| Posted: 08 May 2020 05:46 AM PDT The company I work for is shutting down it's plant in a little over a month. I am an electrician and I had to provide personal tools. We are now being told anything that wasn't checked in when we came to work they won't let us take home. This isn't good for me because my entire tool set was never checked in. No one said their was an option to do this. They also bought me replacement tools over the years. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 May 2020 09:10 AM PDT I posted that the other day but removed it because it was not clear, sorry for that. So my father married his second wife (not my mother) in 2006. In the summer of 2012 she died in an accident. They didn't have children together. She had a will and let my father the house where they lived, which was entirely hers, some land and most of her possessions as well as money. The estate was probated. My father then died in 2017. As his only son I inherited the house that his second wife left him, the land and money. My father's second wife had two sisters. Unbeknownst to me, they always suspected that their sister's death wasn't an accident. A few months ago someone who was close to my father contacted them to let them know that my father had confessed to killing his wife. That person never disclosed that to anyone before. I don't know why he waited so long. I was informed by my stepmother's sisters that at the time, the police had suspected foul play in her death but hadn't been able to prove it. Being estranged from my father, I hadn't been told about it at the time. My stepmother's sisters encouraged the man who heard my father's confession to go to the police, and it appears that further evidence that he killed her was found, and that there is little doubt. I don't know what the evidence may be. I do believe that my father could murder someone though. He was a violent man. My stepmother's sisters are understandably very upset that their sister was murdered, as I am. They want to sue my father's estate for wrongful death. They say I shouldn't have inherited what he got from their sister and they should get it back. Even though I understand their position, this has me very worried. I sold the house and land but for various reasons I'm not in a position to give them back the monetary value. I was not aware at all that my father had killed his second wife before her sisters called me. Can my father's estate be sued? As his heir, what can happen to me, and what should I do to protect myself? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 May 2020 06:45 AM PDT Legit question. First, how are they still able to operate when breaking the law so frivolously. I know there can be a jail sentence for not paying your employees but who really enforces that if not the DOL? I tried calling the district attorneys office and the lady is basically clueless and is like we prosecute criminals here (hey, this guy is one but ok). Any solid advice or suggestions would be appreciated (Kansas is the state). Edit: to clarify I mean my last two paychecks after i stopped working there (two days before the pay day so missing one check and another with a couple of days) [link] [comments]  |
| [PA] Stranger found property, won't return Posted: 08 May 2020 05:06 AM PDT Location: Pennsylvania I carried a personally valuable item in my purse for months back and forth on public transport on my commute to school. It disappeared about 3 months ago. (Presumably, it fell out on my bag, but, under these circumstances, I can't know for sure?) My name was on it, so I filed multiple missing item requests at the station, at my school, etc., but nothing turned up. About 6 weeks after losing it, I got a message on Facebook from some man a few towns over that I don't know. (It's public, has been routinely active from 2011 onward, so I presume it's a real one, and matches with someone else's identification). He told me that he'd found my item on public transport and wanted to return it. I was delighted and got back to him right away and followed up shortly after with contact info and an offer to pay for the shipping, as well as an offer to meet him somewhere public if that was easier. I also offered a thank you reward for the trouble. He saw the messages right away (read receipts), but never responded. I've been messaging him every ~ 2 weeks with polite reminders asking him to either contact me or mail it, and read receipts tell me that he has seen them, but there has been no response. If he did in fact find it on the public transit, he's been holding it for over 3 months already. It unsettles me because it's a personal item and therefore feels violating; it includes info from my finances and mental health. It is also strange to me 1) that it took him 6 weeks to message me in the first place, 2) that he didn't give it to a conductor for Lost & Found and instead took it home...(??), and 3) that he went silent immediately. It doesn't add up neatly. According to PA Title 18, Section 3924, holding on to mislaid or lost property when you have the identifying information of the owner and, with intent to deprive the owner, do not make reasonable efforts to return constitutes theft. I care less about whether he is actually charged and more about whether I get my stuff back. I was advised by family members to file a police report. Is his Facebook profile and his admission to having it enough info for the police to get involved, or won't they bother? What recourse do I have with the circumstances handed to me? TL;DR: Stranger says he found my property, but won't respond to messages about returning. How to proceed? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 May 2020 12:26 PM PDT Hello! Obligatory on mobile. First time poster. In US/Utah. Anyway. I'm in the middle of a nasty divorce with an abusive man. I have a protective order against him and he's violated it 3 times. He's having a hearing in a month for that (it's a 3rd degree felony since it's his third violation). Anyway, he's a violent mfer who will keep pushing the boundaries as long as he thinks he can get away with it. When he and I separated, I predicted everything he would do and I begged the court to listen. He has done everything I said he will do. I know this man very well. We have almost 50/50 split custody of our daughter (she spends more nights at my house so it's closer to 60/40). She comes home with bleeding diaper rashes, open sores on her neck and in sensitive areas, bruising on her thighs, bruises around her rib cage that are very clear hand prints, she's hungry, her diaper is full to the max, rashes all over her body, and he won't treat her very easily treated eczema. She's usually filthy, and this goes back to before she could even walk. When we were married he would shake her, get angry so fast when she would cry and refuse to feed her until she "changed her attitude." Whenever I file a police report or an abuse report, he will file one right after me to make it seem like we're just going back and forth. The police Dept knows me by name at this point and nobody is taking me seriously. Not even the child protective services. I have filed 2 child protective orders. One last year when she came back with bruising along her tummy. I picked the WRONG attorney for that and he bullied me into dropping the CPO and agreeing to the parent time arrangement we have now. I filed the second one recently because of the bruises around her rib cage. I took pictures, I reported it to our child protective services (they haven't reached back out either), I asked specifically for a Guardian ad litem to be appointed. We had our hearing recently and NOBODY looked at the pictures I submitted as evidence and they said there was no evidence of child abuse. But you can CLEARLY SEE HAND PRINTS on my baby. My attorney couldn't be there so I asked for and was granted a continuance. After talking to my lawyer (and 4 others prior to this one because of all the bs my ex is putting me through), he said that this specific commissioner only does what is easy, not exactly what is right. One of the lawyers I worked with before said that they went in for a hearing and the commissioner hadn't even looked at the case prior to walking in the court room. They all pretty much had the same opinion that she's not doing her job and the court cases to prove it but they're scared to do anything about it because of retaliation. This has been going on for months and the bruises and other marks my husband leaves on our baby are just getting worse. His hearing for the most recent violation will result in jail time and he's terrified of going to jail. I haven't even touched on his mental issues, but he is fucked up in the head. He doesn't even see the same reality that we do, he overdoses on his panic attack meds and sleeps for days, he can't hold a job, he can't find stable living conditions for the life of him, he's attempted suicide twice while we were married, he was institutionalized the year we met (before we met) for attempting suicide. Anyway, I'm legitimately terrified that he's going to kill my daughter and himself before his hearing. And the court is doing nothing about the obvious bruises on her body because of how "back and forth" it seems with everything my husband is shooting back at me. From an outside perspective, yes, it looks like we're just trying to get back at each other. But if the court would just LOOK at the bruises he leaves on her body and LOOK at the utter bullshit he puts in his police reports and the actual evidence I have to refute it, they would see that he's a fucking psycho who is hurting a toddler. His lawyer is making me out to be this spurned ex wife who is just filing protective orders to fuck with him. He LIED saying that I had file multiple protective orders for myself in order to get one granted (I filed ONE and I got it) and that I've just been continually filing CPO after CPO and I've only filed two. The first one was dropped because my lawyer at the time was a fucking manipulative dick. This same commissioner is handling my divorce too.... I don't want that to happen because nothing will be done. There is not "best interest of the child" it's "fastest way to get this off my plate." I want to keep my daughter safe. What can I do? I know I can't run away with her. Our next hearing will be via telephone so there's no way to shove the paper of evidence in front of the commissioner/GAL's face and MAKE them look at what he's doing to her. My attorney is floored by what happened because of the overwhelming evidence I have and he intends to make sure everyone looks at the pictures and evidence. I'm just at a loss for how I can protect my child because they've already made up their minds about this whole thing. They continued it as a formality so that I could have representation when they dismiss the damn thing. Is there an agency that can help? A group? Something? My daughter will die if my husband has unrestricted access to her. EDIT: I have taken her to the hospital to have them document it. The only one I didn't take her in for was the most recent bruising because they aren't taking me seriously and I was scared to talk to anyone except my lawyer. That was stupid of me, yes, but the rest of the evidence speaks for itself too. All my doctor is willing to do is write a note saying "change her more often, bathe her, don't squeeze her," but he won't actually DO anything. I've tried submitting that note as evidence, but evidence only works if they look at it. EDIT 2: I did take her to the Children's Justice Center and showed them my pictures of the most recent bruises. They told me to file a police report and I did. The nurse there was very concerned over it and reported it to her hospital's group but I guess she didn't do anything else since she knew I would report it? I don't know. I promise you guys, I have kept a meticulous record of everything. I have huge binders, stacks of them, full of pictures of the abuse, before and after pictures when she leaves my house, texts from him saying he didn't feed her, just MOUNTIANS of evidence. I don't know where to go at this point. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 May 2020 10:45 AM PDT I lost my job and health insurance in January 2019, and was in mental health counseling at the time. I immediately told both my therapist and the administrator that I had lost my insurance and that I wouldn't be able to continue therapy. My counselor and therapist offered to see me at a reduced cash rate because "it was unethical to abandon a client at a time of crisis." I continued therapy for a year, paying the new cash rate each time. After one year though, both the therapist and the administrator left the practice so I was unable to continue there. Now, six months after my final session, the office is calling me demanding payment in full for the remaining balance of the sessions. Apparently, they were attempting to bill my insurance for the sessions over the last 18 months even though I told them I had no insurance, and the insurance company and/or the office is demanding that I pay in full. The new administrator, who I've never met before, says that the therapist and administrator before were not authorized to offer me a sliding scale rate and that I now owe them for services rendered since the insurance company has refused to pay. My understanding was that I was paying a cash rate, unrelated to insurance. It's odd to me that it took them 18 months to notice that my insurance hadn't been paying them, since they had been being paid every week for several years before I lost my job. I've paid exactly what the therapist and administrator said I owed for a cash rate; now they want me to almost triple it retroactively. Am I up a creek here or should I fight? TL;DR: Lost my insurance. Therapist offers to continue therapy at a lower cash-only rate. Office mistakenly continued to bill non-existent insurance and is now demanding I repay for the sessions at a higher rate rather than the one agreed to by therapist, administrator and me, saying that the therapist and administrator lacked authority to offer me a lower rate. Both employees are gone from the practice now. [link] [comments]  |
| Hr block "tax professional" filed my taxes without permission and cost me a lot of money Posted: 07 May 2020 11:53 PM PDT Around the middle of march I walked into an hr block office to have my taxes done. This is my first time claiming a dependent so I wanted to have it done professionally so I didnt screw anything up. After meeting with one of their " tax professionals" and being happy with my claim, they attempted to efile it. The main reason I wanted to efile is because I didnt have the money right then to pay for them and they were going to take the fees out of my return. My return was rejected due to my dependent being accidentally claimed by my fiance, we filed separately. I was told they could paper file it but the money would be due that day or that I was welcome to leave and come back when it was figured out. My fiance submitted an amended return and I was waiting to see if I would still have a job before I spent a weeks paycheck doing my taxes by paper. Ended up losing my job and I saw the tax deadline was extended so I figured I would wait a little longer to see if/when I can return to work. A month after my initial visit I found out the "tax professional" used my previous information to efile my taxes without claiming my dependent. My address had also changed in that timeframe and they used my old address. So when I finally got my federal return it was about 5000 dollars short. I never gave them permission to do this or even file my taxes. Of course the tax professional took her 500 dollar tax fee that I never agreed to. This also affected my stimulus payment as it was mailed out to an old address. I have my mail forwarded to my new address but I read that irs mail may not be forwarded and I still havent received anything. My state taxes never showed up either. I know I will have to file an ammended return but this cant be legal right? I'm planning on going to their office first thing in the morning to get this sorted out but need to know what to expect. Thanks in advance Sorry for formatting I'm on mobile [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 May 2020 12:40 PM PDT My wife and I haven't been on the best terms with her dad after my wife spent a month living with him last year in Utah. That ended with the police being called on him and arresting him with domestic violence. My wife decided not to press charges but the city prosecutor went after him anyways because he was being a "jackass and needed to learn his lesson.". Things have cooled down a little bit since then or so we thought. Fast forward to now and my wife and I are outside the US and won't be back anytime soon due to covid-19. Before leaving we had our mail sent to his house and forgot to forward our mail after what happened last year. We made less than $24,000 last year and should've been sent a stimulus check for $2,400, which would be extremely helpful for us right now. We called him to ask if our check was sent to him. He said our check arrived and said that he could go to his good friend, who's a branch manager at his credit union, and he could help us get our money. His dad tried to convince my wife to send him a message via messenger and he said it was all the bank needed. A message authorizing my father-in-law to cash the check so he could wire us the money. My wife sent a brief message but this is without her signature. 5 minutes after her dad said he had the half of the cashed check and he was going to wire the money to us. 10 minutes later he said that he would only send $700 to us and give us the rest when we fly back to the US. Obviously we said no and he should send us all our money. That turned into an argument and ended with him saying that he wouldn't send us our money. We haven't heard from him since. Later we then found out that he made an arrangement with his friend, even before we asked about the check, that the bank demanded 50% of the check for him to be able to cash it. We don't have any accounts with that credit union anymore so we don't owe them anything. We not sure what we can do or what we should do since we are outside the US right now and won't be back for a while. We're thinking about emailing the city prosecutor that went after him last year, but we don't really know what to do and any helpful advice we be extremely appreciated. Also, do you guys know what charges and penalties he would be facing? [link] [comments]  |
| Bought my home in 2016. Got a summons today saying the deed was forged. Posted: 08 May 2020 11:13 AM PDT I bought my home in 2016 from a woman who owned a real estate company. She was selling some properties her and her ex husband owned. Come to find out, the original owner was their step son who was in jail at the time. I had no knowledge of this. From what we knew, he sold the properties to both of them long before we purchased the home. Now that he is out of prison, he is suing (I think?) me, his moms company, and 8 other homeowners in the area that bought homes from the mother's company. He is saying the sales are fraudulent, because his signature was forged. I got the summons today. Kinda freaked out. I figured the person on the summons was the lawyer, so I called the lawyer, and it was actually the dude who got out of prison. I basically asked him what was going on and he told me that the properties were stolen to him and that his signature was forged on the deeds. I was like well, I had no knowledge of that. I just bought the house as a first time homeowner and everything seemed legit. He was like no, so and so warned you. I said no.... no one ever warned me about this. And had they, I wouldn't have bought the house. He got a slightly hostile, but it ended cordially. I'm an idiot for calling him, and had I known it was him, I wouldn't have. I said sorry to bother him and I hung up. He's representing himself in this case. So I called my title company. I faxed the summons to them, and they're getting with their council and will call me back. They are aware of a lot of these people, and seemed to know a lot about the people involved with this, as if there is history here. Do I need a lawyer? What do I do in this situation? Aren't I entitled to a defense from the title company? I don't want to have to pay any money for something I didn't even do. I bought the home legally... if someone should be held accountable, it should be the parents (if the signature was even forged). [link] [comments]  |
| [UPDATE] American citizen stuck on cruise ship... I disembarked the ship today! Posted: 08 May 2020 02:27 PM PDT Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Once I realized I had very limited legal recourse in the immediate time, I kicked up a media fuss. It made national news across the USA. Today I was allowed to walk off the ship. The ship bowed to the CDC guidelines. I am currently on a private plane to Orlando, Florida, where my family will pick me up and drive me home. Thanks again for all the people who took the time to write responses to me and care about my situation! [link] [comments]  |
| Furloughed but being contacted for “help” Posted: 07 May 2020 09:35 PM PDT I was furloughed a few weeks ago, but my boss and others on my team have been texting me to ask me questions about my work, asking me how to do things that I was previously responsible for, asking me for links or files, etc. At first, I was responsive, but then told them I'm not available for work matters while I'm furloughed. That has not stopped them. The last email from my boss started with, "I'm not asking you to do any work, I just am hoping you can tell me how to do...". I am a knowledge worker, so replying to email and phone messages about projects or duties IS work. Do I have any legal recourse here? I am worried that things will be difficult if/when I return because I was unwilling to pitch in or offer guidance. For the record, I live in the U.S. in the state of Texas and I am a salaried employee. Thank you in advance for any helpful advice. Edit for details: 1) The emails and texts are to my personal email accounts/phone. 2) I can't contact HR because my boss is an HR director— there is no internal recourse. 3) I have replied and asked not to be contacted about work matters while I'm in an unpaid status. I have said that I do not want to work for free. The contact continues. [link] [comments]  |
| Amazon refunded me for a lost package and then it showed up. Posted: 08 May 2020 05:56 AM PDT Hi, I ordered 3 iPads for a work project and after waiting about 2 weeks past the delivery date they still never showed up. I contacted Amazon Support and they resent me 3 replacements that arrived promptly. Another two weeks or so went by and the original 3 iPads just showed up and Amazon sent me an email confirming the delivery. Will they recharge my credit card now for the 6 total I'm in possession of instead of just the 3 I originally ordered? Also, I have not received a message from them asking for a return or anything else. Is there anything I should be aware of before I contact Amazon customer support? Thank you. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 08 May 2020 11:51 AM PDT My ex was given custody and I was given "reasonable access"... Not "supervised access" He wanted it supervised so I agreed to appease. He chose a third party to facilitate the visits and told me to sign up. I did and received a confirmation within a week by mail. It also said while signing up there was a 8 month wait. I suggested in the meantime some other family and friends could facilitate the get togethers (15 to be exact) and he refused. Months have passed and I just figured out he didn't do what was required on his end to set up the access centre. I feel like he's deliberately trying to keep me from them. I'm in Canada and on legal aid. I don't feel like my lawyer is doing enough. Is there something I should be specifically asking for? She's always time crunched and always expects my reply's to be to the point. Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Dog bit delivery man -- what to expect? Posted: 08 May 2020 11:51 AM PDT Good afternoon, Going to preface this with a TL;DR -- Our dog bit a delivery driver's finger. Why is the cost of an average dog bite so high, and what should I expect to pay in terms of damages? Should we communicate with the risk management company? Long story: My dog is incredibly protective since we moved to our new apartment, so we have been being extra cautious. We opt for contactless delivery in every case, and we wait several minutes after their call to get the food -- so our dog doesn't associate someone approaching the new door with a stranger. Unfortunately, our delivery driver forgot an item, and returned to place it as the door was opened. With the driver's hand being directly in front of our dog's face, he bit the driver's finger and ran away. I mostly needed to preface that to assuage my shame, as it pains me to come across as an irresponsible dog co-parent, and if I didn't provide detail, I probably wouldn't have been able to post this at all. I immediately crated the dog and helped administer first aid. The driver was shaken, so I helped him calm down, cleaned his wound, and helped him bandage it. I ensured he had my contact information, I offered the information on our dog's shots (which are kept up-to-date), and I contacted our county's animal control to report the bite. When I spoke with my renter's insurance, I discovered that our policy does not cover animal bites. So, at this point, I am concerned because the average price for a dog bite (according to a google search) is in the tens of thousands of dollars. I expected to cover the price of a finger wound, so my first question is: Why are dog bites so expensive? My second question is: What happens in the case where the risk management company for the delivery driver demands that I pay tens of thousands of dollars that I simply do not have? For some reason, I doubt that "reasonable monthly payments" is in the realm of possibility. Technically, his owner is unemployed due to the coronavirus. Finally, should I communicate with the risk management company? As I might have expected, they have been aggressive and threatening throughout the encounter. They called my partner's phone, refused to identify themselves, and demanded to speak with me -- threatening my partner with court when he refused to hand the phone over when they wouldn't identify themselves. (I only identified them by searching the phone number on google after the fact. I am assuming they got the phone number from the delivery app.). Other than the phone call, they have sent a letter seeking "reimbursement for the cost of the medical treatment and expenses associated with this incident." Should I communicate and cooperate with them, or what is your advice? I apologize that this post ran long -- I am not sure what information is relevant, and which information is not. I sincerely appreciate any assistance. [Edit]: I realized that I forgot. Florida is my state, if it makes a difference! [link] [comments]  |
| My boss wants me to give back a months worth of pay after he already skipped paying me for 2 weeks Posted: 08 May 2020 01:02 PM PDT Hello everyone I could use some help with this situation I'm in. For some background: I (19M) recently got a new job at a marketing agency. With everything going on I considered myself very lucky to have gotten hired here just days before everything shut down. I am a freshman in college going for a computer science major so this job really fit me and my degree. I met my boss after 1 phone call where he hired me on as a 1099 contractor. I was perfectly okay with this as I like contract work more than actual jobs. However, about 6 weeks later the virus started sweeping the nation he wanted me to come on as a full-time W2 employee. This was exciting because I've never had a full time job before. Especially exciting because of the projects I will get to work on. Now for a little more context: I had been paid a single paycheck throughout this 6 week period. Contractors are paid monthly instead of every 2 weeks. So I was expecting another payment in about another 2 weeks. However, he informed me that because he was moving me from a 1099 to a W2, that the IRS would find this very sketchy and they would audit him. He informed me that he would have to increase my pay for one pay period and that I would have to pay back the equivalent of whatever I made in the first month of being hired. This ended up being about $1,600. I don't really know anything about the IRS or why this would look sketchy but I agreed. This is when he informed me that I wouldn't be paid for 2 weeks that I had worked before the transition. I had worked about 120 hours in those two weeks. So it would have come out to about $750. That might not be a big paycheck for some people but that's a car payment and half of a month of rent for me. And then, after all that, he tells me that he's not going to be increasing my pay and IN FACT I'm going to be a a salaried employee so I will be only paid for 40 hours a week. So not only am I losing the 2 weeks of pay, I'm also going to have to pay back the first $1,600 so in all I am having to give up about $2,350??? Can someone explain to me what is happening and what the heck I can do to keep from losing this money? I know everyone is going to tell me to quit but I really can't afford that right now. This is the only workplace in town that goes with my major, also everywhere else is closing or going out of business due to the virus. Thank you for your help. I'm sorry if I'm not very good at explaining this but everything I'm learning is through him and my parents. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 May 2020 05:33 AM PDT I'd like to start by saying that my wife an I have a very strong and healthy relationship. But it wasn't always that way and she has up and left me twice in two years at the beginning. At the time we had nothing and the potential damage if it had come to divorce would have been negligible. As it stands now we own a decent sized house and all the things that go with it. Our finances are healthy and everything is peaches. I am about to receive a trust payout(?) of a quarter million or so and I worry about using that money for anything that benefits both of us out of fear of losing it if she leaves. That kind of money isn't enough to set anyone up for life but I can't help but think that if she decided it was over that the courts would likely give her the house (which I would finish paying off and upgrading with some trust money ~86k) and then I'd have half of whatever is left to buy my own home. So my question is this: is there some kind of paperwork or contract I can have written up that makes it so whatever I choose to invest in our joint assets she'd be required to recompense if she left me? I broached this subject with her after I learned of my inheritance and she seemed receptive and understanding of my paranoia. But I don't even know if it's possible to have a sort of "post-nup" and if it's enforceable. Thank you for your time and expertise. Location: USA, South Carolina [link] [comments]  |

| OR - fence law (neighbor wants to build a new fence when we have a perfectly good one) Posted: 08 May 2020 11:33 AM PDT My neighbors next door want to build a 7ft tall fence between our houses in Portland, OR to add privacy. We already have a perfectly "functional" chainlink fence between our properties and I have no need/interest in replacing this fence. The chainlink fence is not on the property line; it is about 4 inches on our property (land was surveyed). The neighbors are not asking us to pay for their new fence but they want to remove the chainlink so that they can build the new fence right on the property line. Can they force us to do this? We don't want to take down the chainlink and be responsible for future maintenance costs of the neighbors' new fence. [link] [comments]  |
| A dealership "stole" my car, can't contact them, any advice? Posted: 08 May 2020 12:24 PM PDT I towed my car to a dealer in Los Angeles, CA on March 16th. They stopped responding and I could not get in touch with them (left messages, no response, etc.). I was then notified weeks later (end of April) by Hyundai corporate that the dealer shut down permanently, and towed my car and about 60 others to a storage facility. There were lien's placed on our cars, and there are mounting fees to get them released. The dealership is claiming the cars were abandoned after giving notice to owners, although we received NONE. Hyundai and the storage facility have also confirmed that others facing this received no notification, and they are fighting with the dealer to try and release the vehicles quickly. I am now facing my car potentially being sold out from under me on May 28th when the lien takes affect. I am trying to working with Hyundai corporate to pay the storage fees to get my vehicle released, but they are now claiming I have to work with the dealer...who I cannot get ahold of. There are at least 60 other people in my same position. The storage place is now asking for SIX THOUSAND dollars in CASH (no payment plans, no checks, no credit) to release this vehicle and stop the lien from taking place. There are many, many people who can not pay that outrageous sum who are now at risk of their cars being sold out from under them. The storage place confirmed that only a few cars have been able to leave storage and Hyundai corporate confirmed that those people had to pay it out themselves. I'm trying to figure out the best course of action, whether class-action, sue them directly, file a police report, etc. Any advice? Edit: trimmed for clarity and rules. Sorry, first-time poster!

| Posted: 07 May 2020 03:58 PM PDT So about a week ago, a girl at my girlfriend's work walked out after discussing with another employee and learning that said employee made about $2/hour more, despite being there less time. So today, my girlfriend told me that they made all of the employees sign a statement of understanding that they will be fired if they discuss pay with one another going forward. As far as I know, this is very illegal under the National Labor Relations Act. Am I missing something here? We live in Florida, if that's of any additional help. Thank you in advance. Also, I understand Florida is an At-Will State. But I feel like that wouldn't trump a federal law/act? [link] [comments]  |
| [KY] Employer will be garnishing my wages after paying my payroll with a PPP loan Posted: 07 May 2020 07:58 PM PDT So backstory of important information: I am a dental professional that works on a percentage of collections (example: service costs $100. Insurance pays $70. My pay is $70 times my percentage because that is what is collected). However, when I started last June with this employer, I was on a daily base pay until December (For example, $100/day or percentage of collections. Whichever is greater). Then in January, it switched to only the percentage without the base pay. I'm a w2 employee and have Health benefits through my employer. We have been off for a little over a month due to COVID-19, but are officially opening our doors on Monday after my employer got the PPP loan this week. They said we all must come back to work and off unemployment. Cool. Scary time to be in someone's mouth, but people need dentistry so it is what it is. I was informed by my employer today that since the loan was based on 2019 wages, I would be paid the greater of a base pay for the next 8 weeks or percentage of collections. That's great news! My collections will be almost nonexistent the next 8 weeks due to no one wanting to come to the dentist. Then they hit me with the sketchy part: If the pay over the next 8 weeks exceeds my collections, they plan to garnish my wages to recoup the excess. So say they pay me $10,000 in 8 weeks, but I only make $7,000 from collections (hopeful at this point).That means they will be garnishing in increments $3,000 from my pay check after the 8 weeks. Following the money, they get the PPP money and spend it on my payroll to get it forgiven, then garnish my wages to get back forgiven payroll money. Meanwhile I'm being pulled off unemployment, stuck with the risk of no collections and essentially a 0% payday advance loan. I'm the only non-hourly employee at the office, so I have no one to compare this to. Is this legal? I really feel like I'm getting the bad end of the stick here. Thanks for any insights.
