My fiance had a guy sue her last year over a bogus lease he said she signed 6 years ago. She was a single mother working third shift who moved in with her aunt so there would be someone around when her son was sleeping. Her aunt and aunt's brother immediately started stealing from her and doing other weird things. She moved out and got her own apartment a month later.

He sued her and said she defaulted on a "lease", and he owed her $3k. My fiance educated herself, pulled tons of documentation, and then found a law saying the guy only had so long to sue her (statute of limitations). She was fully prepared to whoop him in court, but she mailed in a motion to dismiss based on the statute of limitations the week before. The clerk said no one EVER did that. The judge read the motion and dismissed the case before this idiot had a chance to even make his bogus case.

The point is to be prepared, and you obviously were. Great job.
Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Shrf what a great story! It is amazing What we can all do now with such easy access to info via the internet!

Please keep the stories coming!

I'm a great divorce attorney. Anyone need help let me know.
My experience is. 15 years of hell. She brought me back to court every month for darn near 15 years. I have this thing down.
Oh cheap rates too 😢😢

Sorry BBP, you can’t bring this up now. 12k post and this is the first I am hearing about it 😅

That does suck. I am glad my parents stayed together and this was avoided. My wife’s parents are divorced and it is awkward

Yes it is what it is this day and age. But hey. I'm glad you are getting somewhere on this. I would have thought that they would have a loop hole in this and would have gotten out of it.

I watched a documentary on Amazon and how they have changed the marketplace. Anyone interested seeing it, here ya go... Long but very interesting.



So I'm on the road quite a bit and I've noticed a change in Fed-Ex. The other day I saw a semi Fed-Ex truck involved in a crash. Several times I see them taking huge risks as they drive. I told a driver that came to my house the other day to slowwyourassdown or next time I'll shoot the wheels out from under the van. I thought he was seriously going to run over my dog. Mud caked delivery van's, meatheads driving them, yadayada. But these guys are just trying to keep up.

My point is, Amazon has changed Fed-Ex, UPS, and all the other delivery services. Amazon has already taken over retail through the long game, and delivery is no different.

Keep in mind FedEx and Amazon drivers are all independent contractors and not employees. UPS are employees. You’d think independent contractors would act better, as they have more to loose. But my 30+ years in the business tells me they don’t. Problem is they are paid by the route and the faster they finish, the faster they get home. Amazon has changed the retail landscape but they are following the same flawed business plan for delivery of packages the others have.

UPS just sent a guy out to my house with a check to pay me from the law suit. I am glad that it all worked out

Nice follow up AJC!

Did you happen to ask if they could pay you with toilet paper or hand soap instead?
