Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

A family member of mine owned a small truck leasing company and sent a truck from his fleet to a repair shop for repairs to be done including engine overhaul. The work was not completed correctly in a way that solved the problem(s) and he had to return multiple times for additional "repairs" that also did not solve the problem but incurred more charges nonetheless. Ultimately, the shop would not honor the warranty on the work they'd done and he had to take the truck elsewhere to have the engine completely rebuilt. Since the first shop never did the work correctly, he refused to pay. He has now received a letter from a law firm demanding payment for said services. He wants me to write a letter to the law firm explaining why he refuses to pay, but I am looking for advice on what his rights/obligations are first.

Unless you are admitted to practice law in Kansas, you need to get a power of Attorney appointment before contacting the law firm. Without reading the warranty agreement, it is impossible to estimate your family member"s liability position. Suggest that your family member hire an attorney to evaluate his position, if not represent them.

Good luck
