I know people hate this answer from attorneys, but it depends on the wording of the contract and the specific facts of the situation. Most contracts will have a clause governing assignment of the contract to a third party. That clause will determine if the terms of the original contract are assignable to the new company operating the venue. If the contract is not assignable, or if the original operator decided not to assign the contract to the new operator, then you will have a new agreement with the new operator. Most contracts will also have a clause governing how the terms of the contract can be changed. If you would like a review of your situation and your contract, you can request a proposal for a review session. I generally do those at a flat fee, based on the length of the contract. I'm sure other attorneys would offer similar rates.

The Company was required to seek your permission to continue with repairs that would go beyond any estimated rate given. This is the protocol filed by repairmen for automobiles and other appliance protocols. The repairman had a legal duty to report the estimated costs of repair after your diagnostic testing, and you are protected under federal and Wisconsin consumer protection laws

Dear Nezar, Most universities and technical colleges have a date by which you must drop a class without incurring the charges for the class--it's called a drop window. Usually that is a 2-4 week period. If you took classes and dropped them late in the semester, it was probably after the drop window for the school. I suggest reviewing the school's policy on dropping classes and trying to speak to someone in authority about negotiating a lower payment or explaining that you did not understand the drop window policy. If you need assistance in negotiating with the school, I am happy to write a letter or advocate on your behalf a settlement. Thanks, Attorney Sarah DeBruin, One Law Group SC, Green Bay, WI, sdebruin@onelawgroupsc.com and phone 920-330-9208.

It depends, would need to review the contract to better determine.

My advise is to continue to contact the bank and ask about the funds; try to speak with someone with authority like a manager or supervisor. From my personal dealings with PPP loans and the response time to get an answer, I understand there can be delays but this is a long time and they are listing the funds as disbursed so there is an issue somewhere. Also, get an email address where you can submit an inquiry regarding the funds. If you need additional help, you can reach out to me on the platform. All the best, Donya Gordon
