| Posted: 09 Oct 2019 10:00 PM PDT (MA) Hadn't even met her yet. She gave me her number. We spoke for days. She asked my last name and a day after disclosed that she looked at my info of all contact with local pd dating back to my childhood. When my parents divorced I had gotten into a little trouble. Nothing major. However this made me uncomfortable knowing that without probable suspicion she just accessed this type of info about me. Especially juvenile info. [link] [comments]  |
| Fired in Texas for taking prescribed meds at home, yeehaw! Posted: 10 Oct 2019 08:13 AM PDT Long time lurker, 1st time poster. Apologies for the upcoming wall of text. TLDR at the end. Several weeks ago I had a random follicle test at work, no prob, I've passed several before with this same employer. However, in good faith I reported to my supervisor that I've been taking CBD. Since it's not regulated by the FDA, that I'm aware of, I let them know, since I wasnt sure how that would look on the follicle test. My concern was that since it's not regulated, I wasnt sure that there would be zero THC in the CBD. Supervisor took this info to HR, as he should have. The next day, I was sent home and scheduled a visit with a substance abuse counselor that HR referred me to. HR requested my prescription records, as they have after my past follicle tests, and I complied. I currently take an opioid 2-3 times per week in the evening, as prescribed by my physician. I've had osteoarthritis in my lumbar and pelvis since age 30, have tried various medications, procedures, PT, chiropractic treatments, but I digress. Had the meeting with the counselor, starting paperwork at 4:30pm, and left the appointment at 9pm. She recommended 3 weeks inpatient detox. FOR TAKING ONE 7.5MG HYDROCODONE 2 OR 3 EVENINGS A WEEK. I contacted HR, asking for outpatient treatment, as I have 3 minor children, and I wanted to keep my job. I also asked why we didn't run into this issue the previous times I submitted my prescription records, when I was taking a higher dose more frequently. HR was unable to answer that question, and also advised to visit the inpatient facility. I visited the facility, complete with meth addicts and alcoholics, and submitted a urine sample to them. Once I returned home, I contacted HR again, asking again for outpatient services, at a facility near me, that has counseling from 9am-1pm, 4 days a week, in hopes that I would be home in the evenings to care for my family. Note that the outpatient location is run by the same hospital system that runs the inpatient on the other side of town. HR did not give me an answer on this, but I was told at that time that my follicle test came back negative for THC. Fantastic! I received a call from my supervisor a few days later, scheduling an appointment at work. I arrive to find my supervisor and an HR representative, and was told I was being terminated for not complying with the counselor's reccomendation. I asked why, since I had passed my drug test. This was news to my supervisor, as his head whipped towards the HR rep when I said I passed. The HR rep was unable to answer my question. I went home, submitted a claim for unemployment, not knowing how that would turn out since I was fired. I'm in Texas, an "at-will" state, where you can be terminated for no reason at all. Last week I had a phone interview with the TWC agent researching my claim, and found out this week that I have been granted benefits as my firing was not due to on the job misconduct. I have a family member that is offering to send me to a lawyer to sue my employer for wrongful termination. My question to you all is...would I have a snowball's chance in hell of anything coming from this? Can an employer involve themselves in my medical treatment when it has no negative effect on my work performance? TLDR: Fired from my job for taking physician prescribed medication while at home, when my employer already knew about this for 8 years, and they had no issue with it on previous follicle tests. Note: I have had zero safety incidents on the job, and excellent performance reviews. Thanks for reading. [link] [comments]  |
| Abandoned Vehicle sticker placed weekly on my vehicle. Posted: 10 Oct 2019 03:12 AM PDT Mesa, Arizona. United States. I live in a suburban neighborhood and park my vehicle outside of my house. My roommate uses the driveway for his two cars and my 2001 pickup is parked on the street. I occasionally come out to find a 48 hour towing notice of abandoned vehicle on my driver side window. It can be a pain to remove since you have to use olive oil and scrape it off. It takes about 30min to an hour of my day. It usually happens on Sunday evening when I'm home and I won't notice it until I leave for work on Monday. I spoke to the officer on the phone once since I could contact him through the incident number at the city PD. I explained to him I park it in the same place everyday, of course it looks like it doesn't move. He just kept reiterating that it needed to be driven everyday... which it is. So I asked him if he could draw chalk on the tires to see that the truck is indeed driven, but he said that they skip that and just put the sticker on since it's not a case they are going to follow up on. Then he told me that it's clearly a problem since one of my neighbors keeps reporting it anonymously on the city PD's website. So I started parking it in front of different neighbors houses, since parking it in the same spot looks like it's static to that anonymous neighbor. But even when I park and walk 2-3 houses away in different places everytime I've driven home from work, I still occasionally get the orange sticker. What can I do? Leave a note in the window every single day with "last driven on DATE"? This is getting exhausting. Edit: Thank you all for your responses! I will clarify a few things. I am not violating any HOA bylaws/CC&R's nor any city laws. Somebody is routinely making anonymous tips because they think my truck isn't being moved. My roommate won't let me park in the driveway because he has seen this happen to me and does not want either of his vehicles to get a sticker. This does not happen to other people in the neighborhood. It's only been happening to my truck. There are many cars that are left for days or weeks at a time in the neighborhood on the road, but nobody has an issue with them. Typically someone will call if they see a vehicle hasn't been moved in a while. That violates city law and is an abandoned vehicle. The difference here is that my vehicle moves everyday and is called on anyway. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2019 11:20 AM PDT A bit of a doozy... I purchased a car Saturday in Massachusetts. I paid 10k in a bankers check and financed the remainder. Upon pickup on Tuesday, I was told I was given a rebate (which was not in any of my paperwork) that I was not entitled to. The dealership told me I need to pay $500 or else I can't have the vehicle. At this point, I already had a contract, the keys to the vehicle, had the vehicle insured, signed over the title to my old vehicle...everything I needed aside from registration. As far as I was concerned it was my property at the time. After a verbal back and forth the salesman got tough and told me to back down or he would F me up etc etc. After threatening me, I told him he couldn't do that. He then rushed me and violently pushed me . At that point, for my own safety, I tackled him and we were separated by all the other employees. During the separation he hit me several more times because I was the only individual restrained by the other employees. The other employees collected my paperwork that was lost in the altercatiin and shredded it. The police were called and I filed a report. I have yet to request the police press charges. I declined to initially because after the altercation they had possession of my $10k, my new car and the title to my old car. I had no paperwork other thank the bankers check made to and cashed by the company, and an autopolocy with associated VIN. Police told me they couldn't help with the civil side regarding the cars and money, only the assault. If I requested the charges be pressed I couldn't help but think i would have been out that money and both cars for a long time as the civil thing plays out. I sustained a potentially broken nose and a medium cut to the knee... and what sucked the most for me...the brand new watch, which my wife gave me little more than 3 weeks ago as a gift on our wedding day...is destroyed. Had little luck finding a local attorney that would specialise in some of these types of civil claims [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:23 AM PDT A group of 9 of us booked an Airbnb for the weekend (Fri-Mon) near our cruise port that was leaving Monday morning. We arrived in the evening on Friday night and the Airbnb was a self check in. One friend was car sick so she immediately laid down and we left the luggage by the front door while we rested from the car trip. A couple hours later our friend woke up with bites all over her. I immediately went to the room and lifted the fitted sheet on the mattress and found bed bugs. I tried calling the host right away, no answer, so I left a voicemail. I then called Airbnb support. The person on the phone said there wasn't anything else available in the area for our group of 9 and that he would refund the reservation plus the difference for a hotel or wherever else we stayed (this was on a recorded line). The only thing available in the area was a seedy motel for $125 per night and we would have needed a minimum of 3 rooms for 3 nights=$1,125. I was able to instead find another Airbnb about an hour away for $682 so I booked it (this is 8:30 at night now) and we hopped in the car and left. Fast forward a week and instead of refunding the difference (approximately $300) between the first and second reservation, they want to give me a coupon toward a future stay which I probably won't have the ability to use. On the recorded line when I spoke to them, they promised a refund of the difference (which would have been over $700 had we booked a hotel) but now refuse to refund less than half of that. Also, I did document the bed bugs with pictures and sent them to them and Airbnb was also unable to get a hold of the host until Monday morning (3 days later) due to the host apparently being out of town. What can I do about this extra $300 charge they promised to refund? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2019 09:40 AM PDT In California My family come from a Scientology background and don't agree with prescription medications, I have depression and recently got on some meds and it has helped me so much. But the pharmacy I went to notified my father that the prescription was ready without my consent and I never put his name down to call him. Now I'm dealing with backlash from my family because I wanted to keep this a secret. (I'm over 18 as well-the pharmacy is CVS) Is this considered a violation of HIPPA? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor threatening me over standard privacy fence because it blocks his view Posted: 10 Oct 2019 10:14 AM PDT I live by the water in an area where each house is situated very close to one another. For privacy and safety reasons, I put up a fence on both sides of our house. The land was professionally staked, and the fence is well within our boundaries. In fact, the portion of the fence that is closest to the water is actually 2 feet away from the property line on our side. My neighbor has been threatening us to tear down the fence because we are "blocking their panaromic view" of the water. It is not enough that they have a direct view, they want side views as well. The fence itself is 6 feet high (the max allowed according to code) and I live in an area where there is no "view protection". Is there any risk I should be aware of? We have small children & because of the close proximity of houses, neighbors are constantly looking over at them which makes it unpleasant to be outside. Neighbors have often times walked onto our property because they think it's all connected (not in a malicious way, but freely hopping over to talk with us any time they want). [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2019 01:37 AM PDT So in this situation there's a three-member LLC run under an operating agreement in the US (CA). Within the agreement is a clause stating that certain kinds of actions require a "two-thirds (66.67%) majority vote". There was recently a disagreement concluding in a vote where two voted for a motion, one against. Now that one party is trying to claim that the vote is invalid because 66.67% is technically larger than two thirds. He's hired an attorney to help make this case, and is effectively blocking the motion. From my non-legal point of view, this would seem to be a frivolous argument. It's impossible to represent two thirds in a decimal form, so when 66.6666... repeats to infinity, it's common, and appropriate, to round. Two-thirds (two out of three) would seem to be the operative value as it's more precise, and makes the most sense in the context of a three-member LLC. My question is, is this argument as weak as it seems, or is there something there? What is likely to happen if this issues goes in front of a judge? And is there precedent where issues with rounding have settled cases in favor of the technicalities? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2019 12:25 PM PDT VT, USA Hi, I work in a factory that produces products using fabricated metal parts. Last week, I noticed that a relatively new sandblaster was billowing sand into the surrounding area. Inside the haze, you could absolutely smell and taste it in the air. It was thick, and it was hard to breathe. Despite all this, perhaps 6-12 workers were working in the haze, with no respirators or even masks in sight. I saw this as a concern and brought it to the attention to my immediate supervisor. I looked up OSHA policies for sandblasting and believed there to be quite a few violations. My supervisor was angry that I looked this up on company time, but relented and went to his supervisor, the floor manager, with my concerns. He later caught up with me and explained that there was no need to be worried, as the sand is nontoxic. He said that for this reason respirators weren't necessary. To me, that was still a hazard, toxic or not. The sand collects everywhere, even on vertical walls, and if anything is remotely damp, (think fogged glasses) it sticks to it like crazy, so obviously people are inhaling lots of it. I did a bit of investigating around the machine and took some photos of the sand buildup covering everything in sight. Examining the bag, I found warnings against inhalation of the substance. A coworker told me that this sandblaster was meant for glass beads, and that because they are blasting using a fine sand, the filters aren't catching it, so it blows out with the exhaust. I called OSHA, asking what I should do. After explaining the situation and sharing the photos, they suggested I complete a formal complaint, which I did. Earlier this week, an OSHA officer came and investigated the site in the early morning. From what I was told by other coworkers, the supervisor of that line had all hands on deck cleaning the area around the sandblaster before he got to it. He reportedly found no issues with the setup, but I believe he didn't notice the sand accumulating in the air. My supervisor put it together that I had called, and approached me after the officer had left. He said to me, "When did you call?" At first I outright denied it, as I had marked that I wanted to remain anonymous, however lots of employees saw me taking photos and the pressure was enough to where I gave away information about the complaint. I believed he was on my side and looking out for me, because earlier he had told me that he shared my concerns, and in this conversation he did as well. Today, I was pulled into a meeting with the big company manager (top boss), head of HR, and my supervisor. They asked me, "Do you know why you're here?" I replied, "Probably because I called OSHA." Is the fact that I admitted to it what allowed them to have this conversation with me at all? Or could they have had it if I had denied it the whole way through? In the conversation, they said that me calling OSHA was unacceptable, and that I should have continued going up the chain of command if I didn't like that nothing was being done to fix the problem. I was told to "Have a little faith". They explained that me calling OSHA lowers employee morale and trust in the company. I explained that I was concerned for my fellow employees. They asked me if I knew why it had billowed sand (it does every day, but the day I raised concern was especially crazy). I told then that it was because an employee had taken cardboard to point the exhaust vent towards the floor, but had somehow messed something else up in the process. They told me that no, that wasn't the reason, it was because the employees had tried to run it without a filter installed. They later stated that no, the sandblaster does not normally blow sand, when I suggested that perhaps the OSHA officer found no issues because the area had been deep cleaned moments prior. They told me that no other employee on the line had voiced any concerns (they have a different supervisor that can be hard to talk to). I was told that it was us as employees' fault that areas got dirty and our responsibility to keep those areas clean. After my meeting, I was definitely a bit uneasy and told some employees what the boss had said about the day it was billowing sand (no filter). They called bullshit and said that they always use a filter, no exceptions. I'm just worried about keeping my job and also my coworkers' health. They (after my complaint) added a secondary filter onto the exhaust port, but I haven't been over there since then to see if it fixed the problem. Are respirators really not necessary just because it's nontoxic? I read on OSHA's website that sandblaster sand needs to be mopped, is that just for toxic sand or all? (because it never gets mopped up). Any clarification would be great on OSHA stuff. I know OSHA's whistleblower protections state that any intimidation tactics or anything else that might stop an employee from making another complaint are illegal, but does their meeting with me have the language in it to do that?

| How can I get a paternity test after affair resulted in a child? Posted: 10 Oct 2019 09:38 AM PDT I had a relationship with someone who is married We are both 25 and her husband is 49. We met at the gym. We had a short relationship where she was conflicted about leaving her husband. She comes from a religious family so divorce is out of the question. We stopped seeing each other Here is the problem. After more than a year, I randomly ran into her at the grocery store and she said she and her husband had a baby. the baby looks exactly like me. Saw more pics online and I know that baby is mine. I wrote to her to get a DNA test she said no because the baby is her husband's. Here is another problem, her husband is psychotic so I am screwed and scared of him. How do I legally get a paternity test? If the child is mine, I want us to share custody and i definitely don't want my child near her psychotic husband. Edit, we are in Virginia. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2019 09:45 PM PDT After I went blind, our apartment complex (Missouri) told me that they would install Ada compliant toilets if I purchased them. At the time they said that they would keep the old toilets, so that if we ever moved we could take these with me. Now that we are moving out, they're saying "Sorry the toilets have to stay". I told them if they're not willing to let me take them with me, that I can provide the receipt and they can reimburse me for the amount (roughly 350$), but they're completely ignoring me. It feels like the complex is now benefiting off of my disability by keeping these. They're starting to renovate other units, and I have a feeling that their trying to make a quick buck off of me by making me leave these here. Is anyone familiar with Missouri ADA laws? My lease says that I must pay for replacement fixtures, but then it states that the lease must comply with Missouri law. I have read that in the state of Missouri reasonable accommodations must be made/paid by the landlord but I might be getting false information. Anyone an expert in ADA or MO ADA laws? Any advice is appreciated. Edit: MO ADA law section added. [link] [comments]  |
| [NM] Written up for discussing pay with coworker and 40+ hours without overtime questions Posted: 10 Oct 2019 06:57 AM PDT So two quick questions. My employer gave pay raises across the board to all employees, essentially with the goal of getting everyone up to $10/h. Apparently I was told not to discuss my pay rate or raise, which I didn't remember, and subsequently did with 1 employee. I was later written up for "insubordination," but thought it was illegal to limit employees from discussing compensation. Is this legal? 2nd question, my job requires annual certifications and training. Training hours on pay stub are listed at minimum wage, and do not count for overtime. For example, one pay period had me at 43 hours for my normal job, 40 hours regular and 3 overtime, then 8 hours of training at minimum wage. Can they really require over 40 hours of work without overtime? Thanks for any advice, I know very little about employee rights or laws honestly. Edit: 1. They have in-house legal (only 1 guy though.) 2. After a mandatory drug test following a traffic accident while driving a company van, my manager told the drug testing company employee that called them with the results to tell me to bring in my prescription medication that was verified by them already. The testing employee verified who she spoke to by name. When I went in they (my manager and the lawyer) checked my prescription, but denied ever speaking to the testing employee or asking me to bring it in, I presume because they weren't actually allowed to.

| [TN] Police Officer wouldn't accept my insurance card Posted: 10 Oct 2019 12:41 PM PDT I'll do my best to keep this brief. I was pulled over this morning and the officer asked for my DL and insurance card. I tried to show him my insurance info on my phone, but he said that he could only accept a card. After getting permission to look through my glove box, I found the printed (on regular paper) info that my insurance company had provided. The officer wouldn't accept that either as it had to be a "card." I'm assuming he wanted it on card stock. I asked why he wouldn't accept either form of information, and he said it was up to his discretion as to what form of proof of insurance he would accept. Anyway, now I have a ticket and a court date for a violation of the Financial Responsibility law. Can I fight this at the court date, or am I out of luck because I didn't have a "card?" Also, I thought that Tennessee had a system where LEOs could check to see if a driver had insurance. Why couldn't that be proof that I was insured? [link] [comments]  |
| My mom fell into a pothole at Family Dollar and fractured her leg requiring surgery. Should she sue? Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:42 AM PDT Hello. Two days ago my mom was coming out of a Family Dollar at night and her leg went into a deep pothole that she didn't see near her car. She fell backwards and fractured her hip. She had to take an ambulance to the hospital and have surgery on it. She now has to do physical therapy and the surgeon said her leg will never be the same. Family dollar already left a number for her to call so I assume they are going to offer to pay for her medical. We think she should sue, but she's scared it won't pan out or that it will mess with her disability. Looking for some general legal advice. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| [MI] People on dirt bikes riding on property Posted: 10 Oct 2019 10:26 AM PDT Hello everyone. I have a trail running from the back of my garage through the trees to a clearing all within my personal property. The other day I noticed tire tracks and checked my trail cams and found at least one person on dirt bikes riding along this trail. I am posting no trespassing signs all around my property, but what else can I do about this? I don't want to block off my trail as I use it for hunting and don't want to prevent the deer from coming through my shooting lane. I feel like calling the police would be pointless as they'd never show up in time before the dirt biker left. I do have a picture that can clearly identify the bike, but the rider is wearing a helmet and cannot be identified. I plan on talking to my neighbors this weekend. Thank you [link] [comments]  |

I've learned my lesson from this and I understand that legally they probably have every right to do so just wondering if I have any options here, I might just ask them to stop using it and see if that works [link] [comments]  |

| Wind broke window, landlord sent invoice for $3000. Posted: 10 Oct 2019 10:21 AM PDT The house I'm renting in North Carolina has those roll out windows. I think I closed all of them when I went on a 2 day trip, but it's possible that I forgot that one window. When I came back, the window was shattered by a huge windstorm (frame and all). The landlord has taken 7 months to repair it and has just now sent me an invoice for $3000 saying I was negligent and that I "must have" left the window open. What should I do? Am I liable to pay for that? If I did accidentally leave a window open, is that negligent? [link] [comments]  |

| UT - Trial by judge, and character letters Posted: 10 Oct 2019 11:59 AM PDT Hello! Here is the issue at hand: two misdemeanor charges for stalking have been pressed based on falsified police reports (which contradict each other) and no evidence. There is a huge amount of evidence disproving the charges, yet the case is moving to court anyway. Trust me. Everything has been tried to drop the charges. There are no more options. Court is where it is headed. The defendant is a person of color, and the liar pressing charges is a pretty, white Mormon girl. It is an ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend situation wherein she has lied all through everything. That is just a background about the absurdity of the situation. But, this is Utah. Chances are, racial discrimination will serve a big role. It already has in a few ways. My first question: is a trial by judge better than a trial by jury? Juries tend to be more emotional, while I understand that the judge tends to stick to the matter of law, and that is likely better in this situation. Second question: the police reports and her testimony grossly misrepresent the defendant. Is it best to write a slew of character letters to the judge? The case is currently in the pre-trial conference phase. Is that the best time to submit the letters? Are these good ideas? Thank you in advance. Edit: More context. He has had an attorney since the beginninf. The prosecution's case is entirely based on framing him as "bad and scary and she only stayed around and told him she was in love with him and kept sleeping with him even though he said go away because she was scared of him". I am his girlfriend of two and a half years. Longer than this trial. Longer than her pressing "stalking" charges during our relationship. During a time where she called him then hung up, then I called her back and said "leave us alone", which was months before the "stalking" charges. He has mountains of proof that she is lying. Doesn't matter. Prosecutors are going for character assassination anyway. So I just want ideas. We talk about this a lot. And I really don't want to go on the stand because it would be difficult to not say "look, she is a vengeful bitch" and maybe panic. And say the wrong thing. It's a mess. I understand if you don't want to get involved or say anything. I just can't sleep at night anymore. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2019 06:53 PM PDT Hey. In Florida, friend bought a small business, a bar of sorts. The previous owner did not disclose the amount of gift cards purchased. And did not even disclose that gift cards are even offered by the company. Customers are now coming in and using gift cards and the new owners are losing money, My question is what recourse do they have? I feel like it was deceptive and hopefully illegal to sell the business that had this outstanding money without disclosing it. I can provide more info if needed. But I would like to know to help them out. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2019 12:35 PM PDT New York, NY I was involved in an accident deemed not at fault on 8/23. Damages were to both passenger side doors. Immediately after dropping off my car to the shop I had to go out of state for family matters. Coming back home on 9/25 I get a bunch of parking tickets and tolls in the mail and 800miles put on the odometer. I brought this up to the owner of the shop and he had no explanation for it but paid the tickets. Yesterday I get a call from an insurance company saying my car was involved in an accident on 9/20 while my car was still in the shops possession and while I was out of state. Damage from this accident was the passenger side door, which is where the damage from the original accident was. I've checked on the car multiple times and the owner never told me of any incident. Receiving the call was the first I heard of it. The other drivers insurance company sent me a picture of the accident. It took place 10 miles from the shop in a residential area. I spoke with my insurance and they said that the new accident should be covered under the shops own insurance. I have not brought up the new accident to the shop yet. Is there anything a lawyer can do in this case? Any other actions I should take? My car is currently still in the shop. Doors need to be painted and thats it. Since returning home I have been checking in on them multiple times a week. Work is getting done and no more mileage has been put on it, but this accident while I was gone is new to me.

| Sold home and buyer is trying to get me to pay for old electric panel Posted: 10 Oct 2019 12:21 PM PDT Sold my home a couple weeks ago. During the inspection the buyer said the main electric was double tapped and asked us to fix. We agreed and paid an electrical company to come out and fix. We sent the receipt to the buyer for confirmation. The buyer did a final walk and did not bring up any issues and we sold the home. 2 weeks later the buyer is now saying that the panel needs "updating" and is wanting us to pay even though we still haven't gotten exact confirmation on what's wrong. They are claiming the Panel needed more fixes and that the double tap is still there. They reached out to the electrical company who did the work and they are claiming the eclectical company told us during the repair that the panel needed more work as well but we said to just fix the double tap and that's it. Well that's not true. The electrician came out for a quote. Told us he could fix it real quick and gave us a price. We then had them come back out A few days later and like he said, fixed it within 10 mins and we paid and he left. Both times they never mentioned any safety hazards or that it needs more work. Now we didn't asked for a thorough inspection, just asked them to come fixed what the buyer asked to repair. The house is from 1950 and of course needs "updating". I feel that since we paid to fix what was asked for and they agreed and did their final walk without issue that we are not responsible. If the double tap is still there then that's on the electrical company since we have the receipt showing the repair completion and payment. I'm upset that the electrical company is stating they told us additional work was needed when that's not true and not stated on any quotes or receipts. I am thinking of reaching out to the electrical company to see where the issue is. What do you suggest I do? It's extremely frustrating that this is happening since i did everything to be as clear as possible on the disclosure and was very agreeable on fixing what they asked to fix. Now our realtor is stating this might go to small claims court if they want to pursue further. I live in the USA [link] [comments]  |
