    Legal Advice My friend is in critical condition and I could be blamed for it?


    My friend is in critical condition and I could be blamed for it?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 04:06 AM PDT

    Earlier tonight (6-28-21 at 00:12 AM) I got numerous calls from my friend. I did not answer initially because he was intoxicated as he told me earlier that he was drinking, and I don't really like dealing with him when he is intoxicated because he drinks a lot and usually ends up in the ER or at the police station due to his actions and inability to manage alcohol.

    The calls kept coming and I didn't really think much of it until his dad texted me saying that my friend (we will call "Brad") was with the police and needed a ride home. I called his dad and he told me that Brad was with the police because he drank too much and that I needed to find him a ride or somehow take care of him and give him an uber, I was intoxicated and was not in a state to take care of him and could not contact anyone to pick him up. I called Brad back and was greeted by a Sheriff's Deputy.

    The Deputy told me that he spotted Brad across the street from the police station on all 4's and appeared to be crawling and laying down in the grass. The Officer kept bringing up "Well he is really intoxicated he really needs to be watched by someone." Basically guilt tripping me into taking care of him even though he was really intoxicated and I was in no situation to help him. I told the Deputy that he could bring Brad over and I would keep him for an hour and then I could contact his dad for an Uber back to his house.

    The Deputy dropped Brad off and he could not even get out of the squad car. He was light weight and could not stand, the deputy should've taken him to a hospital or detox. I had him sit in my garage and left to go make a phone call to his dad letting him know that Brad was with me. I heard a big smash and when I went into the garage Brad was on the floor and the chair was tipped over. I told Brad to sit down and just try to stay still while I attempted to make phone contact with his father and that's when Brad stood up and limped over to one of the parked vehicles in the garage and tried to support himself on the car by using his hand, that's when he took a plunge forward and smacked his head on the car and then again on the floor. His father tried telling me to "just deal with it and only call 911 if he is bad" I hung up on his father and called 911.

    While Officers were on the way he started gasping heavily and then stopped. When The Police arrived along with EMS and shined their light on Brad, he was bleeding from the head and there was a small pool of blood on the floor under his head too along with soaking pants because he urinated himself before falling.

    I have learned since the incident that he has since been placed on a breathing machine, his father is saying "if he lives" I would have saved his life. Could I be held responsible if he does pass away? What could happen to me and how should I prepare if this comes up in the future? I am scared for Brad and what may come of this.

    Minnesota

    Edit #1: as of 9:20 this morning he is awake.

    My Fiance is under an emergency guardianship, and her guardian is blocking all attempts at contact - how can I get back in touch with her?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 07:18 AM PDT

    My fiance recently fell during a seizure and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. While she has been recovering well, she is still very weak on one side of her body and needs assistance with mobility. Two weeks after the accident, her mother filed for an emergency guardianship and state her intention to move my fiance out of state (from Colorado to Montana). While my fiance's mother and I were never exactly friends, we maintained a cordial relationship initially despite me and my fiance's wishes for her to remain with me. After a meeting with hospital social workers in which discharge plans were discussed, I was suddenly banned from visiting my fiance in the hospital. Initially I could reach her by phone, but after a call during which my fiance's mother took the phone from her hands and let the line fall dead, my number was blocked. Now, calls from any number to my fiance's phone seem to be blocked, and my number has been blocked by my fiance's mother and brother. Emails are going unanswered.

    When I got a copy of the petition for guardianship, within it was accused of "blocking" attempts to help my fiance with her alcohol problem (unrelated to her injury), which only ever consisted of my fiance's mother calling her and ordering her to leave me and move to Montana with her. She also has a problem with me due to our differing religious beliefs. In my last call to my fiance before I was banned from the hospital, she told me that her mother said I would be "abandoning" her, and apparently did not tell her that she had blocked me from visiting.

    The last time I was in contact with my fiance was a little over a week ago, when she called me from her mother's phone. She told me she'd been left in the car with it, moved to her mother's house, and that her mother was blocking all contact with me because I'd "disrespected" her mother. She told me that she wanted to be in contact with me, but was afraid she would be "yelled at" and "punished" for even calling me that night.

    What can I do to restore our contact rights? I've tried everything I can think of to get in touch with my fiance or her family, and I'm blocked at every turn. My fiance does not seem to have access to a phone or laptop at all, and cannot get up to get one without her mother's supervision. I'm very concerned about her; I don't know if she's even getting the physical therapy she needs, and I feel awful not being able to comfort her, or knowing anything about her situation. I miss her very much.

    Thank you.

    Police officer sent my son home with a warning, then turned tickets into the court house.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 06:09 AM PDT

    Back in January, my son was pulled over a few miles from his home. He was driving his brothers car, which had expired plates and no insurance. The officer told him to turn the car around and take it back home. My son did. Now months later, he has received a letter in the mail from Iowa Dept Of Revenue, saying he's in default of paying those tickets and now has late fees attached to it. Is there any way he can fight this? The office never gave him a ticket. I told him that he needs to go to the court house and ask for a copy of the tickets. Just a shit move by a cop to tell him to drive home with a warning, then turn it in without knowledge. My son would of paid these, if he'd of known. Any advice?

    Posting this off of my phone, so sorry if formatting isn't correct.

    ETA- My son called the clerk of court and the lady said she can see in the officers notes that he sent him off with a warning, then the next day went in to the clerks office and filed the tickets.

    I have on security camera my real estate agent telling my home buyers that they are taking me for a ride for $30k. She represents bother the seller(me) and the buyers. Does this break any fiduciary responsibilities?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 04:12 PM PDT

    I have my real estate agent on my security camera discussing many things directly to the buyers of my home, and a handful of inspectors that were there as well.

    She stated how appalling it is that my 4 year old still pees when sleeps(room smelled a little like pee, and he had double hydroceles when he was born). How weird it is that my mother in law lives with us(she is disabled and cannot work). And she whispered how our home could easily go for $430k but she's looking out for the buyers(our offer was $395k and we gave a seller's concession of $5k to replace the floors). She said we would not get a better deal and we should sell sell sell and she was jumping for joy when she presented it to us.

    Among these she sprinkled in some other rude comments to keep the laughs going. All on video with clear audio. The collective laughing at my 4 year old left a particular sting.

    But at the end of it all and after all the very nasty comments, I believe that she does not have my best interest at mind for the sale of my home. I believe that she purposefully mislead us to believe we had a fantastic "deal of the century!!" When in reality the only people she was really looking out for was herself, and one of the two parties she represented. She had no loyalty to us.

    We close in 2 weeks, we just pulled our security footage yesterday, we signed back on June 17th which is 10 days past the 5 day legal window.

    Do I really have any options but to close and accept? Or can I file a complaint and see if she violated anything in relation to her role as our fiduciary representative?

    We reside in Colorado Springs.

    Neighbor attempted to redirect a stream not on her property and is affecting the water table for the whole neighborhood

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 09:42 AM PDT

    There is a stream that comes down the mountain across most of my neighbors property and we all use it for our water. I've got an well head next to it on my land and so does pretty much every neighbor below us. The house above us was recently left to a neice or someone after the owner passed away. Since she's taken over the home shes made a lot of lovely improvements and turned it into an airbnb (owner unoccupied airbnbs are considered a business and we are not zoned for it but I honestly couldnt care less and that's between her and our poa president). She is advertising that her property has a stream, however the stream is at least 20 ft from the property line on her neighbor's side. Sometime in the renovations the crew she hired to clear trees and beautify the property filled the stream with brush, trash, OLD LEFT OVER CONCRETE, in the ugliest attempt to redirect it onto her property. What this has done is lower the water volume in our portion of the stream to where it almost ruined our water heater and I need a new water pressure tank. The water from the upper stream is now pooling and creating branches that if left to do as they will, will destroy the road between us (which is what our poa pays for) and will likely run to the back of our house.

    Yesterday my husband and father in law walked the stream up to see what what happening because we cant see the destruction from our property, just that our once abundant stream is almost at a trickle. They cleared a bunch of brush and garbage out of the stream and dug it a little deeper since the pooling weakened the banks. Our stream is now a little better, but this is going to take a significant amount of time to fix and it's not on our property. It's also not on hers. It belongs to neighbors who have several acres and havent noticed this happening yet.

    What can we or really what can our neighbor who owns the property do?

    Edit: located in clyde, north Carolina

    Ford Dealership damaged my car during repair and refuses to acknowledge it.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 03:25 PM PDT

    I have a brand new car with under 60,000 miles. Got it in 2019 and I've been having problems with it. I took it to the Ford Service department since it's still at 57,000 miles and I'm covered by warranty. They tell me my transmission needs to be replaced and it's covered under warranty.

    Good news, right? Wrong! It's been a month and a half of my car being left there and after many days of calling and urgency, today they said it's ready.

    I get there and they tell me that now my car has low battery voltage issues , my AC will not blow cold air, and I have a battery sign on my dashboard. I look at the car closely all upset and see a crack on the windshield as well.

    Now they say that this battery issue is not covered under warranty, that I have no recourse here, and I have to take the car, close the case, and open a "new case" to try to repair the out of warranty issue with the electrical. I have to pay out of pocket to fix problems that weren't there when I left the car.

    They claim that these battery issues have been there BEFORE I brought my car in, and show me paperwork from the cars like internal system which has warning lights on it for the past 75 ish days.

    Then I ask to see the video of my car that they took during the bringing in process and they claim that the "video missed the windshield and didn't capture that part" they show me a slip of paper with a diagram of a car and a pen mark on the windshield to indicate it was broken. (A pen mark they could have just put in the back room while I waited).

    I left my car with a transmission issue and am now receiving a car with a fixed transmission but many other issues that occurred while with them.

    What can I legally do? I refused to sign any paperwork, my car is still there, I refused to take it, and now I'm in the process of contacting Ford who the dealer said "won't do much for me."

    What can I do legally or do I even have any case? New York State

    EDIT: this car is my livelihood. My job is with my car. I really am stuck here.

    Does a Grandmother have rights to unsupervised access to my children?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 08:33 AM PDT

    We're in BC, Canada to start with. My Husbands mother wants ONLY unsupervised visits with our children, something we are not comfortable with. She recently had a massive brain tumour removed last year and she's very emotionally abusive and erratic (we have a lot of recorded messages from her being cruel and off the wall) among other things. We have very good reasons to not allow her unsupervised contact. The very few times we let our 5 year old go visit alone for a bit when we lived next door, he came back visibly upset and afraid to go to bed. He was crying that when he died he had to go in a hole with "grandmas dog" who passed before he was even born and we had never discussed it with him. When confronted with this she denied it and said I (the daughter in law) was just causing problems. She's threatened to kill her self in front of us and our kids if we didn't take her to get ice cream, makes racist comments about my family, stomp and slam chairs, and other things if we didn't wake our baby up and take her shopping right THEN. This doesn't go unnoticed by my oldest and I started taking him with me to my counselor sessions and explained the situation. My counselour encouraged us to get away from the situation for the sake of everyone. We bought a house across town and now my husbands Mother has went to family law in attempt to get unsupervised access to both our kids (5 and 16 months). Note she has NEVER been denied access. She's allowed to call and come over when we're home to visit, and my husband offers to bring the kids to see her. She doesn't want to see them unless it's on her terms, and she wants to be alone with them. We have texts and such with all of this discussed over and over, never denying her time with them. She chooses to not see them under our circumstances. Does she have any chance of getting forced unsupervised visits with them? Note we've never had ANY issues with CPS, our kids are very well cared for, our house is clean, we don't hit or neglect our kids in any way, they're in a safe and happy home and their parents have been happily married their entire existence. Edit: was supposed to be husbands mother not fathers.

    Dangerous neighbor in rental unit

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    I rent an apartment in South Carolina. My downstairs neighbor has steadily worsening Alzheimer's which has gotten to the point that she is a danger to herself and us. She has started several small fires at this point, with the latest one being pretty significant. My wife heard her fire alarms going off and ran downstairs to find her just standing in her kitchen just watching her oven in flames. This was somehow the result of her trying to make a PB&J sandwich. If my wife hadn't heard the alarms and called the fire department, it's very possible both our apartments would have been burned to the ground.

    So at this point I'm very worried for our safety living directly above her, but she insists she doesn't have Alzheimer's and can live alone. Her children have confirmed that multiple doctors have diagnosed her, but they have not been able to convince her to move to an assisted living facility and are apparently unwilling to push her on it. What are my legal options? Can I pressure the landlord to evict her for being a danger to others? From what I found online, landlords cannot evict people for having a mental illness, but I'm in genuine fear for the safety of myself and my wife.

    My brother died, he owned a home and we need to terminate my cousin's tenancy but don't know if we have standing to do so. Also, what about rent? ILLINOIS.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 01:47 PM PDT

    Hi, I found another question similar to this but nobody answered it. I'm not new to Reddit but I am using a throwaway as a precaution.

    My brother owned a home he was still making mortgage payments on. He died unexpectedly. He recently invited our cousin to live with him. We (my parents/siblings) have nothing against our cousin, but we'd like him to leave for reasons I won't get into. He was paying a little rent and we have gathered that since he is a tenant he has rights. We'd like to give him notice, (no less than 70 days, which is more than sufficient IMO) but we aren't sure if we have the right to do so since we aren't his landlords. My brother didn't have a will and had no children. I'm vaguely aware of terms like next-of-kin and probate, and this vague awareness makes me think that even if the house goes to next of kin (my parents???) it doesn't do that immediately. My questions are: 1) do my parents or I have standing to kick my cousin? and 2) If we have standing to kick him, do we have to wait for probate to end to give him notice? and 3) should his rent payments go to us and how do we communicate this fact to him? Certain members of our family have told him he doesn't have to pay us and he's the type to take favorable advice at face value.

    Friend consigned painting to a boutique gallery and they damaged it; contract seems super clear about what is to happen but gallery is fighting her... help?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 02:51 PM PDT

    NYC

    My friend consigned a painting to a boutique gallery for a two month period, and while in possession of her work, the gallery dropped the work and damaged it. I've worked in a gallery and prepared/looked over many many consignment contracts, so I offered to take a look at the loss/damage & liability clauses, and felt like it was super clear what the agreed upon protocol was in 5.2.b.

    Cosignor: artist, consignee: gallery

    5.2 Risk of Loss.

    (a) Consignor assumes the risk of loss, theft or damage to the Consigned Property

    until the Consigned Property is delivered at the facilities of Consignee.

    (b) Consignee assumes the risk of loss, theft, or damage to the Consigned Property

    upon delivery thereof at its facilities. Consignee shall pay Consignor the replacement cost or

    value of any Consigned Property in the event such property is lost, stolen or damaged while in its care and/or possession.

    5.3 Limitation of Liability. Consignee's liability to consignor, if any arising directly out of its

    obligations under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and every applicable part of it shall be

    limited in aggregate to the cost of any Consigned items. Other than as provided in this Agreement,

    Consignor assumes no liability due to the performance of any services or activities outlined in this

    Agreement for or on behalf of Consignee.

    5.2.b seems to CLEARLY state the gallery is obligated to pay her the value of the property. My friend, as a gesture of goodwill, offered two restoration quotes to them in order to avoid them paying for the full cost, and they've continuously and condescendingly refused these quotes. I told her she should then just say she would prefer, in that case, to stick to the parameters put forth in the contract and ask that he pay her for the value they agreed upon for the work in the contract (about 4k). I said, in all likelihood if it went to court they would say the most fair resolution is to follow the contractual agreement of commission had all gone to plan which was 50/50 split (2k to her, 2k to gallery). so she could tell him she was willing to do that and avoid court.

    She talked it over w people (including her father briefly who was a lawyer). She had mentioned to me if he came back saying he would just pay for the full restoration she would be fine w that, but he's being such a dick she wouldn't mind if it had to go to court bc of how clear the contract is. I agree w her, the only reason i said she should be wary of going to court is she risks the chance of him being able to take the painting in question. It's totally up to her, but it seems clear to me that if she were to go to court, worst case scenario is she gets the 2k and loses her painting, best case but highly unlikely scenario is she gets full agreed upon value of 4k, but still would prob lose painting. it's a "you break it, you buy it" type thing as far as I understand bc of consideration in bailment law??? could be wrong here.

    She told him she wants to just follow contract, and he came back w an offer for about 1/2 of the restoration quote.

    Is there any reason she shouldn't just say ok, I'm filing this then? it's like pulling teeth for her rn and she's just sick of it and the contract to my, albeit legally untrained, eyes seems super super clear that the gallery is at fault and owe her the value of the work.

    Other relevant info:

    He has admitted it was dropped in the gallery, there is photo evidence of its condition when first arriving and dropped off by friend, and photos of it damaged on wall of gallery later. They signed contract for price of painting, this is his contract, there is no mention of restoration so it was really just a gesture of goodwill on her end that she offered that route. only legal obligation is to pay property value which they agreed and signed upon as 4k. It cannot be replaced as it is a unique piece of art, so repayment of property is only element of the clause that applies.

    Obviously it would have been easier if he just said ok full resto, but he didn't and he's being a huge asshole so knowing my friend she will gladly file against him. Is there any other course of action or any reason he could win?? since she offered the resto option, is that now an actual viable route he can argue w or bc they never agreed can she opt to stick to contract without issue?

    Thanks so much!

    Can I remove items from my property that belong to the neighbors?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 07:10 AM PDT

    I'll be laying down a car pathway soon, but part of my neighbors' landscaping it about 2 feet over the line, where the pathway has to go. They are fully aware of this due to some other issues we had earlier this year, and admitted to such.

    If I send a letter asking for them to remove it within a month so I can begin work but they don't remove, can I remove it myself?

    It's just some bricks and a tiny steel "fence" which should be easy to move.

    My ex's family is threatening to have charges filed against me after the state filed charges against him for a domestic violence incident, what can I do?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 03:00 AM PDT

    Long story short, my ex attacked me in public and was arrested. Ultimately, since the incident happened in broad daylight in front of dozens of witnesses, the state filed charges against him. Shortly after this my ex's sister started messaging me and accusing me of stealing from her mothers money jar, which was clearly either out of spite for her brothers arrest or because she was trying to intimidate me into not showing up to court (which I don't have a choice in anyway). After my ex was released his sister sent screenshots of a short discussion between them regarding me in which he accused me of "not allowing" him to say no to me when I supposedly "took the money" and her replying that that's just as their mother suspected and she was thinking about pressing charges against me for it. Should I be concerned? What should I do? Part of me isn't too worried because I feel like it's obviously bullshit, but what if that's not so obvious to anyone else? Could I get in trouble for these accusations? I live in NC, if that matters any.

    Quit work after employers allowed customer to harass me and former coworker resorting to social media

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 04:45 PM PDT

    Throwaway account.

    Background:
    I worked part-time at a local bubble tea store (franchise). There are no official rules regarding breaks or how to intervene when someone is harassed. A repeat customer came in on my 10 hr shift, refused to leave me alone and did not leave until he received my phone number. I did give it to him out of fear that he would cause a scene or cause harm to me. The shop has CCTV footage of him bothering me (which I do not have access to). He texted my number asking specifically when I would get off shift, which is concerning. I did not reply. He later called me in the morning, to which I did not answer. When he called the store asking specifically for me the next day, my male coworker told him not to come back because of him making uncomfortable. I blocked him. I retained screenshots of the messages he sent me. He also found me on LinkedIn and requested to connect. He has a wife and child and works in juvenile services...

    Later, my boss told me I overreacted by getting my coworker and a manager involved (asking them to cover for me) and essentially said it was my fault. I was wondering if there was anything I could do about this, especially when a coworker resorted to social media to bully me.

    The job had me scheduled for 10 hour shifts with no breaks, and I was constantly verbally berated and asked to do work outside of job requirements. I believe Maryland labor laws do not explicitly say employers have to provide breaks, but I am not certain about this.

    Context behind these screenshots:
    I was on a 10 hr shift for the second day in a row, in which I decided I could not work any longer and left with 2 hrs remaining on my shift. In addition, a guy friend was waiting in the shop for me for hours in case the person who was harassing me came by. I told my boss beforehand and left. I stayed near the shop because I was exhausted and did not feel I could drive home yet. Attached is the conversation with my coworker and my boss: https://imgur.com/a/nMRCaeN

    Specifically, I would like legal advice regarding the harasser. But any advice regarding the social media messages would also be appreciated.

    Adult son using our credit card to purchase from Steam and Bethesda

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 12:54 PM PDT

    I haven't found this exact situation and could use some advice. Our adult son (24) had to move back in with us due to disabilities (migraines so severe and frequent he couldn't work; short-term medical leave snowballed). We had ongoing intermittent issues with his pirating our information all through his teen years. We had a confrontation about a year ago with the help of one of our small town policemen who had had some training in this and was a godsend. No problems for nearly a year. But now a whole pile of charges from Steam and one directly from Bethesda.

    He has been warned if this happens again, he will need to consider other living arrangements (ie, we will kick him out), but he has no income, no particular skills, no other relatives or friends he could reasonably stay with. He is unfortunately devastatingly smart and when we had the nice policeman here, he continued to deny making charges on our card even when we found evidence (Domino's pizza boxes) and basically threw them at his feet.

    Steam and Bethesda are investigating but taking their sweet time and we're ready to go to our bank and file a dispute. We chose not to have him charged by the police last year but are wondering now if this was a mistake.

    Thank you for any advice or moral support, legal or otherwise.

    EDIT: The bot says I need to list location. I'm in UT in USA.

    Put a trace on my stimulus check IRS replies I owe them $1200. The letter says not calling them is tacit agreement with the debt. I can't reach anyone when I call.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 08:05 AM PDT

    Alabama

    I e-filed in 2020 and received my stimulus check, but could not cash it at the time because I didn't have an id. Two hurricanes hit nearly back to back and our power was out for an extended time. During the commotion the check was lost. At the end of Nov I sent a form 3911 to track payment and reissue the check. I didn't hear anything back until this week when I got a form CP11 saying I owed the IRS $1200 plus interest to be paid July 12th.

    I haven't worked a paid job for 10 years, I've been taking care of my mother who has schizophrenia, diabetes and breast cancer. I have no idea how they can think I owe them money. I can't make sense of the letter. If they say they sent me the stimulus by mistake, which I don't believe, how can they charge me when I lost the thing before it was even cashed?

    The letter says if I don't call them then that means I'm agreeing to the debt. I keep calling but can't get through. I just keep going through menu after menu then it tells me due to high call volume on this topic they are unable to handle my call. I feel like I'm trapped in a Kafka novel.

    How can they say not contacting them is tacit approval of a debt while not answering the damn phone? Isn't that a violation of due process or something? I'm so frustrated. I don't have $1200 plus interest and certainly can't come up with it by July 12th.

    My wife and I purchased our home in January and have recently discovered that there is a bat problem in our attic. From what the bat removal guy told us, they have been there for quite a while based on the size of the pile of guano (maybe like a 1 foot x 1 foot pile). The bats will need to be removed, insulation removed, attic sanitized, and out in new insulation.

    We had an inspection done and it wasn't mentioned anywhere. Zooming in one of of the pictures of the attic you can see the guano in the corner of one of the pictures, but again, no mention of the bats.

    There was also no mention of the bat problem on our Real Estate Condition Report that we signed at the same time as our offer to purchase. When I spoke with the bat removal person, they stated that the previous residents called in 2017 about a "general pest removal" question and scheduled an appointment, which they canceled before the date. The owner of the property rented the house to their child for about 5 years.

    Are either of these other parties liable for not disclosing this information? This is in Wisconsin.

    Settling out of court... How do I make sure I get paid?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 09:10 AM PDT

    Hi all, was hoping for some guidance to make sure I'm not creating any loopholes. I live in and have filed in Michigan.

    In April, I filed a lawsuit through small claims court against a large company. Our court date was set in July. However, the company has agreed to pay me my full asking amount so long as I release all their liability and cancel the court date. I signed a property damage release form outlining the monetary amount I'm owed as well as all parties who I am releasing of responsibility. The company has also asked for a copy of the dismissal "with prejudice." As I'm filling out the voluntary dismissal form, do I need to check that it is with the stipulation that they pay me, or does the property damage release form do that? Should I include that form when I file the dismissal?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    VA appraiser classified our townhome as a condo.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 04:35 PM PDT

    In TN. Using Veterans United. New construction

    Hello, we recently got the appraisal back, and the person classified our townhouse as a condo.

    While our builder is VA approved, the development isn't approved for condos. It's a neighborhood with townhomes (2 floors, single entry, garages, etc) and single family homes.

    A different lender closed on a townhome in the neighborhood using a VA loan 3 weeks ago. But somehow our lender is saying there is no way to change this.

    Any advice on how to proceed would be great.

    We were supposed to close in less then 2 weeks so switching lenders would be a huge delay.

    Need some help understanding my background check [MI]

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 04:23 PM PDT

    I applied for a side gig delivering food, and for giggles, I requested a free copy of the background check. I passed the check, but there were some things on there that I didn't understand.

    On the driving record, it showed my two accidents and the tickets associated with said accidents. However, under the subheading "Suspensions" it says:

    (ALL DRIVING PRIVILEGES) FAC/FCJ - FAILURE TO COMPLY

    FEBRUARY 12, 2018-FEBRUARY 16 ,2018

    and under the "Miscellaneous Incidents" subheading twice, it says:

    COMPLIANCE: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH JUDGEMENT

    with no date given.

    I've paid all my tickets and never once recalled having licence suspended. I also don't know what "failure to comply with judgement" means when I never needed to go to court.

    Can someone explain this to me please?

    Landlord didn’t notify us about painters until they were here and our boat may be getting damaged.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 08:47 AM PDT

    Our landlord sent us a text as they were here that they will be here all day for the next three days. It's incredibly noisy and an inconvenience. I do not have a car that can move this boat. It is right in front of our house as my boyfriend spent literally 30 hours over the past 3 days cleaning it very thoroughly for his dad. These guys are repairing the roof and painting the house, and so far the tarp they put on it is blowing off and there's already a ton of debris in it. I haven't looked up close to the sides of the boat because I will lose my shit. It's only been 3 1/2 hours and they will probably be here for another 4 today. My boyfriend is at work and can't leave. We're livid. We live in Virginia. Is this legal?

    Mandatory Business Trips With No Pay

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 01:08 PM PDT

    This is occurring in Denver/Aurora, Colorado, but mentioned conventions are in various other states.

    I work for a growing company in an industry where are trade shows are a huge deal. Two years ago, when I was one of two employees for my company, the owner wanted, but didn't require us to travel for a convention on our own dime, and we wouldn't be paid for our time at the convention. This changed to the owner paying for all expenses for the trip, but we were required to go and our time was unpaid. I was totally ok with this because it was great experience for me as a newbie in the career and I didn't need the money. My time at the convention was split between attending classes and networking events and doing my normal office work, but unpaid.

    Now that these conventions are restarting, the company is starting to make preparations. We now have 4 employees, with 3 of us seemingly being required to attend these conventions. I would like to be clear, no formal discussions have occurred and no arrangements have been made. However, my coworkers and I have legitimate concerns regarding this.

    My coworkers and myself are all in positions where we can not take 1 or 2 weeks off without pay without having legitimate financial loss. Is there a legal precedent that would require we be paid if we are required to attend a convention AND act as if on the clock during the duration of the trip? We'd like to be armed with knowledge before we begin negotiations. There are currently 3 (with the possibility of attending a 4th) conventions on our company calendar, each requiring out of state travel and lasting a week.

    Thank you.

    [Michigan] Used car dealership sold me a vehicle illegally

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 04:06 PM PDT

    On May 25, I purchased a 2012 Ford Escape from a small dealership. After tax and other fees the total came to $8200. I thought they "transferred" the plates from my 2006 Ford F150.

    A month later I called to inquire as to why a title hasn't shown up yet in the mail like they said it would and they told me it would be another 2-3 months. This did not add up.

    A friend of mine who works at a Honda dealership looked into it for me. Turns out the vehicle was never registered by them because more than likely they never had the title (illegal to sell without a title in MI). On top of that, the plate that was "transferred" to the Escape is still registered to my F150.

    What route do I take from here? I called them and they said they would look into it and give me a call back. So I return it for a full refund? I also had to pay insurance, had to miss 7 hours of work, drove a total of 2 hours (will be 4 if I have to return it), and did an $80 oil change since purchasing. Do they owe me more than $8200? I want to make sure they don't "buy" it back from me and have me get into legal issues by selling them a vehicle illegally as well.

    TIA
