I moved from a house in October 2005 and requested the gas company to discontinue service on that date. Their records verify the call. However, no one showed up to shut off the gas on the day I moved. Almost 4 years later, I received a notice from a debt collection agency stating that I owe the gas company $1500. The gas company claims they could not get in to shut off the gas because the house has an inside meter and they could not access it. They are saying I am responsible for the bill from October 2005 until March 2006, even though I was not living there and the house was sold to someone unknown to me. Am I responsible for these charges?

My HOA's Articles of Incorporation state that its Board shall comprise of three members, while the CC&Rs and ByLaws reflect 'No less than three' but no maximum. The Board has been operating with five members and once with seven. Is the Board legal, and does it need to amend the Articles and Bylaws to increase the number of Board members?

What happens when you steal your sister's car, drive it from Texas to Kansas, and it breaks down, leaving it in a parking space? What will happen in court, and will you go to jail and get probation?

About a year ago, I helped a friend get out of jail by signing for his bond and paying $500 to the bondsman. The friend was released and went to court several times, but missed the last hearing. Now, the bondsman is charging me $5,000 and taking me to court. I am seeking a court-appointed lawyer in Waterloo, where the court will take place. I work part-time and receive state assistance. Is there anything else I can do?

I accidentally bumped into a former friend at a bowling alley and said 'excuse me,' but now he is threatening to file a restraining order for harassment and assault charges. Does he have a valid case?
