Warranty Law

A warranty is a promise made by a manufacturer or a seller of a product that guarantees some aspect of the product. In other words, it's a promise to stand by the product and to protect consumers against damages or injuries caused by defective products. Warranties can be express or implied. At the very least, consumers receive the basic protection of the implied warranty of merchantability and the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Consumer warranties are protected by federal law, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. If you think that a manufacturer has committed a breach of warranty, please locate a defective product attorney to review your warranty law claim by using the Lawyers.comsm defective product lawyer directory.

No Harm, No Foul?

My wife and I are in the process of building a house in Alabama and are dealing with a mortgage company in Florida. While attempting to send us some documents that contained all of our personal information our consultant omitted my middle initial out of my e-mail address and sent all of our information to someone else! They're offering to waive a document fee to make up for our out of pocket expenses for having to lock down our credit reports but I'm afraid to accept their offer because I do not want to release them from being liable for any damages that may have already been done. I guess my questions are these, should I accept their offer to waive the fee, and can they be held liable for their negligence?

Time to reach out to another branch of the government.

IRS direct deposited my stimulus check in May of 2008. IRS searched and verified the correct account and routing numbers were used. IRS Advocates traced the money to my bank.

Please help.
