If a mechanic has a crush on a customer and he puts a GPS tracker on her car and then gets caught a week later and the customer is a cop who arrested his friends before but he didn't know that, what could happen to him? The location is Florida. Asking for my friend. He had no idea she was a cop even. He just got arrested for the first time in his life and we're wondering what will happen and if he'll get bail.

(FL) I'm a woman being accused of rape by another woman. I was on another continent at the time she claims that I raped her. She hasn't called the police, she's just posting it all over Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm seeing a lawyer on Monday. If she does try something should the fact that I wasn't even in the country at the time get it thrown out? She's alleging that I broke into her apartment on Valentine's Day and then raped her however I have proof that I was in Austria the whole month of February. I have proof, hotel bookings, credit card statements and I was seen by multiple that would have to reason to lie. I don't talk to her at all. I was show the posts by a friend. She and I used to work together, she's still bitter about me getting a promotion and her getting fired on the same day.

Talk to your attorney. Keep all the evidence. Don't communicate with her. And don't worry unless something else happens.
|
Do not talk to this woman or text or email with her ever again. Only talk about this with your attorney and no one else. One wrong statement by you could lead to you being convicted of a crime you did not commit. You have the right to remain silent, so use it.

You could report it to Facebook/Twitter, but they might not care, and that might piss her off even more.

I'm being subpoenaed as witness in year & a half old sexual assault case, per defense attorney's investigator who wants to talk to me. I drove victim to police station & hospital for rape kit. Advisable to talk to Defense? I work for a non-profit organization which has a residential/communal component. The victim lived with my family in the community house at the time. Since I drove her to the police station and was present for her statement, the defense attorney's investigator is now reaching out to me. He says he has a subpoena and wants to complete service, and I've been responsive about returning his calls to complete service. I think he'll also want to talk. He's being very polite and seems to be driving towards talking with me, casually including that he's talked with \[victim's first name\] as well. I'm not aware of any personal concerns about my own interests that I have, other than the truth. But I'm sure there are factors I may not be considering. I know nothing else about the status of the case and have not been contacted by anyone else since going to the police station/hospital a year and a half ago. The victim no longer lives with us and we have not been in touch throughout the pandemic. Any advice? Location: KS, US

You are not required to speak with him, but if it's crystal-clear that you are not suspected of any wrongdoing (and that the defense investigator won't be able to portray you as the potential offender), likely nothing wrong with speaking with him. If you have concerns, seek counsel with your own lawyer first. As you probably know, if you're served with a subpoena you don't have a choice about whether to appear.
|
It's a bit suspicious for the defense attorney's investigator to serve a subpoena. https://www.serve-now.com/resources/process-serving-laws/kansas I would check with the court to see if this is a legal subpoena, since the process server is usually law enforcement, an agent of the court or someone over 18 not involved with the case. This investigator doesn't seem to be qualified as a process server in this case. Defense has the right to summon witnesses they think are helpful to their case and cross prosecution witnesses but only the courts can grant subpoenas.

[FL] Elderly neighbor asked me to shred some papers for her. Now her daughter is threatening to sue me for destroying allegedly important documents. A few days ago, my elderly neighbor (a female in her 70s I believe) came to my door and asked me if I had a paper shredder. I told her that I did, and she asked if I could shred some papers for her. I told her sure, and a few hours later she came back with a bag of various papers. I didn't look at the contents of the papers, since I figured this was obviously private information that she didn't want anyone else to see, and I wanted to respect that privacy. Sure, I'm familiar with her, and I figured she trusted me enough to entrust these documents to me to get rid of, but I didn't want to be rude, so I didn't read through any of it. A short while later, and all of the papers were shredded into tiny scraps, at the woman's request. This morning, I get a knock on my door, and it's the woman's daughter (she doesn't live with her), asking me if I shredded the bag of documents. I told her that I did, at her mom's request. She tells me that there were extremely important documents in there (she didn't specify what they were) and that now she's going to get a lawyer and sue me for destroying them. Am I liable for any of this? I only did what the woman told me to do.

(1) No you're not liable. Neighbor asked you to shred some documents, you shredded some documents. (2) Lots of people here who think something nefarious is going on. It's possible, but this sub has something of a selection bias. Is there any chance that this elderly neighbor may have Alzheimers or otherwise have signs of dementia? It could be that the documents (Whatever they were) really shouldn't have been shredded. If so, the daughter still doesn't have any sort of case against you. But, it would explain why she's upset. (My father-in-law with dementia shredded his passport despite an upcoming trip!)
|
Not a lawyer, I'd reach out to the elder and let her know her daughter is doing this. If possible, ask the elder if she'd be willing to to comply to a recording of her saying that she asked you to shred the documents so that way you have evidence to protect yourself (FL is a two party consent state). Only recommending this since people are saying this is a type of scam.

Just in case this clears things up and alleviates your worries a little bit, I'm going to outline a couple of reasons why you really don't need to worry. 1. It's highly unlikely that this woman will secure an attorney that's willing to sue you. She clearly has no understanding of the loss since there is no basis under law or fact where you would be liable, and upon hearing this, literally any attorney in the right mind would ask for full payment up front. So unless she's best friends with Sidney Powell, I think you're fine 😂 2. Even if you do get served with a complaint (aka sued), you should have a minimum of 2 weeks to reply, which should be plenty of time to speak with a lawyer. 3. In contrast to your neighbor's daughter, the merits of your case are cut and dry. You should have no problem getting a an attorney to file a motion to dismiss to have your case thrown out before the judge has the opportunity to laugh the other party out of court. 4. You legitimately could defend this one yourself, that's never good legal advice, but even if you cannot afford an attorney, this is really not the type of situation where you should worry about some sort of weird technicality giving you liability.

I doubt it. The old lady has the right to do what she wants with her own documents unless she was previously classified as incompetent by a court.

She's not going to get a lawyer. You shredded documents you have every reason to believe belonged to your neighbor, and disposed of them at the owner's instruction. Honestly, if you had taken your neighbor's private papers she entrusted you to shred, and handed them over whole to a third party like her daughter, THEN you would have a real problem. Daughter has no right to the documents as far as you know, and you had no obligation to search the world to determine if anyone else wanted the docs. The owner wanted them shredded. You shredded them.

PA - neighbor’s packages keep getting dropped off at my elderly parents’ house, neighbor threatens to sue This is taking place at my elderly parents’s house in PA. Their address and their next-door neighbors’ address is similar (two numbers switched) The neighbors packages accidentally are getting delivered to my parents’ address. (All carriers: USPS, amazon, UPS, Fedex) My elderly parents are not able to, nor want to, message/call the neighbors on a daily basis to get their mail. The neighbors also have been aggressive about other issues and are generally unpleasant. The neighbors also seem to be getting delivery notifications, so they know the packages are delivered at their house or my parents house. The two houses do not have a sidewalk and are on a busy street, so it’s not incredibly easy for people to walk from house to house. They just sent a message threatening legal action because my parents are not notifying them every package they receive. They are also saying that failure to notify them is interfering with the proper delivery of mail and is illegal. Is it on the neighbors to notify the shipping agents of the error? My parents have no problem with them coming by to pick up the packages that are left, untouched, on their front stoop. How should my parents respond?

> They just sent a message threatening legal action because my parents are not notifying them every package they receive. There isn't any legal action for them to take. You don't have a duty to notify your neighbor their stuff is on your porch. Obviously, don't steal – but "delivery companies screw up" is not a cause of action against an unrelated party. If the neighbors have delivery notification enabled they should be coming over to pick up their packages. It would be a pain in the butt, but your folks could also contact the different carriers to let them know packages are being misdelivered – but that's sort of a nuisance and there's no guarantee the local contractor or driver gets the message. Your parents could also post a big sign on the front porch that this is not neighbor's address – but again, delivery drivers run at such a hectic pace there's no guarantee the sign would be noticed. > They are also saying that failure to notify them is interfering with the proper delivery of mail and is illegal. This is also misinformed at best. If the neighbors say or do anything threatening, call the police. I would have Mom and Dad tell the neighbors, "We're not notifying you when your packages arrive. Use the app and come pick up your shit when it arrives."

As no one else has replied to you yet, I would suggest the following :You should first contact the post office. They should fix this mistake within 2-4 days. Explain the situation about the neighbors and your elderly parents. The post office doesn’t mess around with mail delivery and take actions to fix things. After you do this you should contact the police where your parents live and explain the situation and ask them to document what you tell them. From there keep documenting by calling the police- this builds the harassment case. Good luck!

I would make certain the house numbers on your folks' house are clearly visible to delivery drivers. I would also post a notice REFUSING DELIVERY on items not addressed to their home. That should cause the delivery drivers to look twice and correct some of their errors. As for the neighbors, it might be helpful for you to run some interference for your folks. Let the neighbors know about repainting the house numbers clearly and the notice refusing delivery on packages that aren't addressed to them. Also tell them any packages that ARE delivered will be left on the porch, and there is no basis for any crazy charges of tampering. Recommend they verify their delivery notifications are on. If they are not satisfied with all that, then just let them know your folks will call the delivery companies to have the items picked up as misdelivered. :)

PA - neighbor’s packages keep getting dropped off at my elderly parents’ house, neighbor threatens to sue This is taking place at my elderly parents’s house in PA. Their address and their next-door neighbors’ address is similar (two numbers switched) The neighbors packages accidentally are getting delivered to my parents’ address. (All carriers: USPS, amazon, UPS, Fedex) My elderly parents are not able to, nor want to, message/call the neighbors on a daily basis to get their mail. The neighbors also have been aggressive about other issues and are generally unpleasant. The neighbors also seem to be getting delivery notifications, so they know the packages are delivered at their house or my parents house. The two houses do not have a sidewalk and are on a busy street, so it’s not incredibly easy for people to walk from house to house. They just sent a message threatening legal action because my parents are not notifying them every package they receive. They are also saying that failure to notify them is interfering with the proper delivery of mail and is illegal. Is it on the neighbors to notify the shipping agents of the error? My parents have no problem with them coming by to pick up the packages that are left, untouched, on their front stoop. How should my parents respond?

"DOES NOT LIVE HERE" Proceed to drop off at your local dropbox.

As no one else has replied to you yet, I would suggest the following :You should first contact the post office. They should fix this mistake within 2-4 days. Explain the situation about the neighbors and your elderly parents. The post office doesn’t mess around with mail delivery and take actions to fix things. After you do this you should contact the police where your parents live and explain the situation and ask them to document what you tell them. From there keep documenting by calling the police- this builds the harassment case. Good luck!

I would make certain the house numbers on your folks' house are clearly visible to delivery drivers. I would also post a notice REFUSING DELIVERY on items not addressed to their home. That should cause the delivery drivers to look twice and correct some of their errors. As for the neighbors, it might be helpful for you to run some interference for your folks. Let the neighbors know about repainting the house numbers clearly and the notice refusing delivery on packages that aren't addressed to them. Also tell them any packages that ARE delivered will be left on the porch, and there is no basis for any crazy charges of tampering. Recommend they verify their delivery notifications are on.

“They just sent a message threatening legal action.” That’s a laugh riot. If your parents are elderly go into the local USPS for them and call the delivery companies on their behalf and explain what’s going on so they’re on notice. That’s practical advice, not legal advice, because your folks aren’t breaking the law. After that, a further option is to call the non emergency line for local police and report what’s going on in the event things get rocky. It’s small potatoes but I imagine they will be sympathetic to elderly people being scared and harassed and you’ll be on record.

Your parents shouldn't respond. There's literally no legal action the neighbor can take against them. Your parents might a case for harassment, though.

IAL in PA, but I’m actually going to suggest something else. For the stuff that is not fixed by the postmaster suggested by another user: Enter your parents address and the neighbors address into a couple of GPS data sets (I used to work for ups but it’s been 20 years and I don’t know what they use) most of the trucks are tracked. They are probably driving the line (ie, literally just stopping where the gps says to) I’m guessing your neighbors address is mispinned, so when they enter it as the place the truck needs to stop, your parents house comes up. If they weren’t stopping where the GPS said to, they would be having to explain why they stopped there. So - file incorrect address reports with any GPS data set that shows your neighbors address as your parents house. If necessary, email the company that provides the data.

I work for usps, ask for your parents local post offices post master, make the request with he/her. Amazon/ups/fedex all have final delivery completed by usps 90% of the time. This will help with most packages. Legally you can discard any misdelivered mail if your parents 1. Feel threatened or unsafe by the packages 2. If it was rts or wrong addressed but comes back again. Technically there also is no law against your parents setting the packages on public property including the street. That way the neighbors can "get" there ship (delivery pun) or the courier will surely see it. Also fix the address on the package manually even if you need to slap a bold 60pt font label on it.

I agree with others. Return to sender wrong address. The neighbors can wait even longer to get their stuff since they decided to be dicks about it. This is not a problem caused by your parents nor is it their responsibility to resolve it. The neighbors have no legal recourse because your parents have done nothing wrong.

Legally, they have zero obligation to do anything here. Practically, the easiest solution would be to invest in one of those big self-inking rubber stamps that says "delivered to incorrect address" and using it every time this happens. Stamp it, leave it outside, and move on with your life.

Print a sign to post on the front door on neon colored paper with the correct address and another sheet as a PSA, get them laminated. "DEAR UPS, USPS, FEDEX, AMAZON, DHL: CHECK THE ADDRESS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE PACKAGE! The only two people who live at this address (bold the numbers) are Mr. And Mrs. ______. ANY OTHER NAMES ARE RETURN TO SENDER!" Then start slapping return to sender stickers and leave them on the porch for pick up. If they're stolen, not your problem. If theyre not picked up by the carrier, not your problem. If the neighbors don't get them, not your problem. Let it pile up on the porch. Invest in a $100 ring doorbell w voice so you can monitor if possible until the route drivers get the hint. When they attempt to drop a package off, ask for the name on it, when it's not yours tell them they're at the wrong Addy and take it next door.

You’re parents aren’t responsible for their neighbors mail delivery. Just have them tell delivery person the person doesn’t live here and return it since they are being unreasonable.
|
I agree with others. Return to sender wrong address. The neighbors can wait even longer to get their stuff since they decided to be dicks about it. This is not a problem caused by your parents nor is it their responsibility to resolve it. The neighbors have no legal recourse because your parents have done nothing wrong.

PA - neighbor’s packages keep getting dropped off at my elderly parents’ house, neighbor threatens to sue This is taking place at my elderly parents’s house in PA. Their address and their next-door neighbors’ address is similar (two numbers switched) The neighbors packages accidentally are getting delivered to my parents’ address. (All carriers: USPS, amazon, UPS, Fedex) My elderly parents are not able to, nor want to, message/call the neighbors on a daily basis to get their mail. The neighbors also have been aggressive about other issues and are generally unpleasant. The neighbors also seem to be getting delivery notifications, so they know the packages are delivered at their house or my parents house.

This will not be fixed until the delivery companies are inconvenienced by the issue. You parents should notify the delivery company to return and collect the packages themselves, because they were delivered to the incorrect address. After a few returns and re-deliveries, the drivers will begin to correct their errors.

I work for usps, ask for your parents local post offices post master, make the request with he/her. Amazon/ups/fedex all have final delivery completed by usps 90% of the time. This will help with most packages. Legally you can discard any misdelivered mail if your parents 1. Feel threatened or unsafe by the packages 2. If it was rts or wrong addressed but comes back again. Technically there also is no law against your parents setting the packages on public property including the street. That way the neighbors can "get" there ship (delivery pun) or the courier will surely see it. Also fix the address on the package manually even if you need to slap a bold 60pt font label on it.

Or you could just make a sign that says 1456 NOT 1546 and put it near their door / address area.

Legally, they have zero obligation to do anything here. Practically, the easiest solution would be to invest in one of those big self-inking rubber stamps that says "delivered to incorrect address" and using it every time this happens. Stamp it, leave it outside, and move on with your life.

Print a sign to post on the front door on neon colored paper with the correct address and another sheet as a PSA, get them laminated. "DEAR UPS, USPS, FEDEX, AMAZON, DHL: CHECK THE ADDRESS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE PACKAGE! The only two people who live at this address (bold the numbers) are Mr. And Mrs. ______. ANY OTHER NAMES ARE RETURN TO SENDER!" Then start slapping return to sender stickers and leave them on the porch for pick up. If they're stolen, not your problem. If theyre not picked up by the carrier, not your problem. If the neighbors don't get them, not your problem. Let it pile up on the porch. Invest in a $100 ring doorbell w voice so you can monitor if possible until the route drivers get the hint. When they attempt to drop a package off, ask for the name on it, when it's not yours tell them they're at the wrong Addy and take it next door.

(Quebec) Neighbor is threatening to sue me over front porch I made a post here a couple of weeks ago detailing my mom's issue with her neighbor over the syndicate of co-ownership present over their semi-detached houses. It ended up coming to a very simple conclusion: there is no legally binding syndicate of co-ownership. Because the homes are physically attached they have a co-ownership contract for insurance purposes, but nothing else. This is important for this new legal problem. It got over complicated writing last time, so I'm going to write this up in first person though it's for my mom. So I recently decided to replace my 3x3 front "porch" with a 12x6 front deck. My neighbor protested, repeatedly going to the city council to try and make a case for me not being able to build it. She claims that the deck is so large that we will be able to stand on it and stare into her living room. Nobody has any intention of doing that. Despite her efforts I have received a building permit from the city, giving me a year to build the deck to those 12x6 specifications. Given how the neighbor had already tried to curb the construction by citing our nonexistent syndicate of co-ownership's terms, I specifically asked if that was true since that contract would be under the city's purview. They confirmed that there's nothing prohibiting the build whatsoever. So about two weeks have passed since that and I hadn't heard a peep from my neighbor until today. She sent me an email saying that she intends to serve me a formal notice and that she's willing to pay for a lawyer to fight this. I don't know what to do. As I understand it I *will* have to show up to court if I get served. Is that correct? Furthermore I don't know whether it's worth paying for a lawyer on something that seems so absolutely ridiculous to me. Does her case have *any* ground to stand on? I want to build an municipally approved front deck on *my* own property. Is this something I can represent myself in? Thank you everyone.

Not a lawyer here. My understanding is that she can try, but it'll go nowhere. Even if you get served, you have the permit. If you present that in court with witnesses to the intent of the plan (enjoying outdoors, BBQs, family space) they're very likely to throw out her claim and probably even award you for costs. It could be different in Quebec than Alberta, but here that suit would be so much nonsense.
|
If you have a permit and permission to build ignore her unless you get served. Right now she is just rambling, don't feed her, just ignore. Make sure the deck is not a 10th of a inch over the specs allowed and you follow all code and laws when building it. Like time of day noise is allowed, clean up materials, etc... for example.

I trimmed our tree and the neighbor is threatening to sue me. My tree trimmers trimmed my tree (the trunk is entirely on my property which means it’s mine and not on the property line) And didn’t tell the old lady next door that they would be up in the tree doing the trimming. Some of the branches they cut had extended over to her side. They cleaned everything up and she didn’t see them on her property. There was no damage on her side. She wants $5000 for emotional distress and alleged trespassing. Is she entitled to anything?

If all of us were legally entitled to sue an owner for getting rid of something we liked, or even stepping foot on our property, we'd all be rich. I could sue the parents of the kids that sometimes walk on my property on their daily walk with the dog. Or my neighbor for changing their driveway from gravel to concrete, because I liked the gravel better. It just goes against all common sense.
|
Emotional distress over what exactly???? Did you bludgeon her dog to death with one of the branches right in front of her?? Also, sue for trespassing?? She can get a no trespass order against any individual that was on her property, but that would be the tree feller, not you.

Ignore her until you are served. Generally speaking, "emotional distress" needs some kind of supporting evidence to be taken seriously, such as a diagnosis from a psychologist and therapy treatment plan. You trimmed your tree, she has no damages to sue for. She will get over it.
|
Emotional damage requires proof of damage. This is almost certainly a non starter. That said if she does actually file a suite against you, and then you are served papers by the court (by the court via process server not a letter from a lawyer in the mail) you need to show up. The odds of any lawyer helping her out are next to nill though.

Shes lucky my neighbors had a tree thats peddles would always fall in my yard and my pool , the wind made it go my direction so i guess they never thought it was an issue because their yard was always clean.

I trimmed our tree and the neighbor is threatening to sue me. My tree trimmers trimmed my tree (the trunk is entirely on my property which means it’s mine and not on the property line) And didn’t tell the old lady next door that they would be up in the tree doing the trimming. Some of the branches they cut had extended over to her side. They cleaned everything up and she didn’t see them on her property. There was no damage on her side. She wants $5000 for emotional distress and alleged trespassing. Is she entitled to anything?

I am not a lawyer, but I work in the tree service industry. If the tree is in your yard, you can do as you please with it. The tree, if it hangs over into the neighbors yard, can do as they please with your tree upto the property line. Meaning if they wanted to shave the tree flat to the property line, they legally can, even though it will cause the tree to be an eyesore, and could cause premature death of the tree. I also know that the workers have some easement rights to complete their job. Therefore, its not trespassing. Needless to say, I think your neighbor is trying to extort money from you.

Take pictures now of where the tree is in relationship to the property line and her yard next to it. If she sues you, you don't need to hire an attorney just blow up the pics to take with you and show the judge.

Just wanted to add you haven't anything to worry about until the lawsuit is filed. Ignore her until then.

[tx] my Amazon package was delivered to the neighbors house on accident. I went over to get the package and brought it home, neighbor called the police and threatened to sue me. as the title states, I had a bed frame I bought from Amazon. I work from home and had been checking the tracking and noticed it had been delivered. There was no package on my porch when I went outside and looked around. I noticed there was a large package on my neighbors porch so I went over and saw that it was indeed my package(addressed to me). I took the package over to my house since it was mine. This happened maybe 2 weeks ago. The police showed up at my house today because my neighbor had called them and told them I had stolen a package and he had CCTV of me "stealing" my own package. I explained to the police but I no longer had the box the bed frame came in. I did however give them the invoice that came with the bed frame, and showed them the bed frame, I also logged into my Amazon to show them that the delivery date was the same day I took the package. They seemed to believe me and explained to him and also showed him the invoice. They took a statement from me and told me they would be in contact if there were further issues but they didn't charge me with anything and just left after they spoke with me. Now my neighbor has emailed me saying he is going to take me to small claims court for trespassing and theft, and he listed the amount as $2000. The bed frame I bought of Amazon was $190, and I didn't cause any damage to his property while retrieving it. Can he legally do this? What do I need to do if he does sue? If this does go to court, could the fact that the police came and decided no crime had happened help my case?

>Can he legally do this? Sure. He can legally sue you. He will not win. But he can do it. >What do I need to do if he does sue? Respond and go and plead your case. >If this does go to court, could the fact that the police came and decided no crime had happened help my case? Yes, absolutely. If he hasn't actually filed a lawsuit you can safely tell him to piss off. He has no case against you if the events you've given us are accurate. Granted, you *should* have asked him before taking the package off his porch. But that's besides the point now.

> Now my neighbor has emailed me saying he is going to take me to small claims court for trespassing and theft, and he listed the amount as $2000. When I dream I want a pony. If he sues you need to respond. You can also bring the police statement, your invoice, and the tracking information with you to the court. In reality, you didn't steal anything (it was your package) and he has no damages. Any small claims he pursues is going to be hard to win.

LOL I mean just LOL. He can sue you. If he does answer his petition. Now if you can, and I hope you can, ask for discovery and to submit interrogatories. Then ask one question: "What did you order that you allege I stole?"

You have been given good advice but I would add get a camera yourself. When neighbors get this nutty they might see you s enemy number 1 and do things. So get a good IP camera and set it up ASAP.

Tell him to kick rocks. If he sues you, of course you need to respond, but he won't win. With that type of behavior, I'd also stop bringing him his mail as well and just start writing return to sender on them to send them back.

They seemed to believe me and explained to him and also showed him the invoice. They took a statement from me and told me they would be in contact if there were further issues but they didn't charge me with anything and just left after they spoke with me. Now my neighbor has emailed me saying he is going to take me to small claims court for trespassing and theft, and he listed the amount as $2000. The bed frame I bought of Amazon was $190, and I didn't cause any damage to his property while retrieving it. Can he legally do this? What do I need to do if he does sue? If this does go to court, could the fact that the police came and decided no crime had happened help my case?

I got a text from my neighbor because I didn't want to cut down a tree that was on the property line, though much more on my side, saying that I needed to "put my big boy pants on", that he didn't play games and it was in his lawyers hands now. That was in September 2016...I guess he was playing games after all? Most neighbors who threaten to sue are all bluster.

Neighbor is casually threatening he may sue me over his buyers backing out of deal. Backstory: I live in a condo complex and have a neighbor directly across from me who has come after me with a 2x4, stood in front of my car and pounded on my door at night screaming nonsense and profanities. I've called the cops each time and have police records for all of these occurrences. I'm pretty sure he has some kind of mental disorder so I have some sympathy for the guy and against the police suggestions never gotten a restraining order (if he does anything again I am doing it). 99% of the time he's normal and waves to me and says hi and offers to help me bring furniture up my stairs. This is what leads me to think he's got some mental problems. Main Story: My next door neighbor just sold his condo and it was in escrow. About 10 days into escrow the new owners came by to look at the repairs from the inspection and to show their parents. Well, the guy across the street had one of his episodes and chased them into their new house, while screaming and yelling that he was going to fuck them up and stuff like that. My fiance was home and called me as this was going on. He got into his car and drove off. About 15 minutes later she had an appointment and was walking to her car when the new owners flagged her down to ask her about that guy and if she had ever had problems with him. She was honest and told them all the issues we had with him and that she thinks he has a mental problem but we aren't sure. Even the police told us something was wrong with him and used the schizophrenic word, "but they weren't sure." Fast forward two days and the original owner comes to me and starts bad mouthing my fiance to me saying she needs to keep her mouth shut. He said she told them he was a schizophrenic so they backed out and now she's liable for the things she said and if he goes to court she's going to be responsible for the words she said. Is there any legitimacy to what he's saying?

No. Not just no, but "fuck, no." Neither you nor your guests have a duty to the neighbour to keep your opinions of your other neighbours secret to help him sell his unit.
|
No, he can't sue you for legitimately disclosing issues you've had with your neighbor.

The owner could be required to disclose known issues like the crazy neighbor, if the owner has knowledge about any known issues. He wouldn't be successful in any suit against you for disclosing something he was already legally obligated to disclose himself.

Not at all. She could have said he was a giant blue heron for all it matters. The buyers had an encountered that clearly rattled them and made them think twice. You aren't responsible for what happened, and neither is your fiancée.

I took a 30 day leave of absence from work, told my CEO that it was for personal reasons (which he was perfectly fine with). My ex-wife called him and told him the reason and now I've lost my job. Is there anything I can do here? I am really torn here and not sure if I am just being petty by trying to make something of it. I developed a drug addiction a couple years ago after breaking my wrist and being prescribed oxycontin for about a year. I initially didn't know that I had a problem until suddenly I couldn't get them anymore, and I resorted to buying percocet from friends and local dealers (I live in a very popular city and it's very easy to get anything around here). After taking perc 30's a few times every day, and reading about all the fentanyl-laced stuff out there, I decided to get some help and go to a 30 day rehab facility in an attempt to just kick the habit once and for all before I actually did something that I'd regret. ​ I did not tell my CEO the reason for my leave of absence. I also do not think it directly impacted my work, as I was a senior developer with many responsibilities, always finished my projects on time, and was never questioned about anything. I simply told him that I was requesting a 30 day leave of absence for personal reasons, and his response at the time made it seem like he thought someone in my immediate family had passed away or something and told me to take all of the time that I need. ​ I got home from detox/rehab (an amazing place actually), completely drug-free and feeling like the best version of myself that I have been in a long time on Easter Sunday. I called my CEO Monday to let him know that I would be returning to work, only for him to say that I wasn't honest with him and that my ex-wife had called him (I guess initially to ask him a question about my W2 tax form - still none of her business) and had told him that I was a drug addict and in rehab. He told me that they started looking at other candidates to fulfill my role since they weren't sure if/when I would ever come back and if I could even be trusted any longer but he may consider hiring me again in the future. Do I just suck it up and find a new job? I am at a loss here. I have been with this company for over 9 years now which is almost my entire professional career, and now they think I am a drug addict that can't be trusted.

What's your location? How many employees? May be eligible for ADA protections here
|
Here's some of the background on ADA claims based on drug addiction: https://www.usccr.gov/files/pubs/ada/ch4.htm Leave for rehab may be covered under the FMLA as well. A quick google search shows a lot of rehab centers making the claim that the ADA protects you against being fired simply for going to rehab. With a company of over 50 employees, it is very possible that protections apply to you. I highly suggest that you retain any records of communication from your employer and speak to a lawyer with ADA experience.

I was assaulted by my ex in july. He was arrested and given a no contact order as a bond condition. His friends started contacting me to arrange for him to pick up his guns and ammo from our house, so i got a pfa. Now he has a lawyer trying to make arrangements for him to pick up his things. Is a lawyer considered 3rd party contact? I understand that he is in violation of the order if he were to obtain the guns, and I am certainly not going to hand them over. But in my pfa order it seems like his entering the home (i was granted exclusive possession) under any circumstances without the judge’s approval would be a violation. I can’t see how a lawyer could contact me on the side and try to make arrangements for me to leave for a couple hours so that he can get a few things, even if the things he does come get are not the guns, per se. Could i be in trouble for allowing him to get some things? I fully intend to see the pfa through, and don’t plan on fixing the relationship or anything like that. Located in KS

Not a lawyer if you don't feel comfortable giving the guns to him you could always give the guns to the police & let them know the situation.

I thought some states don't allow those with domestic charges to be in possession of firearms. Can anyone with more research knowledge look that up? Are you sure the lawyer is an actual lawyer? Could he have a friend pretending? Look up the name, don't trust contact info on letterhead or a phone call. Try contacting a woman's shelter (even if you are a man). They can offer guidance and information

I was assaulted by my ex in july. He was arrested and given a no contact order as a bond condition. His friends started contacting me to arrange for him to pick up his guns and ammo from our house, so i got a pfa. Now he has a lawyer trying to make arrangements for him to pick up his things. Is a lawyer considered 3rd party contact? I understand that he is in violation of the order if he were to obtain the guns, and I am certainly not going to hand them over. But in my pfa order it seems like his entering the home (i was granted exclusive possession) under any circumstances without the judge’s approval would be a violation. I can’t see how a lawyer could contact me on the side and try to make arrangements for me to leave for a couple hours so that he can get a few things, even if the things he does come get are not the guns, per se. Could i be in trouble for allowing him to get some things? I fully intend to see the pfa through, and don’t plan on fixing the relationship or anything like that. Located in KS

Contact your local domestic violence resource center. The KA attorney general has a website of these resources as a start. They can assist with free legal services that can assist you with removing the firearms from your possession, safely and legally, without putting them into the hands of someone that may use them to harm you. Kansas law makes it a crime for anyone subject to a protective order for domestic violence to possess firearms. But, you will need legal support to do this the legal way, so reaching out to those agencies who are both legally knowledgable and working in your interest will be your best course of action.

This is incorrect. Just as donkey stated, Lautenberg prohibits all access to firearms if convicted. So, for example, military members who are convicted are often involuntarily separated from service because they can no longer use firearms. Whether the ban on access applied PRIOR to conviction is based on state. Most states/courts will prohibit access as part of a TRO or at arraignment. Judges can also provide a limited exception, before a conviction, such as someone who uses a firearm for their work, and likit that access to performance of their duties (e.g.; military or police). Edit: this was relying to another poster. Don't know why it posted in the main.

Officer in KS. Contact your local Sheriffs department and they can set up a civil standby

You may want to contact the police about the firearms. If your ex is under a qualified protective order, he is prohibited from possessing firearms per 18 U.S. Code § 922 (g) (8).

My Brother recently passed away and the mother of his child drained his bank account 3 days later. Despite there being now will, them being separated, and not being a beneficiary. How should one approach this? Greetings all, Like the title says. She got his wallet and phone from authorities and took a substantial amount by transferring it to herself. Thus, leaving the rest of our family to front funeral cost. I have a death certificate with the date and a screen shot of a transfer into her account 3 days later. She was very forthcoming with the info but, It just feels very dirty considering he has two other children and they won’t see any of that money. I’m also concerned he may have other lines of credit that may being taken advantage of, but I’m not sure with what institutions or if that is even the case. Currently tracking down the bank he used to inform then and hopefully get it closed. Just looking for any other tips on how to proceed. Thanks all.

Was this a joint account? If not, how did she access the funds? Did she have the PIN number? Or did she make card transactions without a PIN?
|
It’s not clear - Were they married? Is there a divorce pending? Looks like a typo about the will. Is there no will or now a will? What state did your brother live in?

US-PA I gave my child a debit card for a prom dress and her father drained my bank account? Her father and I were never married. He and I do not share a last name and never lived together. We have a custody agreement. He legally has to pay child support attached to his wages. Our 17 year old wanted a prom dress and dad is just not ok financially to afford one. Since it was his weekend last weekend, he said he would take her but that he needed "help". I gave our child my debit card with our shared last name on it (daughter and I) ONLY because I was Covid positive and not in any shape to go to a bank or drive around shopping. Dad decided to keep her a little longer through the week since I was still feeling pretty awful which I thought was nice. Until I started getting notifications of "large withdrawals" from my bank card. Our child spent $70 on the dress. I gave her the pin. Dad asked her for the pin and used it at multiple ATM's (per the bank) to take out over $200 in additional funds. He is on camera taking out the money. His excuse to me is that "well, you made me keep her because you were sick so I had to feed her". I am thinking about pressing charges. The bank shut down the cards and account. Worst of all, our child is in tears because she said dad "made her" give him the pin and she didn't know he was stealing. She is begging me not to press charges. ANY HELP PLEASE! tl;dr gave my teenage child a bank card because I was too sick with Covid to help her shop for Prom. Dad took the card and went to multiple banks draining the account. We do not share a last name. Child blames herself. Should I press charges?

I would definitely recommend filing a police report for it and referring it to your bank as fraud. They won’t handle it for you. More importantly I would recommend that you check your child’s credit report to make sure that he has not opened any credit cards in her name. If he’s willing to steal from you this blatantly I would bet that he is willing to steal from your kids. So make sure that it’s not happening. You should also put a freeze on their credit for the meantime.

If he wasn't authorized to use it, you can file a police report and fraud with the bank.

>Worst of all, our child is in tears because she said dad "made her" give him the pin and she didn't know he was stealing. She is begging me not to press charges Your first priority should be to get her out of this situation emotionally. She doesn't need to know you're considering reporting it. Even at 17, she should not be put in the middle of a conflict between her parents. Let her know the bank account was closed, you'll be covered by the bank's fraud protection, and you're glad she got a dress she's happy with. She obviously knows what her dad did is wrong. Even if custody isn't an issue anymore, one of the most hard-and-fast rules of co-parenting/parallel-parenting is to not disparage the other parent in front of the kid. It may also relieve her of some emotional burden of associating the dress with her dad committing a major financial crime. Everything beyond that should stay between adults. File a police report, keep very detailed records, and cooperate with the DA if they decide to press charges.

You are an adult. Child's father is an adult. He committed a crime and it has consequences. Let him know you will be filing a police report. Explain this to your daughter without putting her in the middle as it was not her fault. Her father should never have used her like this. You should have never trusted him with your money knowing first of all you had to fight to get child support and none the less taken from his paycheck. If a parent won't support their child, they aren't a responsible person. At least it was only $200, not more. I would be concerned about what he is teaching your daughter.

Worst of all, our child is in tears because she said dad "made her" give him the pin and she didn't know he was stealing. She is begging me not to press charges. ANY HELP PLEASE! tl;dr gave my teenage child a bank card because I was too sick with Covid to help her shop for Prom. Dad took the card and went to multiple banks draining the account. We do not share a last name. Child blames herself. Should I press charges?

You are an adult. Child's father is an adult. He committed a crime and it has consequences. Let him know you will be filing a police report. Explain this to your daughter without putting her in the middle as it was not her fault. Her father should never have used her like this. You should have never trusted him with your money knowing first of all you had to fight to get child support and none the less taken from his paycheck. If a parent won't support their child, they aren't a responsible person. At least it was only $200, not more. I would be concerned about what he is teaching your daughter.

You may want to start monitoring your daughter's credit.

US-PA I gave my child a debit card for a prom dress and her father drained my bank account? Her father and I were never married. He and I do not share a last name and never lived together. We have a custody agreement. He legally has to pay child support attached to his wages. Our 17 year old wanted a prom dress and dad is just not ok financially to afford one. Since it was his weekend last weekend, he said he would take her but that he needed "help". I gave our child my debit card with our shared last name on it (daughter and I) ONLY because I was Covid positive and not in any shape to go to a bank or drive around shopping. Dad decided to keep her a little longer through the week since I was still feeling pretty awful which I thought was nice. Until I started getting notifications of "large withdrawals" from my bank card. Our child spent $70 on the dress. I gave her the pin. Dad asked her for the pin and used it at multiple ATM's (per the bank) to take out over $200 in additional funds. He is on camera taking out the money. His excuse to me is that "well, you made me keep her because you were sick so I had to feed her". I am thinking about pressing charges. The bank shut down the cards and account.

If it were me, I would report it to your bank as stolen money and file a claim with a police report. I have had this very same (daughter had card and wife stole it) situation. They will reimburse you and pursue matter against him. Although they are busy and They’ll probably drop charges on him and he’ll get away and you’ll get your money back.

>Worst of all, our child is in tears because she said dad "made her" give him the pin and she didn't know he was stealing. She is begging me not to press charges Your first priority should be to get her out of this situation emotionally. She doesn't need to know you're considering reporting it. Even at 17, she should not be put in the middle of a conflict between her parents. Let her know the bank account was closed, you'll be covered by the bank's fraud protection, and you're glad she got a dress she's happy with. She obviously knows what her dad did is wrong. Even if custody isn't an issue anymore, one of the most hard-and-fast rules of co-parenting/parallel-parenting is to not disparage the other parent in front of the kid. It may also relieve her of some emotional burden of associating the dress with her dad committing a major financial crime. Everything beyond that should stay between adults. File a police report, keep very detailed records, and cooperate with the DA if they decide to press charges.

Bank just gave my parents access to my bank account and transaction history, I'm 32. This is regarding the BBT and SunTrust merger. I had a SunTrust account set up when I was 13yrs old. This was setup as a minor account on my parents account, so I could start to learn about money. I've kept that same account up to today. When I was 19 I had the account separated. This was done by going into the bank with one of my parents (for authorization) and having them transfer my account into a new account that they would not have access to. Fast forward to yesterday, Suntrust and BBT are making the final changes to accounts to complete the merger. During this time my account and my parents accounts were merged again. This may have been caused by my dad and I having the same name. This gave them full access to my account, and the ability to go thru my statements. I know the first question asked is going to be damages. Well, there really aren't any. As this mysterious account popped up under their account they combed thru the transactions trying to figure out where it came from. Eventually they found a purchase that showed the city I am living in, and figured out it was my account. I feel like my privacy was violated. Honestly, it's really just kind of embarrassing. I'm not looking for a huge payday, just seeing if there is any recourse for this. To make everything worse the issue is still not fixed. The merger must be a real mess because hold times are north of 1hr, and my call keeps getting dropped.

I'd start by transferring your accounts to an entirely different financial institution. Once that is done, file a complaint with your state's banking regulator. The exact name varies a little from state to state, but it's usually some variant of "department of banking". If you can't find it, your state's Attorney General would be an alternate complaint direction. They likely will not be able to handle your complaint, but will be able to point you in the correct direction. I'd then go back and print out any account statements -- ideally from before the merger -- from your current bank. Keep these for future records. You're correct in that you likely don't have any damages, unless there's a state or federal law that was violated. Even if there was, that's best left to a government agency to pursue. However, you may be the 50th person to file this same complaint this week, and that could be the tipping point for regulators to step in. Your privacy was definitely violated. It's just a question of what, if anything, can be done about it.

There are many moving pieces to a merger like this and the hold times are mostly old, angry customers unable to properly log into the new website. In terms of why this happened, it is likely that they didn't completely decouple your account from your parent's IDs There was a vestige link, probably just about online banking that they didn't remove from your account, and when the data migration happened it saw that there was a link to the account and your parent's online banking and it relinked the accounts. It is not likely that this was just a name snafu because each person is coded by several data points to a unique ID in the bank system, and those don't just jump around willy-nilly. That isn't to excuse it, but just provide the most likely explanation of what happened. ​ There is really little recourse that you have. You could file something with CFPB and/or the OCC, but there is likely no damages for you to recoup. If it makes you feel better to make an official complaint, go for it? ​ To get it fixed quickly I would go to a branch and speak with someone directly Tell them the situation and they will be able to get you on a list of customers that need something fixed. Be sure to get a business card and that the problem is in that person's hands so you can later hold them accountable if need be. Ask them how it happened and how they are going to stop it from happening again, they should review the entire account to remove any other possible connections that survived the merger. If you are determined to not have this happen again, you can open up a new account, but you need to decide if it is worth it at this point in time. Opening new accounts is always a pain in the ass.

Get in touch with the bank examiner and see if you have any recourse. They inspect all complaints with regard to banks.
|
CFPB, FTC, and OCC complaints. Also go into the branch. Its hard to avoid someone waiting in the middle of the lobby for a branch manager. If you have a bad relationship with your parents you want to close the account and go to another bank. If you have a good relationship with your parents, you can decide if you want to close the account and go to another bank.

I'm a credit union loan specialist. This may be a violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act, but that really is more about lending. It would not hurt, however, to file a complaint with the CFPB, as others have suggested. It could also be a Regulation E violation, since they gave your parents electronic access to your accounts. FDIC probably is your best complaint party there. You may receive some compensation in the form of service, but the most important thing is accountability. Yes, they are experiencing a merger and therefor a core system change, but that doesn't excuse cutting corners in the change. This error implies that there was a programming error in their core conversion and someone dropped the ball. My own credit union experienced a core conversion a year and a half ago and we still experience high call volumes due to people dealing with the change. I would suggest to visit a branch and ask to speak with a branch manager or member service specialist to have the account signers rectified. Even if their core system has changed, there should be a way they are able to see the paperwork that was signed when you took the account under yourself as a signer and that would be all they need to remove your parents from the account. It doesn't take anyone really "high up" to change signers on an account. Also consider putting your money in a financial institution that is smaller with more member-based service.

I was "Fired" because of the actions of another worker back in October. I was then not informed about them deciding to not fire me until I went in for my w2. I am now out of 2 weeks worth of pay. Is there any chance I have a legal case to get the money I lost. Back in January and febuary of 2021 a worker in the deli of my walmart gave me and other associates meal dishes with UPC codes that were incorrect and charged way to little for each meal. 9 months later on october 8th I was brought into the office by someone that no longer worked at my store and they terminated me. Two weeks later when the job search wasnt going anywhere I decided to get my W2 from them to file for unemployment, that when I was finally told about the fact that they decided to not terminate me and I was still employeed at the store. They refuse to give me back pay for the 2 weeks I lost, was there or is there anything I can so to get the 2 weeks pay I lost. If not anymore that is fine, I just need to know is there ever way anything I could do.

You were informed you were fired. Their failure to process that doesn't matter to you. If they want to rehire you, that is of course possible and refusing may have implications for your unemployment insurance. You should still be able to apply for UI for those 2 weeks you missed, even if you decide to accept their offer to resume your employment.
|
Not a lawyer, but you can accept their first firing and still apply for unemployment, unless you want to continue working there

Employer just informed me I was never put on payroll and "don't have a w2" Very unusual situation. My former employer who laid all of us off suddenly in mid November is just today telling me that I was never "entered into payroll" and don't have a w2. He is suggesting that instead he can write me a check for the taxes already withheld from my pay. This immediately rang alarm bells because I'm not an idiot. I said replied neutrally that I needed time to make a decision. Here's the thing, throughout my employment there I was not provided with paystubs with each paycheck. I repeatedly asked for my paystubs and it was always blamed on "the bookkeeper". I looked it up and the state I'm in does not require employers to provide paystubs. Fine. But when I was laid off I wanted to apply for unemployment and needed a final paystub. After almost a month of daily texts I finally got a final paystub from him, reviewing it now I had almost $1500 withheld in taxes from a gross pay of around $2500 over a period of about 3.5 months. This amount of tax now seems excessively high AND if I "have no w2" does that mean my employer withheld taxes from my pay and did not actually pay that money forward as taxes. What do I need to do here to both stay in the clear tax wise AND potentially recover the money withheld perhaps wrongly?

So it definitely is not quite adding up. Talk with a CPA, they can probably guide you through dealing with this. They would be able to keep you in the clear. It probably won't be free but shouldn't be too costly. Do this soon because they get bombarded with work between now and April so keep that in mind. Hiring a lawyer or going after them legally doesn't seem worth it. And CPA's are certified to deal with the IRS on your behalf if they decide to come calling or asking questions.

If you live in a state with a labor board or labor commission start there. This is a big deal and they will be able to provide the most assistance. If your state does not have that, you really might want to call your local district attorney and see if anyone does payroll fraud. After that, the IRS might actually be able to help, they have records on the other side for you pay, if your boss withheld and sent in the tax payment which I doubt. You are actually the victim of a crime here, not just a lazy accounting. Your employer could feed all the payroll info into business software and get it all straightened out, but they aren't I am not recommending a CPA or tax person because you're going to spend half your total pay on them, as your total income is well below the free tax filing software threshold.

This is one of those situations where Reddit may be insufficient and you may need to hire an attorney because, from where i sit, this screams wage/hour violations as well as having state/federal tax consequences. You should assume, until proven otherwise, that NO TAXES HAVE BEEN PAID ON YOUR BEHALF to the IRS or your state tax board. It sounds to me like your former employer realized he had a lot of under the table workers in the business and fired you all to avoid a future problem (perhaps noticing it's illegal to not ensure all employees are legally permitted to work in the US, for example, something that would have been done by payroll when you were hired.)\* You're obligated to pay your taxes, even if you thought your employer was paying them. The good news is the IRS (and likely your state tax board) tends to be forgiving of people who call up and say "I just discovered my employer never paid taxes on my wages" and they'll help you figure this all out. You may also be able to schedule payments. They will also very likely investigate your former employer's business as a result. \*there's a reason many smaller businesses outsource payroll to companies like ADP - they take care of all the regulatory issues

If you do get a check ask for a cashiers check because otherwise there is a decent chance a regular check will bounce.

Insist that he provide a W2. It can be typed up by a secretary on stock purchased at Staples. that is all you need to say. If he says no, contact an accountant and follow his instructions. Any money over withheld will be refunded by the government.

If your employer is "witholding taxes" and not filing a W-2, they are stealing the money. You should report them to the IRS. Do not agree to take this check. Demand that he files a W-2 by the deadline. If he doesn't you are required to call the IRS and they will send him a reminder. If one is still not received, you will fill out a substitute form. This will trigger the IRS to investigate and issue fines. If it is found that the employer portion of payroll taxes was not paid, or that amounts were reported to you as withheld were not actually paid to the IRS, he will get in huge trouble for it.

I rent a 2 bedroom apart. and live alone. Landlord has informed me that on October 1 a stranger will be leasing my spare room. There is nothing in my lease about this being allowed. The property management company won’t return my calls and I found out the guy may have spent time in jail for drugs Boston, Massachusetts. Is there anything I can do to combat this or can I use this to legally break my lease? Thank you.

First steps: send the certified letter saying "not no but hell no" and make a copy of your lease with the "I rent the whole apartment" parts circled. I would suggest taking a few days off work around Oct1, literally barricading the door and putting on netflix or something. Just chill in your apartment the whole time. DO NOT allow your landlord to start moving someone in. If someone tries to break into your apartment (i.e. your landlord gave them a key), call the police ASAP. It'll be a lot easier to get the police involved if they have not moved in, because then it's not an eviction issue. Have copies of the information readily available to hand to the cops.

One suggestion: if you're trying to phone the manager and they are not returning your calls, try calling from another number. Sometime magically their phone works.

For no other reason other than curiosity, I would go online and look for the apartment on a few apartment websites (Craigslist, Zillow, etc.) using both maps search and address search to see if he is actually so deranged as to have listed your extra room (if, in fact, your lease indicates that you are leasing the entire apartment). Of course, if you do find any evidence of listings in any of these places, saving all the pages (print to PDF is your friend here) might be a good move before they get disappeared from the cyber ether. I'm literally just wondering if he has been showing your apartment and not giving you notice that he's been there while you're at work.
