    Security Deposit Landlord Won't Give Back Deposit

    My husband and I moved in with friends to a house six months ago. Four months into our month-to-month lease our friends had to move to a different state for a job. When they let the landlord know (verbally), he came over to discuss our plans for moving. We let him know we couldn't stay and...

    Senior Housing Bait and Switch Situation

    Here's the situation: My grandparents just moved here and are trying to find an apartment. Since they are very low income, I've been looking at senior housing that is subsidized. Much to my surprise, everything had a long waiting list, except one particular complex. I went on a tour of...

    Overtime

    Is this legal... Company pays out "overtime" with cash (and doesn't report it to the state) and only pays straight time for overtime (not time and a half).

    Defendent Dodging Being Served

    Yes, but I cannot personally serve the defendant since I'm involved in the claim. WA law says someone who is not directly involved has to deliver the papers, which is why we hired a process server. Unfortunately, the process server is not going to hang out waiting for the guy to leave his...

    Consumer Fraud Film School

    I really really feel your pain. My husband went to film school in Seattle and was promised a lot that was not delivered. He ended up "graduating", but decided that the $20k he paid was a rip-off. In retrospect, he wishes he would have left when he realized what a joke the school was, and...

    Defendent Dodging Being Served

    I'm filing a Small Claims Notice for the company I work for due to a non-paying customer. I put all the paperwork through the courts, received my court date and started the process of serving the defendant. I first looked up his address with my county to make sure he was the actual owner of...

    Can the kids be taken out of state?

    I understand what all of you are saying. It's incredibly hard to prove verbal and emotional abuse. She doesn't have any other family or friends in the area, just me... thousands of miles away. She's only been living in VA for a few months, but use to live on the West Coast with me. She...

    Can the kids be taken out of state?

    I had heard that if the couple are still married and living together (not currently separated), that she doesn't need permission because marriage implies permission. Not sure if that's a valid arguement. Anything on the books about exceptions of leaving due to abuse? What about if she...

    Can the kids be taken out of state?

    I'm not familiar with family law, so I need some advice. My friend is trying to leave the situation she's in (lives with her husband and in-law's and they're verbally and emotionally abusive). She has two children, one being from her husband and the other from a previous relationship. She...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks Accused of Stealing a Credit Card

    I agree. Something is going on with it. My friend isn't a liar, and definitely not a thief. She makes fairly good money and would have no need to steal, especially from her husband's parents. Her father-in-law is threatening to file a police report, which she openly encourages, but I'm...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks Accused of Stealing a Credit Card

    Yeah, it's one of those custom ice cream shops (I don't want to say the name). She only purchased for three people, which seems impossible to spend $40 on ice cream for 3 people. However, she had two other children with her, which could easily be $40 for 5 people, even though the children paid...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks Accused of Stealing a Credit Card

    No, the shop doesn't have video. She asked if any of the people working may have remembered her or the person who used the card, but she said the shop was so busy that the employees didn't remember. She's trying to get a copy of the credit card receipt for herself to see the rest of the facts...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks Accused of Stealing a Credit Card

    I'm asking this for a friend of mine, who's dealing with this right now. She's been accused by her in-laws (of whom she lives with) of stealing their credit card and making a purchase at an ice cream shop for around $40. Yes, it sounds silly, and yet is very true. The reason they are...
