Asked by Wiki User

Answer

As long as you were advised that a recording would take place, no laws were broken as employers sometimes do that so that the employee can't come back and say, "I didn't agree to that, or I didn't say that" With a recording of your conversation they have proof of what was said and what you agreed to.

How do you expunge eviction from public record?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, if you are asking if you can physically remove eviction filings from court records, the answer is 'no'; however, within certain parameters, the matters can be sealed from public viewing. If you are asking if you can remove eviction entries from your credit report or from your rental history record/file, then the answer is 'yes' within very stringent parameters. There are certain laws that DCRs (data compilation companies) are supposed to follow that, ofetntimes, they do not. So, your information is made available too soo, beyond the legal length of time to report this information and with invalid information or information that is not updated. The first thiing that you want to do is find out what your prospective landlords will see when they view your credit report and your rental history record and the best way to do this is for you to pull your credit report and look in the public records section for anything (judgment(s) ) related to your eviction. Then, have a company like RemoveEvictions.com pull your Rental History Report to see if any evictions show up on your record. Sometimes, when there is no judgment disposition (settled before going to court), your eviction information will still show up when your prospective landlords run your background check. You do not want to be sitting in the property management's office and have this information come up...especially if you have stated that you have no evictions on your record (by going on the information found in your credit report alone). Once you know what's on your record, the aforementioned company (removeevictions.com) has methods to have a good percentage of evictions removed, I'm told.

Do you have to deal with a collection agency to resolve a debt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO. Once you enter into an agreement with a collection agency no one else can collect against that debt. If you have other debts outstanding not covered in the agreement then another agency may be authorized to try and collect those debts. Collections agencies do not sue people. They can ask the courts to award a judgment or wage garnishment in order to help collect bad debt.

What does government do to enforce consumer-protection regulations?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The scales at which economies perform and the reach the players in a market have are been constantly challenged and consequently stretched. The complexity has been rising since the Industrial Revolution at a considerable speed. Such advances have made common law principle of Caveat Emptor obsolete in today's market condition.

Today's market is highly competitive, with huge product diversification. The large variety of goods and services on offer along with aggressive marketing strategies make the customer very vulnerable to exploitation and misrepresentation. The customer cannot be expected to forsee all the possible problems, implications, defects, etc. in the goods or services being offered.

Such circumstances have made it essential for the modern State to intervene and assure the welfare and protection of consumers.

How do you check on contractors reputation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you want to know whether or not you can trust a home improvement contractor ask them for a couple of references from people he has already done work for. You could also call the Better Business Bureau to see if anyone has lodged a complaint against the contractor you are wishing to hire.

At the same time, you should make sure to ask them the right questions before hiring them. By doing so, you'll to a large extent be able to filter out the bad ones.
