Do you have a recent Lenovo laptop computer and frequently get a crash screen referring to a driver power state failure? The error message is DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I personally have had this problem since I purchased my Lenovo Y410P last year.  Apparently Y510P owners are reporting the the problem also, and perhaps the error affects other […]

I’m just starting my investigation into a complaint against World Law Group.  This company has a one star rating with the BBB, and a quick google search shows 803 hits on “World Law Group” at ripoffreport.com only.  To add to the confusion, there appears to be more than one unrelated company doing business under the […]

Since I initially posted about Voyager Financial Group. I’ve received multiple calls from people who assigned military pensions.  It is illegal for enlisted military members to assign pensions under 37 U.S.C. 701.  (Commissioned officers may assign pensions up to certain limits.) 38 U.S.C. 5301 contains limits on assignability of V.A. pensions.

I am investigating the role of Copart, Inc., a company that showed up in the NMVTIS report of two rebuilt vehicles that I am working on.  If you have any information relating to this company, please send me a message.

The National Motor Vehicle Traffic Information System (NMVTIS) is a federally coordinated database that acts as a clearinghouse for state motor vehicle titling information, including reports of total losses, flood damaged vehicles, etc.  NMVTIS doesn’t sell its reports directly to the public though, it authorizes multiple third party venders to handle inquiries and print reports.

Midland Funding, LLC files more lawsuits in Indiana than any other civil plaintiff.  As a consumer attorney, I have seen the lazy affidavits prepared by Midland representatives, and because of this, I am astonished consumers don’t contest lawsuits filed by Midland more often.  If you have been sued by Midland, read this article  published last […]

They identify senior citizens in need of cash and tell them they can get them money secured by their pensions.  Here’s where it gets weird.  We think of arrangements where you get money now and pay back […]
