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.

People's Court: 7-11-12 **** Friends **** Test Drive **** Invitations

James and Steven are friends. They met in a recovery program. James lent money to Steven to buy a motorcycle. Steven denies the loan. Of course, there is nothing in writing. After the fact, James wants Steven to sign a promissory note. This does not go over well, they get into a physical fight. They both claim the other threw the first punch. Since Steven wants $3000.00 in medical bills, he needs to prove that he was attacked. Witnesses to the fight would make all the difference. Steven claims there were a few people that saw the fight but they do not want to get involved. He has so many excuses, some are elderly, another wears an ankle bracelet and can not be in New York. He also claims James was trying to steal his fiancee. He does not win his counterclaim. Meanwhile, James has a witness to the purchase of the motorcycle. The man that sold the motorcycle tells the court that James handed him the money and Steven rode the motorcycle away and crashed it! Steven does not sound like he is having too much luck. The shame of it is, these two men had a friendship and allowed money and jealously to get in the way. Also, James denies he ever had any desires towards his friend's fiancee. What caused this situation to escalate to physical violence? I believe the money transaction should have been made clear from the beginning. Before the money changed hands, both men should have been agreed on the loan. Also, Steven's fiancee should not have gone to lunch and spent time alone with James. On a happy note, Steven and his fiancee did work out their problems and are now married.

Titus buys a used car without taking it for a test drive. Jeff, the owner of the used car lot says this is common. I do not understand how anyone can buy a car, new or used without taking it for a test drive. Titus tells the court that 15 years ago, he bought a car from the same lot from Jeff's dad. and did not take it for a test drive. Since Jeff's dad was so reputable and he had no problem with that car, he felt he could trust Jeff. It really isn't about trust, it is about the car. What if it is just uncomfortable to drive? After the purchase of the used car, Titus drives the car away and comes back ten minutes later. He says there are problems with the car. Oh my, a test drive would have been a good idea!!!!  Jeff is willing to work with Titus even though there is no warranty on the car. Titus has signed three documents that it is an as-is sale. Titus does not want to take any responsibility for buying a used car without performing his own due diligence. Titus continues to have problems with the car, Jeff keeps telling him to have it checked out. Even after Titus loses the case, Jeff is still willing to work with him to keep him happy. He does not have to do this, but still extends the offer.

Jonelle hires Orrett, a friend of her uncle, to print 120 invitations for a surprise party for her mother. She wants them done quickly to hand out at a family gathering. Orrett agrees to print them for her right away. He should not have made promises he could not keep. He starts the job and then runs out of ink. To save money, he orders ink online. This adds an additional delay. None of this would have happened if he would have gone to a store for the ink. He wants to save a few dollars and now winds up in court and does not even stick to a straight story. First he says he would have the invitations ready, then he says he would try to have them ready. He says he would return the money, he gave Jonelle's uncle a check, then he says he is not returning her money. It is easy to see that Orrett is not believable. He is also counterclaiming for $80.00, even though he did not return Jonelle's money. Now he has to return her money and he is not getting an additional $80.00 for his time printing the invitations he says he threw away. He had an invitation to show the Judge, I guess he did not throw them all away!  Why not just tell the truth? Things happen and we need to be flexible. In a case where time is of the essence, Orrett should have bought the ink locally to avoid  the delay. He should have taken the commitment to the job much more seriously.
