[NC] My License is being suspended indefinitely Posted: 24 Jan 2020 06:44 AM PST I got a letter from the DOT stating that in March, "you NC driving privilege is scheduled for an indefinite suspension in accordance with general statute 20-24.1 for failure to appear as follows..." Then it shows the last citation I received. The thing is, I hired and paid a lawyer to show up. It was for speeding and he got it down to a no seat belt charge. I paid him and the courts. I have the letter from the lawyer saying that it was settled as well as the receipt for the money order to pay the courts. It might be worth mentioning that my lawyer had to reschedule due to conflict of schedule. Should I contact my lawyer or just comply and call the courts? Edit: Issue seems that my money order was never cashed. I asked my lawyer if I should send another or if I should contact the courts. Awaiting a response. Thanks for all the help! [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:11 AM PST My girlfriend's brother is 22 years old and is considered profound special needs. He has mitochondrial disease and a few other severe health issues and is completely reliant on his mother and caregivers to live. He eats through a feeding tube, cannot speak, and has been completely bed ridden (except when lifted into his specialized wheelchair) his entire life. Last week he came down with the flu and was taken to the hospital because any kind of sickness is extremely dangerous to him, especially the flu. While he was sick he developed a yeast infection on his testicles and the nurses were doing an extremely poor job of taking care of him. His mother, who is his primary caregiver, came to visit and noticed he was extremely uncomfortable. He often gets his testicles stuck underneath him and is stuck sitting/laying on them for long periods of time. She took it upon herself to adjust him and to apply medicine prescribed to him for when he gets these kinds of infections. While she was applying the medicine, a nurse saw her and immediately accused her of fondling her son. The hospital is now pressing charges against his mother and Adult Protection Services are getting involved. His mother is now limited to two 15 minute supervised visits with her son each day. He is no longer ill with the flu and should have been released by now. Him being in the hospital like this is extremely dangerous to his health, not to mention he is alone and absolutely terrified. Any time his mom comes to visit he bursts into tears and just seems completely miserable to be without her. His mom has not received any type of court order or information as to what happens next. We fear that he is soon to be moved to a state healthcare facility where the level of care is far from what his mother and private caregivers can provide and removed from custody of his mother. There are dozens of family members, caregivers, friends, etc. that will attest that his mother would never sexually molest her son. These accusations are disgusting and they are ripping a special needs child from his mother and tearing the family apart. My question for LA is what the heck do we do? What kind of lawyer and agency do we seek? This entire situation is disgusting and is a reprehensible act by the hospital. Any advice is immensely appreciated as this situation is getting dire.

Posted: 24 Jan 2020 06:15 AM PST BROOKLYN- Hello, I live in a small studio apartment in brooklyn. Signed a 3 month lease on August 1st that extended the term to month to month and I've been living that way since. On January 1st my landlord gave me a 60 day written notice to be out by March 1st. Ever since then, they have been acting very weird around me and questioning my whereabouts when i'm not home (I travel often for work). However today they called up and wanted me gone by February 1st instead. That's in a week. I am not ready to move out yet based on the original 60 day notice. Is this legal? I understand technically they could've just given me 30 days since that's the minimum, but I already have a written notice for 60. Can she legally evict me in a week? What are my options?

Posted: 24 Jan 2020 05:44 AM PST A relative of mine, Jane, was recently widowed and I'm trying to help sort out her financial affairs. Jane is elderly and has memory problems. Jane claims she has had a safe deposit box for several decades. She has a key for it that is labeled with a box number, but she cannot find any bank statements or other financial records that mention it. She says it was originally part of her bank's promotional package deal with new accounts in which a safe deposit box was included with no additional charge, so there have never been any payments for it (nor records of payments for it). We went to Jane's bank and they say they do not have any record of her currently having a box. A manager said they would conduct a more thorough investigation and then days later reported to us that they are confident that she does not have a safe deposit box with them. The bank went through several mergers, acquisitions, changes of names, etc. over the decades that Jane has been banking with them. I am speculating at this point that through these business reorganizations, the free safe deposit box deal expired (or was forgotten) and records of it are no longer accessible; and then the box was never paid for, and then it was considered abandoned. I am also considering that Jane has simply misremembered which bank/branch the box is physically located in and has forgotten other locations where she may have banked over the years. She is located in Pennsylvania as are all the potential bank branches involved. I have checked the Pennsylvania Treasury's Unclaimed Property website but a search on her name there turns up nothing. I don't know where to go from here. My questions are:

I feel sexually harassed by my boss at work. Yesterday, he tried to kiss me in an elevator. Help. Posted: 24 Jan 2020 11:38 AM PST So yesterday my boss tried to kiss me when we were alone in an elevator. To give some background info; I've worked for a small company (~15 people) in Nova Scotia, Canada for 5 years now and how my boss behaves towards me has gotten progressively more inappropriate. He's always given me a creepy vibe (like tried to offer me a cash envelope, always tells me I'm beautiful and that he loves me like a sister) but I've done my best to brush it off because I otherwise love my job. He's married with a daughter and I'm close to their family as well. Anyway, yesterday he asked me to go downstairs for a coffee. It's not out of the norm, but I always dread being alone with him, because it creeps me out. So once we get into the elevator he leans in and kisses my cheek. I was visibly thrown off, but just kind of laughed awkwardly and changed the subject. We got our coffee, and I was dreading going back in the elevator because I felt like he was going to do it again. This time, he leans in and tries to kiss my mouth. I immediately retreated and said no and he stopped. I was in shock. I was shaking. He asked me into his office and he started saying how he meant it as a joke, and that he was sorry. I told him how uncomfortable it made me and made it clear that it was not welcomed or appropriate. Today, I emailed him saying I was working from home. So far, he has called me 7 times, emailed me a GIF of flowers, told me not to 'overthink' what happened, and that it is the intention not the action that mattered, and his intention was 'just a joke'. He keeps trying to downplay what happened, but I told him it didn't change how I felt. I have absolutely zero feelings towards him, other than disgust. I really don't know what to do because not only is it a small/ intimate company, he's the president. Our HR consultant works remotely and reports to him so I don't feel like I can go to her. I love my job, but it's no longer worth the constant discomfort and fear I feel at work. I know he will not want me leaving the company, let alone for this reason, and will worry about what I could say about him. I also feel trapped by the fact that he is my only reference for future work (this is my first job out of college). If anyone has any advice on what I should, or shouldn't, do I would appreciate it so much. Thanks for reading. TL;DR: I have been sexually harassed by my boss and have no one to turn to. I am going to have to quit my (otherwise great) job because of it. Looking for advice. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:36 AM PST Instead of going into a long story about years of abuse (mental emotional and physical) and financial manipulation let me just start with the meat of the story. And i'm pretty sure there is nothing I can do now as its been 10 years since i first got the loans, but it can't hurt to ask. My father had made it clear to me over the 4 years i was in high school that I should never take out student loans and instead work my way through school. Avoid putting myself in debt. instead in my senior year of hs, his disability came up for review and his monthly amount was adjusted and he was receiving less money. He has an addiction to spending money on useless stuff that ends up hoarded and unopened. He decided then to push me into getting student loans. He manipulated me, which he is extremely good at, even knowing your being manipulated you will end up doing what he wants - always. So i got student loans in my name under my credit, and not the kind your parents co-sign on because he had just filed bankruptcy. As my student loan checks came every semester, he would put the checks into his own bank account, saying that he was going to help me manage the money and spend it responsibly (which made no sense since i was only going to spend on classes and books). instead he got me a credit card (in my name only) and had me use that to pay for my classes and books. My student loan money slowly disappeared without me using any of it and him continually buying things they should have had no money to afford. I'm now in $40,000 debt and struggling to pay interest. My credit card would get maxed and I could not pay it off cause i was not given any of the student loan money to cover it. i eventually had to drop out as I could not afford any more classes. I did get a job but he stole that money as well. when i moved out i was so financially in the hole that i've been struggling to get it fixed ever since. Even though this started 10 years ago (and he blew through the money in less than 2 years) is there anything I can do now? [link] [comments] |
NY sent watch to repairman in MD, he ceased all communication Posted: 24 Jan 2020 07:51 AM PST In May 2018 my mom (NY) sent an antique watch to a specialist in MD for repair. He ceased all communication, returned all letters unsent, and seemingly vanished. Mom hired a P.I. who confirmed that yes, he is still in MD. The watch was given to her by her father, and while it is likely been pawned at this point, the value was roughly $1000. What legal course of action can she take? [link] [comments] |
Maintenance worker stomped my dad's Chichiuaua to death. Dad was not home at the time. Posted: 23 Jan 2020 06:59 PM PST My dad has...well...had a teacup Chichiuaua named Reece. She's lived in his apartment for the past 5 years. She is registered to the apartment and he pays extra for her to live there. Today, my dad was washing his cloths in the onsite apartment buildings laundry room. One of the maintenance guys was in the laundry room as well. My dad told the maintenance worker that he has been meaning to put in a maintence order because his furnace has not been working properly. The maintenance worker told him he would go check it out soon. According to my dad, the furnace is located outside of the apartment and in home maintenance cannot be done without a work order in place. About an hour later, my dad receives a phone call from his apartment's main office. They stated that the maintenance worker entered the home and was attacked by the dog. He claims that she bit him so, he pushed her off. The office was calling to let my dad know that Reece was not moving. [GRAPHIC details] My dad said the kitchen (where the maintenance worker entered) looked like a crime scene when he returned home. There was blood on the walls, the floor, the stove and the refrigerator. Reece was laying in a puddle of blood and her neck was clearly broken. He called the police to file a report. They took pictures. My questions: Do you think he has a case? Also, the apartment complex is through the local housing authority, would this have any legal impact. We are not sure what steps to take. He would like to seek legal counsel but is low on funds. We are not sure which direction to take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Edit: I am located in NC. Edit 2+: To correct spelling. I was working when i posted this and was typing quickly. Edit: Wow! Thank you for all of the feedback. I just got off of work. I will be speaking to my dad in a bit to discuss what we will do next. I will update you all when we start moving things along. Thanks again!!!! [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Jan 2020 02:40 AM PST So I went through a so called cremation service that is now charging me out the ass and will not tell me which funeral home in Colorado they took my father to. His remains are already in a high state of decay as he was missing for over a month. I would like to get him back but these scam artists are not responding. The area he lived in was very rural and had no funeral homes of its own so the coroner had suggested them. Is there anything I can do? [link] [comments] |
neighbor has a shed on my property Posted: 24 Jan 2020 07:52 AM PST We just moved in a few months ago and I noticed a small canvas type shed that is on my land. The paperwork from the sale stated that " no neighbor's property was on this parcel" or verbage to that effect. The neighbor is a nice guy and he probably had permission from the previous owner but what is the best course of action here? I want to get along with all my neighbors and the location of the shed doesn't bother me but worried about the long term legal exposure. Located in massachusetts [link] [comments] |

Posted: 23 Jan 2020 09:58 PM PST The notice says the property was acquired by a mortgage servicing company via foreclosure, and that I have 7 days from the receipt of the notice to vacate the premises. If I do not vacate within 7 days (5 of the time I have seen the notice, today) - a lawsuit may be filed against me for rental value, costs, etc. My understanding from http://www.law.alaska.gov/pdf/consumer/LandlordTenant_web.pdf is that the PTFA provides federal protections for 90 days from notice. My lease is month to month, but:
I'm going to call them first thing tomorrow, but I'm a little scared and shaky even though my legal ground seems absolutely solid. I'm searching for a new place to rent, but 5 days is really inhumane to pack up and move your house and I doubt I will have good options in that time period. My questions are:
The imminent deadline worries me because it gives me little to no time to communicate with the mortgage servicing company, their lawyers, etc. It's also in the negative digits outside :) The notice includes reference to A.S. 9.45.070
and A.S. 34.20.090(b)

Posted: 24 Jan 2020 08:23 AM PST I drive uber and I had a rider forget his bag in my car. He called me after his flight and wanted me to mail his bag and he would reimburse me. I explained I couldnt afford it and if he wanted to pay me via paypal I could update tracking. He wouldn't send the money, and he stopped communicating, so the bag sat in my closet unopened. Over a year later I cleaned out the closet and finally opened the bag. It contained a very expensive laptop and various cords and chargers. What do I do with this stuff? I no longer drive for the company and live more than 2 hours from a hub. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Jan 2020 01:14 PM PST Hello, first time posting. Sorry if this seems like a very basic or obvious problem (not sure if something like this is posted elsewhere). My mom bought investment properties in my name when I was 18 against my wishes. They are not particularly lucrative, but she has been collecting rent on them for my entire adult life (over 10 years). I have never seen these houses in person (five hours from where I live), and I have also never met the tenants. I am also not the one who receives the rent checks. But I do include the houses in my tax returns. She and I have a very bad relationship; I am mostly resentful over having this particular tie to her. I have asked her to transfer the ownership to her name many times over the past 10 years, but she flat out refuses, and usually ends up threatening me or using other manipulation tactics when I bring it up. I would like to sever this financial tie between us as a way to cut contact with her once and for all. I don't care about the money. I just want her out of my life. What is the best way for me to proceed in this situation? I'm thinking the most obvious thing to do would be to sell the properties and give her the cash from the sale. I'm sure she will put up a fight, so I am wondering what I need to do in order to protect myself legally. I am also really worried about the possibility of me having helped her commit tax fraud over the years. Thanks in advance for your advice. [link] [comments] |

Can my ex get child support from me when I have primary custody? Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:31 AM PST My ex and I split up last year. We were unmarried and have a 2 year old child together. After the split we agreed that I would take primary custody of our son with a split if 4 days with me and 3 days with her. This was agreed very quickly between us because I am much better with our son. My ex has never been very patient person and is not good with kids. When we split we also agreed we would not do child support and we would just cover expenses for when each of us have our son and that any overlapping ot major expenses we would split with me paying 2/3 and her paying 1/3. We are planning to go before a mediator to make everything official and avoid going to court. The issue comes now. My ex has just changed her mind and wants to come after me for child support. We live in Massachusetts and I make about 40k/year, she makes about 15k per year between work and child support from her ex before me. Even though I have primary custody and have our son 4 days to her 3, can she still get me for child support? TLDR; In the state of Massachusetts, can make ex get child support from me even though I have primary custody (4 day/3day split)? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:48 AM PST What do I do? I just received a call and I'm supposed to be there in an hour. Should I call the cops there? Should I accept a different car in return? Escalate this? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Jan 2020 10:18 AM PST So my wife works for Papa John's as a delivery driver. She was on a delivery and had a guy in a truck ride her ass, then drive around her left side (on a two-lane road) and smash into her, trying to push her off the road, then he ran. She followed him to get his license plate and other information if he would stop, and at one point he basically tried to play "chicken" with her in a neighborhood. She was on the phone with the police the whole time, even during the "chicken" incident, and gave the police the license plate. After that incident, she finally stopped following him once they got the license plate, and she spoke to an officer in person. While speaking to the officer in person, they caught him, gave him two tickets (One for "Fleeing the scene of an accident in which property damage occurred" and one for "Failure to maintain a single lane of traffic") I didn't know he got the tickets, and then a few days ago his insurance told my insurance that she was at fault for "Failure to maintain a single lane of traffic" (THIS IS BEFORE I KNEW HE GOT THE TICKETS) Today we hear from our insurance that it is now her at fault, and I would like to know my rights, because the police and the situation are on our side, but both of our insurance are saying she's at fault, despite the fact that he RAN from the incident. Edit for the bot: This is in Edmond, OK, USA [link] [comments] |
Boss says she wont pay me based on GA laws? Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:43 AM PST Hi everyone one! I worked for a woman for about 2 months doing retail work in her store, where I was the only employee. She only paid me for a week of work every 3 weeks during my time there which created a backlog where I was still owed for a full months pay. I quit without notice. She closed the store within a week of me quitting. By december 31 she had still not paid me for the whole month of November and when asked about it originally she said that she lost too much revenue to pay. Today when I asked again about my unpaid wages she said she had not been clear the first time and deducted the money she lost from the store closing from my wages since I didnt give a notice and that Georgia State law allows her to do this. I have contacted the GA department of labor for clarification but they have been particularly bad about getting back to me! Any clarification on if she has the rights to do this, or if I can still pursue this in court would be helpful to me! [link] [comments] |
Boss came to my moms house to make sure she is really sick. Is this legal? Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:46 AM PST My mom works a long term state based office job. She has been out of work all week extremely ill. She has been to the doctor three out of the last five days. She had been developing new symptoms daily and is teetering on the edge of needing to go to the hospital or not. She has gotten doctors notes on each visit. Midweek she was informed by her boss that she needed a DETAILED doctors note upon her return. Her doctor said outlining her condition on a note is illegal, and that it is illegal of the workplace to ask, and she wrote her number on the note for the job to contact her if need be and that she would reiterate, demanding details is illegal. Today my mother had yet another appt as even MORE symptoms appeared. She was not able to return to work as was expected. Her boss and her bosses boss CAME TO HER HOME to check on her. My father met them at the door and told them she was resting and unavailable and he would pass along their concern. They maintained that they were there out of concern for her, but I don't buy it. Over the last several months this boss has begun a campaign against my mother. She has been coming up with stupid reasons to discipline her, based on rumors and complaints with no proof, including writing her up for these ghost complaints, and warned that her job was in jeopardy. This boss is new, my mom has held her position for SEVENTEEN YEARS. She is three years from retiring with a pension. I would be honest if I felt my mom was screwing up but I know she isn't like that. She is meticulous with her job and has until now with this new boss been well liked and respected for her knowledge and experience. I want to help advise my mother how to protect herself here. I told her she should document via email that her boss and bosses boss came to her home, as I feel that is unacceptable, invasive, and I don't know if it's even legal? I told her she should also inform her union rep this happened. What else can she do to protect herself? in my opinion, her boss has been looking for a reason to fire her and I fear they are attempting to use this health crisis as an opportunity to do so.

Wife was paid the wrong salary all year. Can her company demand the money back? Posted: 23 Jan 2020 05:28 PM PST I was looking at my wife's W-2 and her wages seemed higher than they should have been. I had her show me a pay stub and it turns out she was paid 20% more than she thought she was making. She started this job this year after having our second child. She works four days a week. The email chain she has with her boss negotiating her salary shows them agreeing to a set salary and vacation amount prorated to four days per week. However, the official offer letter from her company (signed by my wife) shows her full salary and says she will work four days per week, but does not mention prorating the salary. It's mind boggling to me that her company sent her an incorrect offer letter and never noticed they were paying her too much (and that my wife never looked at her pay stubs). Can her company demand the money back, even though her signed offer letter reflects the salary she was paid? We live in New Jersey and she works in New York. Update: my wife spoke to her boss this morning and they are letting her keep all the money they paid her last year. Her boss is having a meeting with the CFO later today regarding how they should handle her pay moving forward. It seems like keeping her at the higher salary is on the table. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Jan 2020 12:01 PM PST I (37F) live in Delaware about 1.5 hours from Salisbury MD which is where my cousin (Marie 38) lives with her two children. I will call Susie (12) and Roger (16.) Last weekend on Saturday, I got a call that Susie has been making suicidal statements and cutting herself. My aunt and cousins thought I could help since I'm a therapist and Susie and I have a good relationship. I drove to pick her up and have her spend some time with me and the rest of our family in Delaware, which all live very locally near me. Marie is by herself in MD. So Susie reported that she has been in a relationship with a 20 year old man, who lives next door. This was proven by me faking as Susie in Snapchat conversations. They have not had sex but sexually provocative, kissing, sitting on lap, grabbing her butt, laying on his chest, cuddling. He reported on numerous occasions that he loves her and wants to be with her. The intent is clearly to have sex. I've reported this to her mother, Wicomico county children services, my local and state police. They literally don't care and I've been told in so many words, if they don't have sex they can't do anything. Local police said, hire a lawyer. So I've come here for advice, please assist.

Boyfriend’s work paying him late Posted: 24 Jan 2020 06:14 AM PST New York, NY My boyfriend works for a small company with probably 15-20 employees in NYC. The owner/founder takes care of pretty much everything managerial and financial. He has an accountant who handles payroll. My boyfriend is a part time, hourly employee. He is paid above minimum wage. I have two questions:
We will be moving in a couple of months and he will be leaving this job, so I am hesitant to do anything to cause him to lose the job or have reduced hours. I'm just not sure what we should do, or if he even has any sort of case in the first place. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
