD to review again and notify us. So few weeks pass by and we got a letter from a paralegal about how the BofD rejected our request (once again) and we had to pay the fee. My husband and i walked over to one of the BofD’s house to try to talk to her about this issue and not only she refused to talk to us, she said it’s not legal for her to talk at the point and we should talk to their paralegal. So we called the paralegal and she told us she’s only the paralegal and we had to talk to the BofD. What the heck??!! so few days ago, we got an official court order to appear on the court for our “debt” and this time, it has the $900 + late fee + attorney fee, total of $1400!!! it’s crazy!!! it’s not like we didn’t try to resolve this issue, but their lack of communication and unresponsiveness should cost us money! i don’t know what to do right..should i appear on court and defend ourselves or should i try to negotiate and pay only half ($450 i am only willing to pay half of $900)? and what are the chances that the judge will be on our side if we go to court? oh btw, we live in Chantilly, Virginia. Please help and thanks!

My husband won a W.C settlement and will never work again and now is getting his SSDI check. But W.C is taking out $600.00 a month out of his SSDI check every month until he pays back the money he got from the W.C settlement. Can they do this? If so why even file a claim.

I failed to complete community service and now have a court date. I failed to complete a prior community service assignment due to lack of transportation which resulted in a re sentencing to more community service. I was originally charged with unlawful dealing with a child for purchasing alcohol for a 17 year old. I live in New York State. What can happen? Should I seek an attorney?
