Legal Question in Consumer Law in North Carolina
Ownership
I ordered a carport form a Company last May 2005 we never signed a contract or discussed how we would pay for the carport. We had many problems with the install and aftermath. They never came back to fix the problems, so we will not pay for the carport. Does the company have a legal right to come a take the carport away claiming we did not pay for it when we did not have a singed contract saying we received the carport or how we would pay for the carport. This company has a very bad better business report and I wish I had read it before I ordered the carport from them. The question is, will I loose the carport if I do not pay or do I have legal ownership of the carport because they do not have and proof that the even delivered the carport to me.

Re: Ownership
If they installed the carport they have performed and they can prove that because you have the carport. They are entitled to be paid. With that being said, you are entitled (after you pay for it), to file a complaint with the attorney general or send them a demand letter according to Massachusetts General Laws chapter 93A for unfair and deceptive practices because you did not receive what was promised.
However, you still have to pay and then take action. Hope this is a helpful start. Feel free to email me if you have further questions.

Re: Ownership
If this matter is not located in Massachusetts, you would need to file your complaint with the attorney general in the proper state and/or if that state has a similar relief statute as Massachusetts 93A. I am unsure where you action took place because you list three states.
