There are occasions where the consumer clearly is in default yet the lender's violations of relevant laws can result in a canceling out of any balance the consumer would otherwise owe and, in some cases, placing money in the consumer's pocket. Take good care and if you don't know, don't guess and don't take hints from folks who do not know...contact someone who knows and take heed to good advice and counsel.]]> by johnoneal <![CDATA[What I Am Doing and Happy 2023 to You!]]> https://www.oneallawoffice.com/?p=60417 2023-01-01T00:29:05Z 2023-01-01T00:29:05Z failure to deliver title and registration within legally allotted time frame (30 days in North Carolina) ♦ Wrongful repossession practices (even in some cases where the consumer is in default) ♦ Traffic tickets (Guilford, Forsyth, Randolph, Rockingham, Davidson, Iredell Chatham, Orange, Craven, Jones, Onslow, Lenoir and possible other counties) ♦ Mentoring younger/newer lawyers (a true win-win situation as they keep me going and teach me things constantly!) ♦ Encouraging the growth, education, and creation of more consumer lawyers (not nearly enough of us as there need to be) Note these are just a few of my many projects and endeavors so you can tell I am quite busy.

Call an attorney!]]> https://www.oneallawoffice.com/?p=59835 2022-07-11T09:46:25Z 2020-09-12T22:19:33Z
  • Check to see if your phone number is on the Do Not Call Registry. If it is not registered, register today. (this may be a requirement..)
  • Save all voicemail messages and text messages (this is your evidence)
  • Contact an attorney who handles these cases. I represent persons across North Carolina who have had their rights violated by telemarketers and even debt collectors. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Telemarketing Sales Rule, and North Carolina Telephone Solicitation Act are designed to protect your privacy and provide remedies when your privacy has been violated. Monetary damages can be quite high and can send a message to the company or person who was ringing your phone.
    • Do not try to handle the case yourself as there are numerous pitfalls and technicalities that could mean your "do it yourself" approach could fail even if you give your best efforts. I am here to help. Reach out to me so we can discuss your situation and assess your options.]]>         On Behalf of O'Neal Law Office <![CDATA[Flashback: Debt Settlement Companies, Vehicle Maintenance, Free Cash? and More]]> https://www.oneallawoffice.com/?p=59830 2020-07-19T23:23:39Z 2020-07-25T18:30:05Z here for a flashback to my Law and Life Newsletter which has since been replaced by this Blog. And definitely visit the North Carolina unclaimed property website to see if you have any unclaimed money/property.  To search for unclaimed money/property in other states, click here. Thank you for all you who supported me way back then and even now. Hope you find some helpful information (and maybe some money) from this decade-old newsletter!]]> On Behalf of O'Neal Law Office <![CDATA[A Few Quick Tips for Law and Life]]> https://www.oneallawoffice.com/?p=59826 2020-07-19T22:59:59Z 2020-07-23T13:30:07Z
  • Cherish your family especially the elders; they have lots of wisdom and things to share that can make you better.
  • Do not be your own lawyer unless you are willing to take the loss when things do not work out as you planned.
  • Ask a lawyer to see if you need a lawyer before you decide to be your own lawyer.
  • Do not ask people to remind you to do something; if it is important enough for you to do, it is important enough for you to set your own reminder.
  • Never just pay a traffic ticket unless you know the consequences of doing so.
  • Self-confidence is a good thing but cockiness is not.
  • This one is for the men: treat the women in your family like queens. The benefits of this are endless.
  • Paying one's debts is (usually) required but putting up with harassment, indignity, and illegal collection activity is not.
    • Think on these and put them into practice and definitely share with your family and friends. I appreciate your support and wish you good things in the days to come. Stay safe out there.]]>
