| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:02 AM PST I've been hearing from all my friends that even though my employer is self employed and works shifts, that she still isn't allowed to take any of the tips because she's the employer and all tips must go to employees only. I'm assuming that all of the extra credit card and cash tips she ends up keeping herself. I've read the labor laws of Washington State where I work and it states that employers cannot take any tips under any circumstance. They can't even do tip credits in Washington State. Is she allowed to take the tips and pay it to her employees as a set 0.50 an hour and keep the rest for herself? I feel that she is taking advantage of all the employees. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 03:26 AM PST Hi. I (21F) live in a cozy 800 square foot apartment with two next door neighbors and none above or below. I work from home due to covid and usually late hours. My desk and computer are in my bedroom next to my bed, which happens to have a shared bedroom wall. I started this job in January and since day one she has complained about my talking late at night. I'm a very soft spoken person and also usually at work on calls with headphones on so I'm definitely not screaming or anything like that. After the first complaint I moved my entire room around so my desk is facing away, and got some sound proofing to help, but I guess she can still hear me. She is insistent that I either move my desk to my living room which would require selling furniture to make space, or "face legal consequences." I checked the lease and it doesn't mention anything specific about noise, only that it's kept to a reasonable amount. Could she possibly get me evicted if she keeps complaining, or could she get lawyers involved? Thanks. Also I'm in Colorado if that helps. Edit: thanks for all the posts and help! I talked to my girlfriend this morning and she's going to help me get some new furniture that would fit better in such a small space so I can be my living room. Hopefully things will stop.

| Posted: 28 Feb 2021 03:16 PM PST Basically what the title says. My wife and I both wanted to pursue careers that require advanced degrees. We came up with a plan for each of us to work full time while putting the other through school. For the past five years I've worked to help put her through the last two years of her bachelor's degree and three years of law school. She's graduating in May. In this time, I've covered all of our expenses, rent, utilities, as well as payments to her loans. At the end of this semester there will be about $75k worth of loans that I am co-signed for. When I excitedly spoke of how much better things will be once she graduates, she was very non-committal and kept saying, "We'll see," when I talked about applying for my program. Two weeks ago, I was served with divorce papers. I was completely blindsided by this. When I asked her for an explanation, she simply replied that we'd been growing apart for a while and she needed to find her happiness. I found out this weekend that she met someone in school. He is the son of a named partner of a prominent law firm. She wants the student loan debt split 50/50 in the divorce. She is asking for no spousal support as she does not need it. When I responded that if she's going to be working as an attorney that I would be filing for spousal support, she called me a bunch of emasculating names and said, "It's over, okay? You need to let me go and be happy for me." I have barely eaten or slept since this happened. I have a consultation with a divorce attorney on Wednesday. I just feel hopeless. She hasn't worked in five years, is she free to just walk away and leave me with nothing? I know she has no income right now, but her earning will be significant in the future. Am I totally screwed?

| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 09:20 AM PST TU says bank where home equity loan is from had tagged me deceased rather than my wife. TU is cleaning the file but it takes up to 5 days. Bank says they did not do this. Meanwhile, I have two more days to buy the lease at a very good price relative to essentially zero mileage driven last 12 months. I'll pay cash, extend the lease or something but I am wondering if I have any legal claim? More that may or may not matter: My only asset is my home. No IRA as my professional wife had a large one and my earnings were used for most major expenses. But the IRA went directly to my grown children as beneficiaries since, and this is assumption, she didn't expect to die at 74. I'm 69 The financial, probate pains and trying to maintain a crashing credit score while in mourning has nearly driven me crazy. Then I learn it's all a mistake. I'm not a litigious person but this just seems so wrong. Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| My dad and now the rest of my family is being harassed by a lady, mostly over the phone Posted: 01 Mar 2021 06:37 AM PST My dad has a friend who left his wife and she is very angry about it. She keeps taking it out on my dad and my family for still being friends with her husband. She has called the police on my dad saying he is selling drugs and trying to plan a murder (They came over to check it out and saw he clearly wasnt). She constantly drives by the house honking at us. One day I was unloading things out of my car and she drove up as close as she could speeding up and almost hit me. She also sends horrible text messages to my dad and brother, like "your mom is dead" "I know you are out on your motorcycle, you made it home this time but you wont be so lucky next time" "Your father is a bag of rotten shit and you are too. You are too stupid to do anything with your life and too poor for college...." The problem is she uses an app to change her phone number so she always texts from a different random number. We have contacted the police for several of these events, such as nearly hitting me with the car and when she called the police on my dad. They know who she is but they keep saying that they cant prove anything since we didn't have film of her driving by and she uses a different number. Is there anything that we can do to stop her? She sends these texts multiple times a day. Always nasty stuff, much worse than the examples I've given. My dad has kept all the texts but they are different phone numbers. Please help if you can this is getting out of hand. We live in Florida. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 07:22 AM PST We remodeled our bathroom through a local remodeling company with good reviews. The work was completed in early December 2020. The actual work was mostly done through subcontractors. We never had contact with these subcontractors as they were managed by the remodeling company. I made the final payment to the remodeling company when the work was completed and have receipts to back that up. I live in Wisconsin. Yesterday I received via Certified Mail a "Notice Of Intent To File Claim Of Lien" from one of the subcontractors. This notice claims that the tile subcontractor never received payment for the work they did ($2250). The notice names me as the "Property Owner", the remodeling company as the "Hiring Party" and the subcontractor was the "Notifying Party". The notice is giving me 30 days notice, as required by state law, before they file a lien against my home. My current understanding is that one of these situations occurred:
I could contact the remodeling company and try to rule out some of the possibilities. However I am afraid to do this until I fully understand the situation and have legal advice. I have tried to contact local attorneys but every one I have contacted so far is not interested. I am wondering how I should proceed. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it unethical for me to contact the lawyer who is suing my employer? (WA State) Posted: 01 Mar 2021 11:43 AM PST Hello, r/legaladvice. Thanks for taking the time to read this in advance. I understand a lawyer would be to my advantage but I'm extremely broke and in a bad situation so I'm trying to explore some options first. My former employer is being sued by a customer who happens to be a lawyer (so is her husband, big mistake to burn them but he's not very bright). I am not named in the lawsuit (I was just an employee) but am named as a potential witness, though have not seen subpoena from either side yet. Former boss also owes me ~$20k in a combination of back wages and money that I loaned the company (I can elaborate on that more if needed, but it's ancillary to my primary question). He's now threatening to close his business and file bankruptcy. As I understand it, if he does this, I'm pretty screwed on collecting what he owes me because the company has no meaningful assets and that is the only means for me to collect as he's personally not liable for corporate debts since he's an S Corp. Here's where it gets interesting: the lawyers who are suing him foresaw this, and successfully got a Writ of Attachment to force the sale of his house if they win. Their legal argument is that he, the President of the company, mismanaged company funds (including money they paid him) for personal gain thus he's personally liable for their claim despite the corporate shield. They cited some case law for a similar situation that seems pretty compelling to me, but I'm obviously no legal expert. Anyway, I have recently come into some information from another employee who had access to the company's books and showed me that the lawyer's assertion is more or less correct. He was constantly using company checking accounts for personal expenditures and otherwise mismanaging money very, very badly. I've also witnessed what I now know to be several improprieties regarding company expenditures. I also know that the lawyers are gathering information from other former customers, possibly to form a broader case, with the assumption that they're going to force the sale of his home and possibly other assets to collect what he owes everyone in exchange for testimony. Since I have no attachment to the company anymore and basically no chance of being reimbursed, can I reach out to the lawyers to find out if they are organizing other customers as part of their Writ of Attachment? Is that unethical? When she was a customer we had a good working relationship so I do not believe there is personal animosity. That said I understand her primary concern is getting her own case solved, but we may be able to help one another. I just need to make sure before I do that I'm not violating any sort of ethical boundaries. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2021 05:10 AM PST Long story short, I recently moved into a house in Pennsylvania. An oil provider made a delivery to the house for the previous resident who had passed away. I was completely unaware that this was going to happen and didn't know it had for a few weeks. I'm fine with paying for the oil, but I feel like expecting me to pay hundreds in late fees for a transaction committed without my consent or knowledge is kind of sketchy. Do I have any leverage to make the company drop the late fees? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 05:58 AM PST TL;DR- I took my car to my insurance company's recommended shop in October. The car was delivered to me in an unsafe working condition with incomplete repairs after months of waiting. The collision center failed to meet deadlines several times, and when my car was finally released to me, it was in an unsafe condition. It broke down after a few days. It is now March, and I still don't have my vehicle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's what I'd like to know:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND I was the victim of a hit and run in October of last year in Florida. This was the first accident I'd been in my life, so I didn't really know how to handle everything. I went with my insurance provider's recommended body shop, thinking things would be easier in the long run. Little did I know that would be the worst decision of my life. Initially, I was given an estimated completion date in early November, but the date came and went with no sign of my car. I would regularly call the shop to figure out what was going on, and I was told something different every time. I would get regular text message updates and communications from the technician working on my car, and I responded several times asking for a date of completion. The technician responded, and he gave me several estimated dates of completion that kept getting pushed back. I filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. My insurance company offered me a rental, and initially they only paid for 10 days of service... so I ended up getting charged for the rest. I complained and got reimbursed for 20 more days of coverage... but it wasn't enough to survive on. By December, I was under a lot of stress. I had no way to get to work, so I was burning a hole in my pocket on Uber and bugging friends just to get place to place. COVID was in full swing, and people were coming out hard and rude at service workers. I was under so much stress from my situation and everything else going on that I developed ulcers. I already had medical problems from the accident, and this made it worse. Then I found out that my grandfather in another state-who raised me- was dying from bladder cancer and kidney failure without anyone to take care of him. My boss noticed how stressed I was and fired me because my performance "wasn't the same." No shit. Before the accident, I was early to work 15 mins every day, and I would Uber on the weekends to make some more money. My world was upside down, and I couldn't afford my living expenses without my car. During this time I was researching how I could remedy my situation. By mid-January, I was not in a good place. After countless deadlines passed on my car, I asked that my car be completed by the most recent estimated date of completion that the collision center gave me OR that they release my car so it could be taken care of at another body shop. On Jan 22nd, I got a call that repairs on my car were complete. The collision center manager took me out to my car, reviewed the repairs, I paid my $500 deductible, and I was on my merry way out-of-state to help my dying grandfather. Since I just got my car back, I took it easy, so I drove for no more than 4 hours at a time. Stopped plenty of times for rest. Nothing extreme or out of the ordinary. But I noticed how my headlights would get brighter when I accelerated. By January 28th, my car wasn't starting. My back passenger side door also was not able to shut. The plastic securing the back seat to my car had a giant hole in it, and the seats actually popped out of place. I took the car to a local body shop to get inspected, and I was floored with what they found. Unwelded parts, rusted parts that should've been weatherized, parts that were welded together that shouldn't be, and the worst of all, zip ties securing my brakes and suspension. The mechanics who looked at my vehicle told me it was a miracle I was alive and that the car was not released to me in safe driving condition. Ironically, around the same time, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services reached out to the collision center that initially looked at my vehicle. The Collision Center Director called me and offered to pay back my deductible of $500 as a "good will payment." He also reassured me that he fired the technician working on my vehicle. I responded that I did not want to accept any goodwill payment UNTIL I received my car back in safe working condition. I've contacted my insurance company throughout this, and the last message they gave to me was, "The auto collision center director is going to pay with his own personal money for the repairs at your local shop" DESPITE the fact that the local shop is also affiliated with my insurance company. They also falsified information to the Florida Deparment of Agriculture and Consumer Services, claiming that I had my vehicle for "weeks" before it broke down. They also retroactively created a claim with a date in January before I got my car back. I have a receipt of my deductible payment to prove this. If anything, I think my insurance company should still be on the hook for the incomplete repairs, and the Collision Center does owe me a good faith payment. During this time, my insurance adjuster has been a nightmare to work with. He was often unresponsive, gave me incomplete information, and initially charged me for the rental in full. It is now March 1st. I still do not have a working vehicle. I've been making $150 insurance payments and $400 auto loan payments every month just so my car could sit in body shops. I have lost a job, been put under incredible stress, and my life was put in danger due to neglect. EDIT: The only upside to all of this is that I'm currently with my grandfather, making happy memories with him while I still can. [link] [comments]  |
| Children's mother moved out of state with out modifying the parenting plan or filing relocation. Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:17 AM PST My kids mom moved out of the state of West Virginia to Ohio without filing a motion to relocate, she said she would still bring them to the designated pick as in our parenting plan, but I feel I should file something with the courts because I do not feel it is in the best interest of the kids.

| My new landlords are trying to kick me out two months early. What can I do? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 09:42 AM PST I signed a lease in August of 2020, for a year, with the lease ending August 9th of 2021. My old landlord, with whom I signed the lease, sold her property, the one I am living in, to another larger real estate group. The new group wants to do construction in order to be able to raise the price of the unit for new customers next year. In order to do this, they are trying to kick me out in June, instead of August when the lease ends. This company is known for being predatory and has not given me and my roommate any option, just rude and forceful emails. I have already found a place to live once my original lease is up, what can I do to fight being kicked out of my home early? I live in Colorado for clarification. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 11:50 AM PST I was employed as an EMT for roughly two years. Seven months ago (1 week before I quit - gave a one month notice) I drove under a hotel carport in an ambulance. Note about this hotel - super seedy, prostitution and heroin keep this place afloat. Mattresses stacked in the parking lot because it is infested with bed bugs. I did not see the clearance sign. Background - this happened while transporting a patient to a hospital who overdosed and was resuscitated using narcan. I got a couple feet into the carport and then heard a crunching noise. I sat there for a moment, put it in reverse and then parked it once I was clear. It looked like i took out a light (probably what made the noise), and broke off a section of a thin pipe at the edge of the carport. The police were already there because it was an overdose. Police report was completed, also noted minimal damage. No damage to the ambulance. Supervisor was called out and took pictures and filed their report. The hotel owner said he didn't care and then we left. I filled out all of the paperwork my company gave me afterwards. Anyways, today I got a call from my company saying the hotel repaired their carport and filed an insurance claim for $10,000 using the itemized repair costs. It said how concrete and rebar needed to be replaced. Pretty much a complete renovation. It's pretty doubtful I caused this significant damage. I think it is also suspect that they waited seven months and they filed a claim after the repairs were received. The guy from my company just asked me what happened and asked if it was okay to give my number to the companies insurance provider. I told him what happened and agreed for him to give them my number. I just want to know if I need to be careful or something because this is a lot of money. I imagine I am not liable because I was on company time, in a company vehicle, and doing a job related task (taking a patient to a hospital). Should I be okay? Should I talk with their insurance - I do want to help, but my company never said their motives so I'm not completely sure. [link] [comments]  |
| My wife and I are being threatened eviction over having a Ring Camera up Posted: 28 Feb 2021 01:49 PM PST My wife and I live in a "Motel-style" apartment complex and have had issues our car being scratched and dented over the past month or so. In response to that, we put up a ring camera on our window sill inside of our apartment facing straight at our car. There was no installing the camera or mounting, so no damage was done to the property. Along with that, there is absolutely nothing in the lease agreement that speaks of the ability to have cameras within your apartment. On Thursday the 25th, we were told by our landlord that if we do not remove our camera from the window sill, he will give us a letter of eviction from the complex. We live in Arkansas and cannot find case law or good information about a tenants right to have cameras facing away from their apartment. Does our landlord have any legal ground to stand on? Or is he simply just ego-driven? Can someone help us out please? I can answer any questions that I know the answer to in comments. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:24 AM PST So this is a long one. My father never shared any of his financial information. Be it his taxes, any loans he may have had or so forth. He passed away in 2019 leaving us hardly any infor on where we'd need to call to get everything settled. Even the US military which he served for has not been of help. I've handled things as much as I could the end of 2019 and and the rest of 2020, but now we received letter from the IRS saying he's behind on his payments and that they expect $1,200 to be paid before Feb. 15. Well we live in Germany so these letters that have been sent out only arrived today. I called the IRS trying to figure out why they sent us these letters as we told them he passed away to which they tell us he had been filing joint taxes since 1999, something my mother was never made aware of. I asked her if she remembers signing anything and she said no which leads me to believe he faked her signature which he apparently did a lot because after his passing, I found some documents in her name with signatures that were clearly not hers. My father was a liar, a cheat and worse things I won't mention, and I do not think it is right that my mother, who is in her early 60s, now has to pay for his tax evasion or whatever the hell he did. I'm at a complete loss and don't know what to do. We don't just have $25K lying around the house. The IRS were unhelpful and frankly quite rude when I called, not even allowing me to finish any sentences when I spoke to them. The only thing I can think of is starting a go fund me to try and collect something. This man had been a cancer to our lives for years now and even after his death he finds a way to make my mother so sick to her stomach she can't sleep. So please, any advice you can give us would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know what our options are. Some extra info. He was a US Citizen working in Germany while filing taxes with the IRS. My Mother is German, while working for a German company and filing her taxes in Germany. She never filed anything with them, not to her knowledge. If you need more info I'm happy to share as much as I'm allowed. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Adopted a Cat with undisclosed serious medical issues Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:14 AM PST I have just adopted my cat, Annie, a week ago. At the time of adoption, I was told by the shelter that Annie had a little cold but she was recovering. I met Annie over video chat (Covid) and adopted her. After receiving Annie and her medical records from her foster parent, I immediately noticed she was underweight and very sick. She has trouble breathing and has a lot of discharge from her eyes and nose. According to her paperwork, her "little cold" has been going on for nearly two months. I had already signed the adoption papers prior to picking her up, so I took her home, and continued her course of meds. She has not gotten any better. I just took her to the vet and they believe she is showing signs of nasal polyps or possibly nasal cancer, and have ordered surgery to put a camera up her nose. I already love her dearly but cancer and the bills that come with it is not what I was prepared for. I've already sunk $600 into her supplies and care, and if she has surgeries, I am looking at much more. Is the shelter responsible for her care in any way? What are my options? I am in DC.

| Parents are getting divorced, neither are willing to compromise on house Posted: 01 Mar 2021 01:51 PM PST My dad is an alcoholic who refuses treatment, which is why my mom is divorcing him. She's tried to make the marriage work for years. Today was my parents' mediation, which effectively did nothing. Both my mom and dad want the house, and neither will compromise. The house might have to be sold. My dad would rather pay alimony and lose his whole retirement than lose the house. Is there any way that my mom can get the house? She tried to make this marriage work and my dad is being such an asshole about the whole thing because he doesn't want the divorce to happen. I would hate to see her lose her house. State is Michigan. [link] [comments]  |
| TEXAS Landlord evicting us after shutting power off for 4 days. Posted: 01 Mar 2021 01:51 PM PST Tuesday February 23, she gave us a 2 day warning (verbally not written) telling us she will be shutting the power off, despite paying it and her pocketing the money. She the next day puts a 3 day vacate notice on our door claiming we owe her 10k and if we didn't pay her she would evict us. We were then without power for 4 days, only getting it back today after my parents put the power in their name. All of our food is rotten, we couldn't look for anywhere to go, and during that time she trespassed into our backyard where we had to call the police and they told her that she has to evict us legally. Now today, we were served eviction papers (she served both my mom and dad but both papers have both their names on it). Now the eviction papers say very different things to the 3 day vacate notice, She's now saying we owe her 6k instead of the 10k, and that she is evicting us because of failure to maintenance property despite the 3 day notice saying nonpayment. My dad was unemployed for 3 months and my mom gave her the papers and legal forms required for proof of unemployment, landlord says "they are out of date" and disregards them. In the eviction papers she marked that she had never received the papers, under that it says that you can get a $100,000 fine for lying about it. My mom has proof of her delivering it to her mailbox and texts to prove she received it. So we have a court date on the 17th of march, does anyone have advice on how to build the case or anything else we can do, we took videos of the power not being on, we have a picture of her and her daughter in our backyard, I have a screenshot of me having to call the police, also her paperwork that is not consistent. Thank you so much! [link] [comments]  |

| Hotel charged me 20 nights, I only stayed 1 night, they don’t want to refund the money. Posted: 01 Mar 2021 01:01 PM PST Long story short: made a reservation on booking.com at a hotel in miami for ten nights, arrived at the hotel, swiped my cards, all of them got declined (international cards do that sometimes). I checked out the next day because the hotel was nasty. Checked my banks app and there were 2 charges for 10 nights each. Asked the front desk to check on their system, all transactions show up as declined, they're saying they cant do anything about it, called my bank and asked about the charges, they said both of them went through, so they're not pending or something like that. The hotel manager says I should call my bank and make a dispute for the charges and say they're fraudulent, but the name of the hotel appears on my app's list of transactions and I already called my bank and said I stayed there for one night. What can I do? [link] [comments]  |
| New lease agreement has a $125 payment required for a move out inspection. Is this legal? (OH) Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:58 AM PST My apartment complex was acquired by a new company in the middle of my lease last year. My new lease agreement was just delivered to my inbox for review. I was surprised to see them list a required $125 "move out inspection fee, due at the time you give notice to vacate". It seems ridiculous that I should have to pay the apartment complex a fee just to complete a move out inspection. Any way I can contest this? Sign the lease and fight it later? I like this place but damn, this seems ridiculous. Edit: I wasn't clear about this and I apologize. This is for my Lease Renewal Offer. My original lease was May '20 to May '21, and now this I have the renewal lease in hand for may 2021 to may 2022. [link] [comments]  |
| Shared driveway split in two preventing gas delivery Posted: 01 Mar 2021 11:06 AM PST Wondering if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions about how best to deal with this situation. I own a house in Scotland in the middle of nowhere and my neighbour has taken a dislike to me and wants to get me to move/devalue house/cause trouble. They have attempted to prevent me having gas deliveries made by tanker. We had a shared driveway 60/40 split at the end of a single track road which was enough for large vehicles to turn around on. They have now built a fence across the middle which means they have a large driveway and mine is small. This has the result that they are able to have their gas tank refilled by the tanker and I am probably unable to provide access. They have a gate so the tanker cannot go on their land. Given it was a shared area of land used without issue for over 10 years, there is nothing in the deeds that states the driveway is shared. Probably because this scenario was not foreseen as access by car is no issue. It now means when I run out of gas I have no heating until resolved. I have the gas company checking access in the near future so fingers crossed they will just say they can reverse down the track but it not I am unsure how to proceed if bad news. Possible ideas are - switch to bottled gas at cost. - Argue that the shared drive constituted a right of way by prescription (though the time needed for this to happen is 20 years) - Argue that in the deeds he must provide access for "renewal,repair of essential services" and that gas deliveries count as renewal (not sure they do and he would probably let it run to court) Have I missed anything? Any thoughts on how best to deal with this? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2021 06:16 PM PST I live in Florida. About 6 months ago I lived in this apartment for only about a month and a half. During that time my landlord was very creepy and would ask me to go to the nude beach with him a lot and I always denied and one time tried to pay me to borrow me for a little bit and I just acted confused about what he was talking about and also denied. The last time he asked me to go the nude beach I made it very clear I was never going to go and was slightly rude to him and he called me later that day to tell me I had to be out in a couple weeks at the end of the month because supposedly he had a family member that needed to rent my apartment now. When I left the apartment, nothing was damaged at all whatsoever but I did leave some furniture and any stuff I didn't want anymore just hanging in the apartment because not going to lie I sort of was like "screw this guy he's such a pervert" and nothing was damaged, just stuff around. After I moved out I got a text saying "instead of playing with yourself you could have cleaned up after yourself, nasty cunt" and I didn't reply to it. Today, 6 months later, I got my first voicemail from a number not his but you can tell it's him and I have previous voicemails from when I lived there that you can even compare voices and they are the exact same. In it the guy says "hey cunt do you always masturbate with your landing strip with your black panties that are hanging around your legs with one leg in the air, what a great video I have and I posted it all over online too. How great for you" the second voicemail a few hours later from the same number the same guy saying "hey nasty cunt fuck you." Ummm.... so apparently he had cameras in my apartment because I never took a video of anything like that of me or did anyone else and the only time I ever have shaved a landing strip in my life is when I was living there I had one shaved. I'm kind of freaking out now and having such a bad anxiety attack and feeling so scared and violated that there was someone watching me like that when I didn't know. He had 2 other rental units besides the one that I lived in and both the other units were rented out to pretty and young girls as well during the time I lived there, I'm not sure if they still life there. I don't think it's a coincidence he rents all the units out to young girls. What are my next steps to take and what kind of legal repercussions can he face because of this and how should I handle this? Please help! [link] [comments]  |
| Can I Get A Restraining Order Against My Bio Father? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 10:33 AM PST Recently, I was contacted by my biological father. He is trying to be in my life because I recently came into some money. I have told him I do not want contact with him. He has now started showing up at my workplace and threatening me. My bio father was never a part of my life. He denied I was his when my Mom told him she was pregnant. My Mom broke up with him. When she was 13 weeks along with me, she reconnected with her high school boyfriend. They dated and he was there to put his name on my birth certificate and has been my Dad for the past 24 years. Throughout the past quarter century, not once did my bio father ever contact my Mom or want to be in my life. Now that I have money, my bio father wants to be in my life. I don't want him in my life and I'm tired of him showing up at my workplace and harassing me. The bio father's highlights include stalking me, threatening to beat me up, threatening my Dad, slashing my car's tires and sending dead animals to my workplace. I have contacted police, but they're being slow as all f*ck. Can I get a restraining order against him for all this? I live in UT for the record. [link] [comments]  |
| (Arizona) My estranged dad died and my sisters and I are responsible for funeral arrangements? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 07:18 AM PST Hi! My dad abandoned my sisters and I over 20 years ago, he just died in the hospital and I guess has no assets so its being put on us now? Can we not get out of this? I live out of the country, 2 of my sisters are low income and don't even live in AZ, one is homeless with a drug addiction in California.... why should we take on this burden during a pandemic, or even at all since he abandoned us and we dont hear about him until he was on his death bed in Arizona?

| Should I file a small claims case? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 09:06 AM PST Edit: Location is Jacksonville, FL (US). My vehicle, which I live in, broke down, and it was clear that it was an engine problem. It took a while to find a mechanic who was willing to fix it, but I finally found one. They said it was likely a blown head gasket and it would be $1400 to fix it. They required a $700 deposit. This process took about a week, after which I was contacted and told that it wasn't a blown head gasket, but instead just a ruined engine entirely. It needed to be replaced. The replacement would cost $4500 in total, and I would have to increase my deposit amount. They wanted $1700 in total for the deposit (an additional $1000). I paid an additional $300 for a total of a $1000 deposit. This process has taken three weeks. I was contacted again today and told that some of the parts from the used engine they ordered may be faulty, and that they recommend that we purchase new parts to put in the engine. I am awaiting an email with a list of the parts they recommend replacing and a price for each. This process has taken almost a month and is currently costing $4500 (which I don't have), and they are wanting to charge even more. Multiple mechanics have since told me that this is an exorbitant amount and I'm being way overcharged for the services. It feels like they are taking advantage of the fact that they know the vehicle is my home and that I had no other option in mechanics at the time I brought it to them. Now they're wanting to charge me more, and I have no way of getting my vehicle to any other mechanic since I have no way of paying to have it towed and the deposit is non-refundable. Idk what to do at this point. [link] [comments]  |
