| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 04:01 AM PST This is a burner account for obvious reasons.... Backstory: I participated in a gangbang about 7 months ago in Vietnam. I met the couple through Tinder. I was browsing Asian teen videos, and I found 3 separate videos of me on Pornhub. None of the other participants were really shown. Mainly just me. The most popular one had over 21K views. These videos were put up without my consent, but they do not show my face directly. However, Anybody that knows me well would be able to tell it is me due a tattoo I have. Not only would I like these taken down, but considering he is probably making money off these videos, I want to be compensated accordingly. What are my options here? Does this fall under vietnamese law or American law since it's an American company? Thanks for your help. [link] [comments]  |
| Update. Chiropractor tried to charge my insurance for a free visit. Posted: 05 Feb 2019 09:45 AM PST So about a week ago I posted this and I thought I might as well give an update. So, after that post things got, interesting to say the least. A lawyer from my insurance company got into contact with me and asked me a bunch of question and told me a little of what's going on. Turns out that "doctor" Dave was already being investigated by my insurance company for fraudulent charges and that I wasn't the only one who went in for a "free" consultation and adjustment and been charged. The lawyer told me that I probably won't need to do anything else as they were handling it and to stay as far away from the "doctor" as possible. If this was the end of it I wouldn't have even come back. Here I am so something happened. And boy, was it satisfying. I submitted complaints to the board that licenses chiropractors and physical therapists after my last post. along with a harsh email to the company the PT was working for. Well, this last Friday I got a email from said company apologizing. They said that the PT who refereed me to him is "no longer with us" and "Will not be practicing in the near future". Along with this, on "doctor" Dave's Facebook page they released a statement saying that they will not be taking new patients for the foreseeable future So, it seems that, for the time being, these two won't be pulled the shit they had with me. A win-win. Thanks for the advice on the original post and calming me down from my "salt the earth" mentality. I really needed it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2019 02:31 PM PST Hi folks I'm a 21 year old college student. My parents separated soon after I was born, and my my mom raised me alone until I was 15. She met my step dad, a great guy, and they soon got married and had a daughter, my little sister Eliza. She's grown up with me, and I often baby sit for her for short periods of time. I live with a roomate in apartments owned by the College Late last week, my stepfather's mom died. He's Polish, so my mom and he left for Poland leaving me to babysit Eliza for a week. Yesterday, I got a call from my stepfather's sister saying that both of them had died in a car accident in Poland. I've tried frantically to call them, stupidly hoping that somebody was pranking me, but it's starting to sink in that this is real I have no idea what to do. My biological dad was never really in my life, and my grandparents are dead. My mom was an only child, and my stepfather has no relatives in the USA that I am aware of. I'm studying Political science (and was hoping to apply to law school one day), but I have no job and no salary. Eliza has no family other than me that I can turn to. I'm not ready to take of a child, but I also refuse to abandon her to forster care or adoption-she's my little sister, and I've been around her since my mom was pregnant and am very fond of her. But we also look very different- my dad is Jamaican, while my mom and stepdad are white. So I'm a tall, mixed race dude while Eliza is a small blonde girl (I bring this up because I was once accused of kidnapping her while grocery shopping, and that didn't get sorted out till my mom showed up). So what do I do? I'm barely keeping it together from an emotional perspective, and I haven't even told Eliza yet. It just hit me that we're now alone, and I now have to step up to the plate and take care of Eliza. I have no idea if my mom had a will, or a lawyer, or what to do next Edit: Thank you for all you advice. I apologize if I do not respond to your post- got a lot to deal with right now Edit 2: thank you to everybody who has offered to send me financial support. However, I am currently ok, and my mom's friends, and my college friends have kindly offered to help me out, and I also have a little bit saved up. But I greatly appreciate your generosity [link] [comments]  |
| Reported a colleague for sexual harassment in the workplace, now I’m being fired Posted: 05 Feb 2019 07:15 AM PST I work for a small (9-15 FT staff) nonprofit in Denver and overt sexism has been an issue in my workplace for the past 4 years. I've never reported anything before because the organization's executives like to handle things "one-on-one" and off the record. A colleague who's newer to the team said something that made both myself and my direct report extremely uncomfortable, so I informed his supervisor (who is also one of my supervisors). The supervisor instructed me to bring my concern directly to the individual and it didn't go well.. the accused blew up. I then reached out to our administrator to file a formal complaint and go on with my work. The next week, upon my return from a short work trip, I was confronted by my supervisors and instructed to sign a "counseling record" indicating I had created a hostile work environment. Upon my asking for clarification about statements in the "counseling record," I was told that my "response to the write up had been noted in my file." A week has passed and my boss has refused to talk to me, indicating "it is not advantageous for us to speak prior to our next formal meeting." Through the grapevine I've been told he plans on firing me today. Does this sound like it could potentially meet the definition of retaliation for reporting sexual harassment? I have had zero performance issues in my 4 years with the organization. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 05:32 AM PST So my wife and I divorced 8 months ago. In the divorce paperwork she got to keep the vehicle we got when together and both signed the loan on. Its also spelled out that she is responsible for it. She makes a lot more than I do so no one is paying anyone alimony. Last week, I got a letter from a bill collector warning me about pending repossession. I called them and they were rude and hostile. I assume because its their job to collect a debt but they also said, that divorce doesn't matter and it will effect my credit if I dont pay them. Now, I know it will effect my credit because I am a cosigner on the loan and it hasn't been an issue until now, but my question is, can I get myself removed from the loan and the loan removed from my credit report due to the divorce and that the judge made her responsible for the payments? Or will this turn into a civil matter if she doesn't pay and I will have to go after her for damages since she didn't follow through on the divorce proceedings? If, in the worst case scenario, I am legally responsible for the loan still, how can I legally get the car if I start making payments on it since she got it in the divorce? From the paperwork sent by the collection company, it looks like she is coming up on 4 months behind if that matters at all. Any advice is helpful. [link] [comments]  |
| PSEG wants to dig a hole in my parents' house and not repair it. Posted: 05 Feb 2019 08:21 AM PST We're in New Jersey. The other night the fire dept stopped in front of my parents' house. They asked if they smelled gas and they said no. The cure department was more concerned with my parents' neighbor's house. The fire department left and PSEG came. They inspected the block and left without saying anything to my parents. When asked, the representative said they would be coming back this week to dig up the street... PSEG came back today. My dad was home and they told him that it's their main line but they will have to dig a hole in the house to get to it! Afterwards they will fix the outside of the house but not the inside. My mom called their homeowners insurance and they won't cover it because it's not something that happened to their house...it's being done intentionally. Is there anything my parents can do? PSEG plans to begin next week. In short, public utility company needs to dig a hole in my parents' house to access a pipe, but will not repair the hole afterwards. *Edit: I asked my mom. It's the main line. The house was built in 1913. She doesn't know when the line was added. *Edit: My mom will be checking the deed when she gets home from work. Will update then. [link] [comments]  |
| Bank took money from one account to pay off overdraft on another Posted: 05 Feb 2019 04:49 AM PST We opened bank accounts for both our daughters when they turned 16. Since they were minors, my husband had to be a co-owner (for want of a better word) on each account. The oldest DD is now almost 21 and the youngest is 18.5. The oldest is excellent with her money: works 3 jobs, very responsible. The youngest has gone off the rails and has gone overdrawn by $500, which she refuses to pay back and has essentially abandoned the account. After 3 months of no repayments from her, the bank had taken the money from her sister's account to repay it. While we absolutely understand the bank wants its money back (and rightly so, that is not under dispute), we are shocked that they took it from an innocent party without warning. The only thing the two accounts have in common is that my husband is named on them. Our oldest requested we stay on her account while she's in university so we can easily deposit money in there. For the youngest, we just never got around to it. Is this legal? We have a credit card with the same bank (no checking account though), and if I'd seen a charge on there to pay it off, although I would have been frustrated, that would have made more sense. We're trying to speak to CS at the bank, but would App some opinions here. Yes, we know the youngest is responsible and ultimately she will pay this money back.... that's not even under question. I'm more interested in whether the bank has acted legally? TL/DR: bank took money from one sister's account to pay overdraft on the other sister's account w/o warning. Accounts not linked other than their dad is named on both accounts. Both DDs are over 18 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 11:19 AM PST Is it legal to deny entry to these people to my mother's home? She is not refusing to let them have the few items, just not at this second as it has been less than 24 hours since his passing. Not to mention my mother is out of state currently and I have changed the locks at her request due to the ex-wife stating she was and will be entering the home today. This woman and her kids, who had very little to do with my uncle, live four hours away. My mother was the one who took him in when he was having kidney failure. Note: There was no will left behind [link] [comments]  |
| Friends roommate was evicted and they took my friends belongings not his roommates. Posted: 05 Feb 2019 09:46 AM PST Pretty much all there is to say he heard his roommate was getting evicted but then he got home and all his stuff was gone. He lives in a four bedroom apartment and his apartment company is trying to say it's his fault because apparently "he was sleeping in the wrong room." But now they can't find anything of his belongings that they removed. This is in Illinois btw. [link] [comments]  |
| How can I stop my mother from stalking me and attempting to ruin my life Posted: 05 Feb 2019 08:09 AM PST This is a long story but I'll try to make it short. Location:MO My mother has been an awful person for as long as I can remember. After not having contact with her for years I missed my family and thought she'd changed for the better so I invited her to my home and back into my life. Biggest mistake I've probably ever made. She used to be addicted to drugs, and as far as I know, had been clean for years but recently she's gotten back into it and its gotten really bad. I was warned by my sister who lives with her and takes care of her that spammy credit type mail was arriving in my name at her home and I've never lived there. Checked my credit report and found fraudulent inquiries and an account opened. Obviously I disputed it and I know I can go to the police to file a report. I already have fraud alert and credit freeze in place but I don't think it's enough to stop her from accessing my credit report. I don't have much of any credit history so I'm worried that she could easily answer the security questions and get access to my credit report and find any new addresses that I move to. Shes already attempted to have my sister's car towed and get her falsely arrested for abuse but the police had been called to their house so many times, they obviously didn't believe her (they wont arrest her for possession when she's high, they just destroy the drugs and take her to the hospital to detox, then shes released and goes right back to it). I don't want her to be able to do that to me too. Is there anything I can do to keep her from being able to access this information? The most important part for me is how I can protect myself from her in the future. She has impeccable memory when it comes to sensitive information so no matter how long shes in jail I doubt she will ever forget my information so I just need to stop her from being able to use it. My sister that lives with her has since moved out and is working on a restraining order but those wont last forever so I'd rather just be able to disappear and never talk to that woman again. Any advice is appreciated. Edit: I want to add that if she knew where I worked she would likely try to call and make trouble/get me fired because I wont answer her calls and shes threatened to call CPS on my other sister who lives on the east coast and also doesn't talk to her. So it's a real concern for the amount of info she can get on us. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 01:10 PM PST I'm back for some unrelated bullshit! My payroll department contacted me last week letting me know that I had been payed 100 hours of overtime, accidentally, on my last paycheck. I laughed, told them they were mistaken, and that I would get them my paystub as soon as it arrived. No surprises, no 100 hours of overtime. Check my bank statement, same deal. I called them back today, let them know it must have been a system error and that both my paycheck and bank statements confirm I was not overpaid at all, and in fact was underpaid for several out-of-office hours that I *had* submitted the proper paperwork for. They are telling me that I am wrong, their records indicate I was overpaid, and they will not be paying me for the next FOUR pay periods, but expect me to continue working. They will not accept my bank statements, or look over my paystub. It's been put to me that if I quit or refuse to accept $0 paychecks, I will be terminated and sued for the money "I owe." Obviously I don't plan to continue working here, but is there any way I can be compensated for those 4 out of office hours and assure I am not sued? Thanks and bless. Edit: My computer is messed up so it *just* added my first comment -__-' got a call from a very panicky payroll/HR director who didn't sound like they knew what was going on. Something is funky and I am expecting a call within the hour to explain to me just exactly what's going on here. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 07:23 AM PST Hello, I am a 23 year old male, born in Czech Republic, to Ukrainian parents in 1996. I have a Czech birth certificate and have never been to Ukraine. There are 7 members of my family, 4 of my siblings ( I am the youngest, and only one born in Czech Republic) have Czech citizenships, while me and my parents have received nothing but negatives. Same method of getting papers is impossible for me and my parents because the embassy and Ukraine in general does not acknowledge us. Unable to work or study for the last 6 years. No criminal record. Today I received my 5th and possibly last negative decision about my asylum case. Now I am facing deportation in 15 days to Ukraine. We have written documents from Ukrainian embassy from 2018, confirming that me and my parents are not Ukrainian citizens, and they cannot confirm our identity. It is also written in the same way in my negative decision with a direct quote: "This document proves Ukraine refuses to accept him. Above named in a case of return to country will be put in severe and serious danger, where at least till proving identity, which in Ukraine will not happen, will be put in prison as a Stateless person and will not receive any legal, social and health care, which to a person with a chronic disease would cause serious health problems." Our lawyer is getting an appeal ready for the court here, but he told us that not once has an appeal worked, in this type of decision. The case of my family has been going on for a very long time and a lot of it doesn't make sense, the more you learn about it, and you read the official replies from the government contradicting themselves, the more confused you get and you will simply not believe its possible. We have gone through many lawyers and many times they simply gave up after seeing what happens. One of the good examples is that I have a document saying we have never applied for a citizenship in Czech Republic, by the Czech government, but I have also attached two documents which prove that we did, and were declined on. Another thing they did was in 2013, after we got a negative and were given papers to leave the country of Czech Republic, we went to Norway and applied for asylum. Norway has told us before that if we ever get there, we would receive help. It was going great, for the first time ever someone actually looked at our case, but after 9 months in the country and being very close to finally getting what we always dreamed of, we were deported. Czech Republic requested our return in order to take care of our case themselves. We were deported to Ruzyne an airport in Prague, Czech Republic, police there was not notified, and we were left there without any documents. Airport police noticed and took us into a holding cell, strip searching my family (I was under aged) treating us like we were never treated before. They came to the conclusion that we should be deported back to Ukraine and were about to do it, only thing stopping them was me talking for the first time after 3 days, to one of the senior officers. He noticed I was fluent in the language, he also knew which part of the country I was from because of my accent, he told me I remind him of his son, and decided that we are not a threat and don't have to be deported. One man stood between us being deported and possibly never being seen and heard of again. I am looking for someone like that man, someone who either knows what to do, has any type of idea, or knows someone who might. There is nothing I will not do, nothing I will not try, I simply don't want to end up in a hole somewhere for the rest of my life, without getting the chance have a life in the first place. My case has been going on for 23 years, with many things that happened in that time, if you have any questions go ahead. I also have no issues with telling you my real name etc and am fine with providing the documents that I have. PS: I am sorry for any grammar errors, English isn't my main language.

| Landlord does nothing about dog urinating off of third floor deck Posted: 05 Feb 2019 11:24 AM PST My mother and father are living in an apartment building in MA. It's dog friendly, which is a major reason they chose this location to move in. They own an adult male pit-bull, so finding a place to rent can be troublesome. They live on the first floor. They have consistently been having issues with the upstairs neighbors. These neighbors also have an adult pit-bull, same age as my parents dog. These neighbors let their dog urinate on their deck, which in turn trickles down to my parents deck (as well as the second floor deck). As it turns out, the 3rd floor neighbor is the son of the 2nd floor neighbor. The 2nd floor neighbor lets her multiple dogs urinate and dedicate on the deck on the opposite side of the house. My parents are completely disgusted by this. Not only do these neighbors not care for their dogs properly by taking them out for walks or into the yard, but they have to worry about dog urine falling onto their deck constantly! My parents have contacted the landlord multiple times about this issue, and things change for a few days then go back to how it was before. They have asked in person to their upstairs neighbors to please stop, and their excuse it that their dog is too old to go up and down the stairs and "has bladder issues". It has caused some resentment between my parents and both sets of neighbors. Also turns out that the landlord is/was married to the second floor neighbor and is the stepdad to the third floor neighbor. This week, after making another complaint to the landlord, my parents were told that they should start looking for a new place to live because "things weren't working out". What are my parents supposed to do in this case? They have money to find another place but it's difficult with a dog in this area, especially with a pit bull. It's also just disgusting to have tenants in the building like this, where they can't even use their deck. Can they have anything done legally? Maybe a check in with the health department?

| Posted: 04 Feb 2019 08:19 PM PST This starts just before Thanksgiving of last year. Company I worked for was purchased by a larger company, we were told no worries, the usual. I've been through this before, updated my resume and began sending it out. Sure enough new management comes in, they begin cleaning house. I was let go, already had interviews done and stuff lined up and managed to land a new job in just a couple of weeks. Here's where the fun begins, I ran all social media. Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/Reddit etc. All the accounts were logged into a company phone that I turned back into the company on my final day. During the complete confusion and them firing about 95% of the company because they were simply after the name and brand within a 4 day period obviously no one really gave a damn. I turned in my laptop, 2 phones and hotspot to IT however IT was also in the process of being taken over by the other companies IT so it was pretty much "yep yep, here's a paper saying what you turned in" and they tossed them in a box. I never had the passwords or associated emails to the accounts. I was given the phone by IT that had everything already logged in, this phone was only a Twitter/FB/Instagram/Reddit phone. It had nothing else installed on it and was only used for social media. Well fast forward to a week ago and I got a call from new companies HR asking me for the passwords to the social media accounts. I told them I don't have them, never had them talk to IT and to never call me again. I was a bit salty from being fired and didn't appreciate their demanding tone that was bordering on half yelling at me. Sorry but if you don't pay my bills I don't have to listen to you was my thoughts. Well the next day I received another call from "____ Director of HR and also on the line is ____ from legal" talking extremely nicely and was obviously being recorded because our last call was not very nice. As soon as I heard them say legal was also on the line I said "I have nothing to say to you, your company or anyone working for your company. Do not call me again" and hung up. This deterred them for a day but then I received a call from the COO of the company apologizing for being let go in the way that I was and that HR and legal may not have been as pleasant with me as they should have been. He made small talk asking if I landed on my feet, if he can write me a recommendation letter etc. Pretty much just sucking up to me because they need the social media passwords, passwords I do not have and have never had. I explained all this to him, that he needs to find out that info with IT or someone else who had the info because all I received was a phone that already had all the accounts logged in. He asks who my supervisor/manager was and it was no one, I was a one person "department" that operated as a go between with customer service about 99% of the time to handle upset people tagging us on social media. Apparently this is not believed in anyway because it's "a bit of a stretch that someone running a department doesn't have the passwords". He then informs me that if the company does not receive the accounts in question that they will be forced to go through legal channels to obtain them. I tell him "I don't have them, if you weren't such blood sucking fucking morons and firing everyone just to take a name and begin selling an inferior product that built a reputation with their name I would probably care enough to try and help you." I then again tell him to never contact me again and in words I won't type here again told him what I thought of their company. Figured that was that, it cannot be that hard for them to track down someone who actually knows the passwords to the accounts. Or if they were half competent reset the passwords because I'm 99% sure the accounts used a business email or even reaching out to the social media companies in question. Whatever figured it was done and felt better about myself because I told them off, and even managed to track down the paper IT gave me stating what I turned into them in my car. A few days go by and I mostly forget about it all when this time legal calls me and informs me they are going to begin drafting a lawsuit against me if I do not immediately turn over company property, accounts, email accounts etc. I repeat the same thing I've said 3-4 times now that I don't have the accounts, was never given the accounts and the phone with the accounts was turned into IT the day I left. This doesn't satisfy him and he tells me to keep my eyes open for a lawsuit and a Judge can decide now. So if I do receive a lawsuit or letter in the mail do I just need to show up with the IT receipt of them receiving the company phones back? Can I even be sued for this? How's it my fault that a company coming in with hatchet men and not making sure they don't lose stuff my fault? TL:DR New company fires everyone, loses social media accounts I never had the passwords to and they want to sue me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2019 01:47 PM PST ETA: thank you all for the advice, I feel much better about contacting the police if this continues. I know the post is locked now, but just a few clarifications for those nice enough to comment...
I recently bought a house, as the title says. The property that I purchased is on just about three acres, the house sits up on a hill at the far end and then I have a small wooded area that slopes down to an open spot with a small pond. I put a lot of work into cleaning up the area around the pond and making it presentable again, as unfortunately the couple I bought from had fallen behind on maintenance. I added a fire pit and seating area, a sandy "beach" on one side of the water, and some general landscaping including additional trees and a hedge along the property line. As I worked on this project over the summer, my neighbors who border the lot line by the pond kept popping over to chat and to tell me how nice it was I was making the area useable again and how they appreciate my efforts, so on and so forth. I'm not the biggest fan of people just walking into my yard as my dog (a German Shepherd) can be a little protective of me, but I figured they were just being friendly and left it at that. Unfortunately, I found out their enthusiasm wasn't just a result of friendliness and a "welcome to the neighborhood" attitude. Within a few weeks of getting the area presentable again, I stepped out on my porch to see that not only were my neighbors hosting a barbecue, but their party was extending onto my property and around my pond. Not just a wayward guest a little over the lot line, but literally people sitting on my benches and throwing food scraps in the water for the couple of ducks that hang out there. I walked down with my dog and explained to these folks that that the Shepherd's Invisible Fence runs just inside the lot line, pointed out where the lot line was, and asked if they wouldn't mind heading back outside of it so I could leave my dog out for awhile. One person commented "it's okay, the dog doesn't bother us" and another said something like "oh, I thought we were going to get the fire going" but they did leave the property. When I saw my neighbors out the next day I walked over and asked if they could please let their guests know where the property line is. I even offered to post a sign (like I have facing the street) alerting to the fact that there's a dog on the property behind an invisible fence. They were perfectly friendly about me confronting them, but didn't apologize or seem like they were truly acknowledging my concerns so much as they were just nodding along. A week or so later, I let my dog out and he immediately races down the hill. I see kids down at the pond, so I call my dog and go down there and ask the kids to please leave my property (I was nice, I'm not THAT neighbor). They weren't rude, but responded with "oh, it's okay, Grandma knows we're here" and "we have permission to play here, it's okay." I explained that I had just purchased the house (assuming that they meant the previous owners were the ones who had given them permission) and that I really couldn't have people just walking in and out of my yard, if they wanted to feed the ducks they would have to come to the front first and ask. They seemed a little confused, but wandered back through the hedge to my neighbors'. This time I called the neighbors. I reiterated my position. They said my dog likes their grandkids (my dog loves kids, that part is true), the kids throw him snacks so they're comfortable with them being around the dog. I'm like, "what am I even hearing here??" I realized I was going to have to get downright blunt, and said that the brass tacks of the matter is simply that I do not want people on my property without my permission. Period. They tried to tell me that in the past my pond was a neighborhood "common area" to which I replied that was in the past - moving forward I wanted to keep my lot private. Unfortunately, the intrusions happening. Even though I don't see people out there when I'm home, I see footprints in the sand, and now in the snow. Not just occasionally, pretty much every time I leave. Guys, I came back from a weekend trip and there was a hole chopped in my ice and a kids style lawn chair out there like someone was flippin' ice fishing. I've put up an actual, physical fence and am having security cameras put up at the end of the week. When I engage the neighbors about their friends and family they just shrug it off as if they're not sure who I'm talking about and as if they can't be expected to police other people. I don't want to be that person who's running to the police complaining about what adults really should be able to handle on their own, but this is getting to that point. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can do before I have to cave and start bugging the police to handle my business?? TLDR; my [F28] neighbors [40s or 50s maybe?] keep allowing friends and family access to my yard and pond. Apparently, the old owners let it be used as a community park of sorts. I really don't want people in my yard without my permission, but I also don't want to be that person who has to call the police to solve her problems (those guys have enough on their plate without neighborhood squabbles). Any ideas as to what I can say or do to solve the situation before law enforcement has to be called in? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 10:35 AM PST We bought a house in PA last fall consisting of seven parcels at about 3.25 acres. One parcel is 100yds down the road from the contiguous 6. Previous homeowner still owns an acre adjacent to that orphan parcel, and had believed that he still owned said parcel until tax notices went out this year. This is when he realized that when they listed all the parcels for sale, the orphan parcel was included. We now are the rightful owners. The deed was recorded and transferred and he signed off on all seven parcels. The main parcel with our house on it was sold to us for 3xx,xxx and the other 6 parcels were logged as $1 each, for ease of recording titles and paperwork and taxes and whatnot. Previous owner now contacts us, and claims that the settlement company has told him that it was a mistake and that we need to transfer the parcel back to him as he didn't intend to sell it. Our realtor is no longer allowed to talk about it. Their realtor is a complete idiot, and claims that it isn't her liability. Said parcel was listed on the appraisal, and on the deed transfer, we paid for it and now own it. Being part of the appraisal value, it counts towards our agreed purchase price. Short of retaining a lawyer, is there any recourse, or do we wait for him to sue? Can he sue us or does he have to sue his realtor for screwing up? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 09:21 AM PST This is in PA. During the frigid temperatures brought on by the polar vortex, a pipe in our kitchen burst and caused some water damage to our floors. My landlord is claiming that we are responsible because our thermostat in that room wasn't on. Our thermostats are old and Finicky, and we haven't been able to regulate the temperature anywhere in the house because even when they are "on" their cycles fluctuate, we have tried to set it so that they are always on but there have been several occasions where we woke up and they had turned off or gone into a sleep mode and the temperature dips at which point we have to reset them to get the heat back working. Further everything in the apartment is at least 70 years old and deteriorating, including the windows in that particular room which provide no insulation. There is also nothing in my lease agreement which mandates we maintain a specific temperature. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Ex plans to file restraining order to get me out of our apartment. Posted: 05 Feb 2019 11:01 AM PST Hello, I'm 26 and work retail in Southern California, and I met my now ex gf(25) in college and moved in 4 months ago. Our relationship has definitely been on the decline for a long time but I've never hit, or harmed her throughout that time. We would get into occasional screaming matches but I can count on my hand how many times that occurred in our relationship. We got into an argument last night and we ended up breaking up. During that she went into lengthy detail about her cheating on me and I broke down sobbing. I apologized for ruining things and hugged her and she screamed at me and left, I tried to calm her down in the parking lot and she drove off. I was and still am heartbroken. Fast forward to this morning, she texts me that I need to move out or she'll file a restraining order at the end of the month. I still have 8 months left on the lease we share, and we live in SoCal; so finding a place this soon will be next to impossible. I agreed to move out but I explained it may be difficult for me to find a place that soon. She ignored me. This whole event really freaked me out so I blocked her on all social media and am actively avoiding her whenever she's around. I admittedly look pretty intimidating (I workout a lot and have many tattoos) and she texted me that she's fearful of me which I assume will be used against me if this goes to court. But I don't have any criminal record and I've never been violent with anyone in my life. Is there anything I can do to avoid a restraining order being put over my head? I'd prefer not to have my life ruined and I'd prefer not to move out but I will if it would ease tension. I'd love some advice [link] [comments]  |
| Homeowner's association awarding no bid contracts to businesses owned by board members Posted: 05 Feb 2019 07:45 AM PST My dad has a condo Middlesex County, NJ. He bought it a few years ago and over time has become suspicious that the owner's association is wasting a lot of money. One example is they had a special assessment for snow removal, which my dad thought was far above the market rate for the work done. He went to meetings and asked to see bids, and the board members refused to show anything. They refuse to show any information that could be used to audit the money paid into the association. The only thing they will show is an annual budget, but no information to audit anything against the budget. The association has a sort of regular meeting where one member of the board will share a limited amount of information with anyone who wants to join. My father has complained at these meetings about not being able to see any substantial info. The president of the association tried to intimidate my father about this. He raised his voice and said he knew everything that happened at these meetings. My father said please don't raise your voice and of course you know what happens, one of your board members is there, it's not a secret meeting. Then the kicker, my dad found out that the president of the association owns the landscaping company that did the snow removal. I doubt any public bids were ever sought. What can my dad do, short of trying to get folks like this voted out? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 07:13 AM PST Edit: Forgot to add that we are located in Southeastern PA. My girlfriend and I live in an apartment complex whose buildings are 3 stories tall. Our downstairs neighbor has called the police on us several times since December for noise complaints... Three of those times we were actually asleep in bed (the apartment was dead quiet) and were woken up to police knocking on our door. One day after work, her father followed me up the stairs as I returned home from getting food and informed us that our neighbor felt like we were harrassing her with the noise... We haven't done anything but live our lives. We don't often have people over and typically are out of the apartment with friends most weekends. We made it a point to speak politely with this neighbor about the issue and even gave her our phone numbers and asked her to please tell us if things are getting too loud. She texted us once on Friday night at 8:15pm (quiet hours are at 9:00pm) and we tried our best to make sure to be more quiet, even though we only had one friend over and weren't being particularly loud to begin with. The next night, my girlfriend and I spent the night in cleaning and decorating for Valentine's Day. My girlfriend went to sleep around 9:30pm and at 10:00pm, there was a knock on the door. Sure enough, it was the police informing us of another noise complaint. My girlfriend was asleep and I was sitting on the couch watching Netflix. It has gotten to the point where I'm uncomfortable and legitimately paranoid in my own home. I get genuinely nervous if i drop something or close a cabinet too loudly that the cops will show up. I have even changed the gait of my walk to make my footsteps more quiet. But I refuse to live like this anymore, as it hasn't improved the situation at all. The last time they came, the cop stated that he sat outside our apartment for 15 minutes and heard nothing, but that if they were called back again, we were going to have to be cited. This seems extremely unfair and I voiced this to this officer. If there is no proof that we are violating any statutes pertaining to noise, how can we be cited for it? Are there any legal options available to me? Would it be unreasonable to consult with a lawyer about this? Are there some sort of damages I can sue for? I don't even particularly care about financial gain, but I would like for there to be some consequence for her borderline harrassment, even if it means she'll stop and think before calling the police next time. Please let me know what I can do, I'm at the end of my rope here. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Mentally challenged teenager has an interest in my new home and will not leave me alone. Posted: 04 Feb 2019 03:51 PM PST I'm not really sure how to handle this, let me know if there is somewhere better to post this. Sorry if it is really long. TLDR at bottom. Location is in Washington State. We closed on a home at the beginning of 2019. Very quiet dead end street with no real traffic. During the 2nd week I was living there I was standing in the garage organizing things when I heard someone yelling "Hey Guy!" from the driveway. It was dark outside and the garage door was wide open, so I couldn't really see much in the dark driveway. I turned on the front lights and saw a teenager (guessing around 15) standing in the driveway. I stepped out and he started yelling "You stole my house, this is my truck, this is mine" etc. It was immediately obvious that he has a mental handicap. I asked him what his name was and where his parents were. He told me his name but that was all. I will refer to him as Tom. Eventually I asked him if he would show me where he lives, and walked with him through the neighborhood to his parents' house. The house is on a street adjacent to mine, about 3 blocks down. His mother answered the door, grabbed Tom by the arm and pulled him inside, then said "Are you the new neighbor? I'm sorry it won't happen again" and closed the door on me. The next day I met my next door neighbor, and he tells me that Tom has been wandering the neighborhood for years but hasn't been a problem for the most part. He proceeds to tell me that when they put the for sale sign up in the yard (house was vacant), Tom became very interested in the house, and eventually came in through an unlocked exterior door and locked himself in one of the bedrooms while sale was pending. The neighbor came in to do some handymen work and found Tom, and made him go home. Off and on for the next few days I see Tom pacing in front of the curb at my house. We started keeping the blinds closed to avoid seeing him. On a sunday morning I started building some walls for a shed in my driveway. I am using hammers and a nailgun and various tools. I carry some materials into the backyard, and come back to find Tom standing in my garage. I firmly tell him to go home, and he starts crying, points to the hammer on my belt and says something along the lines of him hitting his stepdad with my hammer because he hates him. I tell him he can't say things like that and that I am going to call his mom (I don't actually have her number). He starts SOBBING, like, wailing.. Walks out to the other side of the street onto the neighbor's lawn and just starts pacing back and forth while sobbing. I looked at him and asked him if he wanted me to call the police. He says yes. I decide I don't really want to leave him alone with all of these power tools and things right there while I go inside and get my cellphone, so I walk to the neighbor's house (who's yard Tom is sobbing in) and ring the doorbell. A woman answers the door and says "This is a daily occurrence, just walk him home, you can call the cops but I won't". By the time she finishes this sentence, Tom stops crying and sprints to his house. Now, Last week I bought a video doorbell (unrelated to this but definitely a perk). The camera shows that almost everyday he comes to my house at least twice a day and stands at the curb and tries to see in the windows. He waves at the house when no one is home. When I got home from work last Thurs, it is 7pm and dark outside, I just step out of my truck when I hear loud footsteps running at me from behind. I turn around and instantly Tom is about 6 inches from me and stammering "Truck is warm .. can I have money.. I know you have money..." over and over. I looked right at him and said "TOM, GO HOME", and he walks to the curb and turns around staring at me. I repeat myself firmly and he runs off. I haven't seen him in person since, but I have video on my doorbell of him standing out by my mailbox and riding his bike in my driveway when no one is home. He really doesn't do anything destructive, and I don't want to be an asshole to this kid, but I honestly just want him to go away at this point. Thinking I should talk to his mom, but it sounds like this has been a problem for years and the neighbors just deal with it. Thought about calling the sheriff's office and sending a notice? Waiting until he is on my property and call? What can his mom really do about him other than locking him up in inside? It can't be an easy situation for her either.. TLDR; Mentally challenged kid in the neighborhood has an obsession with my house, won't leave it alone, neighbors don't seem to care. Almost called the police on him after he made some threatening remarks about his stepdad. Don't know how to handle the situation.. [link] [comments]  |
| My parents have been tormented by their neighbor. What can they do? Posted: 04 Feb 2019 09:17 PM PST Their neighbor is a psychopath. He's tormented multiple neighbors but nothing is ever done. He admitted to cutting the hose of one neighbor right to his face. He ran the previous owners out. He threw rocks through one of their bedroom windows which was where their child stayed. He threw feces in their pool. Ever since my parents have moved in he's accused them of poisoning his plants and has tried picking fights with my 69 yr old father. He's swerved toward him almost as if to hit him while he's walking. He's also climbed over the wall in the back yard with a mask on and broken their bedroom window while they're sleeping. What he does the most is throw large rocks onto their clay tiled roof over and over. Apparently is been every night this week. My parents had an injunction and it all stopped during that time. That ended and it's now picked back up again. They have cameras on their home but like I said he wore a mask in the past and stays out of view when he throws the rocks on their roof. I know this sounds extreme but can rocks be dna tested and run against trash or something outside? My father has saved them all. Does that fact that there was an injunction placed on him help with a lawsuit? I'm at a loss and want it to stop. It's frustrating because my father moved to Arizona to get away after being diagnosed with leukemia. He's been retired for quite some time and I can see it's now starting to wear on him. The local police department doesn't really seem very helpful. They're called out every single time something happens so it's documented but other than that, they won't do much. Any help would be ENORMOUSLY appreciated. Thank you very much. If there's another place I can post this for help please let me know as well. Thanks again. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 07:49 AM PST I've just found out that my Box is powering five parking lot lights. They each have their own 20amp breaker which makes me believe this is a substantial amount of power. Our contract was recently switched over to a new Landlord a few months ago but me and my Roommates have lived here for 4 years. What do I do? I'm in Michigan [link] [comments]  |
