Florida Fraud Law Defined
Fraud involves claims of dishonesty or deceit. Florida Civil theft
is when one party
intentionally deprives another party from the rightful use or possession of
property. In other words, the taking of another person’s property and refusing
to return that property upon
demand. With proper notice, you are entitled to treble damages for the value of the property if it is not timely returned.
Florida misrepresentation
is the making of a false
statement of fact with the intention to induce another party to
act. Claims for
misrepresentation normally occur during the negotiation phase for the
sale of
goods (autos, boats, real estate) or the provision for services
(brokers,
contractors, mechanics). The false statement of fact usually involves a
misstatement about the quality of the good (condition or specifications
for an
auto, boat, diamond, or real estate); title or ownership of the good
(not owned
by the seller of the good); the qualifications of the service provider
(licensed
or qualified to be a broker, contractor, or mechanic); or the necessity
for the
service to be rendered (the repairs are not needed).
Florida Fraudulent transfers
occur when a debtor transfers
assets or income to another party as a means to avoid paying creditors after a
judgment has been obtained against the debtor. Under Florida law, transfers
made during a certain time prior to the entry of a final judgment are presumed
to be fraudulent and if proven to be, can be set aside by the creditor.
Finally, with the advancement of digital
technology and online information, Florida identity theft
claims are now on the rise. By
means of securing otherwise private and confidential information from you,
identity thieves are able to obtain and open credit cards and loans in your
name. After the damage has been done, the creditors, stores, and merchants seek
to hold you responsible for the charges made by the identity thieves.
Relief for a fraud claim or identify theft will
normally require the services of a lawyer. Most persons engaging in fraudulent
schemes will not acknowledge their offense nor voluntarily cure the problem
without Court intervention. Certain notice requirements must be complied with
before you can assert a proper fraud or civil theft claim in Court. Failure to
comply with the notice requirements can doom your case before you
begin. Additionally, you should immediately begin an investigation into the
background and assets of the perpetrator of fraud to maximize your chances for
recovery.
