| Posted: 05 Aug 2020 07:12 AM PDT I just called them and asked for a copy. And they were but we already told (boss last name) the results were all negative. And I said ok but I need proof of my "negative" results to send to other people I've been in contact with/working with. So they said "sure well send you the copy". They are taking an awful long time to send it to me. Also I find it extremely off that I'm NEGATIVE since I shared multiple joints with someone who tested positive (I just found out) and it's been a week since. Is it legal for the doctor to give my results first to my employer? (employer paid for the test) Edit: At this point I'm more concerned about fake testing and me spreading it while I continue to work at a restaurant. I'm not gonna take legal action, I dont hate my boss I'm grateful I'm secured a job and they are very nice folks. But I'm really concerned about the safety of my family and the people I have to serve food to. [link] [comments]  |
| I got my cat microchipped the next day she was dead. Posted: 04 Aug 2020 03:51 PM PDT My kitten got a microchip from a vet. She was bleeding quite a bit. I went back in because I needed a napkin cuz she was bleeding so badly. so I showed them my hand and said is this normal she's bleeding? They said yes it is she's just a tiny kitten go home and put pressure on it and it will all be fine. So that's exactly what I did I went home I put pressure on it I got it to stop bleeding for about 2 hours. then it started bleeding again so I called them back and let them know it was bleeding. They told me again it was normal I inform them that there was a lot of blood they said she's tiny she's going to bleed just continued to put pressure on it. So I put pressure on it the best I could throughout the night. when I woke up the next morning she was covered in blood I had to rush her to an emergency vet because my main vet was closed. The emergency vet charged me over $700. She ended up dying. They couldn't tell why she was bleeding so much. They couldn't tell if she was anemic because of the blood loss or anemic because of an underlying issue. My problem is the first vet told me everything was normal twice. When it clearly wasn't. Should they have to pay for the second vet? [link] [comments]  |
| One night stand suing me for paternity 5 years later Posted: 05 Aug 2020 08:56 AM PDT I reside in Tennessee but am being relocated to California in about 5 months for work. Not sure if the move changes anything legally. Five years ago when I was going through a divorce I began seeing a coworker who was also going through a divorce. We had our divorces in common and began hanging out as friends. We had a one night stand one time but mutually decided after that we were better friends and not to continue sleeping together and remain friendly. She ended up going back to her husband and quit my company. I didn't hear from her for about 6 months or so, then she randomly text me and told me she was pregnant and it was mine. But that she and her husband worked things out and he was going to raise the baby as his. I was shocked and not sure what to do. My divorce was freshly final and I wasn't in the best head space to make big life decisions so I agreed that she and her husband would raise the baby and I wouldn't be involved. (Why she even told me is beyond me). Her husband signed the birth certificate and as far as I've heard from mutual friends they were happy and even have another child together after the one that's supposedly mine. I am now remarried and my wife is aware there is a possible child out there that is mine but knows the woman was married and didn't want me around. Well, this woman I had the child with apparently has now divorced her husband and wants me in the picture now. Truly I think she just knows I have a very good job and make quite a bit of money now (I didn't 5 years ago when I knew her). But regardless, she has reached out and said she wants me to take a paternity test to remove her husband as the father in the birth certificate and have me sign it and pay child support. I accepted that I wouldn't be part of this child's life a long time ago, I haven't always been okay with that decision but after 5 years and being remarried and starting a family with my now wife, I'm okay with my decision. At this point the child is over 4 years old and only knows the woman's husband as his father. This doesn't seem fair for the kid or for me. Is there anything legal I can do to protect myself? Do I have to submit to a paternity test? And what if the husband (her now ex husband) doesn't want to be removed as the father on the birth certificate? Obligatory: I'm aware I'm not the hero of this story and it paints me in a very bad light, I don't need comments on my character [link] [comments]  |
| I think everyone except the boss is an intern Posted: 05 Aug 2020 08:25 AM PDT I was told to post this here after putting it up on r/careeradvice, so the next part is going to be copy + pasted from there:
People on r/careeradvice told me that yes, this is illegal, and I should report it. My family members are concerned that reporting it might make future employers look at me suspiciously. I guess I'm waffling because I'm scared of being a whistleblower, especially since it won't just be BM who's affected. One of the other interns basically said, "It's better than nothing," and I feel like it'd be shitty of me to take that away if I do end up reporting it. The workplace is in NYC, by the way. To some extent, I guess this is more of a moral dilemma than a legal one? But to make it more relevant to the sub: Does anybody know what would happen if I did report, and what process I need to go through to make sure this doesn't backfire? Or should I be trying to contact the other interns first (which might be hard, considering we don't have a groupchat/no formal way of contacting each other unless they're also on LinkedIn)? Thank you for reading up to here, and I hope you have a good day. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2020 07:52 AM PDT My niece (F14) has asked to come live with my partner (M52) and me (F43). She currently lives with my mother (F63), who is deemed by court documents to be the Sole Managing Conservator since 2014. My mother is aging and has health problems and has agreed to the new custody arrangement. My niece's biological mother (my half-sister) and the biological father are listed as Possessory Conservators. My sister lives out-of-state and does not see or support my niece. The biological father is (and has been) MIA for years. We do not anticipate any push-back from my sister. We consulted with an attorney for free through an employment benefit I have. He said he could take care of the entire arrangement in about 3 months. However, it is expensive and more than we can comfortably afford. Given that no parties are expected to resisting this change, is there anything we can do ourselves to keep the costs down as opposed to a lawyer handling everything? If so, what would we be required to do to transfer sole managing conservatorship from my mother to us? Also, what considerations are required regarding my sister and the biological father? Additionally, because we expect everything to move forward, we would like to go ahead and enroll her in school before finalizing the custody agreement. Is this legally possible, and are there any things we should consider before doing this? - We live in Denton County, Texas USA (submitter and partner). My niece would reside with us in Denton County - My mother lives in Archer County, Texas USA - My sister is in Pueblo County, Colorado USA edited: Removed "we all live in Texas" and added context that my sister is out-of-state [link] [comments]  |
| [MA] Is there anyway to stop a PI from "investigating" my sister's murder? Posted: 05 Aug 2020 07:24 AM PDT My sister was murdered about sixteen years ago. We found her body, but there is not much else we know. There was no clear motive (no robbery or physical sexual assault) and it didn't match the imprint of any serial killers or other murders in our area. It has been the most painful thing in my life and I have finally begun to heal and make my life feel like it's worth living again (thanks to good therapists, meds, and support groups). When it first happened it attracted some local media, but not much because the case wasn't really all that 'sexy' or flashy or whatever. It was frustrating, but I came to accept it. More recently though a woman from our town (who was friends, but not at all close to my sister) hired a PI to reinvestigate her death. She is one of those true crime/murder-mystery obsessed people and I think she thinks she can crack this case or something. I do not want her to do this at all. The PI is unprofessional, and is going around trying to contact and interview our friends and family-- including my sister's now adult daughter. It is considered a cold case by police, and if they were to re-open it, I would be fine. I am not trying to hide anything. I want it to be solved, and I want justice for her, but I really want it to be done my the police or FBI, not some crackpot PI and a team of bored internet sleuths. This is causing emotional distress for me and a lot of other people. Do I have any legal way to stop this? Is there anything I can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2020 06:33 AM PDT Sorry if I'm rambling or anything, this just happened. My job let me start working from home back in March. I was the only one taking covid seriously, no one else cared to stay home. It's been fine for the past few months, my boss will try to make me come in for little things like company pictures or company meetings, but then when I explain I don't want the one day I come in to be when it's crowded and the entire company is there without masks, he backs off and I stay home. About a month ago someone totaled my husband's car. No big deal since I'm working from home anyways and we don't go out much except for groceries. He isn't able to work from home so he's taking my car to work. A few weeks ago my boss told me he eventually wants to change my duties (I schedule assessments, he wants me to start scheduling installations). I told him it might be hard for me to schedule installs from home since I wouldn't be able to see if things were physically checked into the warehouse. He said that would be no problem and they already have systems for checking things in that would help. This change hasn't happened yet, I'm still just scheduling assessments. Last week was slow, I emailed the boss's daughter (who runs the installation part of the business) asking if anyone needed help with calls and she told me since my work had slowed down a little that would affect my hours (btw I'm a full time employee and even when it's slow my boss has always told me he wants me to get my 40 hours). This woman has never been my boss or given me responsibilities. She said that if I wanted to help schedule installs I would have to physically be in the office. I told her that the boss assured me I could do everything from home since I don't have a car now. She said she didn't know anything about that and that if I wanted to "supplement my hours" I would have to find a way to make it to the office. This was all over email. I never responded to her because she isn't my boss and I figured I just wouldn't offer to help anymore until my actual boss told me when I would start scheduling like the original plan. Fast forward to this week, haven't heard from my boss in about a week and a half. Nothing else from his daughter. I've been chugging along, normal hours, working with what I can. This morning I'm not able to clock in and I have an email from boss's daughter basically saying "last week you never responded about supplementing your hours, yet you still worked 44 hours. It was too slow for you to work 44 hours. We were willing to let you work from home when there was a covid outbreak but it's not working out anymore. To continue working you must come in the office". Now she, nor my boss, will answer their phones. I responded saying basically that my boss always assured me I could do everything from home, that he wanted me to get my full time hours, that it would be over $50 per day to uber back and forth to work and who will let my dog out during the day, and that since I can't clock in I'm considering this firing me. Also that the extra 4 hours was from when I clocked out early on Friday so I could wait for more jobs to come in, then clocked in Sunday to make up the half day and fill people in on Monday. They've always told me since I work from home I can move my shifts around however I want. I did not realize the pay period is Sunday-Saturday. Would it be illegal for her to not pay me for all the hours I worked last week? The only proof I have is the clocking in/out calls on my phone log and my activity on email, phone system, and such to prove that I was actually working. But they're slowing changing all the passwords to things so that I don't have access anymore. Would I still be able to get unemployment if she's technically offering me hours at the office, even though I don't have a means of getting there? It's been almost an hour and no one has called me back or responded to my email. I don't know if there's anything else I should do. I'm in North Carolina if that matters. Thanks for any help Edit: TLDR: I work from home because covid. I think I was just fired over email, they told me I'm not allowed to work unless I come into the office. I don't have a car anymore and they know this. Not sure if I can get unemployment if they're technically still offering hours, only in office. [link] [comments]  |

| Neighbor wants us to pay for their foundation repair (TX) Posted: 05 Aug 2020 10:40 AM PDT Note: this is really for my parents, so when I say "our" I'm really referring to my parents. So it might take a while to answer if you need more specifics or clarifications. Many of the houses on our street have had foundation problems and ours is no exception. We hired a company to fix our foundation. They told us that they needed access to our neighbor's yard because they needed to dig some sort of drainage hole as part of the process. They asked us to ask our neighbor so we did. We told our neighbor that the foundation repair company needed access to their yard to dig the drainage hole. Neighbor said sure. It turns out the foundation repair company didn't disclose to us nor to the neighbor that this hole would be like 6x6 and more than 3 ft deep. Now our neighbor is trying to say that the hole caused damage to their foundation and are trying to get us to pay for it. In our contract with the foundation company, it says that we are responsible for any damage that occurs. Does that include major damage that they possibly caused to property that is not our own? We're worried that the company will just try to hide behind the waiver and pin the blame on us. I figured that those kinds of liability waivers were just for smaller things that are unavoidable. Also, like I mentioned before, all the houses on my street experience problems as a result of shifting soils. For example, all the driveways are uneven. We think it's a possibility that our neighbor already had some foundation problems and is just trying to take advantage of the situation. Is there something that could be done to legally prove if this was in fact the case? [link] [comments]  |
| Chiropractor shared my sensitive information to another patient Posted: 05 Aug 2020 08:14 AM PDT I'm not sure if this is a legal issue, but recently I have been seeing a chiropractor in Missouri that was referred to me by my boss. It's probably important to note we get along very well and are considered friends. Part of my first appointment consisted of telling him I had digestive issues that may have been caused by a traumatic experience. Fast forward to yesterday. My boss and I were in a conference room when she said, "Yeah, Dr. So and So mentioned your past trauma and we talked about how he fixed your [ parts of body that were giving me trouble. ] RED FLAG. I was not happy about this at all and don't have faith that he will keep my future information confidential. Maybe he thought it was okay because we are friends but I don't believe he should have EVER talked about my trauma or specific health issues to her, another patient. Is this a legal issue or should I just stop seeing him? Thanks reddit! Edit: formatting, added location [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2020 06:04 AM PDT This is complicated, but my ex died before we finished the paperwork for him taking half my 401(k), which was agreed to in the divorce decree. We live in Ohio and he's entitled to it. His divorce attorney says he talked with Court and the Court wants me to sign the entry that the 401(k) transfer is happening and the Court will either approve or not approve it. My ex and I have two young kids together. I'm now in this weird situation where my 401(k) money is coming out and, I assume, will be going to his beneficiaries - our two children, who I have full custody of. I talked to my exes mom because I believe she's executor of his estate and she wants this to go forward and she will put the money in a trust for them. (He died a homeless alcoholic and his only assets were a car valued at $5k and a pre-marital 401k worth about $4k. ) If the 401k transfer goes through, will that money be penalized for early withdrawal? I had asked his mom if she, as executor, would consider signing a joint motion waiving the portion of the divorce decree that says he takes that money. She said she felt he would want the money to go to the kids, so she wouldn't do that. She also said it would go into a trust. As the executor of the estate, is it possible that she can open a trust for my kids that I as, as their mother, can't access? And that she can put my 401(k) money into it? I'm baffled why she wants this transaction to go forward. I make decent money and take extremely good care of my kids. I should also add it's not that much - he cashed out his 401k during the divorce proceedings and so even though my 401k is decently funded, we're 'only' talking about $6000 for complicated reasons I won't go into here. Legally he's entitled to half, but his half is minus his 401k he cashed out and I think some other stuff.) As I'm writing this, I think it's helping me piece it together. It just feels really strange to me that they're stripping away my retirement money and also presumably not letting the kids have it until they're 18 or something, so I'm left with childcare expenses and less in my retirement and I'm honestly not sure how this benefits the three of us. But maybe I should just be happy the kids will be somewhat financially secure when they're older, even if it's to my detriment? [link] [comments]  |
| [Update] [ME] Hookup reported me to the police Posted: 04 Aug 2020 06:50 PM PDT The day of my original post, I continued to recieve messages from the person, none referencing the police or any issues. It was actually more being rather aggressive and abusive about meeting up again. I also started calling around criminal defense lawyers, which is why I'm making this post. I called four local criminal defense offices. One advised that they would be able to take me on an immediate basis (which seems odd for criminal defense, but these are strange times). Three set up times the next day to go over matters, two via Zoom and one in person. The first Zoom meeting covered the basics of events and what evidence I had in my favor. It was roughly 20 minutes, at which point I was quoted a rate of $450 an hour with an expected minimum of 3 hours. As I don't have $1350 to clear my name, I told them that I was still consulting with other offices and would get back to thwm. The second Zoom call ended up double-booked with a job interview (apparently they only set up one Zoom account for the entire office). I gave a brief (<5 minute) rundown of events, and the lawyer entered into a story of how they proceeded with a previous client from start to finish. I was a bit taken aback, and asked how they thought (in my case) to immediately proceed, to which he said doing an in-depth interview and setting up a polygraph for myself. That seemed fairly odd, so I decided to push through and ask what rates would be. At this point he said that he wouldnt be discussing rates, because I hadn't given him the go ahead that we would be proceeding together. At that point he effectively said that he didnt thinknwe would be a good match and that I would not be taken on. Question: is it standard/normal/whatever for lawyers to refuse to discuss rates at this stage?The third meeting was set in person. I met at the office, we went in, spent about 30 minutes going over events and evidence. He had recently finished a case involving the same detective, and alluded to her being particularly aggressive in investigations. Early in the meeting he made a brief call to the detective to confirm where things stood, and eventually he made a call to dictate events as I had told him. So to jump back in time to that morning, I has received another call from the detective. I advised her that while I was eager to have this issue cleared, it was potentially very serious and I was seeking legal council that day. I did get out of her additional details from my hookup, which included another meeting including someone in had not met, that two rape-kits had been done (after bother "events"), that they had a history of mental illness and making false statements. I was repeatedly advised not to waste my money on a lawyer, to which I responded that considering the seriousness I did not feel comfortable proceeding without covering everything completely. The only information I provided was in response to a comment about the rape kit and that I would be in trouble if I claimed nothing happened and they found semen; I truthfully responded "you will not", as no form of penetration let alone ejaculation happened. Jumping forward again, there was a roughly 20 minute phone call with the detective. I clarified 1 or 2 questions from the detective. My lawyer asked the detective if matters with me were done, which the detective confirmed. As this had rather escalated with my HR department, the detective offered to confirm via phone and writing that there was no suspicion of crimes and no charges would be made. I commented that I would greatly appreciate that, as this had directly risked my job and I needed that issue closed sooner rather than later. My lawyer billed me for an hour ($375) which I'm getting to in the next week. After I left the legal office I called my head of HR to confirm that everything was taken care of. I then also called my colleague (technically manager) who was only aware that something serious involving HR happened, and in disclosure with him had a bit of a nervous laugh together over the whole thing. I've also opened a support ticket with the dating app to have their account suspended, as this is apparently a pathological issue on their part. Thanks to the couple of people in the original post who offered advice beyond basic knowledge as well as those who granted me a sanity check on my behaviour. Fuck you to the people PMing about how inshouldnt drop the soap and the like. Hopefully these two posts will give some info for people moving forward. Mods, if this could at least be briefly left open so that I could have my above question responded to for future use and general knowledge? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2020 01:04 PM PDT For Part I, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/i0qvou/former_landlord_wants_2500_for_cleaning_my_last/ So I took this subreddit's advice and also spoke to an attorney who advised the same, that a counterclaim is a might-as-well move and is the right path forward. We filed the counterclaim on Monday, 8/03, and mailed notice to the plaintiff yesterday, 8/04. They immediately called us today to request that we set up a settlement meeting. We spoke to them (via email at this point*) and stated that we wanted our security deposit and sewage fee back as well as monetary forfeiture or would be proceeding with the countersuit. (As a side note, I am really shocked how fast this is all happening.) I got a response within a half hour, asking to mutually drop both claims with no money exchanged. Now I have a decision to make and it pretty much pins on one gray area that I'm still uncertain about: Does my countersuit escalate this case to a civil suit, or would this still fall under small claims as it is only for $2,500? If I am going to end up hiring a lawyer I feel my best bet is to accept the offer to mutually drop the suits. However, if I do not need to lawyer up I do feel that my best option is to proceed as every bit of professional advice I have gotten has advised me that I have a strong case. Any knowledgeable input is kindly appreciated! Edit: I keep forgetting this bit, but I live in Wisconsin! [link] [comments]  |

| Owning a property with a violent tenant- what’s the owners liability? Posted: 05 Aug 2020 11:34 AM PDT this is more so related to property my mother owns and my brother. Some background- Brother has severe schizophrenia and meth addiction. He's been in an out of jail for the last two years and I haven't seen him since December 2018. My mom has supported him for several years, and has allowed him to live in a property she received as part of the divorce from my dad (who has washed his hands of both my mom and brother). My mom did everything possible to ensure my brothers safety Including filing mental health warrants, involving police, talking with counselors, and not much has ever change (both from Harris county or from my brother). On to the topic: The last time my mom saw my brother was April 2020, she drove to his/her property with a general contractor following her to repair a toilet. When they approached the house, brother ran out naked, with a baseball bat, threatening to kill my mom/contractor. When they attempted to leave, brother smashed the contractors side mirror of his vehicle, smashed my moms windshield and beat her passenger door to where it wouldn't open. She called the police, and by the time they showed up brother would not come out of the house. Police told my mom that they would not enter the property but would file a warrant in case they picked him up off the street. She has not returned since as she fears for her safety. Yesterday, a neighbor next to the property texted my mom that brother has a semi automatic pistol in his possession and has been discharging it in his yard. The neighbor is an old friend of the family, and was able to approach brother and talk to him. Essentially brother is telling neighbor he hates society and wants to kill everyone in society. Neighbor tells us he won't call the police bc he doesn't want to be involved but that he is concerned for his families safety. My mom has been on the phone for several hours with the police department, and basically they told her there's nothing they can do. The police officer LITERALLY told her, "Why don't you just drive over there and check it out if you're concerned?" knowing that she is calling bc she is concerned for her safety/the safety of others and brothers history of violence. So here's my legal question- if my brother were to do anything on the property that involves hurting himself or others, is my mother liable as the owner of the home? Given that she's involved police and filed numerous health warrants on him, there's definitely a track record of her TRYING to seek help, even if the system completely failed/fails. Our concern is that if he becomes violent and takes a life on her property, is she at fault. [link] [comments]  |
| Can a property manager use drones to surveil tenants? Posted: 05 Aug 2020 10:16 AM PDT i'm in CA. am wondering if property managers are allowed to use drones to surveil tenants. we've seen them flying around the complex and our apartment manager and guiding them back to her and putting them in cases and then her car, so we know that they're hers. she has them flying around regularly checking people's patios and will hover them close up outside of car windows/apartment windows/sliding glass doors to (what seems like) look inside of the apartments and cars. i'd rather know if it is legal or not before reporting it to our city. i tried googling it and couldn't find an answer for the direct situation.

| Posted: 05 Aug 2020 11:49 AM PDT I didn't know his license was revoked until after we bought it and it was too late to return it. Insurance called me and said his license was invalid and revoked and he got kicked off of it. He said he'd take care of it, he didn't Car is entirely in my name, payments are through my account. He's always paid half, and paid for it to be lifted and has taken it in for maintenance. We both put money down for the down payment I believe he cannot insure a car at all since his license is revoked. Does he have a legal basis to sue me for anything regarding the car even though it's mine? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2020 06:22 PM PDT Missouri. Dropped my car off for oil change + cabin air filter change yesterday. I noticed a dreadfully loud noise coming from my fans this morning. Checked the dashcam footage just a little bit ago, and listened to them joking about the noise with profanities, and saying 'well there isn't anything I can do about it now'. Other banter like "uhhh is it supposed to make that noise?" - "uhhh yeahhhhh sure" *laugh*. Trying to understand if I should present this audio that my dashcam captured to the managers, and if there could be any potential legal ramifications for the camera recording audio during this point. It was in plain sight mounted on my rear and front windows if that matters. They didn't fix it, they didn't replace it and they didn't tell me about it. I found out via the audio that they also accidentally damaged and replaced the door actuator somehow so I think they were inexperienced. As a side question that is more just 'advice' than 'legal advice' maybe, I am wondering if I should be upfront about the recordings with management immediately, or not disclose that I have it at all.

| Posted: 05 Aug 2020 12:35 PM PDT Living in an apartment where the management is only there once a week. I've tried telling them that it regularly reaches 85/86 f in the apartment sometimes on very hot days it gets up to about 90. They gave me a portable a/c unit but during the day it really doesn't do much. I live in the desert and the whole complex is "cooled" with swamp coolers that are on the roof. It's idiotic. Doesn't work. I signed a year long lease before the summer. Is there anything i can do about this? I'm not sure who I would even send any kind of complaint or notice to. I live in Arizona [link] [comments]  |
| private disability insurance eligibility after layoff Posted: 05 Aug 2020 12:33 PM PDT Given that:
Would I be eligible to collect benefits from my long term disability insurance plan? I know I am eligible for SSDI as a blind person but I wasn't sure if I could collect from my private insurance if my termination wasn't because I couldn't perform the job duties with reasonable accommodations; I had been performing fine at work. I am concerned that it will be very difficult for me to find another job in the current economic climate as a blind person. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2020 10:13 PM PDT Last year, I purchased a one-year-old used vehicle. A month later, the car was flooded during a bad rain event, and the insurance company declared it a total loss. The insurance company paid out, but the payment didn't cover the full value of the car note, leaving me on the hook for approx. $750 owed to the finance company. Sucks, but so be it. Now money was "food or medicine" tight at the time*, but luckily for me, the finance company treated the insurance payout as X number of installments and pushed the next installment "due date" back about four years, which gave me some breathing room to scrape together the cash. Back in May, I finally managed to pay off the full balance. In fact, I actually overpaid very slightly and the finance company sent me a teeny-tiny refund check (<$1). Now, side note, I have a Discover card, which shows your current credit score on every statement. In my August statement, I discovered my (previously extremely high) score had dropped 115 points out of nowhere. I panicked, thinking someone must have stolen my identity, and pulled my credit reports to see what was up. Lo and behold, the finance company had declared my FULLY PAID loan as a bad debt/writeoff. I'm livid. They got every penny of their money months ago, and now my perfect financial history, built over a lifetime of careful spending, in essence, my good name, has been trashed. I've not rich. I'm not even middle class. That credit score is EVERYTHING for my finances: lower interest rates on loans, lower/no deposits on utilities, hell, even potential future employment, as employers are increasingly running credit checks as part of their hiring process. There were times over the years where my credit score was literally my only asset, and it has served me well. I'm going to contact them to try and get it corrected, but I have zero faith in their ability to fix what they've broken. Additionally, if they've written off the "debt," they've probably also sold it to a 3rd party. I wouldn't be surprised if I start getting harassed by collectors. I have all the receipts, right down to the teeny-tiny refund check. I guess what I want to know is whether incorrect reporting, resulting in severe damage to a credit score would count as, I dunno, some form of libel? Is it legally actionable? Would a lawyer even both with this? I'm in Louisiana if that makes a difference. \This isn't germane to the situation at hand, but if anyone's wondering why I'd buy a newish vehicle when I was that broke, it's because I planned to drive for Uber/Lyft on my off days. The car was an investment that would bring in enough extra income to pay for itself and then some.) Edited to fix a typo. [link] [comments]  |
| Texas apartment wont honor "change to lease rates addendum" Posted: 05 Aug 2020 10:31 AM PDT My wife and I recently signed an addendum to our lease stating that our apartment complex was reducing our monthly rent. We have the document that was signed electronically by both of us as well as a representative from the apartment. My wife got a call from the area manager stating that they would not be able to honor the agreement even though it is signed by both parties. The addendum has a line that states "The provisions of this addendum shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in the Lease and signed addenda." This is the second time we sign an adjustment like this. The first one was in May of 2020 and they had no issues honoring that one. The one in question was signed in July 2020. Is there anything I can do to make them honor the most recent one? Just like many of you, my job hours and pay have been affected by this virus and could really use the extra money I'd be saving. First post ever. I apologize if it's not up to par. [link] [comments]  |
