She's pretty good Joe..

Kelsey:

No, she's not.

Any good attorney should be able to cite a legal precident to support her position, preferably several. She has cited none.

And not just didn't-pay-don't-own cases. I want didn't-pay-repossesed-the-front-door-like-Kelsey-said cases.

Joe

Joe, no wonder you get banned all the time.  Making a statement, she is no good at her job because she will not respond to you, in the manner you woud like.

geez, thats the way little kids argue on the playground...  you won't talk to me cause you're no good, my daddy can beat your daddy up... 
Sometimes people don't waste their time...

Kelsey:

We all know why she won't respond. She can't. There exists no legal record of anyone anywhere repossessing unpaid property attached to real estate in the manner you describe without repercussions. I'm certain if there were, you would pay her fees to look it up to post it here.

Readers know now that they can't repossess countertops which have been installed but not paid for without suffering the consequences, despite your telling them the contrary.

As far as playground behavior, please cite when I've called you names such as Richard Whatever. Oh yeah, you can't substantiate that either.

Joe

Guy's all we do is hand it over to our debt collectors pay money when ever required, listen to their advice as we go and at the end of the day I don't want to repossess anything I want my money. We now have a caviat on a persons property and he can't sell his house with out paying me the outstanding money plus interest. It's a game and If I have to I'll will the money to the kid's I don't care so long as he pays his debt which increases every year.

I took this class and if you decide to touch anything with lead in it, be prepared to be fined. It is a $37,000 fine per violation. This means that if you violate a rule you get fined, but it also means you could have several violations per job.

Three violations including: not hanging the proper signs, not encapsulating the area in the proper manner, not notifying neighbors, not laying out the plastic the correct distance from the contaminated area, not using an approved vacuum and the list goes on and on.

Stay the hell away from these properties and find a certified company that can perform the task. Have the homeowner contact them direct. This will keep you in the clear when someone gets sick.

I was not aware that the EPA eliminated the waiver, I will have to look that up.

Joe, you are right about the waiver. The EPA removed the waiver so now every home built prior to 1978 will have follow the rules.

This will add a minimum of $400 per countertop removal. There is a chance you won't have to follow the rules because the removal will not disturb more the 6 square feet, but you better be right or the fines will put you out of business.

Andy, in the class I took the instructor told us to have a disclaimer in the contract something like this.  We are not responsible for lead contamination as contamination may already be present, unless the owner gets the entire area tested by a lab before work commences.

Do you happen to have legal disclaimer that we could add to our contracts?

Andy, no I don't, not a specific one.
