Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now there are cities and probably the ones you live in,
which buses are a big thing. You use buses. In
La nobody uses buses. We are a car town, always
have been and for the most part, always will be.
And so buses in La or like Vermin, you know,
(00:20):
I mean, yeah, you sort of have to put up
with them. And I just they get in the way
unless you're on a bus. And I actually don't know
anybody who uses the bus. I don't I've been here
for a very long time. All right, So what happens.
You have these bus lanes and since people don't pay
attention to buses and no care people parking bus lanes,
and so you have the meter maids come around and
(00:42):
they ticket people and it's a big problem. So here's
what Metro did La Metro is they have created a
new automated ticketing system to enforce parking violations in the
bus lanes.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And it bus stops.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It's a camera based technology and it's at the front
of the bus. And there someone's blocking the bus lane
as the bus comes in. Well, guess what, the license
plate is snapped and now they have someone who's violating
the law. Now, of course you can argue I was
(01:17):
just there for a second.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I was in part.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So what it does is it then has to be
confirmed by some human person, and then one SAT's confirmed,
then the ticket is issued. So they monitor and now
we get to deal with the technology.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's not really high end technology.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I mean they use technology when they do automatic license
plate readers for example when you toll roads, so human
to verify the violation, then the ticket goes through the mail. Now,
let me tell you something about southern California, which is
great fun if you ever get a ticket down here.
In this case, the fines go from two hundred and
ninety three for the first defense four hundred and six
(02:03):
dollars for second timer. For second timers. Now, one of
the things about southern California, La County particularly is when
you see no parking here, and here's the fine, for example,
car pool lane violations, four hundred and sixty one dollars fine.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I mean it's no small deal. You can triple that.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Because they are allowed to and they do quote give
you enhancement fees.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So it's a big, big hit.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So that's going to happen. La Metro expects to issue
one hundred thousand tickets a year pilot program already in place.
A lot of this stuff is revenue calls.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Really.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I mean, you get, for example, a speeding ticket, all right,
so the fine is pretty hefty, six to eight hundred dollars.
But guess what you're gonna end up paying a couple
of thousand in fines for that, not counting this DMV
issues and the insurance issues, just the finds. Because it's
all a revenue call. The more the merrier, all right,
let's go ahead and take some phone calls here.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
All right, Doug, you're right, Hello, Doug, welcome to handle
on the law.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Hi, Bill Hay. That Baby Shark song inspired me to
give you a call.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Now, no kidding, that's the whole point, Doug Worth.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Okay, my ninety year old mother has a condo worth
about seven hundred thousand, and years ago she needed money,
so I bought it from her in twenty and sixteen,
making monthly payments to her as if she's the bank.
And that's up till about twenty twenty seven, and I
have did it with legal documents and everything. I paid
the property tax the condos in my name and the
(03:47):
current balance of the remaining payment of principles about sixty thousand. Okay,
but she owes, she owes in excess of sixty thousand
in credit card debt, and she's in poor health and
might die before all of them to her are made,
and she has no other assets. So my question is,
can the credit card company say, hey, the condo or
(04:08):
the balance of payments by you, you know, on the
condo are owed to us by you?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No? No, because you only owe your mom the sixty thousand.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Her credit card debt is her credit card debt. That's it,
and it's one of those things where the condo goes.
I'm assuming the credit card debt is not secured by
the condo.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's just an unsecured loan.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So there, now they could sue her and go after assets.
But she doesn't have any assets. The condo's in your name, Doug.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
She's just owed some money.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And so just because she's owed with money, they could say, well,
you owe it to us.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay, you're dead.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now what you want to collect from someone who's dead?
And if you still owe her sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Would you be the only.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Would you be the only beneficiary of that if it
were to if you were to inherit it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, it's not believe inherance anymore, because I understand, but.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm just curious because if you owe her and she
dies and you're the only person out there, you'd be
owing yourself. Now, the point is you don't have to
worry about any of it. You're fine. And so when
they go out, here's what's gonna happen. They're gonna go
after her on the credit card dead and they're going
to send it to you and say, Doug's mom, you
(05:29):
are late in payment. And then you are going to
right back on behalf of Doug's mom saying she is
dead and cannot pay the bill. Then they're going to
send you another bill this is what happens to typically
for the same amount and saying you are now two
months late or three months late.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And then you write back saying she is completely dead. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Then they're gonna do it again, and on the third
time around, then you write back saying, clearly you don't
understand the content except dead, let's look it up together.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And so you're going.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
To be You're going to be just flying, Doug. You
if she's dead, you don't order the money anymore. You
wer a state the money. But you know, is the
estate going to sue you? That's why I asked if
E would be state what?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, there's no estate, she has no asset.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
All right? Are you the only one out there?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So the bottom line is you owe yourself sixty thousand
dollars and I wouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You're in good shape.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Coo.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
All right, and obviously that your mother in fact is
going to be completely dead. How close to completely dead
is she?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's hard to estimate. I hate the thing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh, I hung I'm sorry, I hung up on him.
I was going to go through that. I don't know why.
I just click that button by mistake. So Doug, that's
on me. Hello, Pat, you've been there for a bit. Welcome.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Learning?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I have a questions.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I have an Equinox car that has been in the
shop now for the fourth time. It's in there now.
I dialed this town two fifty lemon law lawyer, and
I signed a contract with them, sent all of the
paperwork to them. I have email, called them, text them,
(07:23):
and I've had no contact with them.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, how long is that? Okay, from the time that
you first emailed them, or let me put it this way,
from the last from the first time you emailed them
and they didn't respond, How long has that been and
how many attempts at contacting them has there been up
to right now?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I believe the first time that I contacted them was
in June, and just as recent as yesterday I called.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
How many times do you try to contact them? Pat?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Probably about six seven times?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, Well, i'd send them an email saying clearly you
don't want to do this, uh, and just find yourself
another Lemon law lawyer, Pat, there's not much.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Now you can't okay? Can I do that even though
I signed the contract?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah you can.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You always, always, always can fire a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Don't worry about that.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
People misunderstand or they misconstrue that once they sign a
contract with.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
The lawyer, they are now married to the lawyer. Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You always can toss a lawyer. So it's just time
to find another lawyer.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
If you're not happy with if you're unhappy with your lawyer,
you go someplace else like a doctor.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And hello, Anne, welcome.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Hi. I was on a celebrity cruise recently in Norway,
and then one of the points, I fell on a bus,
you know, on land. So I went to the ship's
medical and they dressed my wounds and everything, and they
took a blood test, which turned out to be wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Wait wait, they took a blood test.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Why if you wanted you fell down, why would they
take a blood test? You don't know, all right, So
what happened the result of them taking What happened is
the result of them taking your blood test.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
She said, my red red blood count was dangerously low,
five point two.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And she was the doctor. Yes, yes, okay, the doctor
board the ship.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
All right, she insisted I get taken an ambulance. They
sent me to the local hospital. She said I could die,
and I said, I told her I've been under care
and it wasn't that low. But anyway, in the meantime,
the ship is going to sail, so they pack up
(09:51):
my son and my all my belongings, pack them up,
dumblus on the on the doc.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Interesting, and you're there, you were there on the dock
in Norway, right, I'm assuming that your Norwegian is not.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (10:09):
All right, then go to the hospital. They take my blood.
It's fine, it's well, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So, Anne, you're a pretty good shape doctor misdiagnosed here
you're on a small town on the peride Norway.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Yeah, my leg was, you know, a beatty bruise. I
had cut on my arm.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Never mind, but they still should have Yeah, but they
still should have kept you aboard the ship. I mean
that's not a problem. Yeh yeah, all right, So what's
your question?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Anne?
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Okay, so we we spent uh that whole night and
we luckily found a cab caught up with a ship
at the next port.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Would they let you back where? They let you back
on the port.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
But they said I had to get a letter of
approval from that doctor letter shape to travel.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Kind of from which doctor doctor on the ship or
the doctor that you Okay, did you get the letter
from the doctor in Norway?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Okay, So and you got the letter and you.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Were back on the cruise correct, Yes, all right, so
you were out one night.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yeah, but there was a great imagine taking a cab.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
No I understand, no, no, no, don't know. I'm not gonna
I'm not going to minimize this.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
And by the.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Way, yeah you sounded.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And I mean I'm not I want to minimize this. Okay,
So what's your question?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
What should I do?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You call them up and go what should you do?
What would you like to do?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
This is you talking to the cruise company and say,
this is what you cost me. You cost me a night,
you cost me a cab trip, you cost me a
night not on the cruise ship, and you put me
on a pier in Norway. And I don't speak a
whole lot of Norwegian, especially in a small town. What
(11:59):
town are we talking about?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
I think it's called all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, No, I've been to Norway. I don't remember that town.
I really don't.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Yeah, it's a small time. Luckily it wasn't the last
town there.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, all right, So anyway, that's what you do. That's
what you do. You call them up there.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I don't know what the lawsuit would be, but I
think if I mean, it's a big it's a big
time cruise company.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So I think the phone call.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I think if you just explain it, yeah, someone should
reach out. And if not, man, I don't know, then
you got a company that is Unfortunately, it's just not
worth going through the trouble of any legality.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That's the hassle. Bob Hello, Bob.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Welcome, Hi, handle, you're gonna like this. No, you don't
want to pay? Okay, go ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, so
car insurance. I don't want to pay car insurance.

to the DMV and a bond that.
Speaker 8 (12:57):

But thanks for calling. George. Hello, George, Welcome, George.
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Hand have we have received an eviction notice from the
attorney of the landlord. He sent it to the tenth
of July, and uh, we have to get out the
fourteenth of August. In the letter it says we have
to return the keys.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Okay, but hang on a minute. He's telling you you

Speaker 2 (13:39):
George? Has there been an eviction filed?
Speaker 9 (13:44):
It is an eviction? Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay? Is it a have you been sued? Is it
an unlawful detainer? Is it a court document that says
you have to be out by the fourteenth?
Speaker 3 (13:54):

No, no, we've been in the in the twenty five years.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Are going to destroy the person one?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
All right?
Speaker 9 (14:00):
But so you just say no, and well the thing
is like they did not give us two weeks by the.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh, they have to give you a lot more than
two weeks.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But oh no, no, no, they have to give you six days, George,
and there's relocation money that has to be paid. Oh no, no, no,
you don't just walk out the door because a lawyer
says you've got to leave, not in La County.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
No, no, no, excuse me, because the eviction they give us,
the city give us an extension from last August to
this August because we're a senior of me and my wife.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Okay, so all right, so they gave you a year,
so there's plenty of notice. There's plenty of notice. The
only way to get you out is so the notice
was given. The only way to get you out is
to if you don't want to go, they have to
evict you. They have to file a court case and
evict you.
Speaker 9 (14:57):
Well, the lawyer said this an eviction, but they didn't
give us a real it's not an eviction.

is the date.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
But if you say no, he's got to go to.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Court George's got to go to court just because a
lawyer says, though, and you are entitled to relocation money
thousands of dollars.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Yeah, they you know, the series says we have to
get like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well I don't know about twenty five No, I don't
know about twenty five grand. But talk to a landlord,
tenant attorney, talk to a landlord t There are organizations
out there that help tenants all the time. Just start
putting in you go to Google, put in tenants Rights,
LA County Evictions. You got all of that, and you'll
get Yeah, you know, you'll do okay because a lawyer
says you gotta leave.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1 (15:46):

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Welcome to you handle on the law.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Yes, I've got a question.
Speaker 10 (17:05):
My wife passed about a year ago and she held
the registration on a trailer for a her son's father.
He has to get it reregistered and be able to
use it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hang on, she's holding the registration, does does it belong
to UH? I guess it's her ex who she had
this kid with. Uh, it was it his?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Not legally legally it's hers. Uh but uh, do you
want it to go to this guy or do you
want it? Or where are you?
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I wanted to go to the I wanted to go
to this guy.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
What since she's been deceased for a year, how do
I get that him become his? And I don't need
to probate because I didn't get the admistray and for
me to actually go pay the whatever costs have become probated.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, and there is what And at this point, there's
no will, there's no probate, there's nothing open right right, Okay, this.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
One is you.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You would have access to it because this is your wife,
and even if it was her name, it would go
to you. However, you wanted to go to her son's father.
And this is one. I mean, I at this point,
I wouldn't know because I've never seen this, but I
think if you go to the DMV, even with him
(18:29):
and a certificate showing that your ex or showing that
your wife has died, it's an athlete.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's what it is, just a death certificate, that's easy.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And then if then the DMB will tell you what
to do because it may have to be transferred to
you because you're a spouse, and then you can transfer
it back to him. So that's a DMV question, but
they're pretty good about telling you this.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Another thing you do. Are you remember the Auto Club?
Speaker 8 (18:54):
I am not.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh, I would join the Auto Club because they're really
good at this stuff. When it comes to car registration,
they're terrific and you go in and just go on line,
make an appointment and do you just it's great and
it's not very expensive. You should be a member of
the Auto Club anyway, only because I love you know.
I'm not pitching the Auto Club and I'm not doing
commercials or anything for them. But I've always been a
fan of the Auto Club because when it comes to
(19:17):
registration and that sort of thing, they are it's far
easier just to walk.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
In the door than going into.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
A d m V.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So give that a shot. Sharon, Hi, Sharon, welcome, good morning.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Though, yes, ma'am okay, I have I have a sister
that had She has really bad mobility issues, so I'm
thinking about getting her one of those right on you know,
things can scoot around, yeah with.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The fat people's the fat people's scooters.
Speaker 12 (19:46):
Well she's skinny, but she's I know, but yeah, they're but.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It's it's we all know.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You go to Costco and it's basically for fat people exactly.
They don't have to watch all right, So you're thinking
of getting her one of those scooters. Okay, fair and
nice of you, by the way.
Speaker 12 (20:02):
Yeah, well you know, she I feel like she feels
like she's homebound and if she had a way to
get out.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, they're great, No, no, there was no question having
those changes everything for people, you know, as much as
I'm I make fun of people's handicaps. By the way,
what kind of handicap does she have that I can.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Make fun of.
Speaker 12 (20:22):
She had a mild stroke about five years ago, so
she's week on one side, but then she broke her hip.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh so she's like a little.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Weevil, you know, wobbles.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And it's oh yeah, yeah, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
So anyway, I think, you know, she can even drive
it over to my house, my house, book places and stuff,
and I know that every corner has a ramp on it,
you know for wheelchairs, except for a major intersection in
my home and on that corner. The kicker is there's
(20:57):
an over fifty five and over old folks building there.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh man, that's okay. Now let me ask you what
city are you in. I'm in Fullerton, Okay, Fullerton, Orange County.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, that is really interesting. And they don't have one
on that corner and it's a major and it's a
major intersection, and it's near an assistant living facility or ah.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It's sixty five and older.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well that's still yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I just you know, any of us over fifty five,
you know we're old as crap.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You know that exact Yeah, okay, and you want to
know what to do? Yeah, okay, that gets easy. You call.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
First of all, you call the city quickly, and I
mean right now. You call your council person who represents
you to the city right now.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Fullerton is I believe in Orange County.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
If I'm not mistaken, you call your county supervisor right now.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Uh, and you tell them that because this is no
small thing.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Now, the legal advice that I would give, have her
take that little scooter and go over the curb and
take a flyer and literally start rolling down the pavement.
And that'll get people's attention. Probably a pretty good lawsuit took.
Speaker 12 (22:18):
All right, all right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, that's that's a big one.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I mean, there's a reason that those corner well, I
mean she gave the reason why the corner ramps are there,
so people who have limited mobility, are in wheelchairs, are
in those little scooters, can get around and to have
one not at a major intersection today, Yeah, something's definitely wrong.
Something not kosher in Denmark. And I have no idea
(22:43):
who keeps kosher in Denmark anyway? Oh, okay, you know
we go, Oh all right, Mike, Oh Mike, what can
I do for you?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah? Going back in twenty yeah, twenty twenty three. In October,
received a DMB registration bill for one of my vehicles.
I went to my bank and went to my bank
bill pay and sent them the two hundred and fifty
six dollars. In twenty twenty five, I received a letter
(23:15):
from the DMB where they reissued the registration with a
huge fine send They never received the money. So I
went back to the bank and said what happened? They said,
I don't know. We sent it where we were supposed
to send it. I went to DM b DMD said
we don't care. We didn't get They don't.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Care, that's all.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, it doesn't. They just get the money, Mike. All
I care about is getting the money. They don't care
where it comes from, and so they have nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
To do with it.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
So I ended up paying well over three hundred dollars
out of the fine.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
All right, and so and your bank said we and
the bank just says we don't know, right.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
No, the bank says, we sent it where we were
supposed to see.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Okay, Mike, you can track that down, and that's what.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You have to do.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You can't bill.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Why not the bank.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Won't help you track down a payment that was made?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, well, let me tell you. I've been to the
bank five times, two different banks, talked to many different people.
They say it was done with a electric transfer, and
they have an electric transfer number, and they have what
they call proof of payment. So they say, we don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
The money was paid, okay, And they gave you the
proof of payment show wait to say, did they show
you the transfer document?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Did they show you.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
This was where it went to this account and this
was the date. Do you have that in writing?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yes? I have?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
What they call electric.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay, so you got the proof. All right, So Mike,
you have the proof. Now you go back to DMV
and say, is this the account?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I did that? Bill?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I went back and they said.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
It wasn't the account. They said it it was not
their account. Correct.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
No, No, they didn't say that. Two different DMVs use
the same exact line. We don't care. We didn't get
the money.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But you can prove they got the money.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, then you go up the Then.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You go up the food chain, Mike, you go up
the food chain, you talk to the supervisor, and then
you you know, the DMV is a governmental department, is
the state of California. And then you go and start
making uh, you start making claims against the DMV. I mean,
you got to pay everything while you're doing that, but
you're making claims against you.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, that's what you have to doing. That's what you do.
You may claim, You make a claim and go up
the food chain. That's all you can do. Yeah, that's it,
all right, nothing more, nothing less. Okay, Uh, here we
go a couple of good ones here.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, Mark, not so good, actually pretty boring, but
I'll still answer it.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Mark, What can I do?
Speaker 13 (25:57):
I Greek kind of boring. Listen, I am had a
real estate attorney right up a revocable license agreement, just
kind of a property line situation about two years ago,
and we're finally getting to the point where we're going
to sign it. And the question I have is when
he originally wrote up the or the agreement. It was
(26:19):
back in twenty twenty two, So it's written on the contract.
Can I cross that out my hand?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And then I ask you have you you said have
you signed it yet or not?
Speaker 13 (26:29):
No, it's not been signed.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Then why don't you just reprint it with the dates?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Well?
Speaker 13 (26:34):
I was thinking about that, but I don't have the technology,
and then I have to contact the attorney and have
him redo the content.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Now, if you have the document, you scan the damn
thing and you just sign it.
Speaker 13 (26:43):
Yeah, I guess we could do that.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I know you don't have the technology, So now I'm
going to ask you a real high tech question. Do
you have access to a copier? Do you know what
a copier is?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (26:57):
I do. Okay, I was thinking about doing a little
cut and paste.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You can do that. You can do that, You can
do whatever you want. Print it out and just take
the new dates in there, and you're fine.
Speaker 13 (27:06):
Yeah, it is gonna be a notarized it's gonna be
Oh yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, you're fine. Just put the new dates in. Uh
That's what I would do. Uh yeah, and then you're fine.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Just put the new dates in. That was easy, all right. Jimmy, Hi, Jimmy, welcome.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Hello Bill. Yes, thank you Christians for you. I owed
the house in North Hollwood, California, and the neighbor next
door to me they bought it. They bought the house,
they rebuilt it. The wall that separates us. They have
built it up to about seven and a half feet high,
and I'm wondering if there's a height.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Limit on the six feet Yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Well what they six feet is the height.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I think so, I think so. I don't think you
can go above six feet.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Okay, Well that's one question. The other one is when
they did the wall, the concrete, it is all gushing
out on my side, when on their side it's all smooth.
Now I've asked them if they can please, I'm sorry,
let me go back one minute. I was renting it.
While I was renting it, they built this wall now
that I'm now that I'm back at the house, the
concrete is gushing out on my side, but on their
(28:15):
side obviously it's just all smoothed out. So I'm wondering
if there's.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Okay, you know, if it's on their side or not.
If the wall is on their side, the whole wall,
while the.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Wall separates our property, I understand, you.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Know, if the wall is on their side of the
property line that.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I don't know, okay, because that that changes things a bit.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
But you can call building in.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Safety and and I think now that's assuming that the
six feet is the limit.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I think it is by the way I grew up
in North Hollywood. Uh So just that's just a quick aside,
And yeah, I want to call it, actually want to
call a building in sometime.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You want to call building a safety anyway, and ask
that question, what is the height limitation of a wall?
And if it is six feet, which I think it is, uh,
then you call him out and you go, hey, this
guy built an eight foot wall, and they're going to
come out and say bring it down to six.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
Feet wonderful, Okay, And then you can do.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Whatever you want on your side of the wall, assuming
that it's on your property line. If it's on your
property line, any part of it, he just that he's
got to agree with you and you he's not allowed
to make your side of it look horrible. As a
matter of fact, he's not allowed to put his wall
(29:32):
on your side of the wall. If it's over the
property line, you can tell him take down your wall,
mister Gorbachev.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Okay, okay, Well there this wall, this wall was separating
our property.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
No, I understand, I get it.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I under you know you don't have to go through
that again. I understand wall separate properties.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I get it. It's a it's eight feet tall. I
get it. And I asked you which side of the
property line? You don't know?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
The rules are a different from which side of the
property line.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
And I understand that. But whether the wall is on
my side or either side of the property, can can
they believe it if it's on their side with the
concrete gush out on the mind side, not.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
If it's on your side of the property. But then
you say you're on my side of the property. You're
not going to do that, And you say, either you
take care of it or I take care of it,
And I'm going to sue you.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's why I asked, right, okay, all right, there you go.
We almost got that.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's close, close, but no cigar. All right, Zelman's minty
mouth mins. What are Zelman's minty mouth mins. Well, it's
a matter of fact. I'm involved in the company in
a couple of ways. One, I actually use Zelman's minty
Mouth mints. There's my pack right there. A matter of fact,
there's my second pack.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Oh, there's my third pack. You don't know that it's
the same pack.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It's radio And this is about keeping your breath fresh
and just feeling great walking around all day.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I don't care if I have bad breath and I'm
breathing on you, but I do like feeling fresh and clean.
I'm talking about from the waist up. And it really
makes sense for me. It's gonna make sense for you
if you care about your breath, are just feeling good.
Zelman's minty mouthmats. It works a couple of different ways.
First of all, it's a minty mouthmant. Little capsules that
you swallow or you bite into, and there's mint on
(31:24):
the outside that you basically suck until it's gone, and
then you swallow the capsule and it starts to work
in your gut. It's parsley seed oil and this is
where bad breath usually starts, with the foods you eat,
and this just takes care of it for hours and hours.
Free shipping if you order multiple packs, money back guarantee,

Now there are cities and probably the ones you live in,
which buses are a big thing. You use buses. In
La nobody uses buses. We are a car town, always
have been and for the most part, always will be.
And so buses in La or like Vermin, you know,
(00:20):
I mean, yeah, you sort of have to put up
with them. And I just they get in the way
unless you're on a bus. And I actually don't know
anybody who uses the bus. I don't I've been here
for a very long time. All right, So what happens.
You have these bus lanes and since people don't pay
attention to buses and no care people parking bus lanes,
and so you have the meter maids come around and
(00:42):
they ticket people and it's a big problem. So here's
what Metro did La Metro is they have created a
new automated ticketing system to enforce parking violations in the
bus lanes.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And it bus stops.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It's a camera based technology and it's at the front
of the bus. And there someone's blocking the bus lane
as the bus comes in. Well, guess what, the license
plate is snapped and now they have someone who's violating
the law. Now, of course you can argue I was
(01:17):
just there for a second.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I was in part.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So what it does is it then has to be
confirmed by some human person, and then one SAT's confirmed,
then the ticket is issued. So they monitor and now
we get to deal with the technology.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's not really high end technology.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I mean they use technology when they do automatic license
plate readers for example when you toll roads, so human
to verify the violation, then the ticket goes through the mail. Now,
let me tell you something about southern California, which is
great fun if you ever get a ticket down here.
In this case, the fines go from two hundred and
ninety three for the first defense four hundred and six
(02:03):
dollars for second timer. For second timers. Now, one of
the things about southern California, La County particularly is when
you see no parking here, and here's the fine, for example,
car pool lane violations, four hundred and sixty one dollars fine.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I mean it's no small deal. You can triple that.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Because they are allowed to and they do quote give
you enhancement fees.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So it's a big, big hit.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So that's going to happen. La Metro expects to issue
one hundred thousand tickets a year pilot program already in place.
A lot of this stuff is revenue calls.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Really.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I mean, you get, for example, a speeding ticket, all right,
so the fine is pretty hefty, six to eight hundred dollars.
But guess what you're gonna end up paying a couple
of thousand in fines for that, not counting this DMV
issues and the insurance issues, just the finds. Because it's
all a revenue call. The more the merrier, all right,
let's go ahead and take some phone calls here.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
All right, Doug, you're right, Hello, Doug, welcome to handle
on the law.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Hi, Bill Hay. That Baby Shark song inspired me to
give you a call.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Now, no kidding, that's the whole point, Doug Worth.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Okay, my ninety year old mother has a condo worth
about seven hundred thousand, and years ago she needed money,
so I bought it from her in twenty and sixteen,
making monthly payments to her as if she's the bank.
And that's up till about twenty twenty seven, and I
have did it with legal documents and everything. I paid
the property tax the condos in my name and the
(03:47):
current balance of the remaining payment of principles about sixty thousand. Okay,
but she owes, she owes in excess of sixty thousand
in credit card debt, and she's in poor health and
might die before all of them to her are made,
and she has no other assets. So my question is,
can the credit card company say, hey, the condo or
(04:08):
the balance of payments by you, you know, on the
condo are owed to us by you?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No? No, because you only owe your mom the sixty thousand.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Her credit card debt is her credit card debt. That's it,
and it's one of those things where the condo goes.
I'm assuming the credit card debt is not secured by
the condo.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's just an unsecured loan.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So there, now they could sue her and go after assets.
But she doesn't have any assets. The condo's in your name, Doug.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
She's just owed some money.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And so just because she's owed with money, they could say, well,
you owe it to us.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay, you're dead.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now what you want to collect from someone who's dead?
And if you still owe her sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Would you be the only.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Would you be the only beneficiary of that if it
were to if you were to inherit it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, it's not believe inherance anymore, because I understand, but.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm just curious because if you owe her and she
dies and you're the only person out there, you'd be
owing yourself. Now, the point is you don't have to
worry about any of it. You're fine. And so when
they go out, here's what's gonna happen. They're gonna go
after her on the credit card dead and they're going
to send it to you and say, Doug's mom, you
(05:29):
are late in payment. And then you are going to
right back on behalf of Doug's mom saying she is
dead and cannot pay the bill. Then they're going to
send you another bill this is what happens to typically
for the same amount and saying you are now two
months late or three months late.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And then you write back saying she is completely dead. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Then they're gonna do it again, and on the third
time around, then you write back saying, clearly you don't
understand the content except dead, let's look it up together.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And so you're going.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
To be You're going to be just flying, Doug. You
if she's dead, you don't order the money anymore. You
wer a state the money. But you know, is the
estate going to sue you? That's why I asked if
E would be state what?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, there's no estate, she has no asset.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
All right? Are you the only one out there?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So the bottom line is you owe yourself sixty thousand
dollars and I wouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You're in good shape.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Coo.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
All right, and obviously that your mother in fact is
going to be completely dead. How close to completely dead
is she?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's hard to estimate. I hate the thing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh, I hung I'm sorry, I hung up on him.
I was going to go through that. I don't know why.
I just click that button by mistake. So Doug, that's
on me. Hello, Pat, you've been there for a bit. Welcome.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Learning?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I have a questions.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I have an Equinox car that has been in the
shop now for the fourth time. It's in there now.
I dialed this town two fifty lemon law lawyer, and
I signed a contract with them, sent all of the
paperwork to them. I have email, called them, text them,
(07:23):
and I've had no contact with them.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, how long is that? Okay, from the time that
you first emailed them, or let me put it this way,
from the last from the first time you emailed them
and they didn't respond, How long has that been and
how many attempts at contacting them has there been up
to right now?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I believe the first time that I contacted them was
in June, and just as recent as yesterday I called.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
How many times do you try to contact them? Pat?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Probably about six seven times?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, Well, i'd send them an email saying clearly you
don't want to do this, uh, and just find yourself
another Lemon law lawyer, Pat, there's not much.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Now you can't okay? Can I do that even though
I signed the contract?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah you can.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You always, always, always can fire a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Don't worry about that.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
People misunderstand or they misconstrue that once they sign a
contract with.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
The lawyer, they are now married to the lawyer. Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You always can toss a lawyer. So it's just time
to find another lawyer.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
If you're not happy with if you're unhappy with your lawyer,
you go someplace else like a doctor.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And hello, Anne, welcome.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Hi. I was on a celebrity cruise recently in Norway,
and then one of the points, I fell on a bus,
you know, on land. So I went to the ship's
medical and they dressed my wounds and everything, and they
took a blood test, which turned out to be wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Wait wait, they took a blood test.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Why if you wanted you fell down, why would they
take a blood test? You don't know, all right, So
what happened the result of them taking What happened is
the result of them taking your blood test.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
She said, my red red blood count was dangerously low,
five point two.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And she was the doctor. Yes, yes, okay, the doctor
board the ship.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
All right, she insisted I get taken an ambulance. They
sent me to the local hospital. She said I could die,
and I said, I told her I've been under care
and it wasn't that low. But anyway, in the meantime,
the ship is going to sail, so they pack up
(09:51):
my son and my all my belongings, pack them up,
dumblus on the on the doc.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Interesting, and you're there, you were there on the dock
in Norway, right, I'm assuming that your Norwegian is not.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (10:09):
All right, then go to the hospital. They take my blood.
It's fine, it's well, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So, Anne, you're a pretty good shape doctor misdiagnosed here
you're on a small town on the peride Norway.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Yeah, my leg was, you know, a beatty bruise. I
had cut on my arm.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Never mind, but they still should have Yeah, but they
still should have kept you aboard the ship. I mean
that's not a problem. Yeh yeah, all right, So what's
your question?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Anne?
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Okay, so we we spent uh that whole night and
we luckily found a cab caught up with a ship
at the next port.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Would they let you back where? They let you back
on the port.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
But they said I had to get a letter of
approval from that doctor letter shape to travel.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Kind of from which doctor doctor on the ship or
the doctor that you Okay, did you get the letter
from the doctor in Norway?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Okay, So and you got the letter and you.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Were back on the cruise correct, Yes, all right, so
you were out one night.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yeah, but there was a great imagine taking a cab.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
No I understand, no, no, no, don't know. I'm not gonna
I'm not going to minimize this.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
And by the.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Way, yeah you sounded.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And I mean I'm not I want to minimize this. Okay,
So what's your question?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
What should I do?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You call them up and go what should you do?
What would you like to do?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
This is you talking to the cruise company and say,
this is what you cost me. You cost me a night,
you cost me a cab trip, you cost me a
night not on the cruise ship, and you put me
on a pier in Norway. And I don't speak a
whole lot of Norwegian, especially in a small town. What
(11:59):
town are we talking about?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
I think it's called all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, No, I've been to Norway. I don't remember that town.
I really don't.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Yeah, it's a small time. Luckily it wasn't the last
town there.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, all right, So anyway, that's what you do. That's
what you do. You call them up there.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I don't know what the lawsuit would be, but I
think if I mean, it's a big it's a big
time cruise company.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So I think the phone call.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I think if you just explain it, yeah, someone should
reach out. And if not, man, I don't know, then
you got a company that is Unfortunately, it's just not
worth going through the trouble of any legality.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That's the hassle. Bob Hello, Bob.
Speaker 8 (12:40):

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay? Is it a have you been sued? Is it

But so you just say no, and well the thing
is like they did not give us two weeks by the.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh, they have to give you a lot more than
two weeks.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But oh no, no, no, they have to give you six days, George,
and there's relocation money that has to be paid. Oh no, no, no,
you don't just walk out the door because a lawyer
says you've got to leave, not in La County.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
No, no, no, excuse me, because the eviction they give us,
the city give us an extension from last August to
this August because we're a senior of me and my wife.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Okay, so all right, so they gave you a year,
so there's plenty of notice. There's plenty of notice. The
only way to get you out is so the notice
was given. The only way to get you out is
to if you don't want to go, they have to
evict you. They have to file a court case and
evict you.
Speaker 9 (14:57):
Well, the lawyer said this an eviction, but they didn't
give us a real it's not an eviction.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
It's not an eviction.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
It is a notice to vacate, and it has no
Once they gave you the lotus, he can say this
is the date.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
But if you say no, he's got to go to.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Court George's got to go to court just because a
lawyer says, though, and you are entitled to relocation money
thousands of dollars.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Yeah, they you know, the series says we have to
get like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well I don't know about twenty five No, I don't
know about twenty five grand. But talk to a landlord,
tenant attorney, talk to a landlord t There are organizations
out there that help tenants all the time. Just start
putting in you go to Google, put in tenants Rights,
LA County Evictions. You got all of that, and you'll
get Yeah, you know, you'll do okay because a lawyer
says you gotta leave.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1 (15:46):

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Welcome to you handle on the law.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Yes, I've got a question.
Speaker 10 (17:05):
My wife passed about a year ago and she held
the registration on a trailer for a her son's father.
He has to get it reregistered and be able to
use it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hang on, she's holding the registration, does does it belong
to UH? I guess it's her ex who she had
this kid with. Uh, it was it his?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Not legally legally it's hers. Uh but uh, do you
want it to go to this guy or do you
want it? Or where are you?
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I wanted to go to the I wanted to go
to this guy.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
What since she's been deceased for a year, how do
I get that him become his? And I don't need
to probate because I didn't get the admistray and for
me to actually go pay the whatever costs have become probated.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, and there is what And at this point, there's
no will, there's no probate, there's nothing open right right, Okay, this.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
One is you.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You would have access to it because this is your wife,
and even if it was her name, it would go
to you. However, you wanted to go to her son's father.
And this is one. I mean, I at this point,
I wouldn't know because I've never seen this, but I
think if you go to the DMV, even with him
(18:29):
and a certificate showing that your ex or showing that
your wife has died, it's an athlete.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's what it is, just a death certificate, that's easy.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And then if then the DMB will tell you what
to do because it may have to be transferred to
you because you're a spouse, and then you can transfer
it back to him. So that's a DMV question, but
they're pretty good about telling you this.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Another thing you do. Are you remember the Auto Club?
Speaker 8 (18:54):
I am not.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh, I would join the Auto Club because they're really
good at this stuff. When it comes to car registration,
they're terrific and you go in and just go on line,
make an appointment and do you just it's great and
it's not very expensive. You should be a member of
the Auto Club anyway, only because I love you know.
I'm not pitching the Auto Club and I'm not doing
commercials or anything for them. But I've always been a
fan of the Auto Club because when it comes to
(19:17):
registration and that sort of thing, they are it's far
easier just to walk.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
In the door than going into.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
A d m V.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So give that a shot. Sharon, Hi, Sharon, welcome, good morning.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Though, yes, ma'am okay, I have I have a sister
that had She has really bad mobility issues, so I'm
thinking about getting her one of those right on you know,
things can scoot around, yeah with.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The fat people's the fat people's scooters.
Speaker 12 (19:46):
Well she's skinny, but she's I know, but yeah, they're but.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It's it's we all know.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You go to Costco and it's basically for fat people exactly.
They don't have to watch all right, So you're thinking
of getting her one of those scooters. Okay, fair and
nice of you, by the way.
Speaker 12 (20:02):
Yeah, well you know, she I feel like she feels
like she's homebound and if she had a way to
get out.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, they're great, No, no, there was no question having
those changes everything for people, you know, as much as
I'm I make fun of people's handicaps. By the way,
what kind of handicap does she have that I can.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Make fun of.
Speaker 12 (20:22):
She had a mild stroke about five years ago, so
she's week on one side, but then she broke her hip.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh so she's like a little.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Weevil, you know, wobbles.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And it's oh yeah, yeah, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
So anyway, I think, you know, she can even drive
it over to my house, my house, book places and stuff,
and I know that every corner has a ramp on it,
you know for wheelchairs, except for a major intersection in
my home and on that corner. The kicker is there's
(20:57):
an over fifty five and over old folks building there.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh man, that's okay. Now let me ask you what
city are you in. I'm in Fullerton, Okay, Fullerton, Orange County.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, that is really interesting. And they don't have one
on that corner and it's a major and it's a
major intersection, and it's near an assistant living facility or ah.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It's sixty five and older.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well that's still yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I just you know, any of us over fifty five,
you know we're old as crap.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You know that exact Yeah, okay, and you want to
know what to do? Yeah, okay, that gets easy. You call.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
First of all, you call the city quickly, and I
mean right now. You call your council person who represents
you to the city right now.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Fullerton is I believe in Orange County.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
If I'm not mistaken, you call your county supervisor right now.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Uh, and you tell them that because this is no
small thing.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Now, the legal advice that I would give, have her
take that little scooter and go over the curb and
take a flyer and literally start rolling down the pavement.
And that'll get people's attention. Probably a pretty good lawsuit took.
Speaker 12 (22:18):
All right, all right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, that's that's a big one.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I mean, there's a reason that those corner well, I
mean she gave the reason why the corner ramps are there,
so people who have limited mobility, are in wheelchairs, are
in those little scooters, can get around and to have
one not at a major intersection today, Yeah, something's definitely wrong.
Something not kosher in Denmark. And I have no idea
(22:43):
who keeps kosher in Denmark anyway? Oh, okay, you know
we go, Oh all right, Mike, Oh Mike, what can
I do for you?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah? Going back in twenty yeah, twenty twenty three. In October,
received a DMB registration bill for one of my vehicles.
I went to my bank and went to my bank
bill pay and sent them the two hundred and fifty
six dollars. In twenty twenty five, I received a letter
(23:15):
from the DMB where they reissued the registration with a
huge fine send They never received the money. So I
went back to the bank and said what happened? They said,
I don't know. We sent it where we were supposed
to send it. I went to DM b DMD said
we don't care. We didn't get They don't.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Care, that's all.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, it doesn't. They just get the money, Mike. All
I care about is getting the money. They don't care
where it comes from, and so they have nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
To do with it.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
So I ended up paying well over three hundred dollars
out of the fine.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
All right, and so and your bank said we and
the bank just says we don't know, right.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
No, the bank says, we sent it where we were
supposed to see.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Okay, Mike, you can track that down, and that's what.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You have to do.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You can't bill.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Why not the bank.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Won't help you track down a payment that was made?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, well, let me tell you. I've been to the
bank five times, two different banks, talked to many different people.
They say it was done with a electric transfer, and
they have an electric transfer number, and they have what
they call proof of payment. So they say, we don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
The money was paid, okay, And they gave you the
proof of payment show wait to say, did they show
you the transfer document?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Did they show you.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
This was where it went to this account and this
was the date. Do you have that in writing?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yes? I have?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
What they call electric.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay, so you got the proof. All right, So Mike,
you have the proof. Now you go back to DMV
and say, is this the account?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I did that? Bill?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I went back and they said.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
It wasn't the account. They said it it was not
their account. Correct.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
No, No, they didn't say that. Two different DMVs use
the same exact line. We don't care. We didn't get
the money.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But you can prove they got the money.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, then you go up the Then.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You go up the food chain, Mike, you go up
the food chain, you talk to the supervisor, and then
you you know, the DMV is a governmental department, is
the state of California. And then you go and start
making uh, you start making claims against the DMV. I mean,
you got to pay everything while you're doing that, but
you're making claims against you.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, that's what you have to doing. That's what you do.
You may claim, You make a claim and go up
the food chain. That's all you can do. Yeah, that's it,
all right, nothing more, nothing less. Okay, Uh, here we
go a couple of good ones here.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, Mark, not so good, actually pretty boring, but
I'll still answer it.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Mark, What can I do?
Speaker 13 (25:57):
I Greek kind of boring. Listen, I am had a
real estate attorney right up a revocable license agreement, just
kind of a property line situation about two years ago,
and we're finally getting to the point where we're going
to sign it. And the question I have is when
he originally wrote up the or the agreement. It was
(26:19):
back in twenty twenty two, So it's written on the contract.
Can I cross that out my hand?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And then I ask you have you you said have
you signed it yet or not?
Speaker 13 (26:29):
No, it's not been signed.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Then why don't you just reprint it with the dates?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Well?
Speaker 13 (26:34):
I was thinking about that, but I don't have the technology,
and then I have to contact the attorney and have
him redo the content.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Now, if you have the document, you scan the damn
thing and you just sign it.
Speaker 13 (26:43):
Yeah, I guess we could do that.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I know you don't have the technology, So now I'm
going to ask you a real high tech question. Do
you have access to a copier? Do you know what
a copier is?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (26:57):
I do. Okay, I was thinking about doing a little
cut and paste.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You can do that. You can do that, You can
do whatever you want. Print it out and just take
the new dates in there, and you're fine.
Speaker 13 (27:06):
Yeah, it is gonna be a notarized it's gonna be
Oh yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, you're fine. Just put the new dates in. Uh
That's what I would do. Uh yeah, and then you're fine.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Just put the new dates in. That was easy, all right. Jimmy, Hi, Jimmy, welcome.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Hello Bill. Yes, thank you Christians for you. I owed
the house in North Hollwood, California, and the neighbor next
door to me they bought it. They bought the house,
they rebuilt it. The wall that separates us. They have
built it up to about seven and a half feet high,
and I'm wondering if there's a height.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Limit on the six feet Yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Well what they six feet is the height.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I think so, I think so. I don't think you
can go above six feet.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Okay, Well that's one question. The other one is when
they did the wall, the concrete, it is all gushing
out on my side, when on their side it's all smooth.
Now I've asked them if they can please, I'm sorry,
let me go back one minute. I was renting it.
While I was renting it, they built this wall now
that I'm now that I'm back at the house, the
concrete is gushing out on my side, but on their
(28:15):
side obviously it's just all smoothed out. So I'm wondering
if there's.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Okay, you know, if it's on their side or not.
If the wall is on their side, the whole wall,
while the.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Wall separates our property, I understand, you.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Know, if the wall is on their side of the
property line that.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I don't know, okay, because that that changes things a bit.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
But you can call building in.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Safety and and I think now that's assuming that the
six feet is the limit.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I think it is by the way I grew up
in North Hollywood. Uh So just that's just a quick aside,
And yeah, I want to call it, actually want to
call a building in sometime.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You want to call building a safety anyway, and ask
that question, what is the height limitation of a wall?
And if it is six feet, which I think it is, uh,
then you call him out and you go, hey, this
guy built an eight foot wall, and they're going to
come out and say bring it down to six.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
Feet wonderful, Okay, And then you can do.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Whatever you want on your side of the wall, assuming
that it's on your property line. If it's on your
property line, any part of it, he just that he's
got to agree with you and you he's not allowed
to make your side of it look horrible. As a
matter of fact, he's not allowed to put his wall
(29:32):
on your side of the wall. If it's over the
property line, you can tell him take down your wall,
mister Gorbachev.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Okay, okay, Well there this wall, this wall was separating
our property.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
No, I understand, I get it.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I under you know you don't have to go through
that again. I understand wall separate properties.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I get it. It's a it's eight feet tall. I
get it. And I asked you which side of the
property line? You don't know?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
The rules are a different from which side of the
property line.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
And I understand that. But whether the wall is on
my side or either side of the property, can can
they believe it if it's on their side with the
concrete gush out on the mind side, not.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
If it's on your side of the property. But then
you say you're on my side of the property. You're
not going to do that, And you say, either you
take care of it or I take care of it,
And I'm going to sue you.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's why I asked, right, okay, all right, there you go.
We almost got that.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's close, close, but no cigar. All right, Zelman's minty
mouth mins. What are Zelman's minty mouth mins. Well, it's
a matter of fact. I'm involved in the company in
a couple of ways. One, I actually use Zelman's minty
Mouth mints. There's my pack right there. A matter of fact,
there's my second pack.
Speaker 2 (30:54):

the same pack.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It's radio And this is about keeping your breath fresh
and just feeling great walking around all day.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I don't care if I have bad breath and I'm
breathing on you, but I do like feeling fresh and clean.
I'm talking about from the waist up. And it really
makes sense for me. It's gonna make sense for you
if you care about your breath, are just feeling good.
Zelman's minty mouthmats. It works a couple of different ways.
First of all, it's a minty mouthmant. Little capsules that
you swallow or you bite into, and there's mint on
(31:24):
the outside that you basically suck until it's gone, and
then you swallow the capsule and it starts to work
in your gut. It's parsley seed oil and this is
where bad breath usually starts, with the foods you eat,
and this just takes care of it for hours and hours.
