Here
are some Frequently Asked Questions that people call
about.
Question:
I bought a car from a dealer and the car just doesn't work.
Can I return the car under the Lemon law?
Answer:
Nebraska's Lemon law provides an arbitrated grievance
procedure if a new car was sold under a warranty. The
Uniform Commercial Code provides that an article may be
returned under certain circumstances. But you must also file
suit. It is important to have a warranty when you buy a
vehicle.
The
Lemon Law is available when a motor vehicle does not conform
to the express warranty, and the manufacturer's agents or
authorized dealer are unable to fix the motor vehicle after
reasonable attempts at repair. Reasonable repair attempts
are: (1) The consumer must have taken the vehicle to the
dealer four or more times for repair of the same problem or
(2) The consumer must have been without the use of the
vehicle for 40 or more days total. In addition, the consumer
must give the manufacturer written direct notification by
certified mail and an opportunity to cure the alleged
defect. Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 60-2703.
For
a used car,
Question:
I need to enroll a child in school, but I am not the child's
parent. What can I do?
Answer:
You can set up a temporary guardianship (up to six months)
by using a power of attorney. The child's parent can give
such a power of attorney to enroll the child in school, for
medical treatment, etc. If the child will be with you more
than six months, perhaps you should set up a permanent
guadianship.
