I would think it would be in your lease, your and their responsibilities and obligations, I would check it and if they are not following their part, get a lawyer

The question still isn't easy to answer. Your best bet would be to contact a local attorney, or take the advise of the previous responder.\n\nBut the truth is, this is a free country and they can't make you do anything. The answer might be, however, do you want to continue to work for them and receive a paycheck?

You have to contact the State Corporation Commission in Texas (which will be in the state's capitol) or secretary of state to find out who their Registered Agent is.  Then you file the small claims against the company name, but use the registered agent as well on the small claims case document.  Then send it via certified mail to the registered agent.  if no registered agent, you can try sending the case via certified mail direct to the company, but I am not sure if TX law accepts service that way for a corp.

Not much to be honest.\n\nTexas is one of the few states that do not allow anyone except for the IRS and the Attorney General (for child support) to garnish wages.\n\nYou can send copies of the judgement to the three credit bureaus and have it reported...you can file a lein on any personl real estate or business he/she owns.\n\nOther than that, there is not much you can do in Texas

With Texas' homestead exemption, they can't touch your house.  The exemption also covers one car per person, so if you're married, both cars are covered.\n\nWages are also exempt from garnishment, except in the case of child support.\n\nIncome that is not a wage can be garnished or ordered turned over to a receiver.\n\nBank accounts, rents and royalties can be garnished.\n\nExemptions include social security benefits.\n\nWARNING For individuals living in Texas who are paid from an out of state location, there is case law (Baumgardner vs. Sou Pacific 177 S.W. 2d 317) to support taking a judgment from Texas, domesticating the judgment in the foreign state, then filing the wage garnishment there. Many creditors have used this strategy successfully.\n\nWhat they can do is put the unpaid debt on your credit report which will lower your credit rating and make life a bit harder since these days, everyone looks at your credit rating, for example prospective employers, insurance companies (even for your car insurance rates), and banks and other creditors (for loans), and landlords (to help determine how reliably you will pay their rent/lease payments every month).\n\nThey can turn the debt over to a collection agency that within certain legal parameters can call and hound you often, making life a real hassle.  You can get rid of the collection agency by formally (in legaleze) telling them to quit calling but one way or another, the creditor can become a real hassle.\n\nSeems like if you hold out long enough, they could change their mind after a while and settle with you for a smaller amount.  You also might consider talking to someone higher up in the chain who might be a bit more agreeable.  I would also suggest you get a book on negotiation techniques.  One is to start out a lot lower than $5,300, then work your way up. Your first offer should always be at least double the distance between the initial debt and where you want to end up (no matter how outrageous) so you both can compromise to the middle.  And don't give in too easily otherwise they will probably regret their decision to compromise at the level they did and change their minds or try to pull a fast one on you in one way or another afterward.

If your area has a 14 day rule...that is the standard.  I can have you sign a contract saying you are my slave, but slavery is illegal, hence it wouldn't be a valid contract.  I would make one more attempt at asking the pet dealer for your money back....and then i'd sue him in small claims court.

Talk to a lawyer. Nobody is going to be able to give you the highly detailed legal assistance you are seeking based on that short summation of your feelings about the situation.

Wow, sounds like a pickle.  First off have you confronted them on the issue of the contractual statement you both signed and agreed upon?? You need to confront them firmly on that and ask them if they themselves are breaking the contract.  Act like a lawyer and get tough.  You have your rights and as long as you are paying the agreed amount within the time limit given, you are should be legally safe.  Whether or not they are a legit agency that plays by the rules is another story.  \nTry contacting some government agencies regarding rights and commerce.  Try the phone book, online and through the library.  Even try the ACLU and ask them if they can refer to you the proper support network and then get some support.  Every large town should have a group that does free or low cost legal advice as well as representation.  Try those!  \n\nAlso, ask them why they are doing this beyond collecting the alloted amount that you are legally expected to pay.  Question them, challenge them...call them on the spot about what they are doing.  If they insist, tell them you are seeking legal counsel to see if what they are doing is legal?  \n\nJust get tenacious and find out from every free source what you need to, to protect yourself.  You have rights, remember that!

You have the right to remain silent. \nAnything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. \nYou have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. \nIf you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense. \nDo you understand these rights as I have explained them to you?

Check with state attourney general for a statement of what a tenant's rights are for.  She will probably be able to take him to small claims court and win.
