| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:52 AM PST ( TEXAS ) I went straight to the police station once I could and was able to file a police report and made sure to get a copy of everything. I proceeded to call Amazon this time rather than chat and make sure to explain everything to them in detail and also include the fact that I had filed a police report and was able to get them to refund my money. I just want to thank everyone who commented especially those who advised me to file a police report and to call rather than chat with them ( I feel it really made a big difference ). Thank you so much for all the advice and I wish you all a Happy New Year! [link] [comments]  |
| Working as a caregiver. Have been abandoned at work due to the holiday. What can I do? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 12:14 AM PST California. Ive already decided I'm putting in my two weeks as soon as literally anyone gets here. Other events have lead to this but this is the final straw. My coworker never showed up to work at 11pm. I texted my boss. She said she would text our other boss to come in. And then nothing. It's been an hour. I missed fucking New Years. And my boss finally responded to my texts again now that the festivities are over. Saying she's not available and our boss has a headache. What can I do? I can't leave. That's illegal a la elder abandonment. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 09:46 AM PST In the summer I applied for a lab assistant job for Public Health England after graduating, advertised as £18,879. I got the job, and soon later had my conditional job offer later. This stated my salary as a basal salary of £18,879, with a Market Pay Supplement (MPS) of £3,021, boosting my total salary to £21,900. Obviously I was very happy with this salary, and wasn't totally expecting it. But a quick google told me that Public Health England often uses MPSs to bump up the pay of employees without changing their pay band grade. And lets face it... if you get offered a job for a few thousand a year extra wouldn't you just take it!? Soon after that my unconditional job offer and contract arrived for me to sign, again, with the total salary stated as £21,900. (I also started around the same time as a few others, and we discussed the MPS and they too (same job as myself) received it and were on the same salary as me, so I assumed it was the norm.) Fast forward 4 months and the big boss calls me into his office. He explains that they made a mistake and have been paying me, along with a few others, the salary of an associate practitioner (band above my job). My actual salary should be around 18k. I reluctantly said they could change my salary, knowing fully well that they would literally fire me in a heartbeat and have me replaced within a few days if i argued it! But straight off the bat I told him that I didn't see how legally I owe Public Health England ANY money because they were simply paying me the amount stated on my contract. . You can change my contract to lower my salary, but you have no right to make me pay back additional money on top of taking a pay cut for a mistake that you made. Not to mention I moved to a new city for this job, rented a house etc and planned financially around the salary stated in my offer letters. He seemed to be on my side when I said I don't intend to pay anything back, and put me in a email chain with someone from payroll and HR, prompting them to email me with relevant policies that would explain why/why not I would need to pay back anything. He also said I should receive a formal letter stating what has happened, how much I supposedly owe them, and offering ways to pay it back. Fast forward a few weeks, no one emailed me. I received no letters or anything. We get paid a couple days early for Christmas (fab timings right?), and I check my paycheck to find that they deduced £200 from it! They removed the 'Market pay supplement' part of my paycheck and put an 'Gross Overpayment' bit in of like £1,200. But my stated salary, pay band etc was all the same. So my contract hasn't changed, they just literally took money away. So I absolutely kicked off and sent a very angry email to the chain my boss put me in basically saying: - I never agreed to paying back any money - you didn't contact me offering me a way to a) even pay it back or b) how to pay it back - If you want to deduce my salary, send me a new contract THAT I CAN AGREE TO AND SIGN - Again, I'm not paying for a mistake that you made by writing my contract incorrectly. To this I get an email back from someone else in HR, briefly saying sorry you weren't contacted and attaching the relevant policies. The attached document is 'Public Health England: Overpayments and Underpayments of salary to PHE employees'. Straight away, it says 'The definition of an overpayment is where an employee is paid an amount in excess of contractual entitlement.' and then proceeds to give examples of overpayment cases, not remotely similar to mine, because according to this definition I HAVEN'T BEEN OVERPAID and therefore don't owe them any money back, because they were indeed paying me according to contractual entitlement. Also, it also stated 'PHE always will work, in the first instance, with an employee to negotiate a reasonable period of repayment.' which they clearly did not do, do don't even appear to follow these rules themselves. Sorry for the long post, but I would really appreciate some advice here! Am I in the right here? Did they have a right to reduce my pay for the month without telling me? I return to work tomorrow, so I will email back stating that the policies sent to me aren't even relevant, so please again explain to me why I should be paying you anything. If it escalates I can't afford a lawyer, but would I have a case? Any free services out there that might help? (I intend on finding my union rep tomorrow!) IN SUMMARY: My employer hired me on a contract of £21,900. They said they made a mistake and I should be getting paid £18,500. They want me to pay back what they have overpaid me in the past few months since starting, even though they were simply paying me the amount stated in my contract. This paycheck, they deducted £200 without telling me (no changed signed contract, no contacting me to agree to this). Am in in the right here? HELP! [link] [comments]  |
| [PA] My roommate moved out while I was away and intentionally made a massive mess as "revenge" Posted: 01 Jan 2020 05:52 AM PST I (and my neighbors) have had a lot of conflict with this roommate, and it ended with them nearly being evicted but agreeing to peacefully move out instead. I left for the holidays on the 10th, and came back last night to a disgusting mess. Much of it is definitely intentionally, but I'm not sure how to prove it. Basically, they left about 8 extra large trashbags (a few containing food waste and leaking), their room has about 2 litter boxes' worth of dirty cat litter, and a bunch of loose scattered trash. They also raided everything I had left in the pantry. Worst part: they covered the toilet seat, lid, and floor in excrement and intentionally clogged it (lots of paper in there). Since it's NYD, maintenance won't come until tomorrow to scope it out. I think the maintenance crew should clean this and charge the roommate for the cleanup, and the on-call maintenance person seemed to agree but wasn't sure what the policy was. Is there legal action I can personally take against them here? Should I call the police? I documented everything, and haven't cleaned anything yet. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 11:37 AM PST This is in Arizona, United States. Neighbors had a water line burst around Christmas. They are around the corner from us, our house is on a shared lot with a shared driveway. Water line is on their side of the meter so neighbors are responsible for handling the repair, not the city. Their pipes run from their house, through another neighbor's backyard, through our shared driveway, and into another yard where the meter is located. They have hired a person who seems less-than-qualified. He came into our driveway and marked the area that will need to be trenched, taking our driveway away from us for an unspecified amount of time. Additionally, they said they are not working with the city at all. This means no permits, no assurance that our foundation or piping will be safe, and nothing in writing in regards to our driveway or permits for street parking during construction. I am not sure who to contact in regards to guaranteeing the safety of our property, or what I need to do to make sure the neighbors handle this through proper, qualified channels. What are the laws regarding this type of work and how do I solidify our property safety and financial safety in case they mess something of ours up? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 01:30 AM PST I don't want to go into details at all, but it was a $30,000 bail. He committed suicide earlier this week. It was my families savings. Will they be able to get the money back or will the court keep it? [link] [comments]  |
| [WA] I'm working 50 hours a week with no overtime due to a loophole. Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:33 AM PST I'm a cook for a high end retirement home. I've been with the company for 4 months. They have 3 different buildings all within a few miles of each other, and each with a kitchen. 3 days a week I work in one building for 10 hours a day and two days a week I work in another building for 10 hours a day. I get paid out of different accounts for each building, but my boss is the same guy no matter where I work and the CEO is the CEO no matter where I work. Is this illegal? They won't let ANYONE work overtime, but we don't have enough staff for all three buildings so several of us float like this and don't get overtime for it. Edit: We have all been told each building is a different buisness so it's legal. [link] [comments]  |
| Friend borrowed $7000, not answering after contracted time Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:56 AM PST I lent my friend $7000 in return of $8000 in one month. I really trusted her and she seemed like she could sincerely use the money. It's been a month and she won't return my text messages or phone calls. I do have text messages on my phone saying that I wire transferred the money and she texted back saying "okay, I will give you the money back asap". Verbally we agreed on one month. Since she and I work at the same place, I will run into her at some point next week. Is it possible for me to record our verbal conversation on my phone if I am the one talking to her? I live in Virginia and she lives in Maryland. I know that it's legal in Virginia but not in Maryland. Because she lives in Maryland, I would have to go to small claim court in Maryland and I don't want them to deem my recording as illegal even when it's legal in Virginia. Our place of employment is Virginia. To make it simple: I reside in Virginia (recording legal), we work in Virginia, she lives in Maryland (recording requires consent from all parties), need to go to small claims court in Maryland. Also, I keep saying I'm gonna go to small claims court but does this circumstance qualify for that ? I am so upset. I just got married, my dog unexpectedly died and now I have so many huge vet bills, and my grandmother is on the verge of dying and I need the finances for her funeral. This all happened within a month. I don't even want the friggen interest. I just want the original $7000 back. Please advise me. I really appreciate in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 04:37 AM PST I don't even know if this is possible. But I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. When I was 13 years old, 20 years ago, my family/household was the subject of a scandal. It was a murder-suicide situation. (My parents. Mom killed dad, then herself.) At the time the police believed my older sibling to be involved and there was an article published by the local newspapers saying just that. That my older sibling was under investigation relating to the deaths of our parents. This is because sibling was overheard bragging that he found our parents gun days before the incident. (Sibling was cleared later and we have both moved on from this tragedy.) I was also named in the article. A one off line to the effect of "Smith's younger sister Jane Smith (13) was present at the time of the slaying and authorities state she has been questioned." To be perfectly honest I haven't even thought about this article in many years. And like I said with a lot of hard work in therapy I have moved on. Well... someone who believes I have wronged them bad dug up this article and is using it to harass me on social media. This person is intentionally giving misleading information, going so far as to claim that I am responsible and the authorities are currently investigating me. (They are not. I was a witness and a victim and that was proven beyond reasonable doubt many, many years ago. And yes, I have access to a copy of the police report proving that.) There were a lot of other articles published at the time regarding my parents deaths. Small town sensationalism. Those all seem to be missing from online sources. But this one, with my name in it, seems to still be in circulation and easily found online. I would like to reach out to the publication and request that they simply remove my name (and my sibling who was also a minor at the time) from the article. Or, remove it altogether but I know that is highly unlikely. However I am concerned that they might publish something saying 20 years later I'm still being harassed etc over it. Do I have any recourse? And if I do what is my best avenue? What about in regards to the person using it to harass me? Can I legally get them to stop? Location is North Carolina. [link] [comments]  |
| My mother's boyfriend wants power of attorney Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:57 PM PST I'm not really versed at all in this and Google is really overwhelming right now, sorry if this is really obvious. I'll try to keep it short. My mother is on her death bed and is completely unresponsive. The doctors said she's likely not going to make it through the night. Her boyfriend told me he wants power of attorney over her so he can cancel credit cards and get her affairs in order. He said that will automatically fall to me since I'm her oldest son. We've already made plans with a funeral home and know her wishes as far as deathcare goes. He did make a good point, that he knows her affairs leagues better than I do, as they've been together for about a decade and we haven't been very close for some time. He is really broken up about this but is very drug dependant and I do not trust him at all with her finances. My main question is, if I give him power of attorney, could he use that to screw over the rest of my family? What specific powers would that give him? I don't trust him, but I really don't want to screw him over and leave him with her bills/arrears and whatnot. I don't know if she has a last will or what she had planned for dispersal of her belongings. Would he be able to change it or if none exists could he make himself the sole beneficiary? Same with life insurance, I'm not sure if she had it, but if she did could he so something with that? Edit: We live in Florida [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 09:30 AM PST As victims of this person have come forward, more and more incidents are coming to light. Specifically lots of unwelcome touching and a couple of incidents that rise to assault. This moderator has used their position in the subreddit to silence complaints and discussions about this problem and in at least one instance directly threatened to ban a victim from the subreddit and meet-ups if they did not remain silent about the assault. The police were contacted about one incident, but they said that while charges could be pressed, without direct evidence or witnesses there's little chance of much coming from it. Their opinion was that the issue would be better addressed within the subreddit and meetup group. Since then the moderator team of the subreddit has been contacted by multiple people regarding their unpleasant experiences with the person in question. The mod team response has amounted to, "this person does the bulk of the subreddit moderation so we're not going to address their behavior." At this point, over half a dozen victims have come forward. The question is, if all of the victims went to the police and pressed charges together would that make for a stronger case? Also, are the other moderators or the site itself potentially liable for leaving this person in a position to victimize others as they use the subreddit and meet-ups to find victims?

| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:22 AM PST -update: this is in NY, United States. - A family member has power of attorney and executor of estate over their parents and their actions are becoming questionable quickly. I'm just looking for some affirmation that legal services should be contacted and the situation contested or looked into. The POA/EOE has somehow managed to get this position after causing a lot of disruption in the entire family, crazy stuff like freaking out at weddings and bullying a disabled pregnant woman. Somehow the situation has escalated to the point where they have moved in with their parents, disconnected the phone line, bought two cars (neither parent can drive and this person uses one of the cars daily). They've told all of their siblings that they are not to visit their parents because they are bullying her and have been for years. Cousins and children have had to drop in to make sure they're still alive because she's taken their cell phones or asked them not to respond, it's unclear which. To my knowledge, this person is selling off family assets and not discussing these decisions with anyone other than the individuals they have the power over and now live with and seem to control. This is very concerning to me because I know what the far end of crazy looks like for this person and its not good. I'm trying to get some help explaining how and why this should be looked into sooner than later. I'm no lawyer, but this situation sounds like an over reach of power or possibly worse. Thanks for any help! [link] [comments]  |
| [Ontario] What age can a child refuse to see their Dad (custody issues) Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:21 AM PST TLDR Can my 14 year old decide not to see his Dad, we have shared custody, I have primary residency and ex has liberal and generous access My son is 14 and increasingly does not want to spend time with his Dad. We have been separated for 2 years and he sees his Dad once every 3-4 weeks. Our separation agreement says that my ex has « liberal and generous access » and not a set schedule. When we first separated my ex was really angry and would yell at my son - a lot. He was physical with him once. CAS was called twice and since then I think my ex has tried to be better. He recently moved in with his girlfriend, which is almost two hours away, so when the kids (I have three) visit their Dad the have to miss any activities they are in. My son says that since he has been with gf his Dad doesn't yell as much. But, in his words, being ok now doesn't make up for being an asshole for years. The kids spent Christmas with their Dad and his gf and they came back with the following story. My ex's gf has a bound book of PlayBoy magazines. It's her tradition to have people write their name in the book and indicate which page is their favorite girl. They gave my son the book to take to his room and write his favorite. My two girls, 12 and 9 also saw the book. I'm pissed with the lack of judgment and would be happy for my son to not be around them anymore. I had always tried to encourage my son to make an effort to make peace with his dad. It now I'm ready to let him make the decision not to see him. The catch is my son really doesn't want me to say anything to his dad about the playboy book. He's afraid of his reaction. So my question is can I say that my son doesn't want to visit and not provide a reason? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor tore down back fence, parking in their front yard and moved a huge RV into backyard Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:37 AM PST We just had a new neighbor move in and they immediately covered the windows with newspapers, started parking in their yard, filling their trash so full that when the truck picks it up trash goes everywhere and it's all over the street, all kinds of stuff. I've never seen the same person going in this house, always different people. The other day while my roommate was showering someone came in our house, then immediately left. (Our Ring battery was being charged so we didn't see who it was) I assumed it was someone that meant to go next door but got confused. I went over there that night to ask them about it and the smell of weed hit me before I got to the patio. I'm not against weed, but holy hell it was strong. They didn't speak English well and didn't really understand my question about the person coming into our house so I just let it go. But yesterday. They tore down the back fence, they've parked cars back there and now have a HUGE RV parked right next to our fence. I don't wanna come off as a Karen here but we just did a ton of work on the backyard, just to have to see this huge, old, dirty RV as a direct focal point. We're in Texas if that helps. I just worry a bit about my roommate being here alone, and some sort of retaliation if we do take action here. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Dog was attacked this morning by another dog in North Carolina. Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:52 AM PST My wife was walking with her mother in law this morning with our dog and 4 month old son. A dog was accidentally let out of the house several houses down from us and pretty viciously attacked my dog. While this dog attacked our dog my wife and the girl who's dog it was started screaming which cause the people from the neighbors house to come running out. While this was happening the girl whose dog it was stated that her dog did it again. Implying he has attacked other dogs in the pass. We have found out that the owners of the dog were visiting the neighbors and are originally from South Carolina. They offered to pay the hospital bills to my wife but when I spoke to the father I told him his dog should be put down or I was going to come after them for negligence. They have ceased contact now and have refused to provide there address in South Carolina. I have had an aggressive dog in the past and I knew to never let that dog get loose because I knew the consequences. I am upset about the dog but even more upset it could have attacked my little boy. Since it is New Years animal control is closed and we were instructed to contact the police by the animal hospital which we have done. They are going to follow up with animal control tomorrow. The issue is the owners of the dog will be leaving tonight we believe. I have a close college friend who is an attorney in a different state and he told me that my legal recourse in his state would be to actually sue the property owners and their insurance would be held responsible but he wasn't sure about NC law especially with the person of ownership isn't from NC. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or advice for next steps. I also apologize if I made a mistake in my post. I am long time reader but have literally had no reason to post before today. Thanks for any advice. [link] [comments]  |
| My sister had to file a restraining order on her husband which he will be receiving tomorrow. Posted: 31 Dec 2019 11:24 PM PST My sister is serving her borderline psychotic husband who was making death threats to her, a restraining order that he'll receive tomorrow. There's no telling what he'll do. He's very unstable and unpredictable and he has access to guns. What can we (her family) do to help keep her and her two young children safe? What measures can we take? My sister doesn't know that i'm on here asking for advice. I'm just feeling very unsettled and worried for what lies ahead. Also if this isn't the area or place to ask for advice on a subject like this please direct me to an area where I will be able to. We're in Michigan [link] [comments]  |
| Transfer ownership of home from parents to child Posted: 01 Jan 2020 12:01 PM PST Looking for advice on the best way to become the owner of my parents house and avoid uncle sam in the process. My parents have moved into another house they own, and I am buying their old houses, and currently living in it. They moved out in June, and I've been paying them $1000/mo via automatic transfers through our credit union, on top of a couple larger transfers. House is worth approximately $200k but we agreed on a sale price of $160k. I have paid them $47k so far. I believe they owe a small amount on the mortgage still (less than $10k). This is all new to me, but is it possible to add my name to the mortgage/deed/title and eventually down the road have their names removed? Would it be better to pay off the mortgage before adding my name? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| I suspect a person in my family tried to take a loan out under my name. What are my legal options? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 03:09 AM PST I live in Illinois and today I received a message from a "Netcredit" on my Gmail informing me that my credit application loan was denied. I will attempt to further investigate where this came from, but I suspect that this is my scheming Stepmother who has been having trouble with finances and just had a falling out with my father over something serious. The loan was attempted on the 24th of December and I fear that this might not be the last time she attempts something like this. What are my legal options if I catch her in the act?

| Can a $150k inheritance eliminate the need for my father to pay spousal support? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 01:14 PM PST I'm in GA. 10 Years ago, after being married for 25 years, my dad had an affair that resulted in a child and my parents separated. My dad moved across the country to OR for a job(he has been renting there for the last 10 years) and to be near his new child. My parents always had a lot of debt so nothing was done with a lawyer. My dad continued to pay the mortgage on the house in GA and send my mom $1100 a month for utilities and living expenses. He also sends money for child support for her new daughter but I think that is also done under the table. My father currently makes about 120k and a few years ago both my parents started collecting social security. My mom has had severe depression and anxiety her whole life and that combined with never working while they were married, made it tough for her to find a job after the separation. She eventually got into substitute teaching but after just a few months, her mother fell and started needed taking care off. My mother spent the next 10 years taking care of her mother, resulting in moving in with her for the last year of her life. Her mother died a month ago and my mom will be inheriting about $150k in assets. My father now wants to decrease the amount he is sending my mom, because he expects her to now find a job soon and because of the money she is inheriting. I think it is very unrealistic to expect her to find a job. The only job she's had in the last 40 years is substitute teaching and that's all she'd probably be able to find again. Substitute teacher just make a little above minimum wage and it's not a full time job. But more importantly, I'm also wondering if he has been taking advantage of her by only paying her $1100 a month in spousal support over the last ten years since he makes $120k and collects social security. But I'm also wondering if her recent inheritance would significantly decrease the spousal support he would be obligated to pay if they got a divorce. The main 2 assets they share are the mortgage which I think has about $100k in equity and his retirement account, which I would guess is probably $100k-$200k. He was never good at saving and he had to live off his retirement account for a couple years in the early 2000s. So I guess my question is, factoring in his income, the $150k inheritance and his other child support obligation, is the $1100 spousal support low, average or high? Should my mom look into a divorce to get what she is owed, or is she actually owed a lot less now than she has this inheritance? My father is 71 and my mother is 67. [link] [comments]  |
| My ex-girlfriend filed a restraining order against me and lost. How do I get it erased? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:50 AM PST A while back my mentally ill ex-girlfriend went to war with me and tried to "cancel" me after a small fight got escalated out of proportion. One out of many of her tactics was to try and get a restraining order against me, despite the fact that I hadn't contacted her neither physically or electronically for months. She claimed that I was sexually, physically, and emotionally abusive. She painted herself as the ultimate victim and me as a monster who was out to kill her, basically escalating as high as she could to get the court to grant the request for order. She had zero evidence for all of this, the judge saw right through her, and he denied the request for order. A search on the county website with my last name will reveal that I went through this. If someone is curious enough, I believe they can get a transcript of the hearing. Even though I "won" (didn't lose), I obviously look pretty bad with all the slanderous comments made against me in the transcript. I am about to graduate from school and want to apply for jobs. How can I get all of this erased? My $650/hr lawyer is worthless and basically ghosts me any time I want something done. This is in California. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:51 AM PST Hi all, this is my first post here (and on Reddit in general), so hello! A bit of context: I live with three roommates, but all were out of town for the holidays between the 20th of December and today. We are all in our early 20s and this is our second apartment (third for two of my roommates). We've had to request maintenance several times this season for heating issues (I live in Wisconsin). Our heater was fixed several weeks ago and we haven't had problems since. I was in my apartment the morning of the 23rd, and heard a strange noise from my kitchen. I found a maintenance man looking around, wondering where our basement was to check our heater. It wasn't an emergency and I was told they were simply checking. None of us gave any approval, made a request (written, verbal or otherwise) or were notified of a maintenance visit happening that day. It also wasn't an emergency. I just want to know, is this legal? My gut and my hour of research says no, but I wanted to check here before sending an email or visiting their office to talk about this. Here's the email I have drafted up. Sorry for any format problems this post might have (I'm on mobile). EDIT: removed section of post asking for review of communication [link] [comments]  |
| NYC: Unpaid Wages from Non-Profit Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:29 AM PST My wife and approximately 50 people in her position (Teaching Artists) were told to not report to work with 12 hours notice. These Teaching Artists work in schools throughout the city, typically for a "class period" or two, enacting drama to help with social and emotional learning for adolescents. The artists are paid bi-weekly, for the previous pay period's hours work. Essentially they were all told to stay home the evening of December 11th, as all funding (grants etc) were "exhausted", and the company would no longer exist. They were not paid on December 15th for accumulated hours ending Nov 30th, and unsurprisingly not paid December 31st for services btwn 12/1 - 12/15. Wife has already begun unemployment benefits, I thought I would ask you good folks here at r/legaladvice your thoughts on anything further she and the other artists can do to possibly recoup their monies owed.

| Question on Company car after being laid off (California) Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:47 AM PST Happy new year everyone. This is my situation. I had a salary position and part of my compensation was a company vehicle, for which I paid out a small portion of my check each pay period to use. I did not pay insurance, maintenance, or gas. I had a fleet services card which the third party fleet services was used to pay for all the aforementioned. I was laid off, as was my boss, in early November of 2019. My bosses boss, who laid us off, told us both in front of each other to continue to drive our company cars until the third party fleet services contacted us to collect them. Now I am nearing 2 months unemployment and I have heard nothing about returning the car, however I have been still driving it. I use my own money to put gas in it rather than the fleet services gas card I had. Am I responsible legally for the car? As far as liability, storage, etc? Can they take any legal recourse against me if they do not try to reach out and get the car sooner than later? I have brought up that they still haven't come for the truck towards the end of November to the boss who laid me off, coincidentally when he offered my job back to me, which I declined.
