| [UPDATE][PA] My neighbors were starving their chickens and ducks to death. Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:30 AM PDT This didnt get a lot of traction at all but for the like 2 or 3 people who responded. The neighbor apparently told the cop that the chickens died from sharing a space with the ducks. Nothing will be done on that end. There were originally 4 chickens all together and all 4 died within 3 days. There are 3 ducks left. I went out today to offer to purchase the ducks from him to take them to a sanctuary that I found who would have taken them, but they apparently already found a new home for them. The new owners will be coming to pick them up on Wednesday, so hopefully they have a better life after this. The only Orgs that contacted me back were the ones that didn't deal with animal abuse/neglect to let me know they can't help, which I appreciated. I'm pretty upset about the lack of response from the SPCA. They haven't contacted us at all since the day before they said they would come out to investigate. I don't know, maybe one or 2 of the chickens could still be alive if they did. Apparently the wife is upset and going crazy about getting rid of the remaining ducks but she literally not once has left her house outside of going to work. She has never ever gone back there with the ducks and chickens. I'm pretty sure she has hoarding tendencies at this point and her husband enables her. The husband didn't seem at all phased we called the cops on him. I think he's just done with the whole situation to be honest. So I failed at saving those poor chickens but I like to think since the cop came out that they decided to get rid of the ducks. So while the cop didn't seem to care at all about the situation and he just had to be here because it's his job I'm still thankful he showed up because I think it helped scare the neighbor.

| Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:31 AM PDT Hey there, My ex will not stop listing our daughter as a dependent on his taxes ( he has done this the past 5 years). TY 2018, he gave me $160( less than half for a Nintendo Switch) & he saw her 27 days out of the entire year. I have all of my receipts for her tuition(primary school), nanny, health insurance, etc. Is there a formal injunction I can file to have the IRS investigate him? Or must I file a motion at the county courthouse? Thanks :) [link] [comments]  |
| (VA) Neighboorhood kids knocked on my door asking if I can hire them for labor Posted: 29 Apr 2019 06:29 AM PDT On a nice Saturday afternoon, two young neighborhood kids knocked on my door and asked if I had any work they could do for me. I asked a few questions and gathered that their parents were tired of getting their requests for money so they shooed them away, telling them to go bother their neighbors with such requests. The kids want the money to buy toys and games and stuff like that. I didn't gather their age, if I had to guess I'd say maybe between 10 or 12. In this instance I didn't have any chores front and center so I wished them well and sent them off. Later on I did think of some tasks around the yard they could do. Basically, picking up sticks and weeds. Nothing involving power tools or sharp objects. On the off chance such a request surfaces again, I'd like to know more about what legal considerations, if any, I should be aware of. My question is, I've heard of child labor laws, and believe they exist for good reason, but I'm not a lawyer and don't know if such laws would apply to neighborhood kids actively looking for a neighborhood job? Would I be putting myself at risk by hiring a neighborhood kid to do some menial task - at their request? Is there information that I would need to gather before agreeing to pay a neighborhood kid - e.g. no hiring anyone under the age of 13? Would there be any sort of tax implications or record keeping for paying out a small amount, say under $20? The bottom line is my sense of it is that this sort of thing happens all the time, but I would like to understand what risks and pitfalls exists before engaging. The last thing in the world I need is to get in ANY sort of trouble for hiring some neighborhood kid for a task that I genuinely could easily do myself. [link] [comments]  |
| (MD) Neighbors won’t stop smoking weed in their apartment and it’s smelling up my apartment Posted: 29 Apr 2019 03:23 AM PDT I just moved into a ground level apartment, and several times now I've smelled the very strong odor of weed. I knocked on my upstairs neighbor's door and when he answered I immediately smelled it. I politely explained that it's going into my apartment below him and that I have two eight month old babies and a six year old that I don't want breathing that stuff in. I asked if they could smoke on their balcony or at least blow it out a window or something and he seemed understanding. We live near a university and he's about that age that I assume he's a student and I think a woman lives there as well. They haven't stopped smoking. Is there anything I can do? If I called the police would they even do anything? I hate to get cops involved over something like this, but I already talked the the guy and he hasn't stopped and building management just says to call the police. [link] [comments]  |
| Homeless setting up camp in the alleyway/easement/neighbors yard Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:15 AM PDT I live in San Antonio and our house has an easement in the corner of our backyard that is fenced off. We believe the high voltage box belongs to AT&T but the sign posted on it is "before you dig call 811". Our backyard has an alley way that our fence and the easement fence touches. The plot of land next to our house is an empty lot with no structure on it. For the past three months, homeless people have been living in the alleyway and more recently inside the fenced area of the easement. We've called AT&T and asked them to put a lock on the fence and clean up their part of the alley. They keep refusing. The lot next to us now is the new place for the homeless and they have set up camp there. There are enough trees/brush at the back of the lot near the alley that it is hard to see that they are there. We have contacted the police multiple times to escort them off, but they keep coming back. Who can we call besides the police to take care of the issue? Calling 811 does not help and I don't know which department to ask for when calling AT&T. Is there a department for the City of San Antonio that I could contact to take care of this problem? How do I reach the owner of the empty lot to let them know the situation and to clean up the mess? [link] [comments]  |
| Landlady charged me $30/hr out of security deposit for her to clean apartment Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:32 AM PDT State is Colorado. I lived in a small condo/apartment that was owned by my land lady/roommate. I'm a neat person, but she was obsessive and difficult to live with. She gave me 30 days to vacate the property mid April because she was moving and wanted to rent to someone else. She stated if I returned the common areas of house (living room, kitchen, my bathroom and bedroom) in its original condition, I'd get my deposit back. There was no damage done and I cleaned the house and took photos of everything. Today she sent me back $540 out of my $900 security deposit, saying she charged me $30/hour to clean the house along with itemized 'receipt' of how long it took her to clean each room. She's saying it took her 2 hours to clean a bathroom that I know I already left in good condition. I don't feel like she should be able to do this. If she hired a professional cleaning service and could prove it took the 12 hours she's claiming to clean the house, I'd be like okay, makes sense but this is just her word. Is she allowed to do this? [link] [comments]  |
| Accidentally signed a lease, now owe $2,250 because of it. Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:40 AM PDT ( South Carolina) I've been trying to figure out what to do about this and I could really use some advice. I'm currently 25 and back in January of 2017 I was touring some apartments in a city that I thought I was going to stay in at the time. During this time I came across an apartment I really liked, it was a new complex with literally all college students, which is what I was at the time. During my tour the person working there said I should go to their website and "fill out the application" to try to reserve a certain unit. I went and did this and I remember just clicking through it and not paying a ton of attention to what I was doing, thinking it was all just a simple application. I came to a last page and remember doing an e-sign (I'd never heard of this before). I did it, just thinking it was the application. A couple days later, due to unforeseen events I found out I'm not moving to this city all together. I call the person helping me telling them I didn't need that unit after all and to not worry about my application. She looks me up and says I apparently already signed a lease. I told her that can't be right and I race to their front office. I talked to the manager of the place and essentially told them it was a careless mistake and I'm no longer even moving to the city. She pretty much told me too bad and was really rude about it. From then on I wrote letters to the complex explaining the mistake, also wrote letters to the collection agency telling them what happened. I got nothing but a collections for it sitting on my report I've had this on my credit report since then and it's weighing down my score and available credit. I now have a great paying job and I've had a Delta Amex with a credit limit of $1,000 for 6+ months now, which I really want a larger limit. I have a minor sized student loan. I haven't missed a payment and pay everything off every month. But this collections charge is a big weight on my report, keeping my scores and credit limit down, along with preventing me from getting certain cards. What do I do to get this off my reports?

| Posted: 29 Apr 2019 08:58 AM PDT Hi reddit, Hoping we may be able to do something here. The woman lived in my Grandmothers neighborhood and many have commented that she was part of my very sweet Grandmas "open door policy", she is known to have some sort of mental issues of some kind but it seems she has a weird obsession with my Grandma/family. I'll call her Q for sake of this post. My Grandma got very sick suddenly, went from fine at Thanksgiving to bedridden by January with an aggressive cancer that had already spread. From diagnosis to death was about 3-4 weeks. While my Grandma was still in the hospital I began receiving many messages on Facebook from Q, claiming to be my Grandmas best friend and needing to see her. I gave her the hospital and room information to visit my Grandma. While at the hospital she told many stories that people were scratching their head at, as many could tell they were not true and did not even make sense. Claiming she taught my Dad to drive, and was at the birth of my Aunt, and more, which many parties have refuted as false and we privately discussed the stories of the woman and agreed she is very odd but we have all still been nice to her. Fast forward to the day of the funeral, she shows up with these photo albums. 3 of them, filled to the brim of *literally precious* family photos that many of my Grandmothers kids hadn't even seen. Photos of them under the Christmas tree, photos of my Grandmothers relatives, photos of when my Grandmas first husband was still alive (Q wouldn't have even lived near my Grandma at this time), and just SO many photos and memories that there's literally no possible way she was part of these photos. When she busts out these photos everyone was in shock, and just enjoying the photos and passing them around, but she began to get very defensive when we started asking some questions. I showed my Aunt some of the photos of her father (my Grandmas first husband) and then very nicely went up to Q to ask if it was possible that my Aunt kept 1 photo of her own father. Q got a nasty look on her face and proclaimed they are HER photos. This went on the entire memorial when someone found precious photos and would ask her about them. The family was not happy about this to say the least, but we were also mourning my Grandmother and didn't want to engage this obviously crazed woman. After talking it over with Q, she promised the family to have digital copies of the photos made (since they are HER photos according to her!) seriously f this lady...... It's now almost May. She has been saying she's getting the digital copies made but excuse after excuse keeps coming up. We've offered to have her drop the photos off somewhere they can scan them for us and return the albums to her, we've offered to scan them ourselves, we've played nice and wished her well and "looking forward to seeing the photos" so many times. Something is very off with this woman obviously, and as much as we would love our original copies of the photos she stole at this point we are lucky if she provides us the digital copies. Do we have any recourse here whatsoever? I'm at my wits end and at the end of the day they are just photos, but they are precious family memories of my Grandma and the entire family and I'm so sick of playing nice with this woman only for her to keep throwing excuses at us. Do we have *any* legal recourse here? I'm willing to keep going to get those photos and at this point if there's any way for us to get the original copies that'd be the best possible outcome, but we will settle for just the digital ones as well. She absolutely, 100%, stole these photos. Should we just give up here? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2019 06:17 AM PDT Tl;Dr: Am I within my rights to demand that the landlord/letting agent provides proof of cleaning/work before I agree for them to make deductions from our security deposit? (UK) I rented a shit-hole of a flat for one year. It was dirty and dilapidated when I moved in, but unfortunately I didn't make any ammendments to the inventory record to list everything that was broken/dirty, as there was so much to do (I had to clean everything before unpacking, there was no hot water, the fridge freezer was broken and they took 3 weeks to replace it, all fun stuff). On moving out, I realised that the original inventory is super vague, but their check out inventory is super detailed, so it looks like I was the one that damaged everything. I'm being charged hundreds of pounds for a deep clean of the property and the removal of damaged items (sofa, chairs, curtains, carpets). Unfortunately I don't have enough evidence to win an official dispute, so I'm going to have to agree to pay. But the new tenants moved in the day after we moved out, no removals or deep clean had been done. Considering that the flat had not been cleaned before I moved in, then the new tenants didn't have a professional clean either, I really doubt that they are actually going to do it. Are they really going to go in and take the new tenants sofa, clean the carpets and dust the light switches? I don't want to agree for them to take my deposit without seeing receipts from contractors or picture evidence. Am I able to demand this? Is it my right to see proof of what they spend my money on?

| A tow truck with shady insurance hit my parked car Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:49 AM PDT So my car was parked outside my house on February 11th and a tow truck lost control and totaled it, destroyed my mailbox, (and a few other nearby cars). Their insurance company is not a big name brand, based out of Maryland, and has been extremely slow and less than helpful. It took WEEKS for them to even get the car from the lot it was towed to. I cancelled my insurance around this time since it was clearly totaled and I was waiting to transfer them once I got a new car. They officially notified me it was totaled. So, they sent me papers for the car and I mailed it back. They delayed sending the checks (for the car and mailbox) then sent them to my old address on my license instead of the address they used to send the paperwork. I finally got the car check, not the mailbox yet. Haven't cashed it yet, but now I get a fine from the MVA. They think I was using the tags/car in that period of time since they were never notified the car was totaled. I ask the company for a total loss letter and they tell me to call the lot, who told me to again ask the company. I am getting very tired of them dragging this out and over complicating things. I don't want to sue but maybe if I could get a lawyer to send them a letter they'd straighten up. Never done this before though, unsure how that works (do I pay the lawyer a flat fee or?). That's my story, what should I do? [link] [comments]  |

| Friend has been made to work 10 hour shifts with no break Posted: 29 Apr 2019 04:05 AM PDT A friend of mine has been working at a cafe for a bit over a year now and is often made to work 10 hour shifts with no break at all. Her boss is often at the cafe during this time walking around eating or sitting down. So there is clearly time and opportunity for her to have a break. Today she finished work and was barely able to walk to the car as she's been on her feet non stop from 7am - 5.30pm. I'm not 100% sure on the law but as far as I'm aware, in Australia if you work over 7 hours you are entitled to a half hour break, as well as 2 ten minute breaks. (This May be wrong, hence why I'm posting here!) Also, for over a month she had been asking her boss to fix her tax as she was being payed incorrectly, he had all the information to fix this yet he withheld it for 3 weeks and as a result she was being taxed almost $150 more the she should have been over more than a month.

| Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:49 AM PDT About 3 months ago I needed to take a few weeks off from my job to have surgery for a female reproductive issue I have. The company put me on short-term disability and during my recovery I was not responding to emails, etc. After two weeks I was back working but worked from home for one week and after that slowly got back into the swing of things. I am essentially the only person who does what I do for the company so productivity slowed to a halt during this time despite assigning tasks to others for support as I was advised to do. Today I had my performance review and was told my medical leave negatively affected productivity, as if I was something in my control and that I should've replied to emails, etc (have this in writing). At my company there is a frat boy startup mentality and to be blunt I'm fed up with it, myself and the other females have endured several instances of sexual harassment and I've been keeping a log of incidents dating back to last year in my icloud account with a time/day stamp as well as witnesses. I'm already looking for work elsewhere but seriously considering legal action after today. Is there any case to be had for being penalized for having surgery? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:08 AM PDT A man kicked in our door on Saturday night, he was obviously intoxicated. We managed to scare him off and no one got hurt. We called the cops during the whole ordeal and they came out and asked around. Neighbors (who were having a party) said they didn't know him. Next day we showed the homeowners and they said they did know him and would have him pay for our door to get fixed. They have paid, the man is going home out of state and I consider the matter dropped. My question is; when the detectives call me can I just tell them I want the matter dropped and I don't plan on pressing charges? Will they try to pursue this anyways? If this question belongs in a different sub please let me know. Edit: Location is Tx [link] [comments]  |
| May have had the father of my child illegally sign a birth certificate? Please help. Posted: 29 Apr 2019 05:00 AM PDT My location is Florida. So I am currently legally married. Me and my legal husband had agreed upon getting a divorce but had not filed for it. He moved out and we began seeing other people. Shortly after him moving out he was arrested. During the time he was incarcerated I conceived a child with my new significant other. The child was born April 4th and her biological father (my significant other NOT my legal husband) signed the birth certificate and acknowledgment of paternity in the hospital. The certificate was approved with the state and has already been received by us at our address. Again there is no possibility of my legal husband being her biological father as he was incarcerated during and long before her conception date. Yes the biological father is aware that I am legally married (we live together in a house he owns with our child) Yes my legal husband is aware of the child and does not wish to have any legal rights over her. Our separation was amicable and I am able to contact him for signatures of any documents that would be needed. It may also be worth noting that he is currently on probation. So....Now what? Are we at risk of legal action by the state? I am still in need of filling my dissolution of marriage petition, could I file for a simplified one saying me and my husband have no common children? Does my husband need to file a disestablishment of paternity even though her biological father has already been accepted by the state as her legal father? Please tell me I haven't ruined my life and sent myself to jail. [link] [comments]  |
| (CA) Co-parent states she can no longer care for our daughter. Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:19 AM PDT So my daughter's(8 years old) mother who is my ex-wife has now told me twice in two weeks she can no longer care for our daughter. Once was verbally on the phone eater weekend, which was her holiday to have our daughter but left her with me instead. She told me the same thing again over text, but she also stated she cant afford to buy food. I recently started going back to school and we now have equal paying jobs with equal custody so my child support is set at zero which seems to have really set all of this off, it was at 400 a month until February of this year. Im genuinely concerned for my daughters well being at this point. My ex acts very unstable and is now expressing that I need to take our daughter. Do I file for an emergency custody order? Today she also said that she is going to take me back to court and get back everything she couldn't fight for during our initial divorce. She didn't show up for court and I was granted a default judgment (4ish years ago). I didn't have custody until the beginning of last year because I was in the military but got a step up plan that granted me equal custody, we were both supposed to attend a coparenting class according to the custody order but she did not attend. She also stated that I have violated the custody order which I have not done, I follow exactly what the order says to the letter. The only portion of the order that is not followed is I communicate with her through text instead of talking parents because she never responds to me or acknowledges my messages, she basically refuses to communicate that way. I don't want to screw her over in any way. She does not like me and that is fine, I am happy in my life and want her to get to a place where she is as well. I only want to do what is best for our daughter, and at this point I genuinely feel that she is unable to adequately care for our daughter just based on her words. I just need to know what I can do to make sure my daughter is given the best life possible. Its sad to see her mother act this way but its pushing our daughter to not even want to go to her moms house during her custody time. I have attached a copy of our text exchange today. https://imgur.com/a/R20y8ld [link] [comments]  |
| [CA] Spectrum Enterprise threatening to charge over $36,000 for service never installed Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:46 AM PDT Background: We, a business in Los Angeles, CA, signed a contract with Spectrum back in June of 2018 for fiber Internet service. We were given a completion date of December 31st, 2018. Throughout this period we kept getting the same canned response that they were waiting on permitting. Come November with still no permit I responded on a number of occasions that we needed to have the service by the completion date or we would look elsewhere. I made sure to include the language "time is of the essence" in the messages and to let us know if there was a possibility this date would not be met. December 31st, 2018 was always the response. Dec 31st came and went with no service and now at the end of every month we get a similar canned response that they are still waiting on permitting and the new completion date is [insert next month] 31st, 2019. We reluctantly decided to give it another month or two since we were already so far down the line. Finally, April 1st, we decided to go with another provider. They now want to charge us over $36,000... THIRTY-SIX-THOUSAND for service never completed (or started) as they are still waiting on permitting. Question(s): (1) There is no language in the contract regarding an ETF for service not provided. They do, however, link to an obscure page on their website with about 20 pages of legalese. Can they really bind us to a contract for services never provided, especially when they are the ones to break the contract? I suppose they technically did not break the contract given the link which allows them to do pretty much whatever they want, but still, this was not a meeting of the minds since there was no mention of such a penalty in the actual physical contract. (2) If they decide to pursue this fee I would like to make their deceptive practices known far and wide. However, there's a canned confidentiality signature in the emails. Is this legally binding? Does responding to a message with one if these signatures necessarily bind you to not discuss the material in the emails? Many thanks to you all. -A Never-Again-Spectrum Citizen PS - May this serve as a warning to all regarding Spectrum's business practices. Stay far away from these folks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2019 11:39 PM PDT Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/bh0z52/ca_my_roommates_are_forcing_me_to_leave_the_house/ As a co-leaseholder myself, I told them I will not be moving out on April 25th 2019. They said they would leave instead. They meet me today and say that they would be vacating later and eventually find their replacements. They also said that they want to increase my rent(effective today) by 20%(Amounts to more than $100) to accommodate for current market prices for their spots' advertisements. They say I can leave if I do not pay the rent. John lives in master bed(comes with walk-in closet and with attached personal bath.) and Jack lives in a single room(not a walk-in closet and share bath located outside his room with me). The difference between John's rent and Jack's rent is less than $50. They could just redistribute their rents and make it marketable. Is there anything I can do to stop them enforcing the rent onto me before they find a replacement? Do I even have a way to protect myself here? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor suing Me for "lying" about their cat attacking my dog Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:27 AM PDT So I just got a lawsuit today from my neighbor saying i made a false report to animal control. His cat was in our yard and scratched my dog so I called animal control because I was fed up with their cat being constantly in our yard and this was the last straw. Now I am being sued for the cost of an electric fence they had to install to keep their cat in their yard. Its $1500, I do not have that type of cash lying around. What should I do? I think it is also important to note that I have called the cops on the husband of my neighbor once because he came to my house and started being super aggressive and wanting to fight me about these chickens I owned. I got rid of the chickens to resolve the issue. But I don't feel as if I did anything wrong in this situation. Please someone help. Edit 1. I also found text messages from the day I called animal control. Telling my friend about what happened. Could these be useful? [link] [comments]  |
| (NJ) New owner to company not honoring (paid in full) annual contract established by previous owner. Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:36 AM PDT TL;DR: Started a plan in February for veterinary services. Paid in full for the year. Company was purchased in April. Now, all scheduled visits have been cancelled, plan is not honored, and we're being directed to the previous owner to discuss refunds. Longer version: I have 2 new puppies. Prior to 6 months old, puppies can be enrolled in a wellness plan (to include spaying/neutering) for roughly $600 per dog. After 6 months, this plan will not cover spaying/neutering ($200-400 per dog). We enrolled our dogs at 3 months old with our local vet. Our goal was to complete their spaying in April, and to pay additional costs to have our dogs boarded while we completed a family vacation. Everything was going fine, scheduled, and on track up until 3 days prior to the vacation. We received a call from the vet informing us that it was under new ownership and management and that our boarding and spaying that was scheduled was cancelled. We were luck enough to find family to watch them, but came very close to cancelling our vacation due to this (additional note: To board dogs, certain vaccines must be given. As it turns out, the vet missed one dose during a March visit, meaning no vet or boarding facility would be able to intake our puppies. In retrospect, it looks as if they had other things on their minds). Now, post trip, we've received a follow up call from the vet. They are no longer honoring the wellness plan (already paid in full for). If I were on a monthly payment plan, this would have just terminated at that point and I'd only be out 2 months of payments. Financially, the only issue would be enrolling them on a new plan at a different facility and being stuck with the bill for new enrollment costs and the added burden of price hikes due to them being over 6 months old. Unfortunately, I paid in full up front. The response was "You'll have to take that up with the previous owner. He'll reach out to you". In my (obviously, IANAL) opinion, the business owners who purchased the facility are responsible for the contracts made at that facility. Their records show that we paid for the annual service in full. In NJ, is this true? I am now out 1200 bucks and am stuck paying (essentially) a penalty when I establish similar services elsewhere due to my dogs' age. Assuming I were fully reimbursed the 1200 paid in February, I'd still be "upside down" as all services rendered in February and March have to be redone with a new vet. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2019 08:37 AM PDT I live in Washington DC in a "smoke fee" apartment building. For the past few months my new neighbor has been smoking cigarettes and marjoram inside their apartment and it has come into my unit. I have spoken to my new neighbors and just asked if they would smoke on their deck outside. They basically told me to fuck off. I have spoken to the leasing office multiple times who have said "without proof, there is nothing they can do." They said that if I had photographic evidence of them smoking then they could of something. I have sent complaint after complaint to the building manager, but they say their hands are tired because I have no evidences that them are smoking. I feel that I am just getting the run around because they have been into everyone's unit many times over the last month to fix problems within all the units. Any advice on how to move forward would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Does my previous lease override new property management? Posted: 29 Apr 2019 09:31 AM PDT Location: Missouri I'll try and make this as short as possible. I started my lease August 2018. It was me and one roommate. Roommate wants to move out. I agree. Talk to landlord who says I just need to renew lease for another year. I renew the lease November 2018. Original landlord sells property to management company who then sells it to another company a month later. I still have the lease with my original landlord. I call property management company to let them know I will be paying rent late. 10 days approximately. My current lease states after the 5th day it's considered late. Each day after a $5 fee is applied. Property management company tells me their fees are different which is $50 fee after the 5th day and $5 a day afterwards. So instead of me looking to pay $25 late fee, they're wanting me to pay their late fee of $75. If I have to have to pay their fee because of paying rent late I understand. However I want to know if I have any say so since I have signed nothing with them. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2019 05:00 PM PDT While I was incarcerated, I requested to have my wisdom teeth looked at due to pain. After submitting the request, the dentist responded in a proper manner in a few days. After meeting with the dentist, it was determined that I had an infected wisdom tooth that needed to be pulled. We scheduled the surgery for 2 days later (A Wednesday). There were no antibiotics given beforehand. The day of the surgery comes and the surgery was quick and harmless. They numbed my mouth, pulled the tooth, stuffed it with gauze, and on I went. I was given some advil type pain relievers and given instructions to ice my mouth a few times a day. Also told to be careful eating, brushing, spitting, etc. Again, no antibiotics were given. I did everything by the book. I didn't eat much, if at all, because of all the blood and numbness. A couple days pass and I have a visit from a few family members (Friday). As I walked in they were astounded at how swollen my mouth and neck area were. I was feeling a little uneasy and lightheaded but powered through the visit because I wanted to spend time with them. I promised when they left that I would ask to go to the infirmary to get checked on. Once I returned to my dorm, I asked the correctional officers if I could be passed to the infirmary to see a doctor due to my mouth swelling and dizziness. They agreed and I was on my way. Once I was accepted into the infirmary I was seen by a nurse. He had let me know the doctors were gone for the weekend and there are only nurses here on the weekend. He took a look in my mouth and didnt see any issues. He took my temperature and it was 102 degrees. He insisted nothing was wrong with my mouth and I only had a fever. He gave me some medicine for the fever - again, no antibitoics. He released me back to my dorm and once I arrived I took what he gave me. That night my mouth pain became unbearable. It felt as if my mouth was throbbing. My swelling was starting to become very bad. I attempted to sleep with an ice pack on my mouth to numb the pain and it barely helped. It was nearly impossible to sleep because I was now drooling and spitting up this brown substance (I would later learn this was my body denying the infection). Once Saturday morning came, I again requested the correctional officers to send me to the infirmary. They obliged and I was on my way. Once I arrived, the same nurse treated me. He looked in my mouth and took my temperature and came to the same conclusion. I only have a fever. No dental issues. I was begging him to help me. The pain was awful, my mouth and neck were noticably larger and more swollen, and this brown stuff was coming out of my mouth. He gave me more anti fever pills and sent me back to my pod. About 6 hours later my mouth pain and sickness was reaching levels I did not know were possible. My mouth was nearly swollen shut, I could barely speak words, and I was spitting every 15 seconds. I again ask the correctional officers to send me to the infirmary. They obliged and I was on my way. I arrived at the infirmary and this time was seen by a new nurse. I was hoping this would be my saving grace. I explained everything, from the day of surgery to now. I showed her my inmate ID card up to my face so she could see the comparison. She ran the same tests the previous nurse did and came to the same conclusion. I had a fever and that was it. I could not believe it. I begged and pleaded her to give me something to help or to send me to a hospital for additional help. She refused and told me the only doctor available is on call and I don't think you are bad enough for me to do that. She sent me back to my pod and I was destraught. Once I got back to my cell I felt as if I was going to die in this cell. I could not sleep, my mouth was almost swollen shut, I had a 102 degree fever, was now puking blood, and the pain was head pounding. I did not sleep for one minute that night. I prayed that I would survive this awfulness. Once morning came (Sunday) and the new correctional officers came into our pod for shift change, I begged them to send me to the infirmary. I had to write a note and slide it under my cell door because I could not speak at this point due to the swolleness of my neck, mouth, and tongue. The correctional officer took 1 look at me and sent me on my way. I had some hope again. Once I arrived at the infirmary I was seen by a new nurse. This was my glimmer of hope for help. She ran the same tests as the previous nurses and determined I had an infection. Unfortunately, she told me, since she is a nurse, she cannot prescribe me antibiotics. She felt it was not severe enough that I could not wait until Monday morning to see the doctors. She let me stay in a cell in the infirmary for the rest of the day and night and had hourly checks on me. Once again, I did not sleep due to all the side effects. Monday morning arrived and they let me see the dentist that performed the surgery on me 1st thing. I was finally going to get assistance. I meet with the dentist and his nurses and their jaws almost hit the floor when they saw me. They prescribed me an antibiotic and sent me on my way. I immediately took the antibiotic, hoping it would help these problems. A few hours passed and nothing was happening. Everything was still painful and swollen. I could not handle another minute of this. I needed to get back to the infirmary and see a doctor. I asked the correctional officers and they obliged. I heard them call the infirmary and inform them that I was not in good condition and the antibiotics did not help. I was on my way to the infirmary. Once I arrived the dentist who saw me previously sent me to the doctor. They both looked at my mouth and neck area and agreed I needed to be sent off to Ohio State medical center for immediate surgery. They contacted the transportation correctional officers, ran some tests on me, put a few IV's in me, shackled me, and I was on my way 2 hours later. After the 90 minute drive to Ohio State medical center, we arrive and begin waiting for asisstance from the staff. Since I am an inmate, I had to wait with other inmates from across the state. This hospital is the main hospital for most prisons in the state of Ohio. After about 30-45 minutes, a resident student comes in and looks at me. At this point my mouth is swollen shut and the correctional officers are speaking for me. He uses a tool to open my mouth and almost threw up from the smell. He immediately transferred me to a bed. Once I was in a gown and shackled to a bed, a team of oral surgeons comes in to look at me. A team of about 7-8 doctors staring into my mouth and are amazed at what they are seeing. They dubbed it the 2nd worst oral infection in their history. I could not believe what I was hearing. They requested emergency surgery to fix the issue. About 2 hours later, I was under the knife. I ended up staying at Ohio State medical center for nearly 30 days. I had 3 surgeries, 5 tubes hanging from my throat, to drain the infections. I was put in a mini coma for the first 2 surgeries because they were afraid I would wake up and pull my bresthing ot feeding tubes out. My mouth was so swollen for the first 2 surgeries that they could not perform anasteshia through my mouth. Instead, they ran a tube through my nose and all the way up and around. I had to be awake for that part. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my lifetime. During the 2nd surgery my oxygen level decreased to 24% and I nearly died on the operating table according my team of doctors. I was diagnosed with a right submandibular, submental, sublingual, submasseteric, pterygomandibular, and lateral pharyngeal space abscess likely secondary to infected previously extracted tooth #32. Also mentioned was ludwigs angina and cellulitis. All of this occured because I was neglected by the medical staff at the prison I was at. I now suffer from PTSD (diagnosed by a therapist and psychologist), have 3 major scars on my throat, have no feeling in my tongue, and have pain daily in the area of the surgery. It is also very difficult for me to eat foods that involve high levels of chewing. I have hired an attorney who specializes in inmate neglect and prison conditions. We are proposing a civil suit in federal court. I was curious about research. I can't find anything similar online. How do we go about determining the amount in damages? How does one put a price on nearly dying? How does this procedure work in terms of length? The complaint is to be filed in May. Burner account for obvious reasons BTW. Thank you for all your legal help. [link] [comments]  |
| [CA] HOA Wants to Install Ring Cameras in Common Pool Area Posted: 29 Apr 2019 12:05 PM PDT My wife and I purchased a home recently, and have started attending the HOA board meetings. One of the topics that they have been discussing is the installation of a Ring video camera or similar system. I don't have an issue with video surveillance in general, but they (the board members) are the ones planning on monitoring the system. This seems a bit weird to me that the 5 older male board members are going to be monitoring the community pool that they live in. They're claiming that they have had vandalism that caused enough damage to the pool to require it be drained and repaired. Also, they are trying to prevent unauthorized access from people outside the HOA. Is there anything that limits who can monitor the system? [link] [comments]  |
