I have a question about contracts? PLEASE HELP ME!!? -

I m getting married in 2 days!! (NOVEMBER 7th). I had paid to have my reception at a ballroom in a hotel and I signed a contract about 2months ago that CLEARLY stated that the final price would be around $5,000 with a deposit of $1,000. Well today I went in to make sure everything was ok and TODAY they handed me a new contract that said there was an addition of over $6,000 which would bring the total to around $12,000. IS THIS POSSIBLE!! Can they just change the contract on me 2 days before my wedding??I m really stressing because that s too much money added for just one night. I don t understand how they could do that to me when I still have the original copy which mentions nothing about this addition. They said it s for security guards and other stuff. Is there a law where they can just change a contract like that? I really don t know what to do? Should I go ahead and pay or is it worth fighting for. They told me I have until tomorrow by 3:00 pm. I can t cancel my wedding because I invited over 800 people and all my invitations are out already!! WHAT DO I DO? Shouldn t they have called me 2 months ago when I signed the contract? THIS is just SOOO ridiculous. Pleaaase tell me if this is possible I need some quick answers!!

There s no telling. People sneak all kinds of tricky stuff in on contracts and some just break them knowing there isn t much you can do about it. They know it s too late to cancel and move the wedding so I expect this is just a way to extort some more money out of you at the last minute. You should always have your contracts reviewed by an attorney before signing. You may want to consider taking your contract to an attorney to review and have him/her write them a letter or make a phone call for you if the hotel is wrong. I doubt you ll be able to get in with this short of a notice though. At this point what I d do is find out any hotel or hospitality organizations that they belong to and their contact info, also get contact info for you local BBB, state attorney general or consumer protection agency, if they are subject to federal regulation the FTC and any other agency with regulatory authority over them, and the home office if they are a chain. I d go in and tell the manager that if they don t honor the contract I will call and file a complaint with everyone on the list and will go on every hotel rating or review website I can find and also contact the local newspaper and tv stations. If he still doesn t honor the contract start making those calls right there in front of him and start with the media.Due to the timing it won t be much help in this situation, but you might want to consider a Pre-Paid Legal plan so you can have access to an attorney for advice, contract review, letter writing, and other services to deal with issues that will come up in the future without having to pay that big attorney bill. You can email me at jdevlin@practiceservices.biz if that s something you want to look into.

reread ur old contract REALLY good. I really don t think they can add to it, unless u added something else for your wedding and it would say on old contract that if u add something after signed, then its voided . I d fight it though, that s A LOT of money to waste, and really it would be a waste if you do spend that.A wedding doesn t need to cost much, my parents got eloped,with 2 random people as witnesses, and they ve been married 21 years! Some people will spend thousands and thousands, and won t make it through the year...And don t take it to offense.......But don t spend that much, they can t switch it like that!

Can i get DJ liability insurance for a single party? -

I m djing independently but only really do house partys and things. I ve been asked to dj a reunion and need to get insurance just for this party. can i get insurance just for the party? or do i have to buy it for the year? thanks in advance

What do you need insurance for? You re a performer they ve hired; if anything, their insurance should cover any injury YOU sustain in the course of the evening, unless for some reason they expect you re going to harm a guest, but again that guest s harm is covered by their policy because they re the ones who brought you in. It sounds to me like the organizers are pretty new at this. To answer the question, yes you can buy short-term insurance, and it isn t very expensive. I paid about $30 for a $1-million policy when I rented a charity booth at a shopping centre for a weekend. Contact any local insurance broker to make arrangements, but again, you buying one is totally unnecessary.

You can get insurance for a single event. However, my suggestion is that you just get an annual policy. It shouldn t cost more than $300.

What type of attorney do I need? -

I will be starting an LLC with 3 other individuals. LLC documents and a subscription agreement have been drafted up for my signature. The attorney that did this represents one member (and will also represent the LLC) and this attorney practices real estate law which is the business that member is involved in. What type of attorney do I take this to so that they can interpret the material for me and so that I can protect my interests?

It is a conflict of interest for the attorney who represents one of the LLC members to also represent the LLCLet him chose one or the other, but not bothThe LLC needs an attorney who works on business formationsEach member may want to get representation for their own interests

Client got away without paying us. It cheeses me off.? -

My husband did a $2500 job for a client who them went under. The thing is the parent company is still going strong and has a flashy website etc. It really upsets me. It is all with the company receivers now etc, but the chance of us getting anything is zero. Some other poor sole lost $20,000. What would you do apart from warn others about them? They are in another state.

Don t feel bad this world feels like everybody is out for their own. I had a company I put 2.6 years into building they owed me 8k likely 30k to date. We just move on we live and learn.

If you let it cheese you off too much, you re in the wrong line of work.I have a $6,500 debt to me that is more than 450 days old.I have an $8,000 debt to me that is 375 days old.

You could always try and submit your invoice to the parent company or one of it s subsidiaries Depending on how big they are they, they may have poor controls around approving invoices.

You could always sue them, but it s business, sometimes it happens.
