    UPDATE: Planet Fitness lied...

    Posted: 06 May 2020 08:27 AM PDT

    Just wanted to post an update for the fraud Planet Fitness committed, you can see the original post here

    So after I received that letter with the very old photo of me with the doctored date and time and the fake check in date and time of March 06, 2020 12:30pm, I called my bank like you all directed me to do. I did really want to contact Planet Fitness directly and tell them they committed fraud and my hair hasn't looked like that for at least a year AND I haven't even been in that state since November. I decided not to because I figured it might give them time to come up with an excuse/rebuttal.

    The dispute analyst at my bank initially told me I was out of luck because the dispute was put in as fraud initially, which was technically incorrect because I signed a contract with them and gave them my bank info. He didn't realize that the photos and check in times were fake and that they lied, so after I explained all of that with proof he said it was then a fraudulent case. Also since I made it very clear I wanted to cancel, that should've been enough to stop debiting my accounts moving forward.

    I sent over a letter from myself, a letter from my boyfriend who lives with me and can attest that I hadn't been to that state since November, a bank statement with charges in a different state that same day and a letter from my boss with clock in times showing I was at work that day and time.

    Needless to say they will not be returning the money to Planet Fitness and closed the case. The bank analyst told me that they can move forward with repercussions, since they are committing fraud against the bank technically, but I have already prepared a letter for the AG. Hopefully this post alone causes some people to be weary of the MANY fraudulent things this gym does. I have received so many messages and comments proving that this isn't an isolated event and pretty common amongst other shady things. Watch who you give your money to!

    Thanks again for the help

    Update to post about landlords locking me out for not following unreasonable rules

    Posted: 06 May 2020 08:44 AM PDT

    I called the police again, said again I was being illegally evicted and cited the law they were breaking, this time someone took me seriously. I had to wait a few hours but a policewoman finally showed up at my landlords house and made them give me the key to the new lock so I was able to spend the night in my room. They were angry and scared but there was nothing they could do. It's sad becase they're not bad people but fear will make some people go crazy I guess. I'm looking for a new place to stay hoping to find something quickly and that the current landlords make no drama with my security deposit and all. Thanks for your help

    Neighbor is holding parked cars for ransom

    Posted: 06 May 2020 06:53 AM PDT

    Someone on my block owns two really old pickup trucks, and he's been parking both of them within an inch or two of other parked cars on the street and leaving a note that says he'll move them for $200. This has happened to two of my neighbors I've talked to so far and they've said they just had to pay him so they could go to work. Is there anything we can do about this? Is this against the law? From reading online, cars have to be parked for 30 days to be abandoned in my area, so we can't call the cops until then.

    Location is US, New Jersey state.

    Study abroad cancelled and students are still expected to pay $5000

    Posted: 06 May 2020 03:02 PM PDT

    Hi, so I go to a southern state school and was supposed to study abroad this summer. For the first 6 weeks of the program we would travel around Europe and the second 7 weeks we would take classes at Mansfield College in England. Due to the circumstances, the school cancelled the trip. However, despite there being no mention of a financial responsibility if the school cancelled the trip in the contracts we signed, the school is still making us pay close to $5000 for a trip they cancelled. This is due to Mansfield College as well as vendors not giving refunds or full refunds for the cancelled trip. They told us in early March that if we expected a full refund, then we should get travelers insurance, but it was only one line in the middle of a very very long email. Is it legal for them to still charge us for this? I was only studying abroad to save money because I'm out of state and get in state rate when studying abroad, but now I'm out of cheaper classes and $5000 that I was planning to save to do this same program next summer.

    Edit: During the travel portion we took 6 credits worth of classes, so it wasn't just traveling for the first 6 weeks. And what we're not getting refunded mainly is the housing from the college in England, not the vendors from the travel portion

    CPS came into my house and the police are charging my father, now my parents are extremely upset and my mom says she will go back to her country and take me with her, what can I do?

    Posted: 06 May 2020 04:30 PM PDT

    I'm a 14 year old who lives in New York and recently had CPS come to our house. My father has anger issues, he would constantly hit/beat me, argue with me, punish me, and yell at me to the point I am depressed and have though tof suicide as young as 10.

    After CPS came to my house, me and my parents were taken to a police station to be interviewed, and I told them all the things my dad had done, one of these things was that he frequently groped me on my rear end. I told them I did not feel safe around him. After the interview, he was temporarily forced to move out and tomorrow they are going to decide what to do with him.

    Ever since this my mom had been extremely upset about this and told me if my father was arrested or even not allowed to see me, she would immediately go back to her country and take me with her, and if possible then go to my fathers country to continue our family there (my parents are both immigrants, I believe what my father did will get him deported). She also told me she "might become suicidal". I am terrified at the idea of this, as my mothers country, Uzbekistan, is much worse than here, and so is my fathers, Ecuador. Not to mention they want to ignore the fact my father, who abused me, isnt allowed to see me.

    I'm extremely frustrated about all of this and my dad is saying he has done nothing wrong for 20 years, and I suddenly ruined everything. I only wanted for my dad to be removed and to live with my mom, but she does not understand I do not feel safe at all around him (anger issues) and that I have asked many times (for years) for him to be more fair with me. She either wants us together as a family or for us to split apart and go to an entirely different country.

    TL;DR: My father can get deported for sexual abuse to me, we live in New York. My mom believes I should forgive my dad and that he is a good person, he just has mental issues (that he never sought help for despite being able to). My mom says she will go back to Uzbekistan and I am going with her. She says she might go to Ecuador (with me again) to be with my dad again.

    Im sorry this is extremely long and kind of a sob story more than an actual question. I just feel like I need to give as much context as possible, since this is something that will change my life and I need to make sure I am making the right descisions. I am also sorry this technically takes more than just one flair. If you can help me, I just have a few questions:

    1. Is there a chance my dad will not be arrested/deported? What about not being allowed to be near me?
    2. Are my parents even allowed to carry out this plan/Will they even be able to carry it out?
    3. If I tell CPS what my mom wants to do, will they do something about this? Will she be charged too?
    4. If I get removed from my parents custody, will I be able to ask if I can be placed in my boyfriends/one of my friends homes (whos parents are non abusive)? I have no relatives in the U.S. who are willing to take me in.

    I'm not expecting for all of these to be answered, in fact even if just one person gives me just a little bit advice on one of them I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you for reading this.

    Update: (MA) Wedding venue closed down permanently without notice and won't return deposit

    Posted: 06 May 2020 10:24 AM PDT

    Link to the original post. Some things have happened since I originally posted so I figured I would post an update.

    Shortly after posting I found a lawyer through the MA bar referral site who recommended we send them a demand letter. I agreed and paid him his fee. Hours later, (this is now four days after posting here and the letter hadn't been sent yet) I got a call from someone claiming to be with the venue who said they needed my address to mail me a check for the full refund of the $10,000 we were owed. Keep in mind this was the first and only contact we've received from the venue since this all started. I was skeptical at first, but provided my address and decided to wait. The woman on the phone also told me the venue would be reopening after the COVID situation calmed down. We waited about a month without receiving anything in the mail before I started trying to get in touch with her for an update. I called several days in a row and left 3-4 voicemails without receiving a call back. Turns out the venue filed chapter 11 bankruptcy 2 days ago according to my lawyer.

    Now I'm not sure if I was was lied to in some sort of stall tactic or if they were hoping to take advantage of the government assistance and that fell through or what. I'm more inclined to think this is just incompetence and poor management. It's a mess and we're pretty devastated, but are not surprised that this is the outcome. The lawyer I've been speaking with is looking into the details of it now and we'll probably file a claim as a creditor, but we are unlikely to receive any money at the end of this because their debts significantly outweigh their assets.

    It's not the happy update anyone was looking for, but I will update again if anything else happens or changes.

    Mom’s Boyfriend destroyed my personal laptop and put holes in my bedroom wall. Also threatened various forms of harm. (North Carolina)

    Posted: 06 May 2020 06:22 AM PDT

    I (17M) got into a disagreement with my mom's current boyfriend (40?M) around an hour ago.

    During the argument, Boyfriend came into my room and destroyed my personal laptop that I had recently bought (my own money) and smashed it to the ground multiple times, then stomped on it. It is very thoroughly destroyed.

    He also toppled over my desk, scattering everything I had on it and breaking multiple smaller things.

    While on his rampage, he grabbed my barbell from my weightlifting set and attempted to throw it, leaving a noticeable size hole in my bedroom wall.

    The whole time this is going on, he is yelling threats at me, « I'm going to snap your neck » or « I'm going to bust your nose/break your fingers. »

    My younger brother and sister both saw/ heard everything going on.

    What can I do? My laptop is essential to my schooling at the moment with the virus, and I don't have the money to afford another. This is also not the first time he has threatened me and it goes back quite a while. So, what can I do?? My siblings are scared of the police, and Boyfriend left the home immediately after everything above happened and most likely won't return until later in the day.

    Received a notice of Exclusion from previous daycare I worked at two years ago, concerning charges that were dropped by the DA.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 01:02 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I'm on a throw away account for this. A year ago, I was arrested for domestic violence charges brought by my now ex husband. I spent a couple of hours in jail before bonding out. This was my first and only arrest ever. It was a complete lie on his end, and the charges were completely dropped by the DA before we even made it to court. All is well after, I completely move on this past year I've even won complete legal and physical custody of our children from him, and he is only legally allowed to have a once a month supervised visit with them. I've gotten back in school and and was accepted in a mortuary science program in December that is very hard to get into. I am very much afraid this can effect my Mortuary liscense. All is well until today, when I received legal documents from the state of California, a notice of Exclusion,stating they are trying to make it where I can never work at a daycare again, or ever be a foster parent. I worked at this daycare two years ago, only as a housekeeper, never as a child care worker. They did make me do a background check/liscene to work there. This has really taken me by surprise that they are doing this, and I am so confused with this. The charges were completely dropped and happened a year ago. I have nothing on my record. Why am I just know getting sent this, and what does this mean? Do I need a lawyer to prove these charges were dropped? Also, was this the state of California sending me these legal documents, or did the daycare do this?

    My friend’s boss told a public livestream with 500+ employees that she had tested positive for coronavirus, sharing her full name and medical information without her consent.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 09:09 PM PDT

    I'm sharing this for friend who doesn't have Reddit, but who needs some advice. I think this would be considered a violation of her privacy, and an infringement on HIPAA, among other things, but that seemed most pressing, so that's how I tagged it. Edit: I don't think that HIPAA applies her. It seems to be a common law privacy issue (public disclosure of private facts).

    Some backstory, my friend has been working from home since mid-March. She's been staying home for just as long, ordering groceries, etc. Last week she got really sick, shortness of breath, a deep cough, fevers for days, body aches. She was tested for covid-19 on Saturday and just found out it was positive today. Luckily, she's recovering and is doing much better.

    Here's her text to me:

    "I let my boss know that I was sick last week with symptoms of coronavirus and was going to get tested. I only let him know this because it would affect when I would be able to work, since we're planning on going back to the office later this month.

    Today, during a Facebook Live on his page, with about 500-1,000 viewers [including many coworkers and clients of the company], he let everyone know that I was sick and got tested for the virus (said my first and last name as well). I have this on recording. Several people tagged me in the comments, which notified my followers and my grandmother found out that I was sick this way.

    Then once I let him and our COO know that I tested positive, he and our COO let a few other employees know that I tested positive for the virus, even though they're not supposed to share any employees medical information."

    Obviously she is upset, as this is a big deal and a very touchy subject. He shared her first and last name in a Facebook video (which my friend has recorded). Her poor grandmother found out in freakin' Facebook, before she'd even felt comfortable sharing with some friends and family. This was her personal information, to choose for herself who gets to see it, and he boss and COO shared with with no regard for privacy twice.

    She'd like to know what her options are, any advice for how to deal with this, does she actually have grounds to move forward with this legally? Really anything would be helpful! Thank you in advance!!

    ETA: We're in DFW, TX, USA!

    Landlord withdrew rent via ACH without permission and then cashed rent check

    Posted: 06 May 2020 11:52 AM PDT

    Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota

    I've lived in my current apartment for about 5 years now. When I moved in I asked about paying rent online, and was told they only accepted checks. Fine - no problem, I've written checks every month for the past 5 years, never a day late. About a year ago the business manager started asking people to give them ACH details so they could withdraw rent on the first of the month. I resisted because pay days were sporadic and I could never budget to have the money for rent on exactly the first of the month, so I didn't want to set up a withdrawal on the same day every month (rent can be paid up until the 5th of the month with no late fees). I also don't like the idea of someone being able to pull that much money out of my account at any time.

    At the beginning of April, I received multiple phone calls asking me to set up ACH - I explained my reasons for not wanting to again, and they said that was the end of it. On April 3rd, I received an email from the business manager again asking me to set up ACH and sent me a screenshot of her having set up an ACH withdrawal using the information from my check, saying that she could set it for any day I wanted.

    I wrote back explicitly telling her that I did not authorize them to withdraw money from my checking account. I went further to say if they required that as a method of payment, I would set up another checking account exclusively for rent, but that it would take time. Her response was that I can continue to pay via check if I'd like. I had also asked multiple times about paying rent online, but that is not an option.

    Fast forward to this month. I paid rent on May 1st. On May 4th, I see they've debited the amount via ACH. Then on May 5th, I see that the check was also cashed, throwing my account into overdraft.

    Luckily, my bank charges no overdraft fees and is connected to a savings account so it just transferred money to cover any overdrafts, so I'm not technically out anything other than my time chasing this down. The business manager said I should have a refund check tomorrow.

    My question is if there's anything legal to pursue here. Are there laws that govern what is required to initiate an ACH payment? Do I have any recourse should this happen again? I don't really have any damages because we took steps to prepare for just this situation after the April email but I can't imagine it's perfectly legal to just debit an account without authorization.

    Thanks!

    My(F17) Sister(F19) has stolen over $500 worth of my possessions and my parents won't do anything about it, should I call the cops??? Please help

    Posted: 06 May 2020 10:51 AM PDT

    First things first I am terrible with Reddit so I am sorry. Some background: My sister is a pothead who dropped out of college twice and now visits just to steal from me and my parents don't do anything about it So my sister has stolen from me my whole life growing up and my parents wouldn't do anything about it. It was annoying but she never stole anything important but now I have to pay for college by myself and my sister within the last month has stolen around $300 from me. She has also stolen around 6 pairs of expensive pants around $75 each and my news shoes that are around $80. I have tried to tell my parents but they say "they can't do anything about it". She has blown all her money and has nothing to her name after dropping out of college twice. I have threatened to call the cops before but she did stop at all. I was thinking of buy a cheap recording device and catching her stealing from my room for evidence when I actually call the police. I don't know if i can legally do it because I don't turn 18 until May 19, I don't want to bump into any legal issues. I am going to take action against her but I desperately need advice, please help me ASAP. :(

    Neighbor's plants have grown on to my fence, and they refuse to allow access for me to remove them.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 06:16 PM PDT

    This is in Baltimore County Maryland.

    Several years ago, I bought my home with the fence already in place. I had a survey done at the time, and the fence is within the property lines by approximately a foot.

    5-6 years ago, we got new next door neighbors. They have done a large amount of planting and landscaping on their property, and it looks fantastic. All of his planting is within his property line.

    Last year, I noticed that a plant was growing through the gaps in my fence. I trimmed the overages, and my neighbor was furious. Too bad, I know I was within my rights to do so. However, what I didn't see was that the vines had grown all over his side of my fence , and the weight of them is now damaging the fence. I tried to discuss this with him, and he refuses to do anything about it, and has now marked the property line and set up a camera. I have a foot wide space to work, and if I step outside of that, even by a step, he calls the police. So I hired a landscaper to do the work, and the instant someone stepped over the line, my neighbor was right there to raise hell and called the police.

    What are my rights here? Am I going to just have to wait until these vines pull my fence down and take him to court to recoup the cost? I'm seriously considering selling now, and I feel that this will lower the value if I have a derelict fence.

    ETA-There is a garage with a greenhouse loft up against the fence where the vines have taken hold in a damaging way. Getting up on a ladder to trim is not an option. Even standing on the roof is not possible.

    [MA] Money from my tax refund was stolen by a local community college through the tax intercept program - do i have any option to get it back?

    Posted: 06 May 2020 07:19 AM PDT

    When I received my refund this year I noticed the deposit was around $1000 short. I looked into it and come to find out that the money was diverted to a local community college through the tax intercept program. I found out that they are claiming that I was a student there and owe the money for tuition. Specifically they claim i registered for two senior level classes 3 years ago but never completed the classes. This is impossible since i was in high school in another state at the time and have only moved to MA last year for college (at another school). I had never even heard of this community college prior to them stealing my money. I tried to look into a way to reach the tax intercept program but have not had any luck. Everything i find lists it as a way to collect child support and other types of debt like that owed to the state but there are no appeal processes listed on any of the sites for it. I reached out to the community college directly and was told that the only way to appeal the intercept is through them. I asked for a copy of all the information they have showing that this debt is valid and they told me they do not provide people with access to their file. They said all they can do is send me the bill which i can appeal to them. I appealed with proof that i was a senior in high school across the country when they claimed i registered and they denied my appeal.

    I am at a loss right now. I really needed my full tax refund. Is there anything I can do? How is this legal?

    Help! My baby mama is accusing me of sexually assaulting my daughters.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 04:54 AM PDT

    Let me start off by saying that my baby mama is a crazy bitch. I live in Texas around the Austin area. This all started when the mother of my first daughter found out that I was getting married. I accidentally told her. Anyway, soon after I told her I was getting married I got called by CPS. The CPS investigator told me that a sexual assault case was open against me for sexual assault against my step daughter (13) and my younger daughter (7).

    CPS interviewed both of my daughters and they came to the conclusion that I didn't sexually assault my step daughter. But they came to the conclusion that it was "unknown" if I did any thing to my youngest. So CPS passed the case off to local police.

    Monday I received a call from a detective. He wants to interview me and hear my side of the story. He told me that I would not be arrested and he just wants to talk. He told me that he has my 7 year old daughter on tape saying that I touched her inappropriately. What should I do? Should I meet with the detective? My gut is telling me not to do it. I think he is going to try to lock me up.

    Also, I would never sexual assault anyone let alone my own daughters. I can't stand people who hurt children.

    Negative police interaction while doing yard work.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 03:41 PM PDT

    I own a home on the corner of a residential street and a small city street in Augusta, GA. My roommate was cleaning up the dirt and grass growing off the sidewalk into the city street. This left a fair amount of debris he was going to clean up.

    While weed eating on the other side of the fence in the backyard, an officer parked his car in front of my house, entered my yard and told my roommate he needed to talk to him.

    The cop basically told him to make sure he removed all the debris or he could get cited by a marshall. My roommate told him he was waiting for the blower to charge and he ran out of yard waste bags, but was going to do what he could once he could use the blower. The cop said, "well that's not going to work, do you have any trash bags, you need to do something now." My roommate ensured him he would take care of it, and the cop said, "i can't cite you because its not my job, but just know you can be fined"

    He then asked for my roommates first and last name and left. Since then he has driven by my house at least 6 times.

    Of course we cleaned the dirt the best we could, but we found it odd he chose to interact with us, who are making our yard look good, when the opposite end of our street has apartment yards littered with trash.

    How should i handle the situation should he enter my yard again?

    My Landlord/Doctor is abusing his power and abusing my insurance

    Posted: 06 May 2020 04:17 PM PDT

    I live in Texas and I'm on Adult medicaid, I have lived in the house im in for about 5-6 years. My Landlord was my dads doctor at first, he found out we needed a place so he rented a house to us. I have seen him for dry and scaley feet also. Fastforward years later my dad just passed away, and the covid19 stuff is happening. My mom and i bring him $200 of the rent in april at his office, but i met him in the back of the parking lot. I try to hand him the 200 and he tells me to come inside for a minute. When i come inside he tells me my feet are gross and i need to dry them after showering and wear better shoes(this is all done in a storage room) then he grills me on our finances and if we will be able to pay rent and for how long. This all happens in a time frame of 3 minutes, then a month later i see on my insurance that he charged me for a medical office visit. He has continually bullied me into seeing him at his office whether i needed to or not. I would tell him, "hey i just need to drop rent off i have stuff to do" or "i dont need to be seen" and he would tell the girls at the registration desk to pull my chart. I have been in constant fear that if i said no he would evict us. Now since my father passed and the virus has been coming around, we are having trouble paying rent and he is evicting us. Now I basically have until the courts open up to find a place for my family to live. The last straw for me was him telling me, " you guys are totally taking advantage of me not paying rent right now." I have nothing to be afraid of now because the worst is here already, eviction, my father passing. I don't want anything from him, but i want to make sure he doesn't do this to anyone again. any ideas what i should do.

    Incredibly loud downstairs neighbors are now intentionally disrupting us throughout the day

    Posted: 06 May 2020 06:46 AM PDT

    My boyfriend and I live on the top floor of our building which only has two apartments (we're above a store front). Just to preface, we understand that our building is a bit old and this isn't my first apartment, I know there will inevitably be things we hear from our neighbors and in general, I'm completely unbothered by the occasional noises. People argue, doors slam, commercials have loud music, I GET IT. But those things should not be constant, all day every day noises.

    We work from home at this point due to COVID, and co-workers on my calls have acknowledged the amount of background noise. I've had to just apologize because it's out of my control. I can tell you what TV shows they watch at each point throughout the day and if I give it enough of my attention I could tell you what season of The Office they're on and how caught up they are with Westworld. When it first became a disturbance, we knocked on their door and politely asked to turn it down because we still have to work 8 - 5 and it's interrupting our work. It was turned down for maybe an hour before back on full blast.

    Asked a second time, stood on the landing knocking on the door for 10 minutes before they heard us. They laughed at us, shut the door, and no change. So we contacted the landlord. 4 times in the past month, we've reached out to her. The first time, he yelled "Fuckin rat snitch" at us in the hallway. Our lease has a clause that 2 noise complaints equate to eviction, but with COVID, no evictions are currently legal. Now, they yell all day, sometimes directed at us specifically, and stomp around so hard that drinks on our tables shake. Our pet also gets stress-induced ulcers in his eyes, and these noises are so disruptive that we've also spent $400 on medication for him this month, which likely could've been avoided if some mutual respect existed.

    Called the cops as a last resort and they basically shrugged at us. Honestly, at this point the guidelines in our lease are not being upheld and the fact that he has the power to control our day to this level is absurd. We have no idea what to do at this point, feels like we've exhausted all avenues and, based on my research, this is legally harassment by now. What the hell do we do now.

    Apartment complex promised compensation for continual water shut offs but hasn’t paid the residents.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 07:53 PM PDT

    (Indiana) My apartment complex has shut off the water from 8-5 for at least 34 days the past 9 months I have lived in the complex.

    They have emailed us to warn us the morning of each day they shut the water off so I have proof.

    They promised us a one time compensation for this inconvenience I have an email as proof but I haven't received a payment and the front office has not responded to any emails about the promised compensation.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Neighbor playing Mosquito Noise

    Posted: 06 May 2020 03:38 PM PDT

    I have a neighbor who installed a mosquito noise generator on the outside of their house.... they have it set to play for 5 minute intervals every 30-45 minutes it seems. Its preventing me(m28) and my spouse (f27) from working and giving us serious migraines. I can't tell which neighbor has it yet because its a little faint and I can't find the source before it shuts off. Is what they're doing illegal? A lot of my neighbors work from home as well/have children. Its a nice day and none of them are playing outside (especially after the noise starts), so its affecting them too. I live in Omaha, NE

    Edit - Its made me so sick I'm vomiting.

    2nd edit - found the source. It was a high school kid three doors down that was using it to annoy his parents working at home since his term is done. Heard them screaming about it through the window when I was out on a walk.

    “Back to Work” questionnaire

    Posted: 06 May 2020 04:30 PM PDT

    I work for a small business in the state of Arizona. My employer sent out a back to work questionnaire to all employees who were laid off due to COVID-19. The questions are relatively run of the mill (asking when we're available, etc), one question seems unethical but I don't know if it's illegal. My employer asked how much I was making on unemployment if I receive it. What would be the purpose of them asking this? Do I have any legal obligation to answer this?

    Help! I'm name twins with a criminal.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 04:28 PM PDT

    Just as the title states, I have a problem. I'll try to keep this as short as possible. This all started a couple of years ago. I received a letter in the mail stating I had a court appearance for a DUI. After many attempts and being flat out told I was lying, I finally cleared my name and my record of this charge. A few years later I am coming home from an overseas trip and once arriving back in the US, I was stopped by several agents that wanted to ask me some questions. After this second incident, I started to do some research. Through my research I found a person in another state that not only has the same first, middle, and last name as myself but also the exact same birthday. Day. Month. &. Year.

    Since this discovery this person has caused me to miss out on job opportunities, continued questioning anytime I return to the country, banned from using Airbnb, and their address is on my credit report. (I've looked through my credit report and haven't found any fraudulent activity) This person does not live in my state (Oklahoma) but they have a DUI charge here. To continue the drama just now I received a rejected unemployment letter with his social and one with mine. I haven't filed for unemployment. I've went to my local investigation bureau to no avail. I don't know what else to do.

    How do I untie this person from myself and my address?

    TLDR: Person with same name and birthday with lengthy criminal record is disrupting my life.

    Destroying evidence in California during COVID-19

    Posted: 06 May 2020 10:57 PM PDT

    I e-filed a civil tort (defamation/libel per se). Because the courts are closed to normal business, I can't get a case number, I can't serve the defendant, I can't request discovery, and I can't get an order to compel production. Meanwhile, the defendant has been destroying evidence (spoliation). Will the court sanction the defendant even though I don't have a court order and could not get a court order during this time due to the pandemic? Can I ask the court to compel the defendant to turn over to me all of his electronic devices, passwords and to pay for forensic recovery of his data?

    PLEASE HELP! Fico score suddenly decreased by 117 points.

    Posted: 06 May 2020 10:23 PM PDT

    Hi Friends!

    I am located in the USA

    Hope you're all healthy and happy. I Desperately need some legal guidance and I'm hoping someone can help.

    In January I had a credit score of 816. Today I checked and my credit score is 699. It's a huge fall and I was shocked. I immediately checked my credit score because I always pay everything on time religiously and I figured maybe it was a mistake.

    Turns out that a gynecologist who I went to see for my annual check up 3 years ago charged me 140$ that I never paid and they sent it to collections. A collection agency called Radius Global solutions.

    The reason I didn't pay it is because the friggin doctor suggested a thyroid blood test which I told her I didn't want but she said it was free and covered by my insurance. Then I got a bill for a test she claimed was free and I wrote her an email saying I never wanted that test and I am not paying for it.

    Radius Collections reported my non-payment and now my score went down 117 points over $140??!!! How is that possible?? I'm so heartbroken.

    This will gravely affect me and my ability to secure loans.

    Can someone please help me? Has anyone ever dealt with Radius Global solutions?

    This is my first time dealing with something like this.

    Thanks so much for any help your provided in advance !
