Defending Against A Breach Of Contract Claim

Breach of Contract

Breach of contract. Those words conjure up images of corporate deals, smart lawyers, and lots of money. Yet, most contract cases are not complicated; they’re quite simple. The average adult has multiple contracts.

Contracts are agreements between two or more parties to abide by written or stated terms. When you sign for a credit card, that’s a contract between you and the credit card company. When you buy a car, house, or boat, you enter into a contract with the seller, mortgage company, or lender. When a mortgage company files for foreclosure, it’s really a breach of contract suit. How do you defend yourself when you break a contract?

And if you need help representing yourself in civil court, it’s time to join Courtroom5.
