    Employer wants me to sign a termination agreement, but doing so changes my non-compete agreement. They are withholding my paycheck now.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 04:20 AM PST

    I live in New Jersey. At the start of December, I gave notice as I received an offer at a new job. My last day was Dec 24th. The employer sent me a termination letter and asked me to sign. The letter has a different non compete agreement compared to the agreement I did sign when I was hired. The HR person sent me a text stating they will be 'unable to pay me for December until the agreement is signed'. If I sign it, I will be in violation of the new non compete agreement (but not my original one). What should I do here?

    Here is the text of the new agreement they want me to sign:

    Employee is not taking up the job as an employee, officer, director, partner, consultant, agent, owner, or engage in any other capacity with a competing company, Customer, Prospects, and Vendor Partner of (Company Name).

    And here is the text of the old agreement, which I did sign:

    You acknowledge and recognize the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its affiliates and accordingly agree that while you are employed with the Company, you will not directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any business that competes with the business of the Company or its affiliates (including, without limitation, businesses which the Company or its affiliates have specific plans to conduct in the future and as to which you are aware of such planning), (ii) enter the employ of, render any services to, any person engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Company or its affiliates, (iii) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any person engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Company or its affiliates, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant, or (iv) interfere with business relationships (whether formed before or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company or any of its affiliates and customers, suppliers, partners, members or investors of the Company or its affiliates.

    Can I take my ex to court to protect our son (6m) from my ex's future stepdaughter (12f)

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:23 PM PST

    My (27f) ex (30m) and I have a 6yo son. My ex lives in TN with his now fiancee and her 12yo daughter while my son and I love in IN. I have primary and majority custody.

    About 6 months ago my some told me that the daughter had molested him "a long time ago". Which explains the behavioral issues we've been dealing with for over a year. He's been in therapy Since I found out. And since then I have refused visitation unless the daughter is gone. My ex has been pretty mad at me about it.

    He told me on friday that he was proposing to his gf this weekend and that he wanted both our son and her daughter to be there. I refused and he told me I needed to "get over it." And that he "can't keep the kids apart forever"

    My question is, if I take him to court, can I take his custody rights away due to him choosing to continue to put our child in danger??

    Edit; -Both kids are in therapy. -CPS was contacted by both me and the girls mother and did absolutely nothing even after multiple calls and using a friend's connections. -My son has seen his dad since we found out. But only when the daughter wasn't there. -My ex, his fiancee, and myself all get along fine. We've had multiple discussions about the situation and all voiced concern for her daughter as well. What they choose to do with their concern is on them. I can't cross that line.

    I found a credit card in my Christmas gift

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 05:50 AM PST

    My girlfriend gave me a new wallet with a personalized leather covering for Christmas. The interior wallet is a plastic mechanism that pushes out the cards when you press a button. When I took off the cover, I discovered a credit card shoved between the plastic and the leather. It is not signed but looks used, will expire a few years from now, and by all accounts appears to be real. It is a company card and I've verified that the person and company listed are both real, but hundreds of miles away from us (we're in IN) with no apparent tie to the business that sold my girlfriend the wallet. Should I notify the credit card company, contact the owner directly, contact the wallet vendor, or just destroy the card and move on? I'm really curious as to how it got into my possession and would want to let the owner know that I have it so I can mail it back. My girlfriend is afraid that we will be accused of stealing the card and responsible for any purchases that might have been made on it between it being lost and found by us. Thoughts?

    Iowa, semi-urgent - could use a little advice within a couple hours if possible. Neighbor's relative (child) was injured on my property after falling off equipment being used by a utility to do work in an easement and neighbor wants my homeowner's insurance information.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 10:22 AM PST

    Hi all I could use some advice. I have a time sensitive issue as my neighbor plans to stop by my house after work.

    Anyway, the situation - a utility company was doing work in an easement on my property. They had a large backhoe (I think). They did not complete their work prior to Christmas, so they left the equipment on site over Christmas.

    On Christmas Day my neighbor had relatives over and several were children who played outside. I am told that one of the kids tried to climb up to the top of the backhoe but fell off. My neighbor says his arm was broken and he needed stitches to both his arm and his head, which he hit.

    I was not told of this situation until this morning. In the mean time the company returned, finished their work and removed the equipment. But this morning I found my neighbor in my yard taking photos of the area where the work was done. That is when she told me what happened. She confirmed that the child was taken to the ER and has been treated. She then told me she had to leave so the conversation ended.

    A couple minutes after she left she texted me saying she is going to stop by my house after work and needs my homeowners insurance information to give to her relative for their medical bills. She told me what time she will be coming and asked me to write it down and put it in my mailbox and she will pick it up.

    My most pressing question is: is it okay to give her my homeowner's insurance information? If I do so I don't want it later to be called admitting fault or something, and I'm also worried about the possibility of my rates going up if this isn't legally my responsibility.

    Second question being - is this my responsibility? While they were injured on my property, I am told they were injured while falling off a piece of equipment left by a utility company. This was not my equipment and I was not consulted in their decision to leave it on my property over Christmas (I did not even know they were doing work until I came home and found my yard ripped up, and the workers were gone).

    If there is anything else I should be doing right now I would appreciate any advice. I have obviously not been in this type of situation before and I don't want to do anything stupid or give out anything I shouldn't. Thank you.

    I was arrested in Maine yesterday for fishing without a license when I was 17 "10 years ago."

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 08:29 AM PST

    What is the statute of limitations for fishing without a license? Also the officer that provided the citation is retired. What should my plan of actions be?

    Ps. there is no flair for fish and game and or wildlife management.

    Also I am not a Maine resident.

    I personally handed my landlord a check for rent that he says has gotten stolen and he says I am violating my lease contract by giving it and not mailing it, my question is do I have to write a new check and be out twice as much money?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 01:11 PM PST

    STATE: ILLINOIS

    My rent is due monthly obviously and normally I send it in the mailbox to my landlord. At the end of November he came to the house to look at a problem. I hadn't mailed the check yet, so I just gave it to him (because he was already there) instead of mailing. He said nothing against it, accepted it and said Thanks.

    Then on 12/19 he texted me asking me to put a stop payment on the check with my bank, and to write him a new check. I contacted my bank who said the check had already cleared so it could no longer have a stop payment done. They showed me how to find the check in my account and it is signed with my landlord's name.

    I told him the check was already cashed and he says that someone cashed it and forged his signature. I was confused because I literally handed him the check, but he says someone stole it from him. I brought up the signature and he said he signed it after receiving it to save time at the bank but didn't have time to get to the bank to deposit it so it stayed in his car and someone must have stolen it from his car.

    My bank says that they opened an investigation to see if they can determine more information about who cashed the check. They told me I do not need to do aything for my own security at the present time.

    But now I have a problem that my landlord says I need to write him a new check. I said no, I gave him the check directly, he signed it, the money is gone from my account.

    He turned it around and says now I am violating my lease contract. My lease says "Rent must be paid by check or money order via postal mail to (HIS ADDRESS) and is due on the 1st of every calendar month. There is a grace period of four (4) days to account for mailing time but if rent is not received by the 4th of the calendar month a late fee..."

    So he is claiming that I cheated my lease by giving him the check in person where my lease says I legally have to mail it to him. But that seems stupid considering that when I offered it to him he accepted and said thanks, he didn't say "No you must mail this."

    He is insisting that I write another check to him saying that because the check I wrote was stolen, my rent was not actually paid and I still owe rent for the month so I need to pay him an additional check. That means I'm basically out money for what is more his failure to protect the check after signing it, right?

    Hope that you can advise. Thank you /r/legaladvice.

    They want me to pay $9100 for an apartment I’ve never stepped foot in (CA)

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 01:17 PM PST

    In 2018 I went to look at an Apartment for college students. Before even looking at the sample space, the tour guide asked me to sign a paper which she specified was not a Lease, and was just a precaution for the apartment in case anything happened to it while I was looking at it.

    Now, I've finally gotten around to checking my credit report and it says I have a collections out for my name for $9100! When I figure out who was responsible for the collections, I called the apartment complex and told the manager my situation. She told me what I had signed was in fact a lease, and though I had never even seen the actual apartment, I was responsible for payment. She also emailed me a copy of the "Lease" that I signed, and it doesn't even have my actual signature. It just has my name typed in cursive font at the bottom of all 9 pages.

    I know for sure that I did not sign all those papers because obviously I would've seen that it says "Rental Agreement" at the top. Plus, my "signature" isn't even a signature. It's literally my name typed out in cursive font at the bottom of each page. Anybody could've typed that out.

    What can I do?

    My neighbor's tree fell and hit the power lines. The power company called a tree removal service. Their removal caused damage to our house. Now we're being given the runaround. Who is liable?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 09:42 AM PST

    Last year, a tree in my next-door neighbor's front yard fell. The neighbor called the power company because the tree had fallen on the power lines between our houses. At this point, no damage had been done to our home.

    The power company sent someone out to survey the damage, and then called a tree trimming/removal service to cut the tree down.

    When the tree removal company cut down a particularly large section, it fell on the side of our house, destroying our gutters and metal siding. We took tons of pictures as proof.

    We confronted our neighbor. She argued that because the damage to our home was technically caused by the tree removal service and not the neighbor's tree when it fell, she was not responsible. So we called the tree removal service to ask that they pay for the repairs. After several weeks of back-and-forth between departments, we were told that it would be the power company's responsibility, as they were the ones who called the tree removal service.

    So we called the power company, leaving message after message, being shifted and bounced around from person to person. After several more weeks, we *finally* got someone to agree to come out and take a look at the damage.

    They simply showed up, took one look at our gnarled and dangling gutters, and told us they weren't responsible and to contact the tree removal service.

    We just want the damage fixed. Who is liable in this situation?

    EDIT: We live in Alabama.

    I (30m) share custody of my son (9m) with my ex wife (30f) and I’m just fed up with her lifestyle and habits and I am able to provide a much more suitable life for him growing up. What is my best course of action?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 11:50 PM PST

    She's always been a poor decision maker and bad with money and dependent on others but it's really come to a climax at this point and I feel the need to do something about it right now.

    So we've been divorced since our son was 3 years old. Ever since then we have shared physical and legal custody week-to-week. He stay with her and then me week on/week off.

    She was married again after me and then divorced and now she's with another guy. They live in a 1br apartment on a really rough side of town. Our son always comes back reeking of cigarette smoke.

    She's been acting especially weird lately and I'm suspecting hard drugs are involved even though I've never known her to have a history with them and I don't have any true evidence of it and here's why.

    She's been sleeping through everything. A couple months ago our son had a dentist appointment at 8am and I had told her about it and she agreed to let me pick him up and take him there but when I get to her house and call, she doesn't answer. And then she doesn't get back with me until noon and says they overslept.

    And then a few weeks after that she was supposed to pick him up at 5:30pm for her week and he's all set to go with his shoes and jacket on and she doesn't show and doesn't answer her phone. She doesn't get in touch with me until 9:00pm and says she overslept.

    Then last Monday we had agreed that I would pick him up at 5:30pm for my week and I get to her house and she doesn't answer and I wait 30 minutes, calling repeatedly. No answer. I went and followed through with my plans that night which were supposed to include him, and calling intermittently, and I start to get concerned. Finally, 9:00pm rolls around and I decided to call the police non-emergency line to do a wellness check. The police told me to meet them there and they would help me figure it out. So I arrive at her place again that night and the police are supposed to be coming soon, but I call her one more time, and she finally answers, sounding really fatigued. She said she will send him down and so I call the police back and tell them never mind and I've got it handled. She said that she overslept.

    So that night after all that, I bring him home and he shares that he was looking out the window and he says he could see me out front and he tried to wake her up but she wouldn't wake up. And that he told her I was out front and she told him, "no, it's probably somebody else." And that also her and her boyfriend are constantly fighting (but not physically) and screaming at each other day in and day out, and that they stay in their room quite a bit with the door always locked. And he told me that sometimes he hears his mom in the bedroom screaming "help me!" And then when he goes to check on her she tells him to go back to bed. He also shared that his mom's grandmother passed away a couple weeks ago and he wanted to go to the funeral and they were expected to be there but his mom overslept and his moms mom was furious about them missing the funeral. He also shared that he often has to make his own food when his mom is sleeping.

    Our son says that he would rather stay with me at my place. I've got a good relationship with my live-in fiancée and we also have 2 children (8f and 6m) who were our foster children and now we have guardianship over them. Everyone here get along, there is no fighting or screaming, other than sometimes between the kids but it's resolved rather quickly and growing up with siblings I feel that's pretty normal. There is plenty of space for everyone and we keep it clean and we've got plenty of resources to provide a happy stable life. We live in a nice neighborhood where the kids can go outside and ride their bikes around and they've got lots of neighbor friends who they are all close with.

    My fiancée thinks that we need to call CPS on my son's mom and let CPS do their investigation and take it from there. My mom thinks I need to file a motion or and exparte with the court.

    And so I was just trying to think of the right way to handle this all week and then I went to drop him off tonight. I never knew exactly which unit they lived in so I thought I would walk him up to their apartment door and maybe peek inside and see what it's like in there. So I go up and knock on the door and some older, rough looking guy who I haven't seen before answers the door and gathered who I was and invited me inside. First thing you see when you walk in is a sink overflowing with dirty dishes, the apartment reeks of cigarette smoke, and they've got 4 huge bags of trash just sitting in their kitchen. The mom's boyfriend sees me and immediately runs away and doesn't say hi or anything. My son shows me his "room" which is really supposed to be a dining room and there's just a loveseat, a blanket, and a tv. No dresser, no things of his. Just that. And that's where he's living every alternate week. This is not how I ever envisioned my child would be growing up. Just imagining him sorting through that mess of trash and dirty dishes trying to find himself something to eat while his mom is sleeping the day away doesn't sit right with me at all. I am ready to do something about it. She's not prioritizing being a parent. This is not the environment I want my son spending time in.

    I didn't see any drugs or anything truly incriminating when I went in there though.

    And the apartment is above a smoke shop and I've seen lots of shady people going in and out of there while sitting out there waiting for her to answer her phone. And he says that sometime the smoke shop workers watch him and he hangs out there without his mom.

    And then to make things even more complicated, at the beginning of this moth she asked me to have him an extra week because they needed to move because they were getting evicted for not paying rent. And so I had him an extra week and they didn't move and now they say they're going to try to stay there for a few more months without paying the rent, or so I've gathered. And their only option currently is moving in with the boyfriend's mom who lives 40is minutes away from the school he goes to. His school is currently online but it's going to be trouble for her to get him to school and back living that far away and with only one working vehicle.

    All in all, he's just a lot better off living with me where things are stable and secure.

    This is in Grand Rapids, MI, by the way. Any help or advise is sincerely appreciated! Thank you and thanks for reading!!! I'm happy to provide any more details you may need.

    Impound lot in Dade County Florida holding my sister's car hostage and charging her for storage

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 10:41 AM PST

    So long story short my sister got her car impounded for late payment. She paid off the delinquent balance and the car is due to be released to her. The impound lot told her that pickup is by appointment only and the next available appointment is next week (the car is supposed to be cleared for release 24 hours post payment) . They also said they will continue to charge her for storage by the day until her appointment next week. Is this illegal? Can she sue?

    Is it legal for an employer to spy on text messages on your personal phone (not company issued).

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 08:59 AM PST

    Location: Texas, US

    Apologies for not including the location initially.

    I'm trying to convince my mother in law to go to the board and a lawyer about an incident that occurred recently. Her boss is a jerk, but so far had not crossed any lines where I felt there was a strong case to act on. Just general talking down to his employees, making them do trivial things to flex his authority, etc.... But recently my MIL got written up and during this conversation, it was revealed to her that her boss was upset about something she had texted about him. The problem here is that this is her personal cell phone, it's not issued to her by the company and it's not utilized in any way for work related things. The boss justified his spying by showing her the companies social media policy.

    I'm not a lawyer, but I can't find anything online suggesting that this is alright. Social media is facebook, twitter, etc... not texts in my eyes. I don't even know how he was able to read the texts, she has a password so I feel like his methods to obtain the texts had to be against the law since she's never signed anything giving consent to be monitored on her personal devices.

    He recorded the conversation for some reason when he wrote her up, so my wife and I got her to request a copy which her boss obliged. He mentions the texts in the conversation so he's admitted that he has access to her personal texts. What can I do to help her?

    HOA member trying to run a licensed business out of their home. USA-MI

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 10:39 AM PST

    I am a board member of the HOA. We have a resident that is apparently running a licensed elder care facility for Alzheimer's patients out of their home that we were unaware of. They recently submitted a request to knock down their attached garage and replace it with an addition so they can accommodate more patients.

    We want to block this as our deed restrictions state the neighborhood is for residential use only (and also has restrictions about there must be an attached two car garage on the property) but were told by a lawyer recently in a consultation that the courts will favor the special needs over our HOA restrictions.

    I find this absolutely ridiculous that the resident could knowingly violate the deed restrictions that they agreed to when they bought the home and could still win a lawsuit if sued.

    Is this true that our legal deed restrictions could just be invalidated like that? Would we as an HOA have any recourse?

    (TX) My neighbor keeps bringing his dog to poop on my lawn. What can I do?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:21 PM PST

    The neighbor's dog is always leashed. The neighbor deliberately walks the dog to my front lawn to poop and urinate on it. I've caught him doing this several times over the past few months. At this point my front lawn is covered with dog turds.

    Whenever I confront the neighbor in the act and ask him to refrain from doing this again and clean up after his pet he just completely ignores me and walks off.

    This has been going on for several months ever since the new neighbor moved in.

    What are my options at this point?

    Dad who lives alone admitted to hospital. Ex wife and kids broke into house, now have spare key. What do I do?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 06:43 AM PST

    This is in Georgia US. My dad went into the hospital on Christmas for a stroke. His ex lives down the street and my 2 brothers (13 and 14) started living with her at the start of this year. They went into his house without permission through his broken back door. They seem to have found a spare key and now they were doing laundry at his house yesterday.

    They stole from him before and we don't trust them at all. Can me and his mom get the locked changed, or do we not have that right? His kids haven't lived with him in a year so I assume that what they are doing is considered trespassing.

    I'm not trying to take legal action at the moment because my dad wouldn't want it. However my dad is unable to communicate right now and I don't want them having free roam until he does.

    Goods ordered and arrived, but without an invoice

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:20 PM PST

    Hi,

    I ordered goods from a website from Sweden (I'm from germany) on black Friday. The goods arrived, but without an invoice. The goods I ordered are worth around 1300€. My account on their website says that I didn't order anything. I wrote them three emails, but they say I didn't order anything. I'm not sure what to do now, I have the goods, but didn't pay them cause there is no invoice. The company told me that I didn't order anything.

    Can I just ignore it now? How much time they have left to send me an invoice?

    My guest (mother) invited her guest to my home and fell down our steps. Advice?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 09:32 AM PST

    (KY) About two months ago my mother was staying at my home and invited a friend over. The friend came inside and proceeded to accidentally fall down our basement stairs and break both wrists. She refused an ambulance, so I took her to the emergency room. While getting her purse from her car, I noticed she had an open beer in her car. She hasn't filed a claim (that I know of) but what could I expect if she does and how long does she have to file?

    Gym permanently closed after taking fees

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 02:00 PM PST

    Location: Florida

    I'm not sure if this is even the right place for this... but I stopped going to my gym in March due to covid, and since about June I've been trying to cancel my membership. Finally in November they just charged me $90 for membership renewal... and now I tried again to call to cancel the membership... and they have permanently closed... no website, no contact info (number is cancelled), no response on messengers, obviously no physical building to walk in to...

    Am I just SOL for that money? I don't want to go through a lot of hoopla just for $90 but it would sure help to have that back considering a permanent closure a month later isn't exactly my fault... and I've been trying to contact them for months now... ☹️

    If nothing else, hearing some agreement with how annoying that is would be great 😅😅

    NJ Employer - can we fire?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 11:20 AM PST

    Throwaway account because duh.

    I am General Counsel for a company located in NJ. We have been working remotely since March and we have a socially distant in office meeting weekly which may be physically attended or employees that don't want to come into the office are able to dial in. We have an executive assistant who went out on maternity leave in April, had the baby, and went to live with her mom in a midwestern state (not drivable). Since being "back" from maternity, she hasn't been 100% available 9-5 as requested and our boss is mad that she cannot come into the office to help him with certain things (like filing papers) because she essentially moved out of state. She is his assistant and a large part of her job is picking things up for him, filing papers, managing the office, etc.

    Are we allowed to fire her despite having to comply with Executive Orders stating we must make remote work available?

    Marital property scam

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:17 PM PST

    I live in Missouri. Divorcing couple (separated since mid-2018) owns a mobile home, free and clear. They pay lot rent for property it sits on for $275 a month. Prior to the divorce hearing, they are served with papers for the property to be seized because the husband (who is still living in the mobile home) hasn't paid the lot rent for well over a year. Mobile home is not in condition to be moved.

    The landlord gets a judgment for possession of the property a week prior to the divorce. The mobile home is then taken off the list of assets for the divorce.

    3 days after the divorce is final, husband contacts ex-wife and asks her to sign the title over since they lost it, rather than make them go through a whole thing. She signs.

    Finds out that he actually found a way to retain ownership of the asset, and now she has been screwed out of her 50% of the value. Unclear if he is moving it to retain ownership, or if he sold it prior to the property owner locking up the property. Is there anything she can do? Total value of the mobile home is less than $10k.

    So a bit of background info I help deliver stuff on truck routes/don't drive yet. Sometimes I accidentally fall asleep on the way to the first stop between the hours of 3-5 am. There is no problem with sleeping or anything on the way to the first stop but this morning the first stop only had one dolly load to take in and my coworker didn't want to wake me up (he says it just wasn't necessary since they only have one dolly, I want to be woken up tho either way like I feel worse about not waking up than anyone in this situation)

    A couple stops later my boss calls me cussing me out making it 100% clear if I'm asleep at a stop again I'm immediately terminated and left there and I will not have a ride.

    He knows I wouldn't have anyone that would pick me up either, I just got a car to start working like two days ago. For four months almost every single day, any weather conditions, below freezing, etc. I rode a skateboard over 4 miles there and 4 miles back home because I don't have a lot of friends with cars and no ones willing to go out of there way for me like that which is okay.

    If that were to happen though I'd be walking back for literally days and what if I just paid bills and diddnt have any money? I wouldn't be able to eat or drink for days and I couldn't get myself to ask for change or anything like that. Hitch hiking doesn't work for me either maybe I'm ugly or something but like there's been plenty of times I still got a couple miles to go in bad weather at 2 or 3 am and I've been desperate enough to try getting any random car to stop for me and they won't.

    I did get my feelings hurt but moving past that like can they actually do that to me? If they do what can I do about it? One more bit of info, I've never slept through a stop or anything on purpose I make significant efforts to make sure I'm up but we work like 14-16 hours a day Monday-Friday at odd times. I have two kids and do side jobs when I can as well.

    Edit: idk If this matters or not either but anywhere they'd ditch me would be a multiple day walk back. Like google maps from my location rn says 2 days 11 hours on foot and this is one of the closer routes

    Can I sign a letter of resignation retroactively? The employer wants me to sign a resignation letter retroactively. They are withholding my paycheck now without it.

    EDIT: I have sent a resignation letter and noticed that I want to quit on January 31st (the resignation letter was signed by me today). But my employer wants me to correct the signature date for December 1st. Location: Maryland

    Can a minor write legal documents

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:55 PM PST

    Hi have a bit of an issue.
    My dad just received some legal documents in regards to a motion being made against him in the family court. I've been adamant on the fact that he should hire a lawyer if he wants to have any chance of winning this case or even changing the terms of the motion since they seem unreasonable, except he refuses to because his last case he lost even though he hired a lawyer. I have better things to do then write legal documents for him, as my college apps are due soon, so I'm wondering if it is even legal for a minor (I'm 17) to be writing his legal documents or if there could be some repercussions if someone finds out about it.

    Received demand letter from a previous business I don't own

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 11:03 AM PST

    Hi All,

    Somebody just delivered me a demand letter stating that my business was renamed and I owe this landlord an outstanding 70k.

    This business is in city A, I opened in city B. We're both a convenience store, and business A closed down 6 months ago. I just opened yesterday and I get this letter from somebody saying I moved the business and renamed it. It addressed the previous business and my business.

    A little about me:
    I just moved here 3 months ago. Never been in this state/city prior to then and the first business I ever opened under my name.

    I did some research and it all looks legit to me the lawyer has a website and phone number matches.

    Do I need a lawyer at this point? Am I being trolled by somebody?

    UPS picked up my return package from inside my house, gave me a receipt to confirm, then dragged it on the concrete - ripping it and getting wet mud all over it then changed their mind about taking it and left it outside.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 04:21 PM PST

    I had a scheduled UPS pick up today for a mattress. The mattress was wrapped and prepared. When UPS arrived he took a look at it and said "yeah i'm not sure this is gonna work" but took it anyways. He gave me a receipt to confirm the pick up and went about doing his job.

    The driver dragged the mattress out to the concrete which ripped the packaging and mattress up pretty bad - packaging that cost me well over $15. He continued to drag it then decided he might need something with wheels to carry this 150 lb object. He got the little carrier with wheels and took it and threw the package in the back of his truck. After seeing him complete his job, I close the door and call it a day.

    15 minutes later he comes knocking on my door and says "it just aint gonna work" and leaves the package outside. I was shocked especially because he had given me a receipt confirming that this was over and done with. After that I drag the package back in and sat confused af over this. I even took a picture of him dragging and ripped the package in case I needed proof that he's at fault for a ripped mattress and not me.

    30 minutes later the driver comes back knocking on my door demanding I give him the "paperwork" that he left earlier. I was very confused and told him he didn't leave any paperwork, but he insisted that he did and he barged into my living room looking for it after which I screamed that he gets tf out. He did. But, now I realize he's talking about the receipt. I have no idea what this means, what to do, or how to proceed or where to even post this.

    Any advice would be appreciated.
