A foreclosure judgment has been made against my mother's estate, and a sale date is scheduled for 3 weeks. I am the sole beneficiary and have been representing the estate in the foreclosure suit. I believe there is evidence of predatory lending practices by the original broker/lender from whom my mother procured the loan. If my evidence is substantial, how might I proceed: Can I request that the judgment be reopened and file a third-party suit against the broker/lender? Can you suggest other possible strategies for using these charges to stop the foreclosure?

I have a truck loan from Capital One. I bought the truck in January of this year from a dealer. The dealer was supposed to place a lien on the truck at the time of purchase with Capital One as the lien-holder, but he did not. Now, I'm being told by Capital One that if I don't have a lien placed on the truck in their name, they will find me in default. My payments are on time every month. Can they do this?

We have two companies that are separate but owned by the same owners and located in the same building. One company offers paid vacation and sick time to its employees, while the other does not. Can we legally do this or do we have to offer paid time off to all employees?
