My attorney's family is very sick, and he is out of town to take care of them, so he did not appear in court to represent me for the last 2 months, and the court may dismiss my case because my attorney has not appeared in court. I filed the Statement case management in pro per. Will the judge accept it? Do I need to send the proof of service to the defendant's attorney, my attorney, and the court? Can I use my sister to file the proof of service?

A collection agency has added a comment to my credit report stating that I am disputing the account, which is time-barred as the statute of limitations has expired. I need to have this comment removed to obtain a loan to purchase a home. The credit reporting agencies say it can only be removed by the collector. How do I accomplish this and ensure the SOL is not restarted?

My husband and I co-signed an auto loan for our granddaughter, but she hasn't been able to pay due to not having a job and issues with drugs. Her mother has been paying the loan and insurance. We want to take over the car to sell it so my daughter doesn't have to continue paying. What legal steps can we take?

My boss hired an old friend who is now my direct report, despite the friend being less qualified than other candidates. There have been multiple performance issues and complaints of inappropriate sexual comments from the friend, which my boss has ignored. HR attempted to intervene, but my boss instructed me to manage through the issues until the one-year mark. Now, my director plans to remove the friend as my direct report and conduct the annual review himself to avoid another poor review and reduce the chance of HR insisting on a performance improvement plan. Is this illegal, and do I have legal rights in this situation?

I received a judgment on a husband and wife that did not pay their rent. The judgment was from 1/9/04 for $9,500. Can I still file for 'Application and order for appearance and examination' to get them back into court? I have the form and it appears to require a date to be set by the court for the hearing before I serve them with the notice. Unfortunately I am in Missouri now. Can it be done by mail through the court?

Our Association is in the process of choosing a new property management company. The Board of Directors (BOD) selected one company based on presentations and interviews, but the contract presented by the company significantly differed from their initial presentation, with a clause stating: 'This Agreement constitutes the full understanding of the parties and no prior or contemporaneous oral or written representations made by either party shall be binding upon other.' Could this contract be approved without a second vote of the BOD?
