Scott Richard Kaufman
National Association of Consumer Advocates
I attended law school in my mid 30s after earning my degree in speech communications, traveling a bit, waiting on tables, running a small food business and teaching tennis for eight years. Translated, I had a bit of a life and a well developed personality and world outlook at law school, unlike so many "kids" who go straight out of college and learn only to fight. My job is to see your issues from the legal and non legal sides. I need to see how the other side thinks as well to end up with successful results.
I do not come from an ivory tower. I've been poor, very poor, for years, and whatever I have I have earned it on my own. Remembering that path and that climb is essential to everything I do, every day and why I fight for all that you deserve and usually try to get you a bit more than the law allows. That is why you will find excellent reviews out there on my practice. We strive to please in your time of need.

- Q. Paid $79 to WePhone Apps Inc. for misleading six-month membership. Requested refund denied.
- A: Related Details: I am an overseas user of WePhone Apps Inc. and paid $79 for a six-month membership due to misleading advertising. The ad suggested the membership included a phone number subscription, but it only removed advertisements and provided no call services. I immediately requested a refund, but they refused, citing that my balance was used up and there were no remaining funds for a refund. I've shared their response and details about the misleading advertisement.

- Q. Chase bank account locked, unable to verify identity. Can't obtain passport, didn't receive balance check. What can I do?
- A: Sorry for your issues. Seems really odd. For 'easy' fix, try going in based on the following:
"Despite having documentation from Chase stating a check for the remaining balance would be issued, I never received it." Go into any chase branch, note that they said they sent it. Have them CANCEL it so it does not get cashed by someone else and re-issue the check???
The thing about the passport makes this whole story 'sound like' some bad acid trip?

- Q. Can I sue my landlord in California for fraud due to breach of rental agreement?
- A: That's a definite maybe. It's unclear what you may recover once you prove your case and if you do not have an atty fee clause IN the written lease, it may be hard to even find someone to represent you. Depending on what your lease says in describing the tenancy and the space you have rented, could also change results.
