| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 10:14 AM PST I got into my car to drive to work one morning and about 0.25 miles from my apartment a girl runs a stop sign and slams my car 90* to the right. The officer comes, she explains there was no stop sign (technically true, but the pole was there) and she didn't know she needed to slow down or stop. The officer obviously marks her at full fault. She's nice about it, says its her fault and she's sorry. It's been about 3 weeks and I called for an update from her insurance company, who is now trying to say it is my fault and that I didn't break in time even though I was hit hard enough to turn my car. I am unsure how to proceed. I do not have a vehicle to get to and from work and I'm bumming rides from my friends with very busy lives, and it is starting to clearly make my boss mad that I need my schedule more than a day or a few hours in advance. Is there a lawyer that would be able to help (I can only find personal injury lawyers), or is this something I'm just going to have to live with because its out of my hands? Can I seek compensation from the state/county for the missing stop sign? Any bit of money would help because this is too expensive for me to cover even in 2 years time. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 03:33 PM PST Hi, So I gave my SSN to my future landlord for the rental application/lease agreement and a month later, he sent all of the people living in that apartment eachother's SSN, past addresses, DOB, etc. +sent it to one unknown person because he mistyped an email. I later went to his office and confronted him because it made me feel uncomfortable that all these people now have my SSN, and he responded with: "I didn't send that email, my assistant did, and honestly, that is way more your problem than it is mine, so it's your responsibility to deal with!" What should I do? Note: This is in Pennsylvania, and it's a landlord renting to a group of college students Thank you. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:07 AM PST Two days ago someone knocked on the door of my parents' house, I went to the door and couldn't tell who it was immediately, so I assumed it must have been one of my parents' friends or a family member needing to drop something off, or get something from our shed (this is in a rural are so things like this are very common). As soon as I opened the door my heart sank when I realized it was my abusive ex-boyfriend, who I dated for several years. He has a history of violent behavior, and he has forced me to do drugs, sexually assaulted me, contacted my family and told them obsessive lies about me in order to destabilize my life when he was out of it. We broke up nearly two years ago and I had not seen him in person since around March of 2019, when he sexually assaulted me. Before I could even say anything, he shoved a stuffed animal into my hands. I recognized it as being his childhood stuffed animal. I was confused and taken aback and asked why he was here and giving this to me. He said, "just take it." I didn't want it, I didn't want him here, but eventually I accepted it just in hopes that it would finally make him leave. I asked why he wanted me to have it again, one last time, and he screamed "BECAUSE I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF." The door was slammed, and through the side window I saw him reach into his bag. My mind began racing and I ran for my phone to dial 911. He opened the front door and had a gun in his hand as he tried coming inside, urging me to come outside. I ran towards the door while crying and screaming at the top of my lungs "Get the f*ck away from me!" I locked the door immediately while screaming, and I heard someone who I instantly identified as his grandmother screaming outside. I was 100% convinced he was going to kill me and his grandmother then kill himself. I ran upstairs while on the phone with 911 and hid myself in the bathroom, trying to explain to the 911 operator that someone was trying to kill themselves and make me watch. A dozen cops arrived at my house, and my ex was gone. I gave them his grandmother's phone number and they called her in front of me. She informed the police that my ex had told her that we were still together and that I invited him over. They urged her to bring him to a hospital and she refused because "it would make him mad." I was shaking and felt like I was going to throw up for the entire rest of the day and night. The next morning, which was yesterday, I went to my local courthouse to file a restraining order him. I was immediately granted a temporary 10 day restraining order on the grounds of domestic violence, and he was given a court order to surrender all of his weapons and will be unable to purchase anymore in the future. I will have to return to court in a week in order to extend the restraining order. My ex will be present and I have absolutely no idea what I am supposed to say. I do not feel safe around him, and he is very knowledgeable in law because he almost went into the law field. I am a very skittish and shy person (I have asperger's which can inhibit my ability to communicate thoroughly when under pressure as well), so I am afraid that even though I am telling nothing but the truth, nothing I say may be enough. My family is pressuring me to try to press charges against him, but I am ambivalent about this. Will my word alone and his grandmother as a witness be enough to extend the restraining order? Will I have to drudge up old text messages or relationship stories as further proof that I need to stay away from him? What can I emphasize to make sure that my ex is kept as far away from me as possible for as long as possible? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 08:08 PM PST My location is Maryland. My brother passed away in October. He was married but they did not have any children. There is a woman who had a baby a week after my brother passed away. According to her the two of them had an affair and my brother was the father of her son. My brother started a business and he later sold it for 7 figures. He was a multi-millionaire when he passed away. The woman who says my brother is her sons father wants a piece of his estate but his will left everything to my sister in law. She says the affair ended before she found out she was pregnant. My brother did not have any contact with her after it ended and he never acknowledged her pregnancy or the baby she was pregnant with or responded to her messages. My brother was cremated just like our parents and grandparents were and his ashes were interred with them. So because there is no way to get a DNA sample of his she wants me to give one. I'm his only living blood relative, we are brothers. The only other relative we have is an aunt but she was adopted so a blood test won't work there. Her lawyer has sent me a letter demanding I take a DNA test and says if I don't cooperate they will get a court order to force me. I don't have any problem with my sister in law, we get along great. But I don't want to get involved in the fight over his will because it has nothing to do with me. I absolutely do not want to do a DNA test. Does anyone know if they can legally get a court order to force me to do a DNA test? Can I refuse? If I refuse (and I will) what will the consequences be for me? If anyone knows that would be great.

| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:45 PM PST To preface this I have two younger brothers, 13 and 14, who are with me. I live in Arizona USA. I tried to read all the side bar and wiki but I might have missed something. Sorry if I broke a rule. Earlier today I was kicked out by my dad. The situation was that his girlfriend kicked down my door to hug me, which I didn't consent to, after a couple hours of crying at my door. After I told her that she needed to fuck off and stop bothering me, my dad chased me out with a raised hand (I'm around 85 lbs and he's much larger so I just ran). I went back to grab my fourteen year old brother and we left to my sister's. I'm not sure what to do in this situation. They threatened to feed my pet rats to the snake and I need to go get them but I can't just go inside because after I left my brother said that she was threatening to jump me and she trashed out kitchen. As for legal action I'm not sure what I can do. CPS does nothing unless there are bruises (they've been called quite a bit) and I'm terrified if calling the police. Questions: How should I get my stuff back? I was thinking calling a non-emergency number and seeing if I can get someone to escort me but I'm terrified of calling them, though I will if that's my only option. [link] [comments] |

| [PA] Landlord is harassing us. What can we do? Posted: 11 Nov 2020 01:53 PM PST My sister and I just started renting a place together. We have been here 30 days and we have been contacted 11 times and received 16 E-mails. The only issues were to make sure we have deliveries sent to our doorstep and not on his garage doors. We were told that if one of our packages damage his garage door we would have to pay for it. Told him we would do our best to give specific instructions for deliveries. The other issue is that I sometimes prop open the storm door. I smoke so I prop it open so that I don't have to wrestle the dog and the door when I step outside. He came over and I explained why I prop the door open and that if it was windy outside I would not do that (because I don't want to pay for damage to it) He also came by last week to change the air filters. For those 3 things we have been contacted 27 times. We see that as harassment. What are our options to have us leave us alone. We have a clean house and are responsible tenants. If we damage something he can take it out of our 2 months worth of deposit he charged us to move in. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 07:20 PM PST ILLINOIS My husband and I had a pretty tumultuous relationship and we ended up separating about 6 months before he was killed in a hit and run motorcycle accident. Nobody from his family even bothered to call me to tell me when he was in the hospital, and they authorized taking him off life support 24 hours after the accident without ever even speaking to me. I have heard from someone close to the family that his son told everyone not to have any contact with me and that he was hoping I just wouldn't even find out until way later. They made all the funeral arrangements without ever talking to me and when they were filling out the death certificate with the funeral director, his son lied and put his marital status as "never married". I found that out when I called to try to get a copy of the death certificate because I need it in order to get all my own affairs in order and to remove him from all my workplace benefits (including health insurance, which he was still covered under my policy). Luckily, I was able to send the funeral director a copy of our marriage certificate and he was able to correct the death certificate before it had officially been filed with the county. Not once since my husband's death has anyone from his family contacted me. When I have tried reaching out, they've blown me off. My husband did not have a will, did not own any property in his own name, and likely had more debts than what he had in his bank account at the time of his death, so there really is no estate to speak of... other than the potential proceeds from a wrongful death lawsuit. We never filed for divorce or even legal separation after we split up, and financially he left me in a pretty big hole (loans that are in my name only because his credit was a bit of a mess) Given the already shady things his family has done with trying to act like I don't exist, what are my options to ensure my best interests are protected here if there does end up being any kind of money? Some facts about the accident that led to his death... my husband did not have a driver's license. He was driving a motorcycle that a neighbor had lent him. The person that hit him was driving a borrowed car at the time and took off immediately after realizing she had hit them. The owner of the vehicle then showed up at the scene of the accident about an hour later, told the police it was his car that had been involved, but he refused to give the police the name of the driver. It's been almost a month now and as far as I'm aware, they still do not have the driver's information. Giving these details since I'm not even sure how strong the wrongful death case would even be given the messy situation with neither driver being the actual owner of the vehicles involved...

| Federal and Social Security taxes are double what I expected on my paystubs Posted: 11 Nov 2020 10:08 AM PST I recently have started asking my boss to provide me our paystubs along with my check because my hours have been messed up for the last couple pay periods. My boss has always talked about this nameless "accountant" she had to run everything by telling us she didn't have a lot of say over financial stuff. After getting my paystub I find that we don't have an accountant. She's just been using a paystub software program to create them. And after looking at it, it looks odd. On the bottom of it, it says my total net pay comes out to $0. Which obviously isn't correct but in the columns where it says net pay it says what my check was actually written for. I also looked into a calculator online to see what my estimated deductions would be and they are about double what the IRS calculator says they should be taking out. I'm very confused about all of this and I don't understand why my deductions are so high and why my paystub looks completely fake. Is there anyway my employer could be faking the deductions taken out and keeping them for herself and the business. There's a lot of other shady money things going on so I wouldn't put it past them United States- Montana [link] [comments] |
| Employer Changing Tip Policy Retroactively Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:25 PM PST UPDATE LOCATED IN COLORADO USA This is the first time I have ever posted on Reddit, because I couldn't find a similar situation or answer Here goes: I work for a small business that has been hit pretty hard by the pandemic (10-12-ish employees). I am the only employee left from Pre-COVID times, so I have been pretty loyal despite massive turnover, stress and inconsistency. Our business is basically a coffee shop/restaurant and bar. Because of COVID, we have had to rely on alcohol sales to pull us through. I am a morning Barista, so the work I do isn't the most profitable. However, through a lot of the transition, I have done a lot of support duties such as cleaning bathrooms, mopping the floors, setting up the extended patio etc that the nighttime shift doesn't have to do. We have struggled SO HARD with the restrictions. One aspect of the transition is that we moved to a Tip Pool, partly because its something that they always wanted to do, and because myself and a morning waitress made it clear that the amount of work compared to the morning tips was not worth it. We were constantly cleaning up massive messes left by illegal late night parties (blunts on tables, cigarette butts on the bar etc). Keep in mind, though, that our (now ex) manager had already decided and announced a tip pool before we said anything. I was told that the tip pool would include all shifts and be split up evenly between bartenders, waitresses, and me, the morning barista. I am the ONLY morning Barista and the only one who operates the espresso machine. I also make alcoholic drinks on occasion. But I was also expected to help set the night shift up for success. This meant, that I was often juicing hundreds of oranges lemons and limes for the bar. I was mopping and cleaning things that I knew no one could get to. FAST FORWARD to a few weeks ago and we have a really good bartender who has stuck around, but she has been complaining that she doesn't make enough money. And I believe it. At this point, our staff is dedicated and stable enough to where my workload has been greatly reduced. As the morning Barista, I don't think I really need to be in a tip pool, as we now also operate two completely separate services. I open and close the shop for coffee, two hours passes, and then the shop opens back up for a more formal dinner service. So. I would definitely be okay with a tip policy change. But today, my boss told me that she couldn't cut a check for last weeks tips because the accountant found a discrepancy in my tips that has lasted for months. I asked what that discrepancy was, and she said that my tips were based off of all the shifts when they should have just been based off of morning shifts. Morning shifts have a significantly lower tip average. As a single mom, I can't afford this, much less pay them BACK. And again, since we have had so much turnover, the manager who developed the tip pool and also verbally told me that he saw how much work I did and believed I deserved an even split... isn't working there anymore. There was no written tip pool procedure. But my current boss also verbally told me that our tip pool would actually operate as a tip pool. I told her that I was under the impression that I was participating in a tip pool that included all shifts and she stated that this was a discrepancy and that the accountant is going back through the weeks to see how much I was "overpaid". The thing is, I wasn't overpaid and in fact took a $3 wage cut during that time period as well. I told her that this situation is very frustrating and that they cannot change the tip policy retroactively. I also told her that I we need to figure this situation out before my next scheduled shift, as I have very little trust in their company. But I don't know what else to do. What would you do? HELP!

| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 08:46 PM PST Hi all, thanks in advance for for your advice! So -- I moved to Los Angeles a month ago and I'm subleasing one bedroom in a 3 bedroom apartment. There is one heating unit in the apartment in one of the bedrooms (not mine). The other two bedrooms and the common areas have no heating sources, and the heat from the one bedroom does not reach my room so I am very chilly! (And I lived in Chicago for a few years so I do know what cold feels like lol) At first the heating unit was broken so we had NO heat during the recent chilly days. When I emailed the landlord about it she told me to call the So Cal Gas Company and tell them we smelled gas, which I didn't do because that sounds shady and also the gas company can't repair a heater. The very nice maintenance guy came and fixed the heater the following day, but my room is still freezing. When I google around, it seems like CA law mandates adequate heat in each bedroom, but the landlord is now saying the law only requires one heating unit per apartment. I told her I wanted to buy a heating unit and deduct it from my rent but she told me I couldn't. Can someone please clarify on what the law is, and give any other thoughts/advice? Is there a non-profit I can ask to send a stern letter or a government agency I can reach out to? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 03:10 PM PST This is gonna be a whole jumble of a mess, but I hope people can understand what I'm trying to say: I work at a sanctuary for an old lady who is now in a nursing home. I've been here 3 months, but my mother has known the owner for 30 years and is the Vice President of the sanctuary's board/committee (?). I was put in charge of the small animals we have at the sanctuary due to a lady (let's call her Karen) not taking proper care of them and having let maggots get in the cages. No problem, I love the animals. A month goes by after I get put in charge and I find out two male guinea pigs got adopted. Wonderful! Who did they get adopted to? Karen. She later that week takes the remaining male after I wanted to bring him to the vet when her child strangled it. I ask the old lady what the hell is going on and turns out she has a soft spot for karen. Fine, whatever. I don't like the situation, but I deal with it. I watch Karen along with my mom for a few weeks and after watching her, we've seen her beat her child (who is severely mentally disabled), steal $400 from the sanctuary and let her child abuse the animals and laugh about it while his own mother beats him and laughs about that. We decide to call CPS, problem is, we don't know where she lived and she's got a fake address put down on all the background sites we look at. Another month goes by and the old lady is now in a nursing home to recover from a fall. Now while she's gone, Karen has gone crazy. She's took the remaining guinea pigs home and a rabbit and two cats. I asked her what the hell she was doing and I was told that the other animals she took died because her son did something, so she wanted to keep these ones. She has also completely took over the old lady's house that is on the farm/sanctuary property. Refusing to let anyone inside and the one time I did get inside, it was awful. The majority of the old lady's valuables are missing, NONE of the remaining animals had any water or food and I think one of the birds is dead. No one here knows what to do. The old lady doesn't want to hurt Karen's feelings and refuses to do anything about her, refusing to even report her for theft. The old lady is completely on Karen's side. Is there anything that can be done? Her child is never in school, always covered in bruises and she beats him constantly. Not just little smacks, she full on beats the poor kid who's not even 9 years old. from what I know, she has four kids in total but lost three of them due to neglect. She only has this one boy left. And I know for a fact she's abusing these animals. I'm so sick of this. Sick of watching her beat this kid and knowing that she's abusing animals that can't even defend themselves. Someone already tried to report her but nothing ended up happening because we can't find her address. We found her real name, but that's as far as we got. And with Covid still being a problem in my area of NY, I'm worried that even if we get the address, nobody will do anything. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 07:45 PM PST I am actually posting this for a good friend, who may join reddit and chime in here, or may make his own post. Some of what is known: Brother was 69 y.o. and a bit of a loner, although he has some neighbors he would help out with rides Will: unknown he was a renter, owned a car, and has stocks and other investments. is there some kind of professional that can be hired to deal with all this, like retrieving papers from house, and evaluating possession, etc. - or does my friend simply need to find a way to get his ass up there? This does not seem likely at this point for various reasons. Can a friend who lives closer be authorized to get access from a landlord? Of course, hiring a lawyer for probate and all that is inevitable, i guess. Any and all advise or links to online guides would be appreciated edit to add: Also, [link] [comments] |

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:46 AM PST My wife and I have a friend who travels a lot, doesn't a traditional job or lifestyle, and doesn't have a permanent residence. She needs to renew her state drivers license and also register a vehicle and since it doesn't seem this can be done with a PO box, she's asked whether she can list our house address. I don't have a problem with sorting her mail for the next several years and want to help out, but am I overlooking anything important? She won't be living here or parking here at all. Thanks!

| Construction company that built my house will not uphold 5 year warranty. Posted: 11 Nov 2020 11:52 AM PST I had a house built in 2017, in Pensacola, Florida. the house is rated for 190 mph winds, and jas a 5 year workmanship warranty. The roof was not exactly damaged in this last major storm, a cat 2 hurricane that was not a direct hit in my city. However, my roof started furiously leaking during, a tiny ocean coming into my second story from the center of the roof to the walls. No shingles are missing that i can see. This is obviously a workmanship issue, the storm didn't damage a brand new 3 year roof, however, the water was coming in-between the shingles, my interior ceilimg has to be replaced. Well, the company is telling me the warranty is void and apparently has an act of god claus that i cannot find, but they rated and warrantied the house for much higher winds and heavier rainfall. The warranty is a 5 year workmanship warranty, and i am certain this was not caused by the storm, i can lift a few shingles and see that THERE IS NO TAR PAPER COVERING THE WOOD, and the shingles jave no tar holding them together. They are telling me it is an out of pocket expense. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 11:13 AM PST Things to note - This will be the second time I've done this. The first time I was trying to break up with him, he convinced me to go on vacation to his mom's 13 hours away from our home state (MO). He almost convinced me to move up there, but I decided I wanted to leave, was having panic attacks so bad I was seizing and he told me he wanted to kill me for embarassing him. I had to have my parents come get me and sneak away. He and his mom then threatened to take my son, so I let him come back under the terms he would "change". He didn't. I had a lawyer serve him a custody petition but he refused to sign it and knew I didn't have the money to fight it, so I had to drop the petition. He is abusive to his other son from another relationship and I am the only thing between him and beating his son. He has mentally ruined his son to the point where his son had a complete mental breakdown and didn't know his name at the age of 10. I have his son covered, don't worry. I'm not leaving him with his dad either. I want us all out and I don't want him to be able to take off with my son or hold him hostage. Since he's been back the abuse only seems to get worse and at one point when I told him to leave he pulled his gun off the fridge and threatened suicide. I am scared for my life, my sons and his own life. I am planning on going to my sister's without telling him, again. I will be out of our home state, about 45 minutes away. Is this illegal? What are legal ways I can get out without him having my son? Is there a legal way to keep him from his gun? I'm not entirely sure it's registered in his name. He said it wasn't and it was a "burner" gun, whatever that means? [link] [comments] |
| What is the process of reclaiming property taken in the recovery of other stolen property? [KS] Posted: 11 Nov 2020 02:40 PM PST About 3 months ago my cousin bought a Kawasaki ATV with an engine that could not turn over and a dead battery for $650 dollars. He did not buy the ATV with a title, only with a bill of sale. He spent $1,000 for a used working engine swapped the old engine, replacing it himself. He also drove out of state for a full day's trip to buy new tires which he also changed himself. By the time he fixed the machine and made it run and drive he had put countless hours and over $2,000 into it. A few days ago he decided to list it for sale. He listed it on Facebook Marketplace, a guy messaged and negotiated with him a bit, then they met at our local family business. The "buyer" checked out the machine, then said he would go to the bank and be back with cash. Hours later, he showed up with a box truck and second guy. They loaded the machine into the truck, and when waiting for payment, the "buyer" said there would be no such thing. He claimed the ATV was stolen from him 3 years ago, and that the police were on the way but he was going to be leaving. Before he got the chance to leave, an officer showed up and almost immediately asked the "buyer" if he wanted to press charges on my cousin (15 years old). They cleared up the fact that he has a bill of sale and evidence of his purchase, so no charges were filed, but the officer let the "buyer" drive off with the machine as is, no further discussion. When my cousin asked about the engine and tires, the officer said that's a civil matter and there's nothing to be done about it. My cousin still has the old engine and tires that he could have replaced with the newer parts he put in. The "buyer" immediately blocked him on Facebook so having any kind of discussion would be difficult, and having someone else message him may lead him to claim harassment. My question is, what is the process of going after the engine and tires, and is it standard for the owner to be able to immediately take his property without any report or discussion? Do the police not hold it for evidence at least? What is the best next step in recovering his parts? Also, do they not verify he wasn't already paid out by insurance?

| Can I be forced to come to work when I'm awaiting results of my COVID test? Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:17 PM PST I started having a real bad cough and fatigue and I went home from work early. I scheduled a COVIDtest for tomorrow through the public health system. Now my boss is saying I have to come to work tomorrow even if I haven't gotten the results yet. Is this legal? I'm in California. [link] [comments] |
| Wedding venue refuses to cancel our date as we request Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:21 AM PST We decided to cancel our wedding due to Covid risks. We understand as per our contract we are forfeiting our deposit. The owner of the venue insists on saving the date and will let us sell it. We dont have the time to go through that. We had made an additional payment of $1k that we would like back. He wont give it to us. Is there a way to get it back? Is there a way to keep him from charging us full price for a date he refuses to cancel for us? [link] [comments] |

| (NC) Friend stayed in my room for a week without me knowing Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:13 PM PST I'm a student in North Carolina and I'm currently living at home due to corona. I'm in a lease with 3 others in an apartment near my university, and I'm still paying rent until I can transfer my lease. A friend of mine decided to live in my room for at least a week without letting me know or even asking. I asked him to pay me a quarter of the rent I payed earlier this month, what can I do if he refuses to pay me? [link] [comments] |
| (HNL HI) Hate account made about me several years ago may interfere with work in the future Posted: 11 Nov 2020 08:52 PM PST Sorry if this isn't the right sub, using my throw away acct. I recently noticed that a hate account made about me from years ago is still up on Twitter. I have never found out who or why the account was made, someone just hated me that much. I didn't care about the account until I found out it is the first thing that comes up when you search my full name on google. I'm afraid this will interfere with my work &/or getting jobs in the future. I do not want to have to explain all the time that I am not affiliated with the account. I've reached out to twitter multiple times about the issue and they have yet to do anything about it. Any advice on what to do would be really helpful, thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 08:46 PM PST (All this happened in CA, USA. Forgot to put it in the title) Hello Reddit, TL;DR
About 9 months ago I purchased a motorcycle from a friend (at the time) in pieces for $7000 with a written understanding that it would come with parts necessary to make it road legal and a title. Turns out he owes significantly more on the bike than I paid him and it didn't come with all the parts to make it legal (took about $1500 in parts to get there). He hasn't given me the title, claiming he can't pay off the loan, which I believe, but has also been extremely difficult about giving me back my money in a way that isn't overly scam feeling. I've tried to negotiate getting ownership of the bike via paying for a portion of his interest on a personal loan to pay off his motorcycle loan as well as just plain returning it to him and getting my money back plus the cost of parts that are not easily removed (which sucks because I put so much time into repairing it, but at this point I'm past the fairness of it). For both situations his response was essentially "don't worry about it just give me time". It's been 5 months since I proposed giving it back to him, I have no legal claim on the motorcycle, he still has $7000 of my money, and I ended up buying and financing another bike so I could actually ride since it's the only thing I enjoy doing during COVID times. I want my gosh darn money back. Last I spoke to him I told him I was bringing the bike back to his property the following weekend and asked what lump sum he would pay me upfront and what he would give as collateral for the remaining debt. He offered "around $1000" and collateral that was definitely not worth the remainder of what he would owe me ($6400). He has offered other items in the past as "collateral" that were worth more than what he owes me, but when I tried to confirm that I would hold onto said items until payment he balked. I know he doesn't have $7400 cash, but he easily has $20,000 or more in property. I told him that wasn't going to fly, that I was agreeable to a lump sum up front and collateral worth more than the debt and a defined repayment period. I've had it with the back and forth, I have receipts for all the parts I've purchased, the payments to him, and messages with him both admitting that he owes me and accepted payment for a bike I can't legally ride and that his loan was significantly more than he thought and he never would have sold it to me for $7000 had he known he owed $12,000 on the bike- which is interesting/stupid/negligent seeing as it's his loan and he easily could have looked it up before selling it to me. I've decided to take him to small claims court and could use some feedback on my approach and the underlying legal theories that would allow me to do so. I think this is a breach of contract, where the contract is a mixture of written agreement through text messages and implied contract that he would use the money from the sale of the bike to transfer ownership to me (otherwise I would be paying him for something he does not own and in return I get ownership of nothing). I also think there may be fraud in the form of negligent misrepresentation of the amount of money that he owed on the motorcycle. He flat out admitted he wouldn't have sold me the bike if he knew he owed more on it than I was paying him, but it was fully within his power to check that before I paid him. At the time of sale he said that the amount he owed was about what I was paying for the bike. Naturally I expected he would use the money from the sale to pay off his loan (which was naive on my part for sure). My plan is to send a final demand letter and then sue him for the cost I have into the bike right now, with a statement that I will return the motorcycle on payment in full. Obviously it means I have to return the bike to him to get the money, which is fine by me because I have no legal claim to it as it stands now. Is this acceptable? I think it would be more clear cut had I already returned the motorcycle to him, but I am wary of doing so because then he has no motivation at all to pay me back. [link] [comments] |
