Two years ago, I donated a vehicle to a charitable organization and filed a release of liability with the CA DMV. The new owners failed to register the vehicle, leading to it being towed and the bill being issued to me as the last registered owner. The case was sent to a collection agency, The Rickenbacker Group, which has had complaints about fraudulent claims. I provided them with my release of liability, and they verbally agreed to drop the claim. However, the claim remained on my credit report when I tried to buy a new car. I disputed this with the credit bureaus and contacted the agency, which now claims I never provided proper documentation. I have since obtained extensive proof of non-liability but cannot contact the agency as their phone lines are disconnected, their website is removed, and they have no forwarding address. I have tried due diligence in contacting them and need to know where to go from here.

My brother was involved in a criminal case where he was the victim of a severe beating and was later arrested due to his background. We hired a lawyer who took our money and claimed to be representing him, but it turned out he was also representing the other parties involved in the attack. Is this legal, and is there anything we can do about it?

I got a ticket in Mesa, AZ because a cop thought I tossed a cigarette butt out of the car window. I had not—had put it in an empty soda can—but did not find the can to show the cop. The max penalty is $500 and 6 months. I can afford neither. How should I proceed?

My husband has a felony conviction over 21 years ago. He wrote to the court and sent in the money for expungement, but they replied 'not at this time.' We want to work as team drivers for a trucking company, but they won't hire him. What should he do?
