If you’re looking to cancel a timeshare with Diamond Resorts, the first (and most important question) is: how long ago did you sign the contract? If it was recently, and you decide you want to cancel, you need to act now. Because of state laws, most timeshare contracts have what is called a “cooling off” […]

Many people who end up in timeshare contracts decide at some point that they want out. There can be many reasons for this, ranging from fraud by the salespeople who sold it to you down to simple changes in life circumstances where you don’t have enough money to pay for it anymore. One thing many […]
Usually you actually will have to do something called arbitration instead of a lawsuit: Diamond Resorts generally includes an arbitration clause in its contracts.

Celsius Network has been in the news recently for halting withdrawals of cryptocurrencies on its exchange—even though it advertises unequivocally on the main page of its website that you can “access your coins whenever” and that you can “swap or withdraw your crypto at any time, with no fees.” So if you’ve had your withdrawals […]
If you’re in the cryptocurrency space, you’ve probably heard the horror stories about what can happen with cryptocurrency exchanges. Ever since Mt. Gox that’s been a well-known risk.

Let’s say you’ve bought a car at a dealership. You’ve even driven off with it. But months and months go by, and they still haven’t given you the title, and you still can’t register it in your name. That’s not normal, and it’s not OK. Most states have a time limit for how long car […]
