Hi Sean! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I have a question about a third party company name us property LLC, they're helping me sell my home.
Hi Sean! Could you please provide more details about your question or concern regarding US Property LLC helping you sell your home?
It's a third party company they're helping me sell my home I filled out a sales agreement with them two months ago that they would help me sell my home and give me $*. But before I sign this contract I was on the phone with them and I haven't text message proof that they said to me that they would pay all my bills they were trying to sell my home until my home was sold they would pay all my bills. Then I said okay since they'll pay my bills I'll go ahead and use these people so they brought up a sales agreement that said that was sell my home for $*,* but that's the contract paper didn't say nothing about them paying my bills I should have mentioned it then but I didn't. First month rolls around they paid some of my bills but they didn't pay my mortgage. When I asked you to pay my mortgage she said oh well we're fixing to sell the house anyway so you don't have to pay it so I said okay whatever I believe they knew they were talking about so second one falls around well the second month rolls around they had an extension to the contract I guess it's called an Amendum or something like that anyway it was another contract and it said the first line of it said that I will drop my price to $*,* and that's from the $*,* they promise me. Then on the second line it said they would give me $*,* to pay my bills. Well if I didn't sign this thing they weren't going to give me the $*,* so I knew I had to pay my truck payment no I had to keep my utilities going and make my truck payment so feeling pressured I signed it. Now my house is being sold and I'm only getting $*,* and it sucks because they knew I had to pay my bills and I felt they coerce me into signing it it was it legal for them to do that although in a text message they told me they would pay all my bills until my house sold? And by the way this is in Oklahoma.
Sean, you might have grounds for a legal claim based on misrepresentation or coercion. Here's what you should consider:
- Misrepresentation: You have text message proof that they promised to pay your bills, which wasn't honored.
- Coercion: You felt pressured to sign the amended contract.
Consider consulting with a local attorney to review your contracts and texts.
