I sold my deceased mother's car to my cousin for $2500 with a verbal agreement that she'd pay me $100 per month. It's been since May 2009 and she hasn't paid anything. Can I take legal action to get the money since the agreement was verbal?

I was doing a residency in medicine and left without a certificate. I am facing obstacles in my current residency and have proof of discrimination from some faculty members. My advisor suggested I have 95% of the job done but lack confidence for the second year. They are offering me 3 months of remediation with the possibility of a certificate afterward, but I don't want to continue in this field. How should I file a discrimination complaint?

I have a reverse mortgage, but the company bought an insurance policy, paid the taxes, and sent me a notice to pay $600 a month to compensate them or they'll take ownership of my home. My gross income is $754.00 a month, and I wasn't paying that much before they gave the mortgage. My home is assessed at $134,000, but it appraised at $100,000 when the mortgage was approved 3 years ago, and last year it appraised at $81,000. I'm on Social Security and 77 years old, in less than good health. What should I do?
