| UPDATE: My dad's house is serviced by a community well that is now owned by an HOA.. Posted: 08 Jun 2020 06:26 AM PDT Hi all I wanted to update on the outcome of this. Sorry, it's honestly a pretty boring outcome - no cool courtroom outbursts at all sadly. It turns out there were just some liars and there was never actually a legal problem in the first place, my dad was just the victim of the HOA trying to scam him. Here is my original thread. The summary is that my dad lives in a house served by a community well that is next to an HOA (but my dad is not part of it). The HOA told my dad that they now own the well and that he needs to join the HOA and effectively pay them $800/mo to use the well service plus the actual water bill on top of it. He did end up getting a lawyer to see him ASAP. The lawyer told him the first thing he needed to do was get records of ownership for the well and try to get his hands on the details of the sale. However after a couple days he said he was having issues getting up to date records and was waiting to hear back from a contact at the county because he wasn't sure if COVID had delayed records filing or what. Then my dad got a surprise: a water bill from the original well servicer, right on time for their 3-times-a-year billing. Obviously that's odd considering he's been told that they don't own the well anymore, and he called them up. It turns out he was just lied to. The well servicer was never looking to get out of the well business permanently, but rather was looking to contract out the day-to-day testing services of the well to another company because many of the wells they service now require more testing than they did years ago and they no longer have the manpower to do all of it themselves. But they were not selling the well, simply hiring an independent contractor to drive around and do well stuff all day. During that time the HOA had asked them to attend an HOA meeting so residents could ask questions about things like filtration, and they mentioned it at that meeting to let residents know that they would be seeing a new person going around doing testing and wanted to let them know because the testing involves taking samples from individual properties and they didn't want anyone to be freaked out. So when the HOA told my dad they now owned the well, they were just plain lying. When the HOA said they had a new company doing the servicing, they were half truthful: a new company was doing the testing, but the HOA had nothing to do with it, the contract is between the original well servicer and the individual guy they're contracting out to. The original well servicer also told my dad that the HOA had reached out and informed them around the same time they were contacting my dad, that they were taking over handling billing, and that the well servicer should bill the HOA for all properties and the HOA would then include it in the HOA dues billing to "streamline" things for residents claiming it would make their residents' lives easier if they only had to keep track of one bill and not multiple. However the HOA actually has no authority to just declare this and the well servicer just outright told them no, they will continue to bill individual properties. The timing of this coincides with when they started contacting my dad, so they were just trying to pull a fast one on everyone. The well servicer is confident that the HOA has 0 legal authority over the well situation and says they respected the HOA in an organizational capacity, like calling meetings so residents could ask questions, and were professionally annoyed with them trying to insert themselves into billing, but they were not aware that the HOA was claiming to own the well. They told my dad that he should not give the HOA any money for water servicing or accept water servicing related information from them in any way. So going back around to the lawyer, my dad got an appointment with the lawyer to tell him all this and the lawyer had his own news that matched up entirely: The reason he wasn't finding up to date records following the supposed sale was because he doesn't believe a legitimate sale has happened, he thinks my dad was just getting scammed. So all in all my dad will continue to use the well as he always has. He is pretty angry that he had to spend a bunch of money to find out what he already knew, that the HOA is made of dicks, but we are definitely breathing a sigh of relief. Meanwhile as for the HOA my father's lawyer has suggested that there may be room for legal action against the HOA reps for what was basically fraudulent claims. My father doesn't want to spend the money persuing it at this time, but the well servicer did ask for copies of everything he received from the HOA because they want to review it with their own lawyer. Thanks to everyone who gave advice - we're grateful for it and also for the fact that we didn't have to use most of it, ha ha! [link] [comments] |
| My brother is being exploited by an Amazon contractor Posted: 08 Jun 2020 07:11 PM PDT Hi, This is my first ever reddit post - be gentle. Location: Big city in Oklahoma My brother works for a company that contracts for Amazon delivery services. Since day 1, he has had issues with getting paid correctly; this company owes him over $1000 in backpay. He was supposed to get health insurance as of May 1st but keeps getting excuses from management. This came to a boiling point today when he was attacked by a dog on the job. He was dripping blood and has severe bites on his arm, hand and leg. It took him TEN calls to get ahold of anyone from dispatch, who told him to finish his route. Management could not give him his health insurance information (which again - he qualified for on May 1st and is not put in place due to incompetence) until TOMORROW. I am livid. My brother is Bipolar II and struggles greatly with mental health issues. The fact that he is holding down a job right now makes me incredibly proud. He has admitted that he needs to look for another job, but in the meantime, what can we do? Obviously this should be a worker's compensation claim, but he is afraid that he will have to sue - which he can't afford. How can I help my brother deal with this dog attack on the job and filing a worker's compensation claim? Is there any way to report this company to some sort of regulatory agency? Thank you in advance... I am hurting watching my brother get taken advantage of. [link] [comments] |
| I was laid off, boss expects me to finish (for free) a big project given when I was salaried Posted: 08 Jun 2020 10:12 AM PDT State: Illinois. Basically, I was in a salary position and handled large projects that take days/weeks, so my job was never 9-5. With the current crisis, I was working from home for a few months. Last week, Thursday afternoon, my boss asked me to start working on a project requiring ~25 hours of work. The deadline was Friday, June 12, and I had another project ongoing, so I didn't start that new project right away, since I had time to handle it later. Today (Monday, June 8), my boss called me to tell me I've been laid off, but I'll keep working as a freelancer, because they can't afford me on a salary. I haven't started that big project yet, because I didn't work over the weekend as I had no idea I was about to be laid off; it was done with strictly no notice. Boss wants me to finish that project without being paid as a freelancer for it because I received the order while I was still salaried. He thinks that if I had worked all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it'd be done, therefore it's my responsibility to provide that labor for free now that I'm not salaried anymore. We're talking nearly $500 for that one project alone that I should get if I'm paid as a freelancer. Is he right? Do I "owe" my company that labor for not completing work I could have completed if I worked weekends but didn't because I thought it was unnecessary? Thank you in advance. [link] [comments] |
| [VA] HELP! Forced to live with creepy uncle Posted: 08 Jun 2020 06:14 PM PDT I [16 F] live with my biological uncle (who's in his 20's, I'm not sure) he always brings up how he wishes I was 18, hints he wants to do sexual things with me and he's very over-protective when it comes to other boys. Always drunk or high. He checks my phone for nudes and hopes he'll find some. My parents won't take me back and they have custody of me, how do I get in contact with somebody that can help me get out of here? Ps. I just made this account to post about this. [link] [comments] |
| Update on Dad trying to take my car from 2017 Posted: 08 Jun 2020 08:02 AM PDT Below is the link to my original post. So after all has been said and done I have my car back. Last year I got so tired of dealing with him that I gave the car back to him and told him to never speak to me again. Between my last post and now I got into a wreck and my father told he it might be a good idea to kill myself. My mental health obviously spiraled and what he said wrecked me for another 2 and a half years. I had planned on taking him to court over the car and emotional damages but that is entirely unnecessary now. My father passed on in April from Covid. His wife decided to sell it to my mother for a dollar so that she wasn't technically breaking her promise to him. My mother has turned around and sold it to me for a dollar and as soon as the death certificate is in we will switch the title to my name. I have my car and I don't owe that monster 10,000 anymore. Thank you for the advice that was given on my previous post, it was a huge help while the car always in his name. [link] [comments] |

| Apartment didn't see my 60 day notice in time, blames me Posted: 08 Jun 2020 11:03 AM PDT My lease is up on July 25th, and I want to move out on August 1st (prorated rent between those dates). My lease agreement states that a "written notice to vacate" is required 60 days before the move-out date. Since my leasing office is closed due to COVID, I emailed them on May 22nd stating that I intended to move out on August 1st and that I hoped that the email could serve as a written notice, but that if I needed to do something else they could let me know. They didn't respond, and I called them and left a message saying the same thing on May 27th. They didn't respond to that either, so on June 1st I sent a follow up email saying that I wanted to confirm that the notice was received. They responded and said that they didn't see the first email, and that they would put me on notice to move out August 1st. They attached a Notice To Vacate form for me to fill out, and a mandatory part of the form was filling out my new address. I was in the process of signing a new lease and didn't have that yet, and asked if I could get the form back to them when I got it from my new leasing office. They said "that works, no biggie" and that was that. I just got my new forwarding address, so I filled out the form today and sent it back. They responded with this: " Thanks so much for getting this back to me! So the date when you delivered the notice is correct below as of June 8th but 60 days from June 8th will be August 7th. I just want you to know if I put you on notice it has to be 60 days from when notice was received so your move out date will be August 7th not August 1st. " If I made multiple efforts to contact them and they didn't respond until the day I needed to have the form in, and didn't mention the time restraint, is it really on me? Is there anything I can say to fight this? Thank you in advance, sorry for the long post. Edit: I am in Ohio [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 12:22 PM PDT I live on the 3rd floor apartment with serious concrete damage. They have serious cracks/sag about 3-4 inches and aren't even touching the beams. Meaning the slabs are being help up by the rebar only basically. It's a serious issue that is a ticking time bomb. I have notified the front office about it 3 months ago. Nothing was done. When they came to "fix" my A/C the other day I mentioned it again. I am in the construction industry so I know this is a real problem. What should I do to get something done? I will not be renewing my lease but I would like to address this issue before it kills someone. Thanks Reddit [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 09:07 PM PDT Location: Kitchener, Ontario We moved into our new house in a brand new development me and my neighbors are among the first houses to be finished, and we moved in on June 1st. Back in late may when the hand off occurred, it was mentioned that the whole neighborhood was wired for fiber by a certain ISP. We ended up signing a contract with them for internet/TV/home phone lines for a year. Our neighbors are also experiencing the same issue.
My other issue is i called the other big ISP in our area who offers internet over cable, and they apparently do not offer service in our area yet.I am just kind of confused because i fully expected this stuff to be done in advance. Furthermore how can they keep me in this contract? Also i am somewhat confused isn't there some sort of bare minimum requirement for neighborhoods to at least have telephone wiring working?

| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 01:46 PM PDT So this may seem petty but I am a bit upset at this. I bought a 5G phone in December from Sprint because I liked the device and access to 5G was a advantage since I travel and work from my hotspot often. Well Sprint merged with T-Mobile and I received a notification that I would no longer be able to access 5G on my device. I called into customer support and they confirmed I would no longer be able to connect. One of the main reasons I paid extra for the device was for access to 5G and I feel like I am getting shorted now. They offered me a "deal" where I can upgrade my device to something that can connect but I would have to pay off the remaining amount due $700+ and then I can get a new one. This is no different than before the changes, and I am looking to see what my options are. After hours on the phone with various levels of reps and supervisors had lead to nothing. I had thought of filing a complaint but I am not sure what the best place to do that would be. Any help would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Rent is set at $499 on lease, landlord says it's $575 unless I post about apartment on social media Posted: 08 Jun 2020 02:14 PM PDT I am looking into apartments around my area (Nevada) and found a room for $499/month + utilities. I contacted the landlord about the apartment, and she said that it is $499/month IF I make a post on Instagram saying how excited I was to live in X Apartments. If I don't make the post, she says it's $575/month + utilities. Is this legal? The listing explicitly said it was $499, and there are repeated references on their website to this price.

| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 07:44 AM PDT A few days ago I ran into my ex-wife whom I hadn't seen in almost 17 years. She was with her daughter. That night my ex-wife messaged me to let me know I'm her daughter's father. I was never informed of that before. I believe it to be true because she looks a lot like me. I knew my ex-wife was pregnant when we divorced, but she claimed it was with the man she was cheating with. At the time it seemed likely so I believed her. As a result I never had any opportunity to be a father to this kid. If I had known I would have gone to court for at least visitation rights. Her daughter doesn't know who her father is either. She was raised by a single mother. I messaged my ex-wife back to say what she did was unfair on her daughter and I. She answered that if I ever talk to her daughter she will sue me for 16 years of unpaid child support. And she told her daughter that her "sperm-donor" was abusive and abandoned them, so I'd better not try and talk to her. None of this is true. I'd like to know, first if I have any right to talk to my daughter. There are things I need to tell her, in particular health related things she should know of. Second, if I do so, can my ex-wife really sue me for child support? I would have contributed to raising my daughter if I had known, but I'm certainly in no position to pay 16 years of child support at once. Third, could her lying to her daughter about me be considered alienation? Edit: I just checked into my divorce papers. She didn't mention to the judge or our lawyers that she was pregnant. There's no mention of it anywhere. She only told me, and I didn't tell my lawyer because I didn't think I was the father. [link] [comments] |
| Is it legal to threaten termination of an employee for discussing wages with fellow employees Posted: 08 Jun 2020 08:18 PM PDT (USA) I work in Tennessee for a very popular franchised restaurant. I recently became aware that two employees I work with are currently being payed a higher hourly wage than myself. These employees have both been with the company for less time than I have, one has significantly less work experience than I do. When I brought this up with a manager, I was scolded and told we aren't allowed to discuss our wages I was subsequently told by the two employees mentioned earlier that they were told they would be fired if it was discovered they had continued to discuss hourly wages we all make. Is it legal for an employer to fire its employees for discussing their hourly wages amongst one another? [link] [comments] |
| Seller Passed Away Before Closing Posted: 08 Jun 2020 05:51 PM PDT State: Indiana My Fiancé and I put an offer on a house in April and it was accepted. The closing date was set for mid June. The homeowner passed away in May and the property was being taken care of legally to get into one of the homeowners children's name so we could close. Last week we were told that all the children had to sign off. There is an estranged daughter that took them weeks to locate. Once locating she said she would sign. Now, we just got told she changed her mind and would not sign. She had decided to go to court because she believes she should be the executor of the will. Now: Our current lease is up at the end of June, we don't know if the closing date will be in weeks or even months. Since we are unable to close on the original date, what rights do we have, if any? We currently have $250 in the inspection and $500 in the VA appraisal. Should we just start looking for a new property? Can the contract be mutually dissolved? We are first time homebuyers and don't know the next steps. [link] [comments] |
| (VA) [Bird Law] HOA may be harassing our local Canada Geese Posted: 08 Jun 2020 07:17 PM PDT To make a long story short, my family has befriended a pair of local Canada Geese by feeding them (yes, I know, not the best thing to do, not my idea). These geese normally do not approach anyone, and will actively avoid anyone but us, however they come paddling happily up when called by name. A couple of weeks ago, when a family member was feeding the geese, a local woman approached along the footpath with two dogs, who she promptly let off the leash to bark at and attack the geese. They were scared away, and my mother confronted the woman about her actions. She claimed that she was acting on behalf of the HOA, and the HOA was actually getting community members to walk dogs around to "scare the geese off." On top of that, she casually explained that those same members were told it's acceptable, if they find a goose nest, to "turn the eggs" (shake them up, technical term addling the eggs). My family member thought nothing of it as she assumed it was "official HOA business" and assumed it was above board. Today, the female goose was in her usual spot, but was apprehensive, and the area where they've been living was strewn with goose feathers and down. We looked for the male, and found him in a different pond, visibly shaken, with loose feathers sticking up. Being protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as far as I know, it's illegal to harass these geese unless it's been determined that they're a nuisance. I have a hard time believing that these two geese nesting by a quiet pond are a nuisance. Beyond that, I have a hard time believing that indiscriminately addling eggs as they're found and literally "setting the dogs upon" geese is an accepted method of wildlife management in a residential area. Is this something I need to contact US Fish and Wildlife about? Should I contact the HOA to try and get some kind of official position as evidence? Unfortunately we don't know the name of the person and I'm reliant on a loose description of her. I understand if we're potentially SOL in the situation, but it's not something I'd be surprised about our HOA doing or condoning, and I don't want to visit our friends one day to see a goose lying dead on the shore because of a dog attack.

| Landlord wants to charge me rent even after lease ended and I have moved out Posted: 08 Jun 2020 09:36 PM PDT Hi everyone, A few months ago I moved into a 3 bedroom apartment in California with 2 other girls (lets call them A and B). We all signed a lease that ended May 31st, 2020. I have no affiliations with the two of them, I just found them online. Roommate B has always been problematic (not paying rent, not paying utilities bills, among other things). When the lease expired, roommate A and myself have moved out promptly, but roommate B refused to leave. It turns out that roommate B claimed medical hardship in order to stay past lease expiration. For some reason the property manager was unable to kick her out (probably due to covid19 + her medical claims). Today the property manager texted us in a groupchat and said he is filing an eviction against ALL tenants on the lease, myself included, even though I already moved out 2 weeks before. He also said he is charging all of us a prorated rent for the duration that roommate B overstayed. He said that if one tenant violates the lease agreement all of us are liable for it. My question is, is it true that he can file an eviction and charge me additional rent, when im not even living there anymore and our contract has since expired? How am I responsible for another tenant's violation of the lease? I am already really stressed out because I have to pay all the utilities bill by myself (totaling ~$800) because roommate B is not paying me back, so any thoughts would be very appreciated. Thank you everyone in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 10:22 AM PDT # Throwaway for obvious reasons… I've been a reader of legal advice or years, never thought I'd be posting, yet in retrospect, seems kinda obvious. Regardless, throwaway, etc. Backstory: I'm a mid 40s male. When I was 16, I was raped by my youth minister. He got me drunk, and raped me while I was passed out. I woke up in the middle of it. It probably doesn't matter in the context of this post, but I'm not gay, and this definitely wasn't statutory rape. Even if I'd been sober, I wouldn't have consented. Before it happened, the youth minister told the church leadership that I confessed to being suicidal. I wasn't suicidal and certainly didn't confess, but I'm sure it was a preventative attempt to discredit me. They believed him. At no point did either the YM or I bring up the rape. I stopped attending the church. A couple years later, the YM was fired for calling gay porn phone lines from his church office. The church elders came to my house, told me what happened, and apologized. I told them thanks, but no thanks. That was the end of it. I've never told anyone about the rape. Like many victims I just wanted to forget it, so years ago I decided to let the matter lie (perhaps not my proudest moment). But last month, out of the blue, the YM sent me a Facebook message. The message was seemingly innocuous, just something that you'd send to a long-lost friend. My Question: The Facebook message has brought up long-buried emotions. I've thought of little else since. After a bit of googling, I learned he is currently a minister at a church within a couple hours drive, and I'm considering informing the Elders of his current church that he raped me. Obviously, after ~25 years, I've no proof; it's definitely a he said/he said situation. I'm worried about leaving myself open to a defamation lawsuit. It seems plausible that the YM would want to defend himself. If I'm believed, the information would destroy his career, family, probably his life. Google has also informed me that for a defamation lawsuit to be successful, you have to 1) prove the statement was false, 2) show damages, and 3) the statement has to be malicious. I'm looking for a lawyer now, but I want to be prepared during the initial consultation. Under the admittedly brief and detail-lite situation outlined above, would a defamation suit brought by my former youth minister likely be successful? I'm not a rich guy, paying for a defense would be difficult. Is there anything I'm missing? Some sort of law that protects victims of sexual assault? Is there anyway to share the information safely Edit: God, haven't even posted it, yet, and already adding an edit. After rereading my post, I realize there's probably no way anyone can give me specific advise. I guess I'm trying to determine if there's even any point in consulting a lawyer. Are they just going to say I'm opening myself up to massive liability with no upside? Anyway, thanks for any advice/insight provided. Also, on a personal note, tell your children to heed their spidey-sense. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 11:03 AM PDT California-Two weeks ago I was given a department change and raise offer and I went through with it. It's on my schedule and I've been very excited about moving out of "lot". Yesterday the assistant manager who interviewed me for it told me he now has to hold the raise off until I fight for the position with other associates, who he's picked recently, and I only get the position and raise if I I'm a better fit than the people I'm competing with. Is this even legal? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 11:58 AM PDT We put in an offer in February. Prior to us putting an offer in and going under contract, the sellers disclosed that they had a plumbing problem the previous December. They stated that there was a clog in the sewer line in the house caused by non-flushable materials and that the clog was removed by a licensed plumber. At the same time, since the sewer system in the house was already being scoped, they had the sewer line scoped for orangeburg. They included a copy of an invoice from a plumber with a brief description - removed clog, stop flushing these things, yadda yadda yadda, also scoped residential sewer line and found no fiber pipe. With an invoice from a licensed plumber saying no orangeburg, we stupidly did not pay for an independent scope check of our own. In May we began to have sewer problems and brought out a plumber. He immediately knew what our problem was: orageburg. He said that the house DOES have orangeburg pipe, and that it had previously had a bandaid put on where they line the orangeburg with an inner lining, but that it didn't help and the pipe is partially collapsed. He said he's shocked we didn't have problems sooner and it's probably thanks to us using trusty Scott 1000 because anything better would have clogged up the collapsed pipe again. More importantly and shockingly however, he had already been to the house for this issue. He checked his records for us and it was 10 days prior to closing (25 days into our contract). He said it was an after hours call and he found that the pipe was partially collapsed and with a reduced opening, matter was becoming blocked up at the collapse point and clogging. He advised the homeowners that they needed to immediately replace the orangeburg. He tells us that the homeowners told him they had a previous plumber tell them it was NOT orangeburg, so they were going to follow up with that other plumber who must have made a mistake. He never heard from them again. Out of all the pumbers in the world we just got lucky and called the same one. We just talked to him for the final time this morning so we are just coming out of shocked and confused mode. We don't know if the previous owners had an obligation to report this to us or not. We are going to try calling some lawyers this afternoon but we are overwhelmed by what is going on and wondering if anyone can provide any insight as to what to expect legally, or if we are just SOL. Thank you for reading all this and have a nice day. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 08:04 AM PDT So I've lived in my home for over 10 years and I'm so tired of dealing with it! This morning I went to MY backyard and found an old broom and an old yard decoration along with old plastic light bulbs and tree trimmings. This happens regularly as the fence in the backyard does not sit on the property line. Years ago before we bought our home, neighbor built a fence, but there was and still is a huge elm tree on the property line so he built the fence about 3 feet onto his property to avoid the tree. There is no way for him to access this property as the tree blocks access and our small garage prevent him from walking around - he'd have to trespass or jump the fence to get to it In the front of the properties our driveway butts directly up to the property line. Essentially, when anyone gets out of a car in our driveway from the passenger side ,they step out onto his property.. he has planted saplings along the property line to further inconvenience us in addition to the big elm and another small elm. He doesn't trim any of them. Just let's them fall and collects insurance. In fact the large elm dropped a huge limb on our garage and destroyed the roof. In college I took a real estate law class and remember something, (maybe an easement?) where you can say that you need a small part of adjacent land in order to have full access to your own land. Can someone please explain what options I might have in getting this awful neighbor to stop being such an asshat? I would really love to take that strip from him. Also, side note, he recently listed his home for sale. Thanks in advance for any guidance you may have for me! [link] [comments] |
| Website Calling Out a Racist Politician [Missouri USA] Posted: 08 Jun 2020 04:36 PM PDT Hello, I live in Missouri and a local elected politician recently went on a somewhat racist rant. He has since removed it from Facebook but some of us have all of the screenshots. Let's pretend his name is Joe Dirt. If someone were to register the domain IsJoeDirtRacist.com and post all of the screenshots would any laws be broken? The plan is to make a site that says "On June 7th Joe Dirt posted this to Facebook. He has since removed it. We believe that his post should be seen by the public." After that we would list the 13 screenshots. His post was posted using the public setting on Facebook, so this was not a private conversation. [link] [comments] |
| Can I move out of state with kids? Posted: 08 Jun 2020 08:45 PM PDT My husband was arrested 2 nights ago after strangling me in front of our kids (6/7) I'm also 3 months pregnant. He saw the judge today, he has been charged with 3 counts, 1 a felony. He has a no contact order with myself and our kids. We have lived in Wisconsin for 1 year, and I want to move back to my family in Oregon. That's where we lived before moving here. I'm not sure how much longer he'll be in jail for, he has 2 more hearings. Am I allowed to move with my kids out of state? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 07:28 PM PDT I posted this question earlier this year: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/ev81l1/ten_years_ago_i_cosigned_for_a_friend_so_he_could/ And in case anyone wanted an update, I thought I'd share. What happened is, to my surprise, he actually finally DID get me off the loan by refinancing. I was so sure he would never let me off the hook I actually tried getting him to come with me on Judge Judy (because the producers pay your judgement if you win), but that turned out to be unnecessary. Why he choose this particular moment to finally get me off the thing, why he didn't get my name off of there the first few times I've mentioned it (over a decade of time!) I have no idea. I'm going to assume that insulting him and threatening to put in a complaint with the nursing board and his job did the trick. FYI I did call Fedloan to make sure he wasn't lying to me about it, and the loan is already showing "paid off" on my credit reports. May I never cross this motherfucker's path again.
