My manager sent an email to the entire Las Vegas Management team about my daughter's emergency appendectomy without my knowledge or permission. I only told her about the surgery because I needed time off to care for my daughter. I was terminated after expressing my discomfort with the disclosure. Is this a violation of HIPAA laws, and do I have a right to expect a reasonable amount of privacy in this situation?

While it might technically be a minimal violation of HIPAA regulations, the situation is complex. HI...

In 2005, I had an MRI due to an auto accident. The medical imaging place failed to bill my insurance and later sent the account to collections without my knowledge. I disputed the mark on my credit report and it was removed. Now, the collection agency claims I still owe double the original amount. If I already disputed it and the bureau removed it, can they put it back on my credit report? What can I do?

My deceased father had medical debts turned over to collection agencies. His disability was approved after his death. What is the statute of limitations for medical debts in Virginia with respect to the administrator paying off the debts? I have contacted the hospital, but they do not know which collection agency is handling the account. What are your suggestions?

I bought a car for $18,891 with the seller stating it was an 'out of the door' price, meaning all included. However, I noticed on the sales contract that I am being charged $1,724 in tax on the car price. I didn't have a chance to read all the paperwork thoroughly before signing due to the fast pace of the transaction. What should I do to address this issue, and do you think I have a case if I open a dispute?

We signed a 1-year lease, but due to financial difficulties, including job loss and ongoing medical treatments, we can no longer afford the apartment. Our lease ends in October. Is there any way to terminate the lease early so we can move in with a family member?
