| UPDATE to Purchased Abandoned Foreclosure TX Posted: 20 May 2020 08:37 AM PDT I had low interest in my initial post, but wanted to give an update in case it could help anyone in the future. My first lesson learned is a common piece of advice here: get a lawyer. I found a local attorney who offered to meet for a free consult with the understanding if we stretched past 20-30 minutes, I would pay. We spoke over an hour, but he said he didn't want to charge since it was such a refreshing change from his typical landlord/tenant disputes. We talked about 1) property laws, 2) how those various laws apply to my situation, and 3) typical enforcement. My initial approach fell apart at 2. He recommended not proceeding with eviction (as I had planned), as it was essentially an acknowledgment of residency. Instead I put up a notice of abandonment for 30 days. My lawyer also advised I could continue cleaning out house in the meantime as it presented a clear health hazard. After 30 days, I had made a big dent in the filth. But the house was still jam packed, and the thought of arranging sales or pickup of all the furnishings and decor was overwhelming. No estate or garage sales are allowed in my city. I ended up contracting with a liquidation company that came in and carted everything off. They sold everything online, and I received around 40% after fees and such. The $1700 roughly covered my costs for cleanup, supplies and such (I filled multiple mini dumpsters). I have since learned that the previous owner struggled with alcoholism and mental illness, and she left around three years ago. She has an online blog, but her last entry was nearly a year ago and doesn't mentioned where she was at the time. I kept a couple boxes of family photos, mementos and her son's armed forces ring. But my lawyer suggested I wait to contact, as there are "villains" in these cases. The first villain is the situation, whether it is mental illness, addiction or simply market circumstances that lead to foreclosure. The second villain is the bank that forecloses. The third is the buyer, who is perceived to have gotten a steal, both literally and figuratively. This is the person most easily targeted for blame. Since I am moving in alone with school aged kids, he recommended I get the house secured with perhaps some monitoring before I consider contacting previous owner to return items. He suggested she might eventually sue me for the cost of items we removed from home. There was so much. And many more auction receipts for diamonds, figurines, and artwork that we believe was removed from home at some point. However, he said we should be legally covered due to documented conditions and ownership of property. After nearly 3 years of no AC in the Southern US and burst pipes, nothing in the home was in pristine condition anyway. Per this sub, he mentioned that "anyone can sue for anything". But she would need to pay a lawyer upfront to take her case or figure out remote small claims filing for herself. If this came to pass, I could pay him $225/hour at 7.5 minutes increments to mail letters and responses he already has fast print templates for on his PC. In other words, it would be more expensive for her than it would be worth. The only weird loose end was the cars. He said this was the most legally clear cut issue, but didn't work out with number 3 above. He said we should be able to call city and have cars towed no problem. However, the sheriff deputy who came out said there was nothing he could do, as the county would not let them call tows due to potential liability. We still didn't have final deed of ownership at the time, so one tow service was skittish. However, we did find a service that ended up picking up all three cars, and I imagine they were auctioned or junked. I am still receiving lots of collection letters here and even a repo drive by for a vehicle that was not here. But we have finished restoring home in record time and are all moved in. Hope that this may help someone at some point in future. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 03:59 AM PDT I originally posted this in relationship advice and was directed to here for better advice, so I'm sorry for the duplicate post! I forgot to add our ages to the title in the repost, I'm 24, my daughter is 7 and he is 49. To preface this, I come from an extremely devout Roman Catholic family, my ma is Italian-American and my dad is Irish-American and I'm one of 8 kids, to give you a rough idea of just how catholic we are - I mention this because I think it's relevant to explain the situation. I was sexually assaulted by one of my father's friends for two years starting when I was 14. When I finally told my parents they told me to never mention it again because our entire family would be shamed if our community found out I was making up such things and that god only lets things like that happen to bad people. My dad did stop associating with his friend though and he ended up moving away - I think my father may have confronted him but I can't be sure. I was about 12 weeks by the time I realised I was pregnant as a result of the repeated assaults (zero sex ed beyond 'sex before marriage is a sin' at catholic school) and my parents decided I would be homeschooled until I had the baby, at which point they would pass her off as their child/my little sister. As soon as I turned 18, I took my daughter and moved to a different state - I haven't spoken to my parents much since. I met my bf a year later and we moved in together 4 years ago - he knows about my past and is extremely supportive and has a great relationship w my daughter. She knows he isn't her 'real' dad because we would never lie to her about something like that but they love each other like father and daughter - and for all intents and purposes he is her father figure. A week ago I received a phone call from my father to let me know that his friend had contacted them and wanted to know if it was true that I had had a baby seven years ago. My parents, believing that it was "his right to know" told him that I had. As a result he now wants to see my daughter, and is willing to sue for visitation rights if I don't let him. My daughter doesn't know anything about her 'father' and I'd like to keep it that way, I know I'm being selfish but I just can't stomach the idea of her being around him, talking to him, or having any kind of relationship with him. I have no idea what to do as if he asks for a paternity test there will be no way of me preventing him from seeing her, my parents never filed a police report for what happened, I was 16 when I conceived my daughter which is the age of consent in my state so I have absolutely no proof against him. What can I do about this? I can't really afford a lengthy court battle, I have a mortgage and am saving up for my daughter's college fund. Also: I live in Colorado and the sexual assault happened in Pennsylvania (which is where he lives still). TLDR; the biological father of my daughter conceived by sexual assault wants to see her, and is willing to take legal action to do so. I absolutely can't let this happen but don't know what I can do about it. [link] [comments] |
| I was the victim of a child sex crime, and my privacy rights are being violated. Posted: 20 May 2020 02:34 PM PDT Throwaway for obvious reasons. The jurisdiction is New York, but I don't think I need to provide a county because I would imagine this sort of thing doesn't vary by county (I also don't want to in order to protect my privacy). I was the victim of a child sex crime. The man who molested me and one other minor was charged with a first degree and third degree sex crime for myself and the other minor respectively, and is currently in jail. During this time of my life, my family had to deal with a lot of medical bills from mental health services I needed as a result of my experience. In order to help pay them, my mother filled out the appropriate forms for restitution and provided them to the DA. The man had no money left after paying bail and legal fees, so the restitution was never paid. During the investigation, when I was interviewed and when I attended a grand jury trial, I was consistently assured that my status as the victim in this case would be protected. I was told the case would be sealed, and any mention of me in court documentation in relation to the crime would not be available to the public. Yesterday, I decided to test if this was true. I was unable to find my name listed in any charging document, news story, et cetera. I then went to a public database for my county's court system. I searched the name of the man who raped me, and 8 documents came up. Two of them were recent, for damages he caused to his house before he was convicted. Five of them concerned the crime he was convicted for, one of which listed the charges. The final document in his file was my restitution, and it was published to the database the month he was convicted. This document includes my name, my home address (where my parents currently live), and the amount of restitution. The document does not detail for what reason this person is providing me restitution, but obviously anyone could figure out that I was at least one of the victims of the only two charges ever against him in the county. This document has been public for three years, and I was still a minor when it was published. I've called the district attorney who managed my case, and left a message detailing the situation. Does my privacy as a victim of a child sex crime extend to a restitution document that could easily be connected to the crime itself? Is my county court legally obligated to rectify this, either by redacting my name and address or by taking down the document entirely? And, because this appears to me as a severe violation of my privacy rights as a victim, do I have any legal recourse against the county for failing to protect my anonymity to the public?

| Protecting sentimental items of value from being sold to pay off debt? Posted: 20 May 2020 07:48 PM PDT Long story short: Chronically ill person in Texas, USA, that needs insurance to live. I'm turning 26 soon, and despite my best efforts insurance does not seem to be happening any time soon. However, I'm not thinking about that at the moment. I have a question about finances and debt after death. I am aware that my family will not inherit my debt (thank god), but I also know that any assets of mine would be liquidated and the funds allocated to paying the debt. ^ Would this apply to items of value? I don't think I really have anything of significant value, but there are a few nick-knacks that might be worth something. However, they aware of extreme sentimental value to some of my surviving loved ones. If it does apply to items of value, is there a way to protect these sentimental items from being sold to pay off debt? Thanks! :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 07:23 PM PDT For some backstory, we had met off Omegle and it had turned out we lived not too far from each other. We had a relationship going on (which was of slight long distance). After we broke up, he has been threatening to leak my nudes and he's forcing me to continue being in a relationship with him (which I was forced to stay in). I don't want to tell my parents for obvious reasons, however, is there a specific procedure for this sort of thing? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 08:26 PM PDT At first, we thought this was a huge win. We'd been of the understanding that the work my sister completed at this shipping company was important enough that they might call back to offer her a chance to negotiate for a better deal. And we received the call today. We started planning the action to request a contract, clarification of duties, who her direct report is/was, and penalties for deviating from the contract. Then the thought struck us that this is/was a ploy by the company to avoid having to pay unemployment since they flat out fired her for taking PTO to see a doctor. This is in Texas. What does the process of reporting a hostile work environment to the unemployment officials look like and best practices? Is there any suggestions or recourse on how perhaps to navigate the further proceedings with the company? A bit more info, this is an accounting position working reconciliations from sales people and other card holders in the company. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 06:37 PM PDT So the restaurant I work as an hourly host at says that because we weren't working when we were paid from the paycheck protection program in the previous weeks, we had to make up the hours in the upcoming weeks. I work part-time normally and receive about $350ish a paycheck at 18-20 hrs a week. According to my employer, this meant that I would receive close to that amount while the restaurant was closed. However when they were forced to open back up at 25% capacity, they brought me back at 40hrs a week (which is fine I need the extra money), and told me I would still only be receiving $350ish a check to make up for the hours they paid me while closed. So I've lost out on thousands in unemployment so they could pay me $350 for a few weeks that they never told me I had to pay back once open. Covid has my family hurting bad with money because only my wife has gotten her stimulus and we were never eligible for any unemployment because we picked up Ubereats to make money not knowing that we couldn't collect the $600 however often they paid it. Do I have any legal recourse here since I've suddenly taken a $5 an hour pay cut and now am working full time at basically minimum wage? Or am I actually required to pay back these hours that I never wanted in the first place. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 05:41 PM PDT As the title says I have no clue where to start. My trust was established in a different part of the country, where we used to live. How do I even find out if it still exists? I'm in Arizona, the trust should be in Pennsylvania. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 08:47 AM PDT EDIT: The email actually invited me back to work on a specific date (Tuesday, yesterday) with the same salary and hours as before. Some background: I heard my employer is currently working through the PPP and trying to do what they can to get the loan forgiven. They reduced the workforce as the pandemic hit, and as far as I know it helps if they get people back on payroll to get some or all of the loan forgiven. Although the company is taking workplace safety very seriously, I am very hesitant to go back as my husband is diabetic and we're both 55+. Am I liable for insurance fraud if I just follow directions and do what I'm told? I should mention that over the phone I tried asking for more info and my employer made a point to tell me they didn't even want to hear my response to the invitation in the email. They sounded really confident that our state UI program would have no way of knowing about this email, and told me I shouldn't just volunteer information to the program that would needlessly work against me. They also tried to reassure me by saying something like "worst case scenario: you lose just one week of UI". I took this to mean they were implying I could skip filing for one week or maybe the obvious thing to do is formally acknowledge I was offered a job. But then, won't that be held against me in the following weeks? This whole thing feels wrong, and my gut is telling me its safest to stop filing for UI from now on. (If I'm just afraid to go to work, that's on me, right?) The company has always treated its employees very well over the 14+ years I've been there, so this behavior is out of the blue. And honestly, part of my concern is accidentally outing them for some kind of foul play by how I file my UI. For example, if I don't listen to them and I acknowledge in my weekly UI filing that I was offered a job, would that hinder their effort to get their loan forgiven? I know they're just doing what they can to survive during this pandemic, but I don't know if lines are being crossed. I'm so conflicted. My husband is working remotely for some other company. If I can't get UI, we'll be cutting it close, but we should be okay (and I'm happy to still have medical insurance through my employer). I'm just not quite sure how to file my UI right now, or if I should consult with a lawyer. p.s. I'm from Minnesota, in case that matters. [link] [comments] |
| Parents won't allow me to get medical treatment. Posted: 20 May 2020 11:39 PM PDT The United States - Illinois I'm sorry if this doesn't fit the context of the subreddit, but I don't know where else to put it. Two days ago I fell off of my bike, this caused me to hit rocks and I have two cuts that are connected. One is three inches and directly on my knee, while the other is four inches slightly lower. (This was an estimate, and measured by width.) I keep persisting that I should see my doctor since it's showing signs of infection, but they are denying me the right to. I am under 18 so I'm not a legal adult and don't know what to do. [link] [comments] |
| Can I be evicted for having a cat after I paid my pet deposit? Posted: 20 May 2020 08:36 AM PDT Hello, so my lease is being renewed and I asked my landlord if I could change the lease to allow me to get a cat. She said it was fine and that it would come with a $200 pet deposit. I asked if I could pay the deposit early and get a cat before the lease renewal was signed and she said that was also fine. I wrote her a check, which she cashed, and then got my cat. Yesterday, the maintenance guy saw my cat through the window and reported it to my landlord. She said that because my lease hasn't been changed yet I am in violation of my lease by having a pet. I showed her the emails where she said I could get my cat early but she said that they don't matter since my lease still states that I can't have any pets. Is she right?

| Posted: 20 May 2020 09:20 PM PDT I ordered a Nectar mattress back in April. After nearly three weeks, I had a delivery date of last Thursday for my mattress, and watched as the tracking went from "Delivery between 8:45 and 10:45am" to "Delivery by 9pm" to being back "In Transit" with a little warning symbol over it. UPS temporarily shut down their live support so I struggled with it but twice I was promised to receive a call from a member of their local team that never came. I reached out to Nectar (different issues with their customer support but that's a whole other story) and let them know, after I finally got UPS to say they just didn't know where the package was, that my mattress was a week late and still had no updates after arriving in my city. They said they would reach out to the shipping partner (UPS) to try and figure it out and let me know what happens. I was told they were just going to see if they could just send me a new mattress which wasn't the ideal solution, but fine. Today I received a notification that my package was due to be delivered, again between 8:45 and 10:45am, then it actually showed up, albeit at 3:45pm. Almost at the same time, I received a message from Nectar that said my replacement mattress had been approved and they would give me tracking information later. Dealing with their customer service has been just short of a joke and even after repeated attempts to cancel the original order (two weeks and no tracking number for what was suppose to be two day processing), I'm not looking forward to sitting in a chat queue again to try and figure it out. I feel like I should refuse the new box whenever it makes it here, if I can't get in contact with customer support before it arrives. If I try and tell them that we ended up receiving the original order, and they don't respond, am I allowed to keep the second mattress? [link] [comments] |
| Hit and run ruined my lawn - person that did it reached out to me. Can I contact them? Posted: 20 May 2020 10:03 PM PDT Hey all - A drunk driver steered up into my lawn, hit a fire hydrant and ruined part of my lawn then drove off, leaving their front end with it! She was eventually found in her house so they can't charge her with a DUI, just a hit and ruin (or what ever). Police told me I can charge the lawn damage to her insurance. I said fine. Fast forward a week, I get a hand written letter, from the drunk driver, offering to fix my lawn. I'd like to reach out to them and tell them I've already submitted an insurance claim so it won't be necessary. Is that an issue? It's currently an open case with the PD.

| Posted: 20 May 2020 07:43 PM PDT (Houston Area, TX) I moved into a MPC two years ago with an HOA. When I moved it was run by another developer who was bought out in the Texas region and at the time they did not have a lifestyle fee, but with the transfer it was added. It is currently at .25% of the gross sale price. I know it is most likely legal, but is there a way out of it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 03:58 PM PDT I was laid off in March. A few weeks ago, my employer asked if I'd work a location over an hour away from my initial jobsite for considerably less than my original wage, which I had declined. This morning, I received a call from the company again. They promised to honor my original wage with a major caveat: either up to 3 weeks of work (while they onboard new hires, and I'd be phased out once their training is complete) OR I could stay on permanently, at the lower wage. Would declining this position be counted against me for the purposes of UI? Edit: a sentence [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 07:13 AM PDT I am considered to be an "essential test taker". My initial exam was scheduled for the end of April. That exam got cancelled... of course, nbd. So I rescheduled to today. Showed up and was told that despite my email from the testing center confirming my exam, I was scheduled for an odd number computer and they are only operating even number computers so I should have been told sooner that I could not take my exam. I have been on hold with this testing center all morning because I can no longer reschedule my exam online due to being past the allowed time frame since my exam was indeed confirmed. This puts me in a bad spot because my license is going to be delayed and I cannot work as I had planned. I know nothing about law and was just curious if anyone thinks I should get something out of this utter lack of competence. Edit: Location: Maryland [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 10:25 AM PDT Through an illegal process called "blue bugging" my boss managed to essentially wire-tap my phone. As you can imagine... a person willing to do this is very obviously morally bankrupt, in a LOT of key areas, and I did NOT have nice things to say about them when I got home. I slowly began to realize what was going on as I overheard my boss asking HER boss for permission to fire me, critiquing my prayers, arguing that she should be allowed to report my friends to their work for the LITTLEST of infractions.. etc. That brings me where I am today. I have factory reset my phone. I keep it completely shut down at work. I disable Bluetooth any time I'm not actively using it.. even at home (Just in case) and have switched teams so my boss is no longer MY ACTUAL boss. Unfortunately.. one of the threats my boss made before I switched to another department, was that she would leak my and my husbands SS#'s to a "dark web" website. Failing that... she would just GIVE that information to whomever she thought MIGHT be criminal.. so that THEY could destroy our credit and she wouldn't "get in trouble." One of the managers that she spoke with already stipulated that if she came after me like that.. he would not hesitate to come forward and admit that she made this statement, but he didn't say this directly to me.. and I fear .. hoping to put the whole mess behind him... he would ultimately change his mind. I know.. that if something DOES appear on my credit, I need to immediately alert the authorities and let them know how the leak happened. My question is this: Is there any way.. WITHOUT getting the authorities involved or filing a report with work, that I can document the threat IN CASE she follows through. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2020 09:23 AM PDT This is kind of a long story but I'll condense it as much as possible. Back in August, I took what I thought was an awesome job with a video production company. My first gig with them was to go out to Colorado and film an event, which I did. While we were there, the hotel we were filming in started to leak from the ceiling. But it was a big leak, like maybe 5 or 6 garden hose's worth of water all at once. They ended up evacuating the building and we scrambled to get all of our equipment out before anything got damaged. We were able to get everything out and nothing got damaged. Now, I make videos about everything. It just so happens I brought my own personal camera on that trip, and what better time to start shooting some juicy vlog footage than when the whole place looks like it's about to flood? I got video of the water pouring down from the ceiling, people panicking, everything, and I still have it. Fast forward about 7 months. I stuck with that company for a bit longer, but there was lots of bullshit that happened, namely, I worked my ass off and didn't get paid for about 80% of it. I found out the owner has an extensive history of working people and not paying them. I left in a huff and I haven't heard from anyone there until last week. They contacted me recently and said they need the footage mentioned above so they can use it as evidence for a hefty insurance claim. In response, I said, "fuck you, you owe me so much money. I'll give you the footage but only if you pay me $3,000 for it" (in a much more civil way, of course). Well, they didn't like that response, and about 10 minutes ago I got an email from the Secretary of the company that hosted the event. He's saying it's my legal obligation to safeguard the footage and that it belongs to them, and that any further retention of the footage is considered theft. My angle is that they don't actually own the footage, as I shot it on my own personal camera for my own personal uses. There was nothing in the contract about using any of the footage from my camera. Therefore, there's no theft on my part. The only thing I'm not sure of is the footage being treated as insurance evidence. By retaining the footage, am I somehow breaking the law? Am I breaking the law by demanding $3000 for it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 20 May 2020 04:43 AM PDT [Pennsylvania] I am 19 years old. I'm currently living with my 60 year old mother who has stage 4 cancer. I have a 45 year old brother but he is a drug addict and has not come around since the cancer. I'm pretty much my mothers live in maid. I have been trying to organize my mother's affairs for after her death. She says she wants to leave everything to me. I wrote a draft of her will but she doesn't want it because it states that she doesn't want to leave anything to my brother or his heir. She doesn't understand that simply telling me she wants me to have her stuff will not matter to anyone else after she has passed. She rents a house and I am not on the lease. I am concerned that if she passes my brother or his kids will be able to come and take not only her things but also my personal belongings since they are in her home. [link] [comments] |

| How to handle 7 year old warrant out-of-state? Posted: 20 May 2020 10:38 PM PDT Hey guys. I used to live in texas for 2 years, and i moved away 7 years ago. Right before i was moving i got arrested for public intoxication, spent the night in jail and got released and issued a $500 fine. I was in a pretty dark place mentally during this time and i've matured and fixed my drinking problem since this time, but anyway, I was an idiot and didn't pay the fine and it was right around the time i was moving and I just up and moved I don't know much about how warrants or arrests show up on background checks, but it hasnt really came up on any background checks. Ive had a couple run-ins with law enforcement for driving related since this time and im guessing it didnt show up on their system and its only inclusive to being in texas? ive also traveled abroad and came and went thru immigration without any problems. Out of curiosity recently i found the citation on the pay ticket website in texas and it still shows the same fine amount, and it shows "Initial arraignment month/2013" and Warrant status. It gives me an option to pay, to plead guilty/no contest/deferred ajudication" but honestly im not sure if im still able to handle this online with it being so long. My main concern is i've had a job with the fed govt since before this arrest, and i believe they do a background check every 10 years for my agency and that is coming up i believe when i have to renew my badge next..so im nervous that they will see that warrant. my other concern is paying the fine online or doing the guilty or deferred dispotion etc and have it create a conviction now on my record and shows on background check now and puts me worse off than it being in that warrant status any input very appreciated!
