    Still in california.

    I just want to make this post because i think it's good to make a point about how the world actually works and i don't like leaving things under the false impression that everything ended up being okay.

    The last five months of 2018 were the worst months of my life because of everything that happened with my brother and me being disowned by my family, my family's friends, and many other people who I thought I knew/respected.

    I ended up getting my documents back without too much trouble but after that everything has been a loss. My brother was not really punished in any substantive way. My parents have endeavored to protect him and he basically got something on the level of probation no jail time. He was fired but has been hired again with a much better job with a small private company because (I'm told) of a connection with a colleague. He (or my parents but I think him for various reasons) had various people call me up from unlisted numbers with vaguely threatening messages calling me a whore or just breathing on the phone until I had to get a new number. Rumors have been spread about me to the point where I don't feel comfortable even talking to nice people I knew because I'm afraid they'll judge me based off things they've seen that aren't true. I still am not going to be able to go back to college this semester because of personal and financial reasons and I basically have lost all my friends due to either personal insecurity, severe depression, or the rumors. I don't leave my house outside of work and I'm not taking care of myself in the way I should. Very grossly thin and pale (working on getting better though) and i've been having very terrible dreams about going to hell and burning alive forever which are driving me crazy. I'm not going to do anything dramatic but mentally I'm not where I need to be.

    I'm not trying to make this a pity party, and I acknowledge that I'm a big part of the reason this happened (in the sense that I'm not handling it in the most productive way), and I'm not asking for help (I have a shitty job that allows me to stay alive fine, just having trouble getting to school, which I think I'll be able to start again this summer) but I want to emphasize how fucked up the whole system is. This is the second time in my life I've been put in this position and my first time as an adult and someone trying to report it and either way I have been screwed, lied to, and watched the person who ruined my life get away and live happier ever after.

    Nobody cares about people who get violated and I understand why they don't come out and report. It's all rigged.

    My brother, his girlfriend and my parents are almost two week long Hawaiian cruise right now smiling and laughing and i'm in my apartment still unable to sleep right because of all this. Happy new year enjoy your cruise hahaha what a cool picture of water slide XD!

    Again, thanks to this community at the least. It was a big help in the early stages when I needed to get my thoughts together, and I really appreciated it. I hope everyone who was cool about it gets the type of life they deserve. Really thank you.

    Neighbor has my missing cat!

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 05:35 AM PST

    Hello guys, I'm in a weird spot right now.

    About a month and a half ago my cat got out while I was at work (landlord came to do some repairs and I think that's when she must have gotten out).

    My girl is an inside kitty and at the time was about six months old. She'd been spayed and microchipped at the vet's office just about a month before, so I was pretty hopeful she'd get back to me. I made fliers and knocked around the block. My girl is a siamese so she's pretty distinctive, but no one had seen her and no local shelters have had any like her turn up.

    Yesterday when I got home from work I saw a cat in the window across the street. It looked a lot like my cat, and while I didn't want to be nosey, I walked over and took a closer look at her. I'm positive it's my kitty-- she got real excited seeing me through the window, and she has the same little kink halfway through her tail. When my neighbor got home from work I caught her and asked her when she found it and let her know I'd lost my cat recently. I thought I'd knocked on her door and talked to her, and I've got posters up on the light pole on our street. She got really rude with me, and told me that her sister gave her the cat and insinuated that I was trying to steal it.

    I'll admit I got upset and I told her it was my cat and she needed to give it back, she told me to get off her property and threatened to call the cops on me. I did leave, and I don't really know what to do now. Can I call the cops on her to get my cat back? She's got a microchip so I can prove she's mine.

    Edit: I'm in Michigan

    My MIL kicked my wife and I out and kept everything we had. What options do we have to recover it? [TX]

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 07:42 AM PST

    We had been staying there since November, but when we told her we weren't going to move into her rent house, she decided we were no longer welcome there.

    An argument occurred and she locked us out of the house and called the police on us. The officer served as a civil standby and made my MIL give us back some of our stuff (my wife's DL has the house address on it).

    She still has our computer, PS4, bed, couch, all of my wife's clothes, jewelry, makeup, art supplies, and our dog, cat and bird.

    We've tried to find every legal avenue we could to get our stuff back. We tried to do a writ of reentry, but it's only for things like our SS cards and DL (we already have that).

    At this point we are planning on suing her in small claims court. Is there any other options we could consider?

    Woman claims my dad gave her permission to pull money out of his account while he was in the hospital, even though he didn't remember giving her consent. Then dad passed away and she's not forking over the money.

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 08:13 AM PST

    This is kind of a rollercoaster of a story, so stick with me here.

    At the beginning of November my father got terribly ill. He either got into a fight or fell while he was drunk (he was a pretty heavy drinker and talked a lot of shit while drunk so both are a reality) and waited a full week to get checked out at the hospital, at which time they discovered he had ruptured something, and from then on his health quickly started deteriorating. He came down with pneumonia and had a few different staph infections, on top of failing organs from years of drinking and smoking. He was in the ICU on a ventilator from the middle of November until around the middle of December, at which he started to recover. He ended up getting out of the hospital on December 26th and stayed with my brother until a massive heart attack took him away completely on the 29th.

    While he was out of the hospital, he checked his card balance and discovered that he only had around $60 on it. He was on disability and gets paid at the first of every month, and since he was in the hospital when he got paid for December he should've had the full amount in his account. He ends up calling the lady he was staying with (more on her later...) to discover the she had taken the money off his card. She claims my dad gave her permission to borrow $700 while he was in the hospital, however my dad had no recollection of this. Nonetheless she told him she'd pay him back on the first of the month and my dad being the easy going guy he was, he said that was fine.

    So, flash forward to the first of the year. My father passed away 3 days ago, we discovered that his cremation would cost about $1300 (he had no life insurance policy or plot for burial or anything), and the DHHR denied the request for assistance with the cremation because they claim I make around $10 more a month than the poverty line. I have no savings currently and no one else in my family is able to fork over that much money at once. My brother called the lady about the money she had "borrowed" to see if she had the $700 to put towards the cremation. At first she tries to say that if we can't pay for it, the funeral home would work with us in monthly payments. My brother explained even if we don't have the full amount, it'll be a lot easier/quicker to pay off if we have that $700 to put towards it. After trying to pass the blame on someone else living where he was staying, she asked to give her a few days and she'd have the money for us.

    So about this lady. She was a long time family friend who had been staying with my grandmother on weekends after she suffered a stroke a few months back. She is a retired nurse, so between my dad living there after he lost his place (unrelated) and her there on weekends I thought it was a perfect setup for her. However, shortly after my dad went into the hospital shady shit started happening. My grandma's "nephew" moved in ( I had never met him before). According to the lady, he was the one who supposedly needed the $700. He also apparently asked to use my dad's phone while he was in the hospital and according to my mom it looks like he was selling drugs (haven't been through the phone myself). My grandma's always had a few screws loose and it's only gotten worse with age so now I'm starting to worry if they're possibly using her for her money.

    Basically this is where everything's at ATM. My dad's body is stuck in a morgue awaiting payment to have his body cremated. This totally isn't fair to him or any of his other family. Is there anything I can do to get this money from her? We'd still owe around $500 but I should be able to pay that off in a few months with a payment plan. I'm already mentally and emotionally drained from the loss of my father and this situation is making things so much worse. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt but I'm just not feeling good about this at all.

    Edit- this happened in West Virginia. I live a few hours away in Kentucky.

    Doctor refusing to sign a death certificate

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 09:33 AM PST

    This is in Indiana.

    My mom died December 16th from cancer. I got everything set up with the funeral home and transferred her to start the cremation process on the 18th. They said it would take about two weeks or so due to the holidays, which was fine with me. Her celebration of life isn't until January 12th, so there was more than enough time.

    I found out two days ago that nothing has been done (and the funeral home didn't think to call and tell me) because the doctor from the hospital where she died refused to sign her death certificate. The funeral home said they don't know why, but they'll try to find out.

    I can't deal with any of her accounts, her actual cremation, or a plethora of other things without her death certificate. Any and all advice, please!

    Edit: Thank you all for your help and suggestions! After many phone calls and lots of holding, the palliative care doctor called me back and is going to settle everything. My mom was taken off hospice due to being admitted to the hospital, so he didn't have access to the system needed to sign since the other doctor refused. All should (hopefully) be smooth sailing from here!

    I got into a minor accident with an elderly driver and may be sued by her family due to emotional distress. What now?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 12:18 PM PST

    California, January 1st.

    Around 12 or 1 PM, I was waiting for a bus in front of me to finish fully loading its passengers and noticed a car backing out of a drive way, unsure whether or not it was safe to move out. As my car was behind a four-way intersection, I remained at a full stop and continued to wait for the bus to move while watching this woman back out way too far (she was off the driveway at this point) and getting a bit too close to my car. Obviously I honked at her multiple times to warn her as she kept backing slowly towards me, but she seemed to either ignored the sound or was focused on something else and hit my car.

    Anyway, we shared our information and phone numbers with each other with me later bringing my car to a body shop to get an evaluation. There was a tiny paint chip and, just to make visualization easier, there's a plastic area of my Hyundai 2017 Elantra that looks like a vent and one of the corner clips was popped out from impact.

    Later on I was informed by the son that because his mother was overly stressed about this situation, they would be suing me for emotional distress if I was to make my claim. I had already made my claim, is there anything I should worry about with this situation?

    EDIT Thanks all for your responses! I have dashcam footage of the incident and am waiting on my agent to call me so I can send her all the information/evidence I have on the accident. You guys are amazing.

    Dance studio closed and owner won’t let me retrieve any of my things

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 07:10 AM PST

    I've been working at a ballroom dance studio that closed over the holiday with no warning. I found this out when I went to check the holiday hours on their website and read "WE'RE CLOSED". I can train my clients outside of the studio BUT all my dance shoes (ballroom shoes are v expensive & I love mine) are still at the studio and I am unable to retrieve them. I messaged the owner asking wtf and when I could come get my things and he's completely ghosted me. Is there anything I can do? I can't perform without ballroom shoes and I can't afford the new ones I'd need! All I want is my stuff back.

    EDIT: I'm in MN

    Parents Passed Away and I Received $240k Life Insurance Policy - They Forgot To Add My Sibling As A Beneficiary

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 10:28 AM PST

    USA

    Hi,

    I posted this in Personal Finance, but I think this is more legal advice?

    My parents passed away and I just received the life insurance payouts amounting to $240k. My dad has just gotten a new job and put me down as the only beneficiary as he didn't have my minor (17) brother's SSN. I have custody of my brother.

    I have text conversations of this between my father weirdly enough so I can prove he meant to put my brother down. I don't want my brother to have to pay some sort of tax on the money - could this happen? If so, is there a way to mitigate his loss? I plan on splitting the money 50/50, but I won't be giving him access to the money until after he's about 25 (or earlier depending on maturity, just want him to gain interest on the money for retirement, etc. and not blow it all). Not sure how not giving him access to it works. I just want him to have a future and my parents were terrible with money and so is he. All we got was the life insurance as my parents had no assets like a house or car.

    I haven't cashed the checks yet. I don't even know what to do with them. It's awful really and feels like blood money. I've had it for over a month now and I haven't had the mental ability to cash them yet. I don't even know where to cash them. I tried reading through the windfall and other tabs, but everything is a bit over my head and overwhelming right now. I will continue to try and get through it all!

    TLDR; I want to invest the life insurance, but make sure my brother gets half (when he's financially mature enough) and him not to have to pay taxes other than on investment interests. Unsure how to go about all of this. Just don't want him to be taxed on the money since he wasn't put down as a beneficiary. I realize he's a minor and wasn't able to get the money directly anyways.

    Thank you!

    EDIT: thank you to everyone for your responses so far. I will read them all when I am off work! Thanks again.

    Adopted a dog, a family member doesn’t like her and is subtly threatening to let her loose.

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 08:54 AM PST

    Location is MA. I recently adopted a small dog of the kill list at a shelter. She's sweet and has no sign of aggressions, very passive. However, she's adjusting to being at home and without her siblings who she had been with since birth. Naturally, she whines and barks when I leave for about an hour. I have proof that she stops (I use Alexa to 'drop in') and she's crated. She will start back up if someone comes into the room or if people are home.

    Here is home: originally me, my mother, her girlfriend and my little sister. It's a 3 bedroom house that's quite small. Suddenly my aunt, her boyfriend, her daughter, my grandmother and her boyfriend's child is staying with us because their home is being renovated. They're all staying in the living room on an air mattress and the couches etc. it's so packed in there that we can't use the front door, has to be the back. They're not on the lease, and have been here for over 30 days, and will probably be here until summer as they wait for their house.

    I don't mind it as much, aside from the fact that they're kind of assholes.

    My mother, landlord who is our family friend and myself are okay with the dog being here until I move in a few. Landlord doesn't know about the rest of family being here and only approved dog over the phone. This morning I received a message from my aunt stating, "Hopefully no one will let her loose because they get annoyed of her whining." And with her personality I wouldn't doubt it to be a threat. And even if it wasn't one, I feel scared that she'll let my dog out.

    IF that were to happen, is there anything I can do? Is there anything I can say to make sure my dog is safe at home? She's crated in my room which doesn't have a lock. I was considering getting one originally but didn't want to buy a new one right before I move... but that looks like it may have to change.

    TLDR if someone in my house lets my new dog loose in the neighborhood, is there anything I can do about it?

    [Tx] missing dog of two years shows up at shelter.

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 11:07 AM PST

    They scanned his microchip and they emailed me. I went down there yesterday to pick up him but was told he was already claimed. I told then how when I just got an email and the microchip is in my Info.

    They're going to have a Supervisor call me back to discuss more with me

    I guess in confused how they can give the dog away to someone who doesn't match the chip info. They said they ID'd him as theirs. Perhaps they're the people who had him all this time.

    Isn't he still legally mine? This is very frustrating. What would my next steps be?

    [Michigan] My friend was just released from jail in a pay-to-stay state. What options do they have?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 04:29 AM PST

    Recently my friend was released from a local county jail. About 2 weeks later, they received quite a large bill for their court appointed stay ($1740 USD, 29 day stay) in costs. Are there any options available to them if this will be a hardship?

    This was my first time hearing about this policy so my friend and I were quite surprised when the bill arrived.

    Thanks for the assistance.

    Massage Envy won't honor a gift

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 08:16 AM PST

    I purchased 12 massages (about $740)back in 2017 from Massage Envy as a gift for my girlfriend. I specifically didn't purchase the monthly subscription because I knew she wouldn't consistently go every month. She maybe used half mainly because of poor customer service or massages. Now they are saying that the subscription expired so she can not use the remaining massages. I am absolutely certain that the sales person said that they don't expire. I don't think I have any receipts. Do I have any options?

    (MT) FedEx driver knows my dog's name, walked into my house.

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 01:43 PM PST

    My wife was home alone. The FedEx driver came up to the house, she's naked so she stays I the living room where the blinds are down. The FedEx driver walked into our house, and called my dog by name. My dog doesn't wear a collar, a stranger should have no way to know his name, and we didn't recognize him. What can I do? This is a huge breach of my privacy and trust in this company.

    Renting Home with Water Company Nightmare - they say we owe them $20,640.00. Help.

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 07:25 PM PST

    (Cross posted in the Houston subreddit as well to see if anyone else has had these issues, Location: Houston, TX )

    We are at our wits end with the water company. I'd thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else has had any similar issues and what you did about it?

    Basically, my room mate and I rent an older home in Westchase. We are both quite medically ill (I have pancreatic cancer and she has a number of other medical conditions). We are both in and out of the hospital, and are unable to work at this time, very low income, and we rent the house together to save expenses. The water bill is in my roommates name, not mine and not the landlords. We will literally both DIE without water in the medical state we are in right now. I am 100% not exaggerating.

    Last YEAR, our water bill that was normally $30.00 a month started to go up. We called the water company, and they told us we probably had a leak. We immediately called the landlord and told him that they think we have a leak, and he called a plumber out. He found no leak, despite looking and despite changing out older toilets and faucets and stuff, thinking that maybe if he replaced older things it would stop the leak. It did not. Water bill continued to go up, to the point of ridiculous proportions. We called the water company 2-3 times a MONTH for 1.5 YEARS begging them to send someone out because we could not pay these bills and landlord could not find leak and told us to call the water company back and inform them their meter was malfunctioning. Every month, Water Company kept telling us they'd send someone out, but never did, so we would call the next month. This went on for 1.5 YEARS. We started screaming bloody murder and they finally sent a guy out. He was here for five minutes and said "Oh, you have a leak, its not the meter" and left. We called the landlord back again, told him this news, and he got another plumber out. That one found a leak in the front yard NEAR the meter, but between the house and the meter. Landlord paid 10 grand to fix the leak - the dug up the front yard and replaced the entire pipe from the meter to the house. Our water bill went down to $30.00 a month again.

    We called the water company back and said, "Ok, we think it is fixed." They responded by saying, "Great, now you owe us $20,640.00 in back water usage." We told them we couldn't afford that, we are both very medically ill, we both are unemployed, we don't own the home, we have been calling the landlord and the water company for A YEAR AND A HALF and it took them that long to get out here and and we have absolutely NO WAY of paying 20K for water we did not use because the water company made us wait 1.5 years to get someone out here and the landlord blamed the water company. We literally had ZERO control over the situation and did everything we could to expedite things. They told us they didn't care. At the end of December, we received a notice in the mail stating that if we did not send a check for 20,640.00, they would shut off our water on January 10th, 2019. We have been frantically trying to figure out what to do because neither of us have anywhere near 20K. I don't even have 1K to my name and I have to pay rent tomorrow. We were calling attorneys and social agencies trying to get help, but everyone has been closed for the holidays.

    It is now 1/2/19, and I went to go use the bathroom and the water is already shut off today, eight days before the notice says it would be shut off. I am flipping out. I am so sick, I just got out of the hospital yesterday, and I need water for my medicine!!!

    Does anyone have any idea what to do? The landlord says its the water company's problem and the water company says its the landlords problem, and we are stuck in the middle and I just don't know what to do. And we have no water.

    Employee threatening legal action over perceived FMLA violation.

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 03:21 AM PST

    I work as a Team Leader in a fairly large call center in North Carolina. Let me just be clear that I am neither the employee threatening legal action nor the employer being threatened, but I have been acting as an intermediary between the two so I feel I need to know how careful I need to be there.

    There's an advisor at the call center that is a pretty good worker but due to having multiple health conditions will often miss a few days of work. Since she has FMLA she does not receive points ( Call center allows for 12 attendance points before recommending termination) for these days and the absence does not affect her score card like it would an advisor without FMLA.

    We're a 24 hour / 7 days a week call center so we have people working all times. Once every quarter we assign rankings based on the quarterly average of the score card and use that ranking for a schedule bid. The top performer can work any schedule they want and everyone else can choose from the various time bands based on ranking. This is a big deal since it may be the only way to get a shift during a time you would enjoy and is often the biggest reason people don't call out since attendance is about 20% of your score card.

    We have a newish operations manager who decided to shake things up and add a shrinkage 'bonus' to the bid. ( Shrinkage is any time we are paying an employee to work but they are not actually on the phones available to us such as being on extended breaks, coaching or paid leave. ) We did not know about this until after the bid already ended.

    The advisors talked rankings with each other and my advisor discovered her ranking was lower then some other advisors she had definitely out performed. She had been livid all week and I had no idea why her ranking was lower until my manager finally can back from vacation yesterday.

    Usually we just base it on Score cards with maybe another metric as a tie breaker as needed. So what this 'bonus' did was increase the average of any advisor that did not negatively effect shrinkage. Calling out on FMLA definitely does that so the advisor went from a number 4 position to 13.

    The advisor is claiming that it is illegal for time she used as FMLA to be used against her this way. My manager is claiming that it's fine. I don't understand enough about how FMLA works to really know what's going on and it's my job to bring advisor concerns to the OM so I would like to be more informed about if my advisor's rights actually were violated.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Edit: added definition of shrinkage

    [NYC] I was charged $3,500 dollars on power today

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 06:53 AM PST

    Today, I was looking through my email when I discovered that Con Edison will be shutting off power to my apartment. I've been on auto pay since I moved in mid June. My estimated bills were 25-35 dollars a month until about 2 billing cycles ago.

    That part is my fault for not ensuring that my auto payments were being deposited or not. The issue I have is they didn't get a meter reading for 4 or 5 months then adjusted the bill to match. That's fair, this has happened to me at my house in PA before.

    The issue is I live alone, I only use a ceiling fan and never really leave any lights on for extended period of time. I also go back to my house in PA on weekends/holidays. There's no way I'm using as much power as they say I am.

    I called my landlord to ask him what's happening and he wants me to meet with him next week to go to con Edison together to get this worked out. He even said that something wasn't right.

    If it's my fault I have no problem setting up a payment plan to get it resolved but something just doesn't seem right.

    What should I do?

    Client informed me he wasn't going to pay for work the day before the event

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 12:06 PM PST

    I make flyers for a living. A promoter had requested new info be added to already completed work and specified that I add it to the two main flyers. He had also requested about 20 additional simpler flyers for local hosts and birthdays.

    He got upset because I didn't add the new information to every additional flyer and had informed me that he is not going to honor the bill.

    Is there a way I can request him to remove the work for promotion and is there a legal route I can follow after the fact?

    Just got fired and boss owes me 15k

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 11:15 AM PST

    Very long story short is that my employer of three years is going through a difficult financial situation and he has let me go from my position because of that (I run a two person business). He currently owes me around $15,000 in reimbursements from expenses I floated over the past few months. I know a made a poor choice in lending the money but the situation was much more complicated than me just handing over money. Short term I will be applying for unemployment and looking for jobs but I am really looking for guidance on what I should do in the case of the reimbursement. I am not confident that he has the means to pay it back now but I also don't think he will make it a priority to pay it back at all. Thanks for the help

    Edit: I have email and text trails with an itemized reimbursement list that he has approved and agreed to paying prior to this situation.

    My grandma was scammed out of $100,000. What do I do now?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 04:14 AM PST

    My grandma, who currently lives in Florida, fell in love with a guy that promised her the world. He said he would fly to the united states to marry her but first he need to get his box with all of his worldly possessions out of Germany (You can see where this is going). He started to request small amounts of money that she would send priority mail to him. This went one for about a year and a half with the dollar amount ranging from $300 to $20,000. The large transactions went through bank of america, the medium amounts were cashiers check and the small amounts under $1,000 were cash. They sent her all sorts of very fake documents and another guy tried to gave her the wrong email to report the scam. Once she emailed the "united nations" they tried to get another $5,500 from her to "open her case" but she was smart and finally got a hold of me.

    My plan is to create a local police report but I live in Iowa and she lives in Florida. Do I need to fly to Florida to help her create a report? Or can I create one here locally without her? I was also going to file a report with the IC3 Internet crime complaint center. Is this the correct course of action? What else should I do?

    I know there is a 0% chance of getting the money back but I have the following info on the guy which most is more than likely fake.

    Name

    Email 3+

    Phone number 3+

    Photos - Turns out he used pictures of a politician that he found online

    fake contracts

    Priority mail address and names of where the money was sent

    Bank of america account and name where the large transactions went.

    I am concerned about my name appearing at this kind of websites. I'm not sure where these webpages get my information. I don't even have a facebook account. Is there anything I can do to make them delete my personal information? I'm in Texas, if that helps.

    If you're concerned about your privacy, remember to google yourself. You'll be impressed on how many accurate details these pages have from you.

    Edit: format.

    My sister is being locked out of her home by her ex boyfriend who is not on the lease.

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 06:15 AM PST

    My sister is being locked out of her home by her ex boyfriend who is not on the lease. We are in INDIANA and are currently pursuing a protective order. My question is how unlawful is it for him to keep her out her OWN HOME when he is not on the lease. I discussed this with a sheriff deputy at her county courthouse and he said that since he has lived there 4+ months it may be difficult to get him out. I was wondering how true this is and if anyone has any advice. Thank you.

    I have good documentation and visual evidence (witnesses, text messages, call logs) exhibiting his sporadic behaviour that is putting my sister in fear and a bad state in general. So the protective order is fairly justified as far as I can see.
