Legal Question in Business Law in California

Ii sold some of my annuity to a company in Florida for 200'000 and was suppose to get 176.000 but only received 89.500 said because I had tax leans they couldn't give me the rest of it so I called them in Nov to tell them to pay the tax leins that were still owing with the money of mine they still have and they told me to never call them again. So what do I do. I sent them two certified letters to close out my account and send me a check for the rest of my money and I haven't heard a word nor received the rest of my money. So what can be done to get my money.

Your question is a bit vague about what happened, so I don't want to jump to any conclusions. There are several possible explanations of what happened. But one of those explanations is that you've been conned. Even if you aren't the victim of a crime, you ma need to take action to protect your legal rights.

You should discuss the facts in detail with an attorney. You may also want to make a report to law enforcement, but before you do that you should get some legal guidance. That's especially true if you did this in order to hide assets, since going to the authorities could jeopardize your own interests. That wouldn't mean you should keep your mouth shut, but it would mean you should be careful about what you say.

Hiring a lawyer to advise you, and even to represent you, could get you better results now and/or spare you a lot of trouble later. That's true even if nothing sinister is going on either at your end or the company's.

Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like to discuss your situation in more detail.

Good luck.
