| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 12:59 AM PDT A couple months ago, my neighbor's brother moved in with him across the street. My neighbor and I have always been cool and wave at each and things like that. When his brother did the same, I returned it, and we all chatted for a little bit. Things were fine at first. I have a really bad immune system due to a chronic condition, so thanks to COVID, I've pretty much become a hermit and never leave my house since I work from home and can have groceries and anything else delivered. After the first few grocery deliveries, I noticed that my neighbor's brother would always come outside, stand at the edge of his lawn, and stare at me as I brought my groceries in. Initially, I just wrote it off as him waiting for someone or something, but when I noticed the pattern I started getting uncomfortable. Then he started trying to get my attention when I was out there, and I would wave and acknowledge him but said I had to get back to work. One day he ran over and said he'd help me bring my groceries in, and when I told him not to worry about it, he pushed right past me with a couple bags. I told him I appreciated the gesture, then mentioned my condition and asked him not to please not do that again, especially since he wasn't wearing a mask. He apologized but didn't leave and tried to hug me instead. I stepped back and asked him not to do that either and to please leave. He got kind of offended and asked if I was scared of him, then asked where my boyfriend was (I live alone). I asked him to step outside again and he just asked me if I even had a boyfriend. At that point I told him that he needed to get out now and he finally did. I thought that would be the end of it, but nope. A couple nights later I woke up at around 3 AM and couldn't sleep, so I went into my living room to read. I noticed a clicking/muffled banging noise at my outside door but figured it was just a cat or something (my neighborhood has an ungodly amount of stray cats around). Then I heard something drop, and then a man said 'oh, shit,' and I realized that the guy was messing with my door. I kind of froze for a moment, but when the noises got louder and more frequent, I called the police and went to stand by my backdoor so I could get the hell out in case he actually got in. A few seconds later, he must have heard a car coming down the street, because he suddenly ran away, probably through my other neighbor's yard, because when the police made it to my door, stated they never saw anyone there. I explained what has been happening and they said they'd see if they could talk to the guy, but that the house didn't look like anyone was up. I was frustrated because they didn't seem to think it was a big deal, but thanked them and they left. Later that day, I bought one of those Ring cameras, and my brother picked it up and set it up that afternoon. From then on, I was able to see that this guy was coming over most nights. Sometimes he would just stand there and leave after about ten or fifteen minutes, sometimes he'd poke around at the door or window. I called the non-emergency police a few days later when I had more proof, but they said that you couldn't even see who it was (which is not true at all, it's plain as day), and that whoever it was technically wasn't breaking any laws. Nothing happened and he is still doing this crap. Do I have any legal options? He may not be making threats or anything but continues to come at all hours of the night and keeps trying to run over to me whenever I have anything delivered. And the fact that he just barged into my house and wouldn't leave until I'd asked him about three times just makes it worse. I get he's likely not breaking laws, but I'm scared. Is there anything I can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor keeps stealing power for electric car. Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:25 AM PDT My neighbor and I have a shared driveway. I own my house but the neighboring house is a rental. Last year, I bought an electric car, and paid to have a charger installed on my side of the driveway. When I installed it, the previous tenants asked if they could use it on two occasions for guests who had electric cars, and I agreed that they could. Well, the new tenants apparently feel that they're welcome to use it whenever they like to charge their own car. They've actually unplugged my car in order to plug in theirs on a couple of occasions. Of course, this uses my power, but also prevents me from charging my own car, which has caused problems. I went over and asked them to stop using my power, and they were extremely rude and said that it was included in their lease, and that their landlord told them it was included in the property. Talking to them has been completely useless. In fact, when I unplugged their car and plugged in my own, they came over and banged on the door, threatening to sue me. I haven't been able to get in touch with their landlord. The third or fourth time I found them charging their car on my plug, I called the police, who told me that this was a civil matter, and wouldn't intervene. What can I do, at this point, to stop them from using my charger? This is in Indiana. [link] [comments]  |
| Fired while serving on jury duty Posted: 25 Oct 2020 09:51 PM PDT Location: Southern California Employer: Amazon Schedule: Sunday - Wednesday 1800-0430 Hi everyone, A few weeks ago I was summoned for jury duty on the 19th and notified my shift leader and management. Last Sunday I told my manager and HR that I was going to be on jury duty the following day and they sent me home and told me to bring pink slips when I return to work. I was on duty Monday, selected Tuesday, and in court Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday we were told to return Monday afternoon. However yesterday I received an email for job abandonment and missing three shifts in a row. I immediately called corporate HR and let them know that I was wrongfully terminated and they told me a case would be opened and I would hear back in 1-3 days. I then asked if l should come to my shift today (Sunday) and he told me not to. Today my site HR called me and told me I would be re-hired if I email them the pink slips and all my vacation and personal hours would be cashed out to me since I was terminated. I asked if I would receive those hours back since I legally do not need to use MY hours if summoned for duty. I told her that I would be contacting a lawyer and she sarcastically said "okay bye". So I guess my questions are:
Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Was it legal for my psychiatrist to disclose private information to my parents when I was 19? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 02:34 AM PDT Texas, am now 21f It still bothers me a lot to this day, but I had even signed a paper before my psych evaluation that "I don't wish to have this information given access to anyone else". I told my psych towards the end of my evaluation that in the past I had suicidal thoughts and had self-harmed but I was not currently doing either. Right after I told her that she said she had to disclose the info to my parents (who were in the waiting room) and I begged her to not tell them and she still went and got them and repeated to them every private thing I said related to that. At the time I was not really thinking straight and it sent me into a worse spiral and didn't wonder if what she did was legal or not. This whole event ended up further distancing me from my parents aboutmy medical health and I got much worse before I started to improve again. I was at that point legally an adult and the psych knew my age, and I thought they were not supposed to disclose medical health to others when you are an adult and especially not your parents? I could be wrong but I'm not sure [link] [comments]  |
| Considering firing my defense lawyer after receiving questionable texts. Need advice, please. Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:02 AM PDT Before I start, I know exactly how crazy I sound here. Please don't tell me I'm delusional or need to seek (non-legal) help. Between my situation and everything else going on this year, I've found I no longer trust my instincts. Throwaway for obvious reasons. Last year, my (former) coworker the victim of an office prank gone horribly wrong. Though he thankfully survived he suffered serious injuries and will never be the same again. I don't know anything about the prank or who was involved (I had nothing to do with it), but my name was mentioned multiple times during the investigation and charges were eventually brought against me. My lawyer has been the single bright spot in what has been an extremely long - made even longer by Covid - and sometimes unbearably draining process. She's diligent, talented, supportive, passionate, and seems to actually care about what happens to me. I'd considered myself lucky to have found her and trusted her implicitly. On Friday evening, I received a text from an unknown number saying (paraphrased):
I immediately wrote back "what?", but got no response until the next day when a different number (though I strongly suspect they're the same person) sent me a picture of my lawyer dining with a group that included two of my former colleagues. A few points:
As legal professionals, is this picture as big a deal as I think it is? And should I bring it up to her? I'm afraid that if I do, and she isn't doing anything nefarious, that it will sour our relationship and she'll no longer be motivated to fight for me. But if I don't say anything, the knowledge will eat away at me and I'll become suspicious of everything she does. (lose/lose) And, if I ask about it and she is working against me, I expect she'd just lie about it anyway, so what would be the point? (another lose) I'm honestly not sure if I can even get a new lawyer at this stage (and am hesitant to ask anyone about it), but if it is an option, based on what I've shared should I consider changing my legal representation? Like I said, I know I sound paranoid, and believe me, I feel paranoid. I just don't know what to do now, where to go next, or who I can trust anymore to actually have my best interests at heart. Thank you. Edit: I don't understand why my comments are being downvoted? Am I doing something wrong? [link] [comments]  |
| [VA] Leaving my company, they want me to sign something on the way out Posted: 26 Oct 2020 12:11 PM PDT Hey, so this is in Virginia. Not a ton to this, I'm quitting my job tomorrow (last day of my 2 weeks notice), and my company wants me to sign a "certificate" for termination, and I'm not really seeing a reason to do so. The only item that gives me pause specifically is the 12 month "no poaching" clause. Not that I have a plan to poach (or do anything that would violate the certificate), but it feels like there's only downside to agree to this. I wouldn't mind chatting with a VA employment lawyer if that's what I'll need to do, but generally speaking how can companies "encourage" people like me to sign documents like this? Am I setting myself up for a world of hurt, reputationally, if I decline? It's a publicly traded tech company. There's a significant chance that if I just ignore this, it'll get lost in the shuffle, but I'm curious what the "downsides" are here for me for letting that happen. Edit: Boring resolution, I did sign an employment contract, and it does already have everything in the "certificate" in there as well, the certificate is just to remind me I agreed to those items already. My employer would not need the certificate, it's just something to keep me compliant. Thanks for the advice everyone! [link] [comments]  |
| My vehicle was towed from my own parking spot!!! Posted: 26 Oct 2020 11:25 AM PDT Good morning everyone! I hope your day is going better than mine. I had to pay $400 to get my vehicle back from my own spot... they claimed it was "In a fire lane"...when it was directly in front of my house ( No Red Curb Anywhere) Furthermore when I examined my vehicle, the bottom front rubber is clearly scratched and scuffed -- of course the response I get from the towing people is " well well we don't know what it looked like before sooo who knows when or how that happened " Whatever-- what's more important is being robbed of $400. Scummy people all around. I have contacted management who have yet to back to me.... Sorry to vomit my drama onto you, but I could really use some advice-- -I am in southern California if that makes any difference. [link] [comments]  |
| Is a waitress responsible for the damage of a phone in a restaurant? (Louisiana) Posted: 25 Oct 2020 04:12 PM PDT So my girlfriend is a waitress at a fairly well-known chain. She was trying to refill a woman's glass of water, and while she was pouring it from the pitcher, the woman suddenly lifted her glass and caused water to spill everywhere. In the process, her phone ended up somehow on the floor, barely touching any water. My girlfriend cleaned up everything, brought the woman new food, and paid for all of it. The woman was fine, and then randomly told my girlfriend that she ruined her phone. My girlfriend got her manager to talk to the woman and the woman claims that it was the brand new iphone and she fully expects my girlfriend to buy her a new one. But the thing is, she had her phone hidden away and never showed anyone that it was damaged, and my girlfriend said it most definitely did not look like an iphone. We feel like the woman is just trying to take advantage of the situation and get a new phone. The manager gave the woman my girlfriend's number, and now she is calling and texting her telling her that she needs to buy her a new phone. There's no way my girlfriend is responsible for this, right? One of her managers is telling her that she has to buy it. I just feel like this is all a big scam. We can barely afford rent, there's no way we could drop $900 to buy a new iphone for a stranger. How should we move forward? [link] [comments]  |
| Trying to Stop Social Security from Garnishing My Wages Posted: 26 Oct 2020 05:49 AM PDT Okay, so this goes back a bit... Around 1999, when I was 17 (read: a minor), my parents (it was made out to my dad, whose name is the same as mine) received a check from Social Security for roughly $7100. I was not informed of this at the time. Come late 2018 early 2019, Social Security starts mailing me things informing me that the aforementioned check was a mistake, and that they'll be garnishing my paychecks until they get "their" money back. Problems arising immediately: A) I was not aware my parents were paid out like this roughly 20 years ago; B) I learned of said check when they told me the garnishing was going into effect; and C) My dad died in June 2016. I've tried several times to go through the S.S. office to get them to understand and stop this, but all they've allowed for was a couple of temporary reprieves before they'd go right back to taking my hard earned money. I'm at my wit's end trying to get this to stop. I mean, can they even do this? How do I get them to stop this one and for all? And how do I get back the money they've already taken from me?

| Posted: 25 Oct 2020 08:32 PM PDT I work at a small business where, when people check out, it gives them the option to tip on the card reader. It is not a restaurant so I don't make LOT of money in tips, but significant enough to boost my pay by $2-$5 an hour. I just started working here and I have been informed by the owner that he takes 30% of our tips. It's not a secret, everyone who works there knows, and we all think it's sleazy as hell. I like to think of it from a customers POV—how outraged I would be if I set aside money specifically for a low level employee and found out their boss was taking 30% off the top "for the house." Anyway, we're all young and unsure if we there is any legal action we can take here. Is it even illegal? Is there a government body I could report this to? We're in MA. Edit: Thank you everyone for the comments. Now that I know it's definitely illegal, I want to first try and handle it with my boss without the law first before filing a claim. I'll talk to my coworkers about how to go about that. Thank you again, I'm very grateful to everyone who commented :) [link] [comments]  |
| Employer gave me a death threat Posted: 25 Oct 2020 11:41 PM PDT Hey Reddit ! I work at a gas station in California and the other day my boss threatened to snap my neck multiple times(the incident is on camera). This arose from my boss telling me he over payed me in my last check. I was unaware of this as I hadn't checked my account in a few days & I do not receive paystubs from him(despite previously asking for them a month ago). My boss is notoriously neglectful to his employees & slightly delusional. There is no doubt in my mind after some of the things this man has said and done that he is a sadist. He laid into me for not telling him i was overpaid despite me being unaware & I told him that I was not "fuckin liable" for the mistake so I shouldn't be disrespected over the matter. I said this in a relaxed tone but throwing the f bomb into the mix was unprofessional of me & resulted in him threatened my life. He told me if I said it again he would snap my neck. I told him that I wouldn't but that threatening my life was uncalled for and that if he did it again I would take it thru the legal process. He then said " I do not care about the law & if you say that word again I will snap your fucking neck". I've called the police department in my area and I should receive a call tomorrow, my question is what are a list of the following steps I should take! -Hunter [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 01:00 PM PDT Long title sorry for that. The above is a pretty accurate TLDR but I am (unfortunately and idiotically) on my exes car as a co-signer and I am on the title. It was only purchased 3 months ago. My name is also with hers on the insurance. She has been in a terrible state and was about to miss the last 2 payments, which I paid to make sure my credit would be OK. I also made the down payment. Last night she was on a bender and she almost drove the car in a very drugged up state. Authorities found her in the car trying to drive it but couldn't find her keys. The police office gave me his personal cell and said he would do whatever he could legally (as far as giving statement of her condition that night) to help me out. I know I have every legal right to go take the car since it is mine too, but I want to get out of this completely. What are my options as far as taking this car, and either getting her name off of it, getting my name off of it or just selling it to pay off as much of the loan as possible. [link] [comments]  |
| New employee joins and immediately goes on leave citing mental problems. What are my options? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 05:18 AM PDT First off, please let me know if there is a better place to post this. I'm not too familiar with this side of Reddit. Thanks in advance for reading. Just over a month back, I hired a new team member to help with my workload. Since COVID started, we've had team members leave and I've had to pickup the slack and live been essentially doing 3 jobs; I've been working 6am to 1am most weekdays + weekends. After about 6 months we were finally able to open up the hiring funnel to bring someone on. This new team member joined and has been slow to onboard. I tried giving focused tasks to assist with the on boarding process but finds that 5 days later he hasn't made any progress or even at least raised that he needs assistance (it was a 10 minute task that I ended up pairing with him on. I obviously didn't expect him to be able to complete in that quick a time by himself). A couple weeks in, he starts taking days off citing mental health. Giving notice the morning of without enough notice for anyone to be able to adequately step in on his assignments. And now, he has requested another week off. I understand that COVID has been stressful for everyone. And mental health is a serious issue. At the same time, I need to protect my own health and ensure my team doesn't fail due to lack of support. Hoping folks can share some wisdom on how you have handled similar situations or what my options are without getting legal trouble. Location: BC, Canada [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 08:17 AM PDT This is in Oregon. My grandmother had a stroke in August of this year. My mother and I were written as her primary and secondary poas, despite both of us living on the East Coast. Throughout her extremely difficult recovery process, my mother's sister has attempted to fake a will, fake a poa (they were handwritten by my aunt in my grandmother's hospital room, so obviously fake to the doctors when they saw them and compared them to all the paperwork my mom had), broken into my grandmother's house and stolen things, etc. My aunt is mentally ill, and has my grandmother's address on her ID, so the police said she didn't break any laws by breaking into the house. At that point, all necessary medical people, facilities, and the lawyer were notified about the attempted fraud. Then she tried to kidnap her from the stroke unit of the hospital in September, albeit unsuccessfully. My aunt was then blocked from visitation and information, until this last Monday. My grandmother recently had a setback when she started having seizures on Monday, and had to be intubated in an ambulance and hospitalized again. Because of the apparent dire situation, my mother reached out to my aunt to encourage her and her kids to see her, as it was looking very bad. She was very close to death. One by one, my aunt and two cousins visited. She thankfully started improving much faster, being able to articulate some words again, but cannot follow simple directions, can't articulate things that necessarily make sense, etc. She was declared incapacitated right after the stroke. Two days ago, during my aunt's second visit when she took a positive turn and started mirroring again, she recorded a video of a 1:00 "conversation" between her and my grandma. She was prompting her to say she wanted my mom, off the medical board" in her hospital room. My grandmother says, I want (my mom) here. My aunt prompts her again and repeats the phrase, "so you want her off the medical board and have (uncle) in charge, right?" My grandma looks distressed and confused, and doesn't utter very many understandable words. My aunt sent the video to said uncle who lives 600 miles away, as evidence that my grandma wants my mom off the poa. My uncle immediately sent the video their dad and my mom. Basically: How do we get this to stop? What would be necessary to get a restraining order or something? My aunt is a lunatic who thinks the government made up COVID, and all doctors are bad, so I think that at least partly explains why she tried to take her from the hospital, but I'm getting scared for my mom. She is teaching virtually on east coast time and completely exhausted going through this with my aunt. There's so much more (there always is), but I'm thousands of miles away and don't know how to help them. Thanks for your time. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 11:52 AM PDT This is in North Carolina. I have lived next to the same guy for around 5 years and recently he accused me and my 'gang of thugs' for threatening his life and yelling racial and homophobic slurs all night. I obviously did not do any of this stuff and do not have a gang of thug friends, but apparently the police came to my house when I was asleep. I moved away and my brother moved in, and he continued to accuse my brother of the same stuff. Eventually he moved out and is now accusing me of tracking him down at his new apartment and yelling outside his apartment for hours threatening his life. However, instead of calling the police he went to the magistrate and had them charge me with a crime. I received a letter in the mail saying there is a warrant for my arrest, and had to go to the police station to get arrested. They cuffed me, booked me, and set a court date. I have hired a criminal attorney and we are working to get the charges dismissed, but there is no guarantee I can have this taken care of by the time I have to apply for graduate school. In North Carolina you can basically walk up to the magistrate and charge someone with a crime with absolutely no evidence. This process has been incredibly demeaning, my father saw me being cuffed by the police and I was cuffed to a bench for hours and treated like a criminal even though I did not do anything. It is also causing major financial and life issues because I cannot apply for jobs(I lost my job during covid) or apply to graduate school. My question is can I sue this guy and possibly the state of North Carolina? I think its absurd that this crazy guy can charge me with a crime when I didn't do anything, and then I have to pay for an attorney and lose out on very important opportunities in life. I'm not sure what else I could do but any other advice would be much appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 09:21 AM PDT Hello! This is my first reddit post :) I (30f in TN) am having some trouble with a neighbor and would so appreciate some help! My landlord notified me that my male neighbor had a problem with my blinds being open. I have house plants and a cat that is much calmer if she can see outdoors, so I keep them open during the day for that reason. My window is diagonal from his house, but directly across from his garage, so he has to be in his backyard or in his garage to really see anything in my house. One time, he saw me coming out of the shower, and called my landlord incessantly about it. After I heard about this from my landlord, I was embarrassed and made sure my blinds were always closed at times when I wouldn't want anyone seeing me. I thought the problem was fixed, but then a flood light appeared in his garage window directly across from my bedroom and shined a bright light into my window all night for 3 nights. Then, my landlord called and said he was texting her non-stop about my blinds, and he was saying the problem had gotten worse. He said I seemed to be acting maliciously toward him. This shocked me. She (my landlord) told me that he had also been taking pictures of my window. I called my neighbor and realized that he wanted my blinds closed at all times- even if I wasn't home, in the room or was just existing in my house. Now, I feel like he is obsessed with my window, and trying to control my actions in a space I pay to be in. I feel like he is mentally unstable and it makes me feel unsafe to live next to him. The problem with the flood light stopped, and then started up again so I ended up calling the police just to have a paper trail if things escalated further, but they said he could have a flood light on his property, and that they couldn't do anything about it unless he threatened me. Is there anything I can do? I am worried he will try to retaliate now that I involved police. I don't want to be watched, controlled and uncomfortable in my home. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 01:38 AM PDT Hey guys so I have been looking to leave my husband for a year now and the one reason is because of our dog. It's a long story but the dog has completely destroyed our home and I just can't live with it anymore my husband refuses to get rid of it and emotionally abuses me if I dare even talk about the dogs misbehavings. If she pees on the floor or tears up another window screen I'm EXPECTED to say nothing and walk away. I'm just done. So I don't know what to do because he's the financial breadwinner and I'm the stay at home mom. We have a 4 and a 6 year old. He is completely against a divorce but refuses to compromise with me..So in essence, he wants me to live in an emotional and mental hell. I'm so ready to divorce him but I don't have thousands for a lawyer. Does anyone have any advice? I would be very grateful [link] [comments]  |
| Visitation of my exes daughter that I raised. Posted: 26 Oct 2020 05:05 AM PDT So I started in this little girls life when she was 3 hours old. She knows me as her father and her mother and I have broken up multiple times, each time she let me back in to be a father to my daughter. Her biological father gave up rights. She uses our daughter as a weapon pulling me in then taking her away from me again. The last time I visited my daughter, we had a verbal altercation which lead to her saying "This doesn't work for me anymore" since then she has refused to respond to my messages. I would like to take her to court for at least visitation rights as she knows me as her father and I have done everything in power including offered her child support. She might not be mine by blood, but she is the only person I have ever really loved. She has my laugh and my manurisms. I quit drinking and smoking for her, so I could be the best father I could be. I just want what's best for her and I honestly think having a loving unconditionally father is what is best for her. [link] [comments]  |

| Service Department drove our car 380 miles while they had it. Posted: 26 Oct 2020 04:19 PM PDT My boyfriend and I took his car into our local dealership for some repairs. We brought it in to them October 8th, in which it had 52,262 miles on it and half a tank of gas. He paid $100 (we have a warranty) and got it back October 23rd with 52,650 miles on it (after driving to a gas station and driving home the car had 52,687 miles, we took a photo of the odometer.) and the tank had 13 miles until empty. The paperwork we were given also showed that the mileage in was 52,262 and mileage out was 52,262. I called multiple times throughout this past weekend asking to speak with the service advisor we dealt with, in which we constantly were sent to voicemail so I started asking for a manager. Every day for 4 days we were told "He's off today but he will be here tomorrow." Finally I went up to the dealership in person because we are really mad about 400 miles being put on the car during the 2 weeks the dealership had it. I was given an an apology and an offer to fill the car up "for free." In my opinion, the car should've been filled up in the first place. I was given attitude and condescending tones when I asked what they did with the car while it was in their possession and why 400 miles were put on it. Instead of answers, I got "The cars aren't allowed to leave the property without customers permission." (Obviously it did because the dealership is small. Theres no way they racked up 400 miles driving it around the parking lot in 2 weeks unless they drove it 24/7.) "I really think that was a typo." "Ive already apologized I don't know what else you want from me." Mind you, we bought this car almost a year and a half ago with 47k miles on it. We do not drive this car often, and have put less than 5k miles on it the entire time we've had it. We JUST hit 52k a few weeks before we took it to the dealership. What legal option, if any, do we have? Im getting the runaround, which doesn't surprise me but is making me livid. Also note there is a pending lawsuit against this company for transmission issues in the same car we have currently and they have continuously ignored us when we've told them the issue is happening in our car. We are in Texas. [link] [comments]  |
| Suing landlord for 3x security deposit (9k) when MD small claims limit is 5k? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 09:43 AM PDT Our landlord kept our $3,000 security deposit after the 45 day limit and did not provide an itemized list of damages. When we asked about the deposit 30 days after termination, he said that he had no intentions on returning it, but gave no reasons why. Under MD law, after 45 days, we are now entitled to 3x the security deposit ($9,000). We first are sending a demand letter stating the law and giving 2 weeks for him to return the original $3,000 deposit in full. If we end up suing in small claims court in MD, can we only sue up to the $5,000, even though we are entitled to $9,000? Are there exceptions in MD SCC for landlord tenant security deposit cases? If there is the limit, is it worth taking it to district court for the $9,000 treble damages (landlord covers attorney costs as well under the law)? If anyone has had experiences with this, please share! Additionally, my roommates have not taken any initiative in getting the return of the deposit. Am I able to go to SCC to sue for my personal portion of the security deposit ($1,000) x3 ($3,000)? That way, I'm able to stay in small claims court. I submitted my portion of the security deposit check with just my name on it. [link] [comments]  |
| doctor not cooperating with request to correct office notes Posted: 26 Oct 2020 08:05 AM PDT i reside in CT. i saw a NYC doctor last year who i decided i was not going to be able to work with. he did not take it well, to say the least. he has proven in multiple ways that he deals with a god complex and has been extremely rude. this year, i am pursuing a lawsuit in which my medical records are being used as evidence. during the one appointment i had with this doctor, his note taking system was down so he hand wrote some notes that he later entered into his computer. it appears that he stated crucial dates incorrectly. this error has been causing issues for me securing legal help and it is imperative to my case that it is corrected. i reached out to him through email, asking for his help, and he has responded very bluntly that he does not want to help me. he first told me that it is illegal to "change medical records after the fact". i assured him that that wasn't what i wanted but if he could write a note clarifying that we spoke and that he made a mistake. he came back with: "It is not a doctor's job to "create notes" for legal purposes. But perhaps you can find another doctor to help you with this. I'm sure you have seen plenty of doctors" while i found his last comment extremely condescending, i did my best to not react. this was my last, recent reply: "i am not asking you to just create notes. i am asking for an addendum to my original notes so that they may accurately reflect my experience and my health. it was your mistake that that dates are wrong and only you are in control of setting things straight. it is your job to give me notes from our appointment, which i paid $450 for. i believe it is the least you can do. i cannot ask another doctor to "help me" because it is the original notes from the appointment with you that are in question. i have not seen "plenty of doctors" and i am not sure what you are implying by saying that. please, i am not asking for more than a quick addendum added to my appointment visit summary, where i indicated in my original email that mistakes were made." what more can i do if he refuses to help me? i am not sure what he is gaining by withholding from me other than a power trip. also, is he required to give me accurate notes? TDLR; a doctor is refusing to correct mistakes pertaining to dates of illness in my patient notes and it is inhibiting me from seeing legal recourse. [link] [comments]  |
| [GA] Neighbors dogs keep rushing me and my dogs when I'm walking them on my property Posted: 26 Oct 2020 11:47 AM PDT So here's what's going on, my neighbor moved in about 6 months ago and has started breeding these huge pit bull dogs, like they're not the normal breed I don't know what you could call them but they're massive. And five times now all six of them have rushed me and my dogs when I walk him in my yard. I've spoken to the guy that handles these dogs and the owner each time but they don't seem to be heeding my concerns. I'm afraid one of my dogs are going to be attacked and killed one of these days since these assholes evidently aren't going to do anything to keep their dogs under control. What can I do legally to put a stop to this? I can't afford a fence or I would have already had one installed so I'm kind of spinning my wheels in mud here. [link] [comments]  |
