I had a car repossessed several years ago, and now I received a judgment in the mail. After the case was settled, I was changing jobs and supporting myself. I called the finance company and asked if they could rewrite my loan since my vehicle was half paid for. I was a little short that month, so I offered $160 instead of the full $250 payment, which they accepted. I told them I would pay the rest when my income tax check came in. However, a tow company took my car after the finance company accepted the partial payment. Did the creditor commit a breach of peace?

My nephew and his wife stored appliances and a china cabinet in my garage several months ago when they were being evicted, promising to move it within a month. They have not moved it despite my requests, and I need the garage for my winter storage. I informed them I would move the items through a third party if they didn't remove them by the end of the month. They responded threateningly. Do I have the right to move the items, and what should I do if they refuse to remove them?

I received an administrative citation from a code enforcement officer for not allowing him on my property without a search warrant. The citation is for $100 and was issued in California. I previously had a similar issue where I was denied a jury trial, and I'm concerned about my rights. What are my options for disputing this citation and understanding my rights regarding jury trials and property searches?

I am a dual citizen (Nigeria and US) and an artist. My father's artwork, which was commissioned and owned by the state government in Nigeria, was vandalized by the governor of my birth state. I want to know if I can sue the governor in the US for my father's intellectual property and have him attend US court proceedings. Additionally, I want to know how affordable this legal process would be.

I need to know the proper procedures to handle a tenant who wrongfully quits a fixed term lease in Honolulu, Hawaii, and a replacement tenant is located. Specifically, can I use the security deposit and prepaid rent to cover the difference between the rent due under the fixed term contract and the rent paid by the replacement tenant?
