    Legal Advice do I have to pay the scrapyard for my stolen car?

    Legal Advice do I have to pay the scrapyard for my stolen car?


    do I have to pay the scrapyard for my stolen car?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 05:18 AM PST

    So my car got broken into and the ignition switch was removed (someone tried to hotwire the car, but the car is unable to be hotwired). I had a friend (my girlfriends cousin actually) who offered to fix the car for free, I just had to buy the parts. I bought an ignition switch and key and towed the car to where he wanted (his parents house, outside the garage). After almost a week he said it needed one more part, which I purchased and gave to him. Another week goes by, with him making up excuses like it being cold so he didn't wanna work on the car. Finally on Fri I tell him he has taken too long and I wish to pickup my car now and I don't want him to fix it anymore. He tells me my car isn't where I left it and refuses to tell me where my car is. I call the police and a few hours after making a report the cop calls me and tells me he (my gf's cousin) had my car towed to a scrapyard and then sold it to the scrapyard simply by saying he owned it, had lost the title and was getting a duplicate one made. The cop also said what my gf's cousin did didn't constitute theft of my vehicle and the only thing I can do is sue him in civil court. However my question is this, was it legal for the scrapyard to purchase my vehicle from someone who was not the owner considering he had 0 documents proving he was the owner of the car. Basically are scrapyards required by law to verify car ownership before purchasing a vehicle? and if that is the case, will that absolve me from having to pay the scrapyard $175 to get my car back? ($125 for the money given for scraping it and $50 tow fee). This is in Berea KY usa.

    Charged $250 smoking fee for hotel stay, but we didn't smoke

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:13 AM PST

    Location: USA, Date: 2/29/20-3/1/20

    We woke up this morning to a $250 smoking fee for our hotel stay over the weekend. Neither of us smoke in any form and most certainly did not smoke this weekend. We called the hotel to see what was going on and ended up speaking with the manager who said she herself confirmed our room smelled strongly of marijuana. The smell must have occurred after we checked out, for we did not smell any marijuana smell when we did check out early around 10 am. They said they came up for cleaning around 11 am and that was when they noticed the smell.

    The manager said she would not reverse the charges and over-all was not willing to discuss anything further. We asked why no one called us or informed us (we only found out due to the final bill sent the next day) and she said it was because we had already checked out. They also said they had no physical proof other than the potent smell in our room.

    I read online I can try to dispute this with my credit card (Discover) which I intend to do, but they mentioned they can't do anything while the charge is pending and that we'd have to wait for it to clear.

    The part that makes me nervous is that we actually were staying at this hotel due to our wedding. The hotel hosted our wedding block and we put down a $1,000 deposit for damages outside the guest rooms (such as sound disturbance, damage to property, etc), but that guests were still responsible for their individual room damages. The group manager let us know this deposit would be returned within a couple weeks after our wedding weekend.

    I guess I'm just nervous to dispute the charge while they are still holding $1,000 from us. However, I don't want to sit on the charge either.

    Has anything dealt with this? What is the best course of action? Do we ask for written proof from the hotel? Should we back off until we get our $1,000 deposit back and then fight, or do we fight right away?

    I have to admit, I'm trying to stay positive and not let this get to me, but I've never been blatantly told I'm a liar before and it was a pretty upsetting thing to wake up to on the first day of our honeymoon!

    TLDR; Charged $250 for smoking fee in hotel. We don't smoke, but manager is not refunding us our money. Do we wait until we received back our deposit, or do we dispute the charge as soon as possible?

    School canceled trip to Greece but won't refund

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:30 AM PST

    For nearly two years now, we've been paying EF Tours for a trip to Greece for our 15 year old with her school. The total cost was around $5000. The superintendent has canceled the trip and won't be going but since the trip is in 7 days out, EF tours will not refund us and the school appears to take the position that it's out of their hands.

    I'm not sure why the superintendent needs to go for the trip to still be on, but apparently that's the way it is. I think he's worried about the Coronavirus or something.

    Anyway, what do I do? That's a lot of money and we are not rich people. It's been really hard saving all that money these last couple years.

    Edit: To be clear, EF tours is not the ones cancelling the trip. EF tours says the threat level is 1 and that they only refund under threat level 3. The school is the cancelling party here.

    The police won’t help me and I’m flat broke. My ex destroyed my only transportation.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 10:17 AM PST

    A few days ago I broke up with my ex. She's my upstairs neighbor. She came to my unit the night I broke up with her and threatened to break my motorcycle, was banging on my door and I got this all on video. That was wed, 5 days later I come outside and my motorcycle is TRASHED. She broke the ignition coil by hitting the handlebars while the handle bars were locked so the motorcycle will not start. She dented the gas tank, tipped my bike over and broke my clutch and shift lever. The bike isn't worth much and in my state anything over 60% of the value of the vehicle in damage makes a vehicle totaled. I called the cops this morning and told them I had her threatening to break my bike on video and they said without an eye witness or video there's nothing I can do. The officer said I could not take her to small claims court because it's a criminal case. I do not have renters insurance OR full coverage on my bike so I have no recourse to get my money back. Please help me I have no other transportation and I'm struggling financially. Please upvote this so someone with legal know how can help.

    College student getting wrongfully charged for party

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:58 AM PST

    I (M21) go to school at a big party school in Delaware. I rent a house that is connected to about 8 other houses in a long row with a massive backyard behind all of them with no fence dividing them, so this is a prime spot for day drinks. This past weekend there was a particularly big day drink happening (I'd say around 500 people). I was inside my house playing video games with my friends not participating in the day drink when someone told me that a cop was out front. I went out to talk with him because I did not want to seem suspicious by not going out and ignoring him and he said he was there to break up the day drink and took my ID. He had mentioned to someone else outside that it was all probably going to be just a warning, and I was not participating in the party so I assumed that it would be fine and didn't argue when he took the ID. When he went to the backyard he saw someone peeing in the way back on my property. We got everyone out of the back and he said he couldn't return my ID and that I had to come with him to his car. I was confused and my friends and I had a 10 minute rant with him explaining we were not the house hosting the day drink. We were not playing any music or supplying alcohol. We asked if he could go to one of the other houses and he basically told me that "it is what it is" and that "this is what's happening" so I was arrested. I am being hit with a disorderly on premises charge, and the summons says that I was playing loud music, there was litter on my property, and people were publicly urinating. I was not playing music in the backyard, and I cannot control when people at a massive party like that throw their trash wherever and pee on what happens to be my property. I am also very concerned because I just was offered an internship for this summer, and I am worried this will affect it, as well as how this could affect my standing as a student.

    What should I do about the charges? Should I contact my employer and explain the situation or just let it play out?

    TL;DR: college student, people in my backyard during day drink that I did not participate in, I am getting charged for it, worried this could affect summer internship

    Man child trying to mature, all my bank accounts are under my mom's name, signed a power of attorney with my mom and she won't remove it. What do I do?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:31 AM PST

    Title. Aspergers, man child. I want to become more mature, start saving, invest in the stock market, find avenues of growth, and move out of this godforsaken basement so I can get a life of my own. The problem with this is that my mom owns my account or my accounts are under her name. I receive SSI and I was told I don't have access to my savings because she's the beneficiary or something. What makes me suspicious is the lying. I've asked her on several occasions to remove the power of attorney and each time she says "Poof! It's gone" as if that's all it takes, except I caught her on one occasion in a lie and that the power of attorney was still infact in play. Now when I ask she tells me the lawyer is out of town. Seems fucking suspicious, and an attempt at stifling me and keeping me babied and under her and delaying my growth. Makes the whole, "wherever you go I'll be there." seem ominous. I just want to leave the nest, self assured and ready for life. If her parenting won't let me be ready for life, then let me at least leave the nest at least self assured and confident in myself.

    how do I get the power of attorney removed?

    [Ca] We just rented a house out, and found out that they are TWEAKERS. They have not signed a lease yet or moved in. My sister says we have to accept them or we can be sued. Please help!!

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:26 PM PST

    They were the first people to look at the home. I instantly could tell that they were drug addicts. The management company we hired said that we needed to get someone in ASAP (I agreed), and they said we needed those people to move in. I said NO, I do not want them living in my property. The people were moving so fast and talking so fast, and talking about knocking down walls and cutting down trees (I let them know that if they moved in, none of that was allowed). I talked to my sister that night (who knows a lot about real estate), and she says that the law (at least in California), states that you HAVE to approve the first qualified applicants that come along, and that you CANNOT deny them for any reason (or else you can get into legal trouble or be sued). She said that if we legally wanted to deny them, we would have to lie and say that we showed it to other people first and say that they got it and not them. PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I do not want these men and women renting my house. The management company already had them sign something (without my consent) although they have NOT signed a lease yet. Please help!!!!!!

    What should I do about this issue I'm having with Best buy?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:51 AM PST

    A few months ago I purchase a 77" OLED TV from Best buy, which cost me around $6K, and I returned the TV because of a defective HDMI port. Now, the TV I exchanged it for arrived with a ton of dead pixels, so naturally I attempt to return it. The manager says that due to me making two high value returns so close together, that they will have to send someone out to verify my TV is truly defective. The geek squad guy comes out and confirms that my TV is actually defective, he calls the manufacturer and shows them pictures, and they issued him a return authorization number. I go back to the store with the RA# and ask for the manager( who is the only one with the authority to fix this issue), and I'm told that he no longer works at Best buy, and that they don't have a new manager yet, and they can't do anything to help me, even though I did exactly as they as they told me. I also ordered another TV for my mom that they were unable to deliver because it went out of stock after I had ordered it. I went to the store and tried to cancel it, but they say they can't do that. They can't deliver it because they don't have it, and for whatever reason they can't or won't cancel it. They charged me for a TV that they can't deliver, and they won't refund me. The defective TV I tired to get the manufacturer to replace, but they say that since they issued a return authorization# that it is Best buy's responsibility, who won't do anything. What is my best course of action here? I'm in the U.S

    St Paul, MN. Soon to be ex-wife trying to prevent me from using my funds to support my aging mother - plans were made prior to the divorce filing.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:31 AM PST

    My wife of 13 months filed for divorce 3 months ago. I learned at that time that she had been seeing someone else, and she was leaving me for him.

    We have a joint bank account which my payroll is deposited into. She does not work. My lawyer advised me to not make any sudden changes to our financial process or my expenses, which I have abided by.

    Meanwhile, almost a year ago my mother began to have problems living alone. After much pushing she agreed to go into assisted living. We found a place and would have moved her in 5 months ago, but she broke a hip and ended up being in a skilled nursing facility for several months while recovering, after which she was cleared to go to assisted living. I finally got her moved in there a month ago. She has some income from my late father's social security and pension, but it does not fully cover the cost of her facility - there is a deficit of about $1100/month, which I can afford and am glad to pay for her to have a safe place where she is happy.

    My lawyer and I spoke about the plans for this with respect to the "sudden change in financial habits" matter and he said since plans were in place for this long before she filed for divorce, it would be a non-issue.

    However, my wife is now taking issue with it (even though she was fully involved in this process prior to filing). They have sent me two cease and desist letters saying that I need to immediately stop excessive spending over $1000/month for new expenses I have chosen to incur since her divorce filing as these expenses are "draining" our account, until our financial situation is finalized in the divorce. I did not stop (just went straight to my lawyer who has not been helpful) and now have a hearing set with a judge next week.

    My lawyer is being generally unhelpful. I have called, emailed and gone to his office and he has given answers that he needs to do some research, that he is going to consult with his colleague - but has given me no clear idea what to expect here and I am getting increasingly terrified. I can't have my mother thrown out of her care facility when I have more than enough money and income to keep her there.

    I had a meeting with a new lawyer Wednesday, which she has now moved to Friday, and I am panicking.

    Has anyone seen a case like this before? Inklings on how it will go?

    Is it sexual harassment to have pornography lying around apartment when maintenance comes

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:46 AM PST

    I live in an apartment in missouri with a roommate. He is kind of a neckbeard type and has a body pillow, naked statuette, and hang up nude images in his room. He recently put in a maintenance request for something in his room. I told him he should cover/hide all these objects as it would be human decency as well as avoiding any sexual harrassment claims. He says that I am being unnecessarily worried, but it really feels dicey at best. Would this actually be sexual harrassment if they were left out in the room hed be working in?

    My wife reported a RN and the nursing home is blaming her and other nurses are trying for revenge.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:06 AM PST

    My wife is a CNA at a nursing home in Arkansas. While taking care of a resident one of the nurses asked for 15 minute check ups on the resident. Protocol is to have the resident in line of site during this time. My wife and her partner moved the resident to the nurses station so that the nurse who ordered this could watch him while they continued to care for their other residents. As my wife is pushing the resident's wheelchair into position a male nurse told her to get the resident away from him and if he tried to hit him he would hit him back and end him. This is a big no no in the healthcare world, so my wife reported him. In Arkansas employers are not allowed to tell employees who reported them. This is to avoid revenge seeking and other harmful behaviors. My wife's employer told the nurse who reported him anyway, and he incited the other nurses to treat my wife like shit and get revenge( this was overheard by my wife's partner as the nurses was talking about what they would do). Then my wife's employer called her on her day off and berated her for reporting him saying it's a waste of time, he is a registered nurse and would never do anything like that, why are you making this up, you are just jealous and trying to waste time because you misheard him, and so on until I hung the phone up on them for her because she was in tears. How are they able to do this? What can we do to combat this? They didn't report the incident to the state board as they are supposed to, can we do anything? Is there any legal actions here?

    TLDR; My wife reported a nurse. It got swept under the rug and she got called a liar. Now the nurses are after her for revenge. What can we do?

    NJ - Was rear ended and now being told I am responsible for the storage fees ($1500) on the car that is totaled, because the other guy's insurance company took forever to look at the car since the person who hit me didn't report the accident.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:19 AM PST

    About 3 weeks ago I was stopped at a red light and a distracted driver rammed into the back of me and totaled my car.

    After waiting and waiting for his insurance company to come look at the car, I decided to go and buy my car out of the tow yard and have it towed to my house just so it wasn't accruing interest. I was told I have to wait until his insurance company comes and looks at it before I can take it. They came 10 days after the accident because they only found out he was in the accident when they got the call from the tow yard and then called him to question him.

    His insurance company now is stating that we must have the car moved from the yard before they take it, but now i can't afford to take it back because they waited too long.

    I just don't know what to do, my whole life has been suddenly flipped upside down, i'm injured and out of work and now without a car just because someone decided to not pay attention behind the wheel, and I feel like I am the one being screwed over in this situation.

    Neighbor wants me to remove my tree. (Australia, WA)

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 12:04 AM PST

    My neighbor wants me to remove a tree from my yard that has branches leaning over her property. Her only complaint is that it drops leaves and sticks in her yard and on top of the back of her shed. The tree is very large and there has been sheds build around it by previous owners so there is no way to access it to cut it down. Because of this I've been given a quote of 2k+ to remove it which is much more than I can afford. I've let her know that I'm financially not able to remove the entire tree and if she wants to remove branches from her side herself that's perfectly fine but she keeps coming and asking about it (almost 6 times in the last 3 weeks). It's gotten to the point where she has sent 3 different tree removal professionals (arborists?) to my house without my permission to give me a quote for the removal in the last 7 days. I'm starting to feel very harassed and confused about what I'm supposed to do.

    Do I have to pay to have the entire tree removed just because she wants it gone?

    [OR] Wife will be forced to take PTO (which she doesn't have any of) following trip abroad

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 12:26 PM PST

    My wife's company recently put out a notice stating that if anyone travels to a country with a Level 2 or 3 CDC warning, they will be forced to stay out of work for 14 days following the trip, using PTO if available and otherwise going unpaid.

    Currently, we have a trip planned for Japan at the end of the month that will take 2 weeks that my wife is already going to be using all of her PTO for, which doesn't even cover the entire trip. This means that if we go (which we were planning on unless the CDC's warning was raised to level 3), she will essentially be going for 3 weeks without any pay. We planned this trip 7 months ago, and had all of the bookings for it done before the Coronavirus situation started.

    Is there anything in Oregon law that would make this unlawful, or are there any actions we can take in response to this?

    Wife's former employer did not withhold Medicare & Social Security & now wants us to pay them back to get a corrected W2

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 05:14 AM PST

    Edit Location:Columbus, OH

    I posted this on /r/personalfinance last week, and someone suggested I crosspost it here.

    +++

    I know I saw a thread on essentially this exact topic a week or so ago on /r/personalfinance, but for the life of me I can't find it. And at the time I remember thinking, thank God that didn't happen to us! Joke's on me...

    My wife worked for a law school last year, and when I started filing our taxes, I discovered that they did not withhold her Medicare or Social Security taxes for the year. She called them and they said that they had just forgotten to update her from a student worker when she worked for them during law school, to an actual employee after she graduated. I was bummed with how much it torpedoed our return, but whatever. It's money we owe anyway.

    Flash forward to today, and now they are telling us to reimburse them the money for what should have been withheld, and they will then give us a corrected W2. She says it's around $800 they are asking for. We have the money, but it would be difficult for us to just fork it over all in one big chunk right now. Are there any options where they can give us the corrected W2, and we reimburse them once our taxes are filed and we get the return? I should mention, I have NOT finished filing our taxes yet; I stopped as soon as I noticed the discrepancy with her SS/Medicare taxes.

    Being stalked at my house in Philadelphia

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:57 AM PST

    I've been receiving creepy romantic gifts from someone for a couple weeks now. No name is left, they're being left on my porch in the middle of the night after I've gone to bed. It only occurs when I'm home alone as it ceases when I've had visitors spend the night on weekends. I'm concerned someone is aware I live alone and is capitalizing on that and watching for when i turn lights out to leave stuff.

    At this point nothing has escalated beyond the gifts and creepy notes, but I'm aware this is a sign of stalking and it can escalate quickly. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

    I've already filed a police report so it's on record, knowing there wasn't much they could do. I've installed a security camera on my porch and have a security system.

    Are there any relevant tenant laws that could help me out of my lease? It's a high crime area I moved to with a former roommate. I no longer feel safe given the stalking and being alone. Would a letter from an attorney to the landlord do any good?

    Landlord Ignored My Attempts to Recover Security Deposit, then Threatened to Countersue when I mentioned Small Claims Court after 30 days. (USA, Missouri).

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 12:41 PM PST

    Occurred in Missouri, United States.

    I moved out on February 1st. I have in writing (text) that the landlord will return my deposit 30 days after move out. Over the last month, I have attempted to contact landlord 6 times via different methods, mainly text, and he has not responded. Today, I cited Missouri Tenant Laws which state he has 30 days to return my deposit with a list of deductions, and he has not fulfilled that duty.

    He responded (for the first time in 30 days) with a long list of "issues" that he claims outweigh the cost of the deposit. He also says that since I moved out ON February 1st rather than BEFORE February 1st, I also owe an additional month of rent (which has never asked for before this). He indicated he intends to now sue me in small claims court. I feel I am in the right and that his "damages" are fabricated, but I'd honestly prefer to just let this die rather than drag it out in court. However, that may not be an option anymore.

    I have two specific questions:

    1. Is he legally correct that I owe the additional month of rent? He made no comment about it in the last month, and I have not been on the premises.

    2. Is there any legal benefit to me filing my claims FIRST? I'm on the fence because I may just wait until he files a claim against me and at that point I would counterclaim for the deposit. But it sounds like if I file the claim, he will counterclaim and make it a whole battle.

    [VT] I am attempting to change companies but am unsure of this non-compete clause. I cant work in ANY state that currently has an office or clients from my current employer? Which is everywhere... is this legal?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 06:12 AM PST

    Im attempting to move companies within the same field. The field is relatively small eith only a few companies which makes the non'competition confusing. I'm having difficulty understanding the verbage and what it implies:

    "Non-Competition: You acknowledge that in the course of your employment with COMPANY you will learn and have access to COMPANY trade secrets and with other Confidential Information (as defined below) and that your services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to COMPANY. During your and for a period of one (1) year following the termination of employment for any reason (collectively, the "Restricted Period"), you agree not to, on your own behalf and on behalf of or in connection with any individual, business, or any other entity or organization (hereinafter a "Person"), directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever (including as an employer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder or other equity holder, independent contractor, distributor, consultant, supplier or by or through any Person) in any state win which COMPANY is conducting or operating its Business on the date of your termination (the "Territory") own, manage, operate, control, be engaged in, permit your name to be used in connection with, have any financial or other interest in or be otherwise commercially involved in, any endeavor, activity or business which is in competition with the Busiuness or any part of it, or provide any service to any business or Person engaged in the Business; provided, however, that nothin contained herin shall be deemed to prohibit your from acquiring as an investment not more than three percent (3%) of any class of securities of a public company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may deliver services in the Business directly to an employer as an internal employee."

    From my understanding, it sounds as if I cant take any job in a state that my current company has an office or client, which is literally everywhere in the US. This essentially would mean I cannot work in my field for a year if I ever left the company.

    Harassment Warning by Police?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 02:13 PM PST

    Okay, so last night I was out with my buddy, and I get a call from "No Caller ID" i ignored the first call (as I usually don't answer calls from this, and they called again, so I picked up to a pair of police officers informing me that they had a complaint from a girl (who lives in another state) that I was harassing her, and informed me that they were giving me a warning. I was honestly quite confused and asked who it was about. Turns out, it was a girl I used to know years and years ago that I added on Snapchat the other day. Keep in mind I haven't talked to this girl since high school and we had no bad blood. I thought it would be cool to see what she was up to all these years later, but I wish I would've never clicked "Add". During our convo she starts accusing me of being a creep and starts claiming a lot of other things that I have never done to her. Then she screenshots the chat, informed the police of my Snapchat username and told them I was harassing her. See, I have a problem with this. I #1 did nothing to this girl, and she lives hundreds of miles away. How in the ever living **** am I supposed be okay with feeling like I was being punished for nothing that could even be considered harassment. They told me to leave her alone which I said "no **** Sherlock" because it's completely ridiculous. Now I'm just confused because I don't need this ridiculous "warning" on some sort of record and I'm trying to find another job. I'm 22 years old and do NOT need this BS in my life. Just do me a favor, and watch out for who you are truly talking to. And when I brought up the point to the cops about "this event happened 2 nights ago, it didn't even happen tonight" they even said quite on quote "yeah I'm not sure why it's coming now. Just don't contact her". Wtf???

    (Georgia, USA) Someone fixed my roof and four different companies are billing me.

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:27 PM PST

    See title. Some wind damage occurred to my roof, so I called around and got some prices from four different roofing companies. They all agreed to come take a look but I never signed any sort of contract.

    My wife came home and noticed the gate to the backyard was open so she went back there and the roof was fixed. No note was left, neither of us received an email or phone call or text letting us know it was done.

    Fast forward a few days and now I have bills from four different places all claiming they did the job. I do not have any surveillance cameras on my property.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction as to whom I need to call or speak to? I really can't afford 4 roofs.

    Hi!

    I have a video that i unfortunately licensed to Defy Media. But they went under half and a year ago.

    Not sure where Break.com fit into this, but they I think they are or were from the same mother company. They haven't responded to anyone of my emails.

    I have several videoes but this one is one of the most requested. What can I do when no one is the to claim the video - but others want to show it?

    Ex girlfriend emails my prospective company to paint me as a bad person so I don’t get hired

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:45 AM PST

    Basically what it says in the title. We broke up, and now as revenge she emailed the company I interviewed with to tell me how terrible of a person I am to prevent me from getting the job. Do I have any legal grounds here?

    Note: we have no history of domestic violence or legal issues together. She's just questioning my character to them. Could it be libel/defamation or something else?
