| Landlord gave permission to other tenant to install a hidden camera in the kitchen in California. Posted: 04 Mar 2018 08:05 AM PST I am renting a room in a house where there is other tenants. I share it with two other people and the landlord. One of the tenant, Jane, is extremely paranoid about people using her stuff in the kitchen since we all share that space. She always accused me of using her soap, paper towels, etc. I recently found a hidden camera in the kitchen and I had a feeling it was Jane's. The camera looked like a USB power brick, and it was plugged into the wall next to her cabinet. I took, and reported it to the landlord's wife. And the wife told me she was given permission to record us. But if I remember correctly in California, I would have given her my consent. I no longer have the hidden camera in my possession because I turned it in. Which is stupid of me now I realized. What is my next step of action? [link] [comments]  |
| My ex-landlord is refusing to return my deposit unless I go out to dinner w/ him. Posted: 03 Mar 2018 11:30 PM PST In September last year I moved into a small room in the first floor of a house near the university where I work. I paid three months rent up front (2 mos deposit plus 1 month rent for the month of September). I signed a very brief 1 page agreement (I don't know if it can be properly called a lease) stating that:
Those were the only terms and I always paid rent on time. So I deposited 6k up front, and paid 2k a month. He was always very chatty. He lived upstairs and had to pass by our rooms to leave the house. I should mention that I had the cheapest room because it had exactly ONE source of ventilation -- a small narrow window above the door that opened into the hallway. The other 2 downstairs rooms have real windows that open to the outdoors. Since my room was always hot and stuffy I kept my door open a lot, and the landlord got into the habit of knockig then poking his head in to ask how I was doing. I kept it friendly but brief (said "i'm kinda busy" and "just working" a lot). I found the whole thing a bit annoying but bearable. In the last week of January he started texting me, asking me out. I said no multiple times. At one point he texted that I shouldn't assume anything "malicous," he just wanted friendship. When I didn't reply he texted, "I'm sorry I take that back, I have a crush on u." Exasparated, I asked him to please stick to landlord/tenant related issues in his text because I was seeing someone else and not interested at all. The last line of that text was, "I'd prefer we stick to professional matters in our communications." Very formal but I wanted him to leave me alone. He got angry and asked how he had been unprofessional. I didn't reply and he started bugging me about "becoming friends" again. He said he "really needed a true friend." That final text barrage was the last straw. (He has a habit of texting really long messages. Walls of text.) Also I got tired of closing the door to discourage him from talking to me. It was incredibly stuffy in there. I said since it was the end of January, I would be willing to stay until the end of February to give him time to find a new tenant. I said I would not pay rent for Feb, to consume 2k out of the remaining 4k of my deposit. But at the end of Feb, I wanted my remaining 2k back when I moved out. That was when he got quite nasty. He stopped looking into my room but he sent angry texts accusing me of trying to cheat him. He said I could not begin consuming my deposit until I had stayed fot at least 6 months, but there was NOTHING like that in our signed agreement. He said I had verbally agreed to those terms when I moved in. I HAD NOT. He accused me of being a liar. Frankly he said a lot of stuff, some of it unintelligible ("Your stomach hurt because your so sensitive to my honest intentions that now u want to deprive me of my livelihood?"). I got so frustrated that I went up to his room to talk to him. AND HE REFUSED TO OPEN THE DOOR. When I finally went back downstairs, he said to please stop knocking because there was no use having a "nasty face-to-face confrontation." He said the soonest I could leave was by the end of April, and as soon as I accepted reason, he would be willing to talk face to face. He said I could leave but that meant he would never return my deposit. So I left. Maybe that was wrong, but I literally did not want to sleep another night in a room my crazy landlord could unlock at any time. I left on the last day of January. Another barrage of texts. I simply stopped replying except to say I would be seeing a lawyer to reclaim my deposit. A relatively small sum to a lot of you, but I did (and still do) need that cash. He got even angrier. Finally, since I never replied, he stopped texting. Then today he texted. The gist: I've been thinking about you, sorry for the horrible things I said, I still want us to get to know each other. Want a compromise? Meet me for dinner. I still have your 4k. We'll each get half. I'll give you your 2k if we eat at [expensive restaurant in the area] using my 2k because I'm so generous. I do not have words to describe how crazy I find my ex-landlord at this point. Just to add, I'm 29 and he's probably in his early 50s (yet texts like a teenager). I really want even just 2k back, but I do NOT want to see him again. What should I do? [link] [comments]  |
| At what point is my home bakery a legal business? Posted: 04 Mar 2018 05:45 AM PST Hello! I live in Virginia and bake cakes, cookies, etc at home as a hobby. I am not quite a professional (some of my work is on this account history if you want to see) but I am pretty great with non-decorated goods and getting there with decorated cakes. Friends and family are increasingly asking for cakes and are willing to pay for them. Particularly because I have a nearly-1-year-old daughter and am involved in a lot of mom groups - these other moms are interested in paying me for custom birthday cakes for their children. But my husband has also offered to post on his company's community services bulletin board for me. I do love baking and these projects are good ways to try new techniques. At the same time, though, I certainly can't afford to make a smash cake + 30-serving party cake for every Aiden and Olivia's first birthday party for free. My question is: at what point do I need to go through all the steps to become a legal business? I feel like if friends and family are just paying me for ingredients, that's okay but advertising my services is over the line into "business." But then what happens when a friend-of-a-friend sees one of my cakes and comes to me for a quote? I don't feel I am at the professional level yet when looking at cake companies in my area and just in general. I would eventually love to have a home bakery business and have read up on the cottage industry laws for Virginia regarding licensing, inspections, and more. Thank you for your time and advice! Edit: To provide some clarification: I am aware there are food regulations/cottage industry laws regarding baking at home, as I mentioned above. I looked into all the regulations for having a full business operating out of my home and there are some modifications I'd need to take regarding my pets, storage space, etc to be 'up to code' so to speak, for the state. Because of this, my main question here is when do I need to worry about crossing the line between 'hobby' and 'home business'. [link] [comments]  |
| Overheard boyfriend’s estranged dad saying he is going to hire a hit on me, what do I do next? Posted: 04 Mar 2018 07:44 AM PST It's a long story of how we got to this point, but it's been about a year since my boyfriend last talked to his parents. We traveled today to visit his grandparents, who we are on good terms with, in Tennessee. This is also where his parents live, but in a different city. When his parents found out, his dad called his 83 year old mother-in-law and screamed through the phone that he would be hiring a hit on me so that his son would finally come home. It brought his grandmother to tears. He went on about how he will take whatever punishment that would entail, IF he got caught. The seriousness in his voice was extremely unsettling. My boyfriend and I are driving back to our home in Michigan now. What legal steps can I take to make sure that these people do not come after me? Edit: accidentally omitted that I DID call the police and they are beginning an investigation. Wasn't sure if there is more I can do. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 09:18 PM PST Both me and my twin brother started an LLC. With both of us being minors our mothers signature was required and legally owns a third of the company as well. She put no money into starting it up and pays nothing in upkeep. A recent dispute over her claiming us to have used her to get her signature and not paying her correctly has basically escalated in to a family dispute which led to police coming to our house and her leaving us in a restaurant parking lot to walk home, this has now led to her taking our desktops and laptop away both of which have necessary stuff to keep the company running. It is necessary for us to regain control of the laptop for legal reasons with both the company and with our customers, but she is unwilling and does not care to give it back and has said she was "going to sell them at the pawn shop" We bought both the computers and the laptop with money we earned from previous employment... Sorry for this spiel, just really need help to acquire the laptop. Location: Washington State, Pierce County [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2018 08:41 AM PST My friend, who is a nurse on an acute care floor in a hospital, had a physical injury from her work. The employee health manager investigated, and determined that she had an unusually high number of acute(ie obese) patients to take care of, and this significantly contributed to her injury. She had a workman's comp claim, and was given time off to heal her injury. When she returned to work she felt she was again given a much heavier work load than normal. When she remarked about it to the charge nurse, who is acting as management, she was told: "You're always complaining. You haven't even been working." This implies that she was not entitled to her legally guaranteed workman's comp benefits. Is this an illegal retaliation for her claiming her workman's comp benefits? And this remark was made loudly in front of other staff. Is this defamation of character? The charge nurse who made this remark is also the union representative who one would assume should be working to protect the rights of the nurses. Is this an illegal conflict of interest?

| Husband Took Money from His Dad’s Account, How Liable am I? (Canada) Posted: 04 Mar 2018 08:38 AM PST Throwaway. FTP. My father-in-law has been in a home since The summer. My husband has been paying for his home and any other necessities needed with his father's debit card. Around November, my husband was given power of attorney to make paying for these things easier. It has come to light that my husband was using father-in-laws debit card for himself. I am so far unsure of the amount he used, or even the full extent of it. It wasn't anything tangible, so I never noticed. He has a separate banking account, so if he would go out and no money was used from our joint account, I thought he was using our personal one. I had no knowledge of his activities. So 2 questions: how much trouble is my husband in? Am I liable for any of this mess by being married to him? [link] [comments]  |
| Restraining Order causing work problems...NorCal Posted: 04 Mar 2018 10:11 AM PST About 2 years ago, I broke up with my now ex-girlfriend. To put it lightly, she was NOT stoked; I came home from work one night and she began verbally and physically assaulting me. When I threatened to call the police, she panicked, called the cops herself and said I had hit her. I spent about a week in jail while the DA was deciding whether or not to press charges; eventually they decided to not press charges and I was released from jail, again, with NO pending charges. A few weeks later I was served with a restraining order which was in effect for a year. My lawyer suggested, and I agreed, to a one year order, since the alternative was a 5 year order. Fast forward a little under a year later. I was at a training event at my local BLM station, getting ready for fire season. She happened to be at the fire station (she also works for BLM, in a different department). She called the police in an attempt to arrest my at my place of work. After talking to the police over the phone and explaining the situation, they agreed that they would not come and arrest me. Lucky me! However, my ex filed a motion to renew the restraining order, this time for a 5 year term. The hearing for this took place in July of 2018 (last summer). I was unable to attend due to being on a wildfire at the time (I had to sign up with a contract crew since I did not feel safe at my BLM job with her around). I sent multiple emails to the court explaining my situation but the court did not reschedule the hearing. After talking to a few local lawyers, it seems I really can't do much....yikes! My career at BLM is being retarded due to this restraining order, What, if any, options do I have? [link] [comments]  |
| Doctor ordered expensive tests after I said no because I couldn't afford them. Posted: 04 Mar 2018 01:06 PM PST IA I had a physical exam right before the end of 2017, which is covered as preventative by my insurance and I got it in a hurry before the exam benefit for the year expired, just to make sure I don't have some major problem I'm oblivious to. However, for non-preventative care I have a $3k deductible. I am currently struggling a lot financially so unless there's something I really, really need, I just can't afford it right now, so that is why I really needed to stick to the preventative stuff. I discussed that with the doctor first thing and she confirmed that everything about my check-up was preventative. However later in the appointment she said she believed that with one of my parents having diabetes I should be tested for diabetes. She said that I would have to pay for that, left the room and came back telling me exactly what it would cost. I asked if she believed it was a test that I needed now, or if I could come back and get it in a few months when I am back on my feet. She said that I need it now because even a few months living with undiagnosed diabetes could be severe, so I agreed and she took blood for the test. After taking blood she said she would also like to do a more generic panel of blood tests that she recommends for everyone getting a physical and that that would be about $600 additional. I asked if there were any specific concerns for that for me specifically and she said no, I seem healthy and as long as the blood sugar looks good she has no concerns, but she recommends the blood panel for everyone getting a physical. I said in that case, if we're not trying to diagnose a problem that she sees with me, then I will pass on that test because I cannot afford it. I paid the bill for the bloodsugar test in the office that day but now I got a bill for over $900 additional. I originally thought it had to be some kind of mistake so I called the office to get it fixed but they said that the doctor did order the tests and the results all looked good. They got a nurse to call me back who said she talked to the doctor, and that the doctor said she thought I seemed tired and depressed which can be a symptom of bigger problems. I asked to speak to the doctor directly, who basically repeated that and said that even though I didn't want to spend the money, she had to make the best judgment call for my health because that's the oath she took as a doctor. I understand that she believed she was doing what was best for my health, but I specifically said I did not want the test because I couldn't pay for it, which is where I believe she did the wrong thing. However after several phone calls back and forth and an in-person visit with the office manager they won't budge. I know this probably isn't medical malpractice since it's more of a billing issue but I am wondering if I have a leg to stand on, or how I would even go about this? I assume I can't sue in small claims to have an unpaid debt be overridden or anything. But I just can't afford it and don't believe I should be held responsible since I did say no to the test (and on that note that IS how that works legally, right? They shouldn't be doing other work I specifically said no to unless a judge says so or something?) [link] [comments]  |
| [IL] Rehoming/surrendering aggressive dog. Questions about liability. Posted: 04 Mar 2018 07:39 AM PST My husband and I have a 6 year old dog. She's had dog aggression issues for years and we've worked diligently with trainers to address the issues, but without much progress. The dog aggression was manageable, but she's recently shown signs of aggression towards babies. We have a 14 month old with developmental delays and another baby on the way, so after our dog nearly bit my 1 year old niece in the face, we made the crappy decision to re-home or surrender our dog. After months of searching, we finally found someone who is willing to take her. A vet tech from our vet's office has offered to hold on to our dog for a couple weeks until the rescue is ready to accommodate her on a long term basis. The rescue is preparing for her, but they believe the vet tech will fall in love with our dog and end up keeping her. My question is - what can/should we do to protect ourselves from legal liability once our dog is out of our possession? I'm concerned that no one is taking us seriously when we explain her dog/child aggression and they won't diligently supervise her and she'll end up hurting/killing a dog or, god forbid, a child. I know we could do a bill of sale, but the process seems convoluted in this situation since she'll be in temporary care with the vet tech for a couple of weeks before (maybe) going to the rescue. I'm also not even sure if a bill of sale would protect us or if we need something else. [link] [comments]  |
| [SC USA] Fired because of my accent? Posted: 03 Mar 2018 08:38 PM PST Hi there, Yesterday I was fired from my job at a golf course. I had been working there full-time for 3 years, and by all measures performing well in my role. I am originally from England (legal permanent resident in the USA), I lived there for 24 years. Yesterday, I was called into the managers office. It was a brief, formal conversation. He advised how there had been some recent complaints regarding my accent, apparently some of the 'older clientele were having a hard time understanding me. I should point out that the only time I ever have to really repeat myself is when ordering at the drive-thru speaker things. Sorry, not everyone grew up in Nowhere, Shitholeville. The manager had been in his role for about 6 months now, and has always had a weird attitude towards me. Wanting to talk about the Revolutionary War, constantly asking my opinion on it etc. Really strange guy. I feel like he encouraged this whole situation with these clients. He generally has a negative view towards immigration too, if the other staff are to be believed. Can I really be fired just because one group had a hard time understanding my accent?

| [California] Owner/CEO used cellphone camera to view into my bathroom stall Posted: 03 Mar 2018 08:30 PM PST I work for a small company with about 25 people in the office. Yesterday, while using the bathroom stall I see that the person in the stall next to me has placed their cellphone with the front camera on near the floor of their stall to look into my stall. On the screen I can very clearly see myself sitting on the toilet. They viewed me for about 15 seconds and I am unsure if they recorded video or took photos during this time. Going off of the shoes they were wearing, I am very certain this person was the CEO of our company. I am genuinely conflicted about what to do. Whether I report this incident or not, I don't see myself being able to work here much longer. This is my first professional job and I have only been working here 6 months. I really don't know how to handle this situation. [link] [comments]  |
| Items rented to venue for event was stolen during said event. (Ontario, Canada) Posted: 04 Mar 2018 06:39 AM PST I'm posting for a friend. They rented two items to a venue to be displayed at an event. During the event, these two items were stolen (value of at least 1400$ Cad). My friend doesn't have a written/signed contract, but has established verbal contract, with supporting email/messages, and some photos of the items at the event. They don't have money to turn to a lawyer first, so this is why I'm posting to have a clear direction. Any ideas on how my friend can proceed? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2018 12:11 PM PST Age - 43 (custodial parent) Children: 3. (15, 17, 18) Parenting agreement completed 2 years ago. Married: currently 19 years (filed almost 3 years ago). Reason for divorce: serial cheating/sex workers Location: Illinois My divorce has been dragged out for 2 years and 8 months. I've have to continually compel discovery, and have had 2 contempt of court hearings scheduled, which he was able to avoid by completing said requests only a day before hearings. My spouse is a high income earner (some years have exceeded $1,000,000. Based on bonuses. I have been a stay at home mom for 18 years. Going into this divorce I knew my spouse had 5 years worth of tax extensions. Typically with the deductions from rental properties we had gotten refunds every year. During this process my spouse has: -Drained and closed all joint accounts -Closed kids bank accounts where we were both custodians on the account. Opening new accounts for them with himself as the custodian. - Sold off over a million in stocks, purchased a brand new home cash and lives a very lavish lifestyle. - Transfered or cashed out Mutual Funds (I'm not sure which) I just know they aren't shown with our provider anymore). Through this process I have repeatedly asked my attorney to obtain temporary support, and she always has some excuse. The last time I asked her (back in October) she told me the judge doesn't want to make a temporary ruling since we are "so close". Close to what I have no clue, since my spouse hasn't complied with discovery. I have amassed 25,000. In credit card debt. Supporting the needs of our household and children. My cc is now maxed out and I have no income to pay the minimum payments. I'm literally selling things to feed my kids, and my spouse has an enormous income. This last contempt ruling to complete tax returns put me over the edge. Taxes were completed, with over $300,000. In capital gains taxes due to the IRS. My attorney told me I needed to sign the joint returns. It's at this point I sought a second opinion (3 days ago). I had to go out of town because my spouse conflicted out all the top rated lawyers in my town. This other attorney was flabbergasted that my attorney (who is supposed to be one of the best in town) hasn't sought support, didn't file a freeze for the stock account that I have been raising concern about for over 2 years, and that she is telling me to sign the joint returns with no escrow accounts or liability agreements. My spouse has withheld statements for the stock account years that amassed the large capital gains, but provided the years that followed. Here's a quick breakdown of our divorce/ financial picture timeline. 2011 - spouse had affair with stripper 2012 - I filed for divorce (with attorney i am currently using). Stbx promised to change, we entered counseling. He stopped filing taxes this year, unbeknownst to me. 2013 - I dismissed divorce and started taking classes part time to finish my degree. Apparently he amassed $175,000. In capital gains taxes from selling stocks. (I had no idea). Tax extensions filed. I had to point out to my attorney discovery docs for this years stock account are missing. Partner attorney suggested I ask accountant for them (even though they are supposed to be part of discovery). Spoke to Accountant, he only gets 1099. Lastly, I don't know if this is relevant, but 2 IRS agents knocked on my door this year looking for my spouse. They would not disclose the reason. Spouse told me it was a potential identity theft issue. 2014 - Amassed $125,000. In Capital gains from selling stocks. (I had no idea) Tax extensions filed. (I had to point out to my attorney discovery docs for this years stock account are missing. 2015 - I filed for divorce when I found a text between him and an escort haggling time and price for sex, ending with text "I'm here" 2016 - was dropped from classes for non payment and had to take a leave of absence. 2017 - This happened in 2017, but is about tax returns for 2012. I received a notice from the IRS that MY social security number may have been used to complete a tax return for this years taxes. Went straight to accountant (who we've used for 10 year) he said he had not completed 2012 taxes. (I still don't have copies of those and have no idea who complete them).3 days after receiving letter, a large refund check shows up at my house with joint names. Took check to my attorney, and ask if i could use the money. Joint account was still open with no funds at this time, so was instructed to sign "for deposit only". He closed account shortly after that. 2018 - divorce is still pending, I've received no support (he does pay mortgage and some utilities) what he doesn't cover goes on my credit card. He has cashed out stocks with combined market values of over a million dollars. I can no longer pay my attorney, because I'm getting no support, and my credit card is maxed out, so I am selling household items to buy groceries and pay for gas. I don't understand how any of this is legal, or why my highly rated attorney hasn't done more. After meeting with the second attorney this week I sent an email to my attorney's office stating she has by the close of business Monday to file for support. I also told her she needs to subpoena the missing records, and my conditions for signing joint returns will be an escrow account for said taxes, with the full amount deposited, and a liability release should more tax debt be discovered. I did not hear anything back regarding either email as of yet. Im expecting I will by Monday or Tuesday. 1) is my attorney being negligent towards my case? 2) is there a typical delay time frame if I choose to switch attorney's? 3) Will the court frown upon switching attorney's? 4) would knowing i sought a second opinion push her to prioritize my case, or just serve to anger her? 5) if i demand she seek temporary support (which is what I'd did) , is she legally obligated to do so? 6) can a judge decide he doesn't want to hear a support case and/or make a temporary ruling?

| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 04:39 PM PST (TX) Last year was the first time he sent me a K-1 for my taxes after having been married and taking care of my self completely for many years. I found out I owned a very small piece of the company. I didn't sign anything but I do remember around senior year of highschool him asking me if I wanted a part of it and finding out my mom or him taking money out of my bank account for it some years later. But I thought they were just hard up and being shitty. I was young and still wanted a relationship with my parents at that time. My father is pretty devious and has already shown he'll do anything even at the expense of further going into debt to screw over family members during the divorce. I really don't want to inherit this or his debts. What can I do to protect myself? [link] [comments]  |
| Black walnut tree "missing" from property (MO) Posted: 03 Mar 2018 04:25 PM PST Hi everbody, My parents are renting out a property to my uncle's cousin. She is months behind on her rent, and just finally got a job. Somehow, over the week, a black walnut tree from the property went "missing", and she's claiming that she has no idea where it is. However, she was just able to buy a new phone, pay off a couple of bills, and a few other things. We also know that it's not a tax refund check because she got all of $150 from that. I'm trying to get my parents to evict her due to lack of payment, and absolutely destroying the house. Is there anything that we can do about the tree? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2018 12:08 PM PST My husband (45) and I (38) were married for 17 years. I was a stay-at-home mom until last year. We have a son with Autism, who required care. My husband also traveled extensively for work and moved us to three states and two different countries. I had little to no opportunity to establish a career, so I volunteered. Now he makes $11,000/month and I make $900/month. He is trying to avoid paying any spousal support. Can he do this? How much should I ask for? We are in Oregon, a no-fault state. [link] [comments]  |
| Insane local customer crossing the line from disgruntled to dangerous (WV) Posted: 04 Mar 2018 12:17 PM PST So I've got a local customer who has taken "angry buyer" to a level I've never experienced. I've got a small business selling home decor and furniture locally, I also have an amazon store where I sell smaller items that are easy to ship. This customer is a patron of my local store and despite my many attempts to defuse the situation, I've failed. Here's what's going on. I've got a history with this person and it's one where you regret ever taking a job. She's had problems with every business she's dealt with and is one of those people who just can not be pleased. She'll find something to complain about, will be proven wrong, and will move on to something else, it's surreal. I've finished my work for her, delivered and have been paid for the product. She's going after me because I won't rebuild something for free that isn't faulty. The measurements she supplied don't look quite how she expected once the product was sitting in her house, so apparently it's my fault. Anyway I'm cool with her going off, she's free to rant all she wants, doesn't bother me. These buyers aren't uncommon and their feedback is always obviously insane to a rational customer. What's different this time is that the buyer is going after me personally. She's tracked down my personal email and Facebook page, knows where I live, and is trying to leverage her insane demands through every avenue possible. She's even making fraudulent purchases on my amazon store so she can leave negative feedback and then cancel the order. Amazon has my back and is aware of the issue, but it sucks to deal with. It's crossed a line from the typical disgruntled customer to a point where I'm starting to feel a little uneasy. The sad part is that she has a very nice husband and two kids that I don't really want to place in the crosshairs if further action is needed. He knows his wife is batshit crazy, we've gone over this in the past. Is there anything I can do to keep her insanity where it belongs and out of my personal life? Going after my business is one thing and she's got every right to throw whatever tantrum she wants. This has taken a different turn though and it needs to stop. I'm speaking to a lawyer tomorrow but I really don't want to drag her family through anything, they're nice people who just happen to live with the most insane person I've ever encountered.

| Evidence of online harassment to a minor Posted: 04 Mar 2018 07:41 AM PST I have evidence (screenshots) that a 15 year old girl has received unwanted pictures of an erect penis from a man in his 20s living in the USA. The girl is European. I am not from the USA either. I am from Argentina. How can I report this man for sexually harassing a minor? Can it be done anonymously? I believe this man to be dangerous, so I want to protect my identity from him. I know the harasser's Instagram account, which links to his music.ly and I think another social media account. Is this enough? He also made particularly sexist comments, which I also have evidence of. My harassed friend also says he attempted blackmail. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Grandmother-in-law threatening to sue for a pre-authorized payment, bank teller told her my name. Posted: 04 Mar 2018 12:34 PM PST My grandmother-in-law called my wife last night yelling at her stating she never wanted to see her again because I used her card for a payment of $1,041. Thing is, I didn't use her card. I have helped her foreign grandmother-in-law many times with payments. She has a difficult time using electronics. She sat down with me when she ordered a flight to the Philippines. My wife and I paid her overdue IRS taxes online for her while on the phone with her. Lastly, I helped her pay her credit card bill. This is the only time I had her bank information. I never memorized any information. It says so on my debit card as well that we didn't receive a pre-authorized payment of $1,041. We only have one debit card. Would this be an easy case to prove? My wife and I checked the identification number when we visited because she wanted to show evidence that a payment was made and it is near my wife and I's bank of america number but not all the way the same. On the bank statement it says: "BK OF AM CRD ACH DES:PAYBYPHONE ID:.........." and some numbers. When we looked it up on google, it took us to a scam website with someone saying their mother got scammed $6,000. Here is a link to that website: https://scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&p=280084 Honestly, the weirdest part is that she said the bank teller asked her if she knew a u/100Kay and that's when she got pissed. How do I get my name out of this? We tried talking to her nicely, but she's blocked us on everything, and is threatening to sue. She has a mental disorder so she becomes a bit irrational and starts shaking and screaming when spoken to. [link] [comments]  |

| [NJ] I was fired from my first day of a new job, have questions on what to do... Posted: 04 Mar 2018 05:04 AM PST I started a new job as a cashier at a big-chain pharmacy. I had previously worked for the company for a year from 2005 to 2006 in the same position. So I had some familiarity with it but I still hoped to get a refresher course on how to do the job. I had already told all this to the manager during the job interview. So I went in for my first day, expecting to be trained. Manager sent me straight to the cash register to start. Nobody gave me any instruction on how to do things. I tried to remind him that I had forgotten how to do things like logging in, but he rushed me toward the register anyhow. The register's system was completely different than what I used in 2005. I tried to log in but was unable to. I turned to one of my co-workers for help, she ignored me entirely. So I got a customer, and was still unable to log in, and the manager chewed me out for not getting into the system properly. Eventually he logged in for me then I spent a few hours doing simple tasks until I had to overwrite the price for something that was supposed to be on sale. I asked the manager how to do this and he blew up at me, screamed at me in front of all the customers, and fired me on the spot. I only worked five of the eight hours I was scheduled. I was really counting on this job because I desperately need money after having left my abusive parents' home to move into my own. I'm low on funds, and needed this job to help me pay the rent and utilities. Now I'm out of luck... My legal questions are, since I only worked one day, would I be eligible for any sort of unemployment benefits? I'm guessing no, though I want to make sure I'm not missing out on something. Another question is, would I be able to report the manager for this to corporate? I guess he technically didn't do anything wrong but it almost felt like the whole thing was a "set up", he seemed to just want to find an excuse to fire me for some reason, it was really odd. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
