Thank you very much to Carly from WeShouldntSing for the special guest blog on Tuesday.

I hope you had as much fun writing as I did reading.

I look forward to future guest blogs!

Ashley And The Stolen Check

Ashley is suing Ryeisha for $950.00. The two girls go to high school together. They have been friends for about a year. Ryeisha asked Ashley to cash a check for her from her uncle. Why couldn't the uncle cash the check? Ashley did not ask. She deposited the check and took out the money from the ATM to pay Ryeisha. She could not take the money out all at one time due to withdrawal limits. It took her three days to take out the $950.00 to give the money to Ryeisha. Soon after this, Ryeisha gave Ashley another check to cash. Ryeisha found a blank signed check at school. She picked it up, put her name on it and gave it to Ashley to cash.

What were these two girls getting themselves involved in? The school called Ryeisha's mom and told her there was video surveillance of Ryeisha picking up the check. They called Ashley and told her not to deposit it. She had already deposited it, but had not withdrawn the money yet.

The money she is being sued for is from the first check. Ryeisha says they split the money, Ashley says she gave all of the money to Ryeisha. Neither girl is telling the truth. It is very difficult to figure out what the truth is. There are text messages between the two girls, but even these messages do not make it clear how they split the money. The  Judge rules in favor of Ashley. Neither girl was innocent and hopefully they both learned from this experience.

Crystal And Her Kenneth Cole Coat

Crystal is suing a nightclub for $299.00. This is for the cost of her Kenneth Cole coat. Crystal went out for a night of fun with her friends. She made it very clear in her written answer to the complaint that she does not "do" clubs. The club's policy is that everyone check their coats. When a commotion occurred in the club, Crystal decided to leave. Crystal does not "do" commotion! The line was very long for the coats, so she asked if she could get her coat the next day. This is because she obviously does not "do" lines! Even though the claim check clearly states the club is not responsible for items left on the premises, she believes it is okay to leave her coat. When she returns to the club six days later to get her coat, they do not have it. She also does not have her claim check, but they let her look at the two coats that were there. Neither coat is hers. Crystal leaves and comes back with her husband and the claim check. Did she think her coat was going to materialize? The club manager offers her a bottle and a table. Crystal wants the money for her coat. The bottle they are offering her cost $300.00. She should have taken them up on their offer. They have no legal obligation to pay her for the coat. The statement on the claim check is very clear. The Judge finds in favor of the club. Crystal is not happy and believes one of the employees is wearing her coat. Crystal should have waited in line for her coat, it is time to "do" lines!

Darren And The Custom Made Pool Cover

Darren is suing Brian for $1396.41. This is for the cost of a custom pool cover. Brian is the friend of a friend. Darren is nice enough to help Brian clean the pool and get it ready for use. Brian asked Darren to order a cover for his pool. After Darren measured the pool, he called Brian and gave him two choices for the cover. Brian called him back and told him he wanted the one with the warranty. He very clearly knew that Darren was ordering the cover. Brian decides to go online and order a cheaper cover. Why would he do this? He leaves a message for Darren that a friend of his gave him a cover for the pool. Why does he lie? Brian is very unclear about the entire situation. He says he had three days to change his mind and then he says he did not have a contract. Which is it? Well, the Judge clears it up for him. He has to pay for the pool cover. Now he will have a custom made pool cover when the cheap one rips!

GUEST WRITER! People's Court -- 9/18/2012 -- Tuesday

Hi all! My name is Carly and I'm from the YouTube Channel WeShouldntSing! I will be writing the People's Court Blog today and herrrreeeee we go!

                                             Here comes trouble, make it double!

Plaintiff- Daniel  ($5,000)
Defendants -- Darla and Anthony ($5,000)

               The Plaintiff (Daniel) is suing for his security deposit, moving fees, and rent he never paid. ($5,000) Already I'm like, what? If he never paid the rent.... this should get interesting.
                He moved to the place so he could be closer to his school. According to the Plaintiff there's 6 students living in the house and they're all renting individual rooms in the house. Daniel says Anthony asked him to move out because he wears too much cologne. Seriously? No sense was made in that argument haha.
                Anthony claims that Daniel would umm... how to put this lightly.... use the restroom at night multiple times and...well.... make the house have an unpleasant odor. The Defendants are also claiming he made the room his own personal storage unit and stacked his belongings to the point where the cleaning lady can't get in. Darla is saying they won't return the security deposit because there was also an unpleasant smell in Daniel's room that they can't get out. She also says they have to paint the room to get the smell out and that is why she is keeping half of the security deposit. The Judge informs the Defendants that they live in a state that requires them to send an itemized letter to the tenant about why they are keeping the security deposit or else they have to pay him back double. The Judge also asks Daniel if he really thinks he's entitled to the money he hasn't paid them. He kind of skirts around it so we can effectively say that part of the lawsuit is       d
  r
    o
      p
        p
          e
            d
   
        Now let's talk about the counterclaim for 5,000! Daniel wrote a statement saying Darla is from the ghetto. He wrote it in a letter to the court about the lawsuit so......... DISMISSED!
         The Defendants have to pay $1,100 DOUBLE his security deposit! BAM JUSTICE haha


                                                          #JusticeServed
Plaintiff--  Tequila ($3,227)
Defendant--  Sheila

     Tequila is suing because Sheila (her employee) was ringing up hair extensions and was using a fraudulent credit card so all the charges got reversed. I'm a little confused right now, so let's watch it and shed some light on this case.
      Tequila owns the salon where Sheila works. Sheila was ringing up extensions for a coworker (from another job) who was using a fraudulent credit card. Sheila says she matched the credit card to the person who was using it. Matched it with her ID and everything, but the magnetic strip was scratched so she had to punch in the credit card number manually. She was really reluctant to say it, and it's fair to say Tequila offered up that information. The second time a fraudulent card is used (December 12th) it is also for one of Sheila's coworkers (from another job). Again the number was typed in. It is really so, so sad that all of Sheila's coworkers have credit cards with the magnetic strips that are scratched off. Sheila has a suppressed smirk on her face like the whole time. Sheila admits she didn't really check the IDs OMG SURPRISE OF THE CENTURY RIGHT THERE! So there are 3 more fraudulent charges, 2 by her other friends and the last one by, HERSELF! She says she paid Tequila in cash for the purchase she made with the card.
     The Judge is getting serious now. She calls Sheila a scam artist and a thief, accuses her of actually stealing the credit card numbers from the salon and that there are no other coworkers, all of these transactions have been Sheila. The Judge used a 2 syllable "puh-leez" she is madddd now. Needless to say, the Plaintiff gets all her money. #JusticeServed.

                                              Sweet Carolyn and the Cougar

Plaintiff-- Carolyn ($2414.50)
Defendant-- Jeffrey
        Just to preface this case, Carolyn bought a lemon (car) from Jeffery. She wants her money back and Jeffrey is like AS IS and it was in fine shape when she bought it.
         The Plaintiff knew the Defendant and they have done business in the past. For this case they bought a 1999 Cougar and the car did not start at the dealership. Jeffery said they would have to pay half of the part he ordered. The Judge is like "he wouldn't give you a refund" and she's like nope and I have no idea why. Jeffery says he would have given her a refund, but she wanted the car. The Defendant states that she agreed to pay for half of the part he put in the car. ---I like the Plaintiff's shirt, by the way.----- According the the Plaintiff with the nice shirt, the car won't start AGAIN. She said the car is making a grinding and funky sound. She plays the video of the humming sounds. It sounds like someone blowing over an empty water jug. She had the car towed to his shop and when she went to get her car he told her he had her car delivered to her house and they keys were in the mailbox. He claims there was nothing wrong with the car when it was brought to his place. Since Carolyn doesn't have any proof that the car was unsafe at the time of sale, she does not get her money back. Oh sweet Carolyn, good times may have never felt so good, but those good times are not today.
