Oh, this is a juicy juicy case. There will be records going back years where she was acting in good faith about being married, and with him being a fraud. He done hosed himself good on this one. Hopefully she already got a lawyer on it.

My only worry is she won't keep her back straight and proud throughout the inevitable emotional bullshit he'll try to put her through, and she'll cave somewhere.

Company I have never heard of withdraws $500 from my bank account. Pays it back 2 weeks later. Caused me much stress - can I demand compensation? (self.legaladvice)


quote:

I'm in Boston, MA

I didn't know what the charge was so I thought my identity was stolen and it caused a great deal of stress.

The first two times I called the company, they had no idea who I was and what the charge was. I thought it was related to my university (I'm a grad student) so I contacted them, too. Eventually they realized it was from a medical insurance company for my student plan in 2015 and it was an erroneous charge (one company had bought another and they still had my info on file).

They have now paid back the money, but the situation caused a great deal of stress, took at least an hour of my time if you add up all the call I made, and the company did not even apologize. Not to mention, I could have had the money in the market (I try to transfer $1500 to savings monthly and instead I transferred $1000 this month, which I used to buy AAPL that day and its up 5% since).

Obviously I am not going to sue them or anything, but I feel that simply paying me back the amount taken is not satisfactory. Maybe if they just apologized I would have felt better!

My school has asked me to say if I had an overdraft fee as a result of the charge. I did not, but again, this really did make organizing my finances much more difficult and I had to call both my university and the company 3 times each.

Does anyone have advice for me? I just feel like this is unfair and I want like $50 for it. I don't like the idea that a company I've never heard of can withdraw money from my bank account and it can take me a week to even figure out who it was, and then only because I complain they give me the money back and that's that. Do I just have to let it go and accept that I'm powerless and start hiding gold and a rifle under my bed and move to the woods?

Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Me [28 M/F] with my GF [29 M/F] 4+years, I used restaurant coupon for her birthday and she was not impressed. We then fought.

quote:

Can't sleep much. Fought with my GF again, sleeping on the couch. Gist of the story goes like this. It's her birthday. I spend $270 on some white gold, low quality diamond necklace to give her. Can't complain. Financially, let's just say I'm not doing great, unemployed, barely any savings, but I thought she deserved something respectable after living together for a year.

For dinner, I want to make it romantic but need to counterbalance the expense I spent on the gift. Using my Asian frugalness, I find a coupon for $50 off of $75 (guess what site haha). This place is romantic, $25-40 a dish. I'm thinking score, wine and dine time. When she finds out, she's not impressed and doesn't like the idea of not paying full price. Dinner was awkward as she seemed unhappy. She got a $41 lobster pasta dish and a glass of pinot grigio. She is still unimpressed, and at this point I felt she was just being ridiculous and unappreciative. I had to explain my financial situations and she said she would rather go somewhere else and fork part of the bill. I said she could pay for my birthday, but I didn't want her to spend anything on her birthday. I told her she needs to let me feel like a "man" as I feel that I can still give her the royal treatment while in a financial rut.

During this explanation, she mumbles "maybe I'm just high class." Goddammit, this made me furious. I told her I want to laugh in her face for saying that. Obviously, I try to tell her that frugality is a virtue not a vice, but to me she's too stupid to even consider something like that. She doesn't even consider that I had to weigh in the expense of the jewelry gift by being more selective on dinner. gently caress my life.

Well, she ends up being happy because I actually made her a loving cake and had flowers waiting back home. She appreciates that effort at least. We're no longer arguing, but I can't shake the thought of her acting childish and entitled again in the future. Our values on this matter simply don't complement each other and I wonder if it's sustainable.

Edit: Thanks for the feedback. I'd say about 33% of you guys are against coupons on special occasions, which is understandable. A lot of you guys think I hate my GF because I called her stupid, but I only said that out of frustration. Lastly, some of guys think I'm an rear end in a top hat for spending 300 bucks while being unemployed. Well, that sentiment was something I did not anticipate. I don't need redditors to tell me an appropriate budget to spend on my GF on her birthday, that is just ridiculous. When I was budgeting my expenses, I found more value in giving her a more respectable gift rather than splurging on dinner.

tl;dr: Got coupon for romantic restaurant for GF's birthday. GF unhappy, says "I'm high class," and I get pissed off. Breakup thoughts ensues.

This is correct. Your state issued marriage license signed by a judge or the clerk of court makes your marriage legal. After you get that you can get married by a dog dressed as a clown for all the state cares.

I dunno if I can understand the notion that using a sweet coupon to take someone somewhere nice is bad, but okay folks you do you. Like the good part of the dinner is spending time with someone you at least kinda don't hate in a nice place, not spending $250 on it.

Anyway, :sever: and end it, OP. This girl needs you to really invest in the dinner so you can later rationalize your decision as a good one.

Plot twist:

OP posted:

It's ridiculous how I say I'm unemployed means I don't have money and can't afford a 270 gift. It's just ridiculous how many people agree on this. You have no loving idea how much I can afford nor will I tell you how much is in my bank account. I'm simply explaining how I need to be more conscious about what I spend on, meaning, no fancy dinner at full price. But a respectably priced necklace is ok to me.

Again, why am I living off my girlfriend's good will because I don't have a job? Seriously, what the gently caress is this type of presumptuous (not presumptive, look up the difference in meaning) thinking? I don't mooch off anyone for gently caress's sake. I quit my job to prepare for a loftier goal, I'm studying at the moment. I'm not going to tell you how long I've been unemployed, gently caress you, I don't ever need to defend myself like that. I have a loving engineering degree from a top tier school and made sufficient money. Can't believe how many women, yes women, automatically thinks I'm some kind of bum. LOL.

OP posted:

man I don't know WHAT she thinks sometimes. Sometimes I do think she's one of those girls who thinks they are entitled to a good life by marrying a rich guy. Then again, sometimes I don't as she'll act virtuous and shun materialism.

Big picture wise, I don't think she thinks she's too good for me. Is she a bit spoiled and lack a certain degree of empathy? Maybe.

[Arizona] Police Withholding Public Records, Investigating Me and Family for Asking

quote:

My neighbors -- who live out of state most of the year -- have a 30-year-old son they leave behind by himself at their property next door to me. According to the father, the son has the mental acuity of a 12-year-old, and according to police, he's extremely mentally ill and often on a variety of drugs.

I recently decided to attempt to obtain an injunction against harassment against the 30-year-old, due to several incidents, including: Peering into my house from my front yard with a hammer in his hand, peering into my house at night with a flashlight, and accosting me and my girlfriend on separate occasions. We've called the police each of these times, and while they always claim no crime has been committed, I assumed that would help build a record showing we're legitimately afraid of being the victims of violence.
I sent a fairly broad records request, including a record of all calls to their address, any records relating to anyone in the house, video of my most recent interaction with police (the officer told me his body cam was on, and green light was blinking), and police responded a few weeks later that there were zero records related to my request.

Of course, I should mention, the 30-year-old's father is a retired cop, who was very close to the top of the food chain at a different, but still local law-enforcement agency. Most cops I've encountered are well aware of who he is.

A few days after the request, my neighbor started calling around asking about my request for records, so he was obviously warned. A member of my family was stopped on the street yesterday by an officer whom my family member has a professional relationship with, and he reported that he got call from a higher-up demanding what information he had about my family because someone at my house was "looking into stuff."

I've really just been blown away by the police department's behavior recently, and I don't know where to go from here. Do I need a private attorney to help obtain the records and stop harassment, or can my state AG's office do it? I'm just being harassed even more now, and I appreciate any guidance.

[Update] Police Withholding Public Records, Investigating Me and Family for Asking

quote:

I decided to try my request one more time, this time letting them know I'm well aware that several records exist, and cited the relevant statute found by /u/FishingForCars.

A. Any person who has requested to examine or copy public records pursuant to this article, and who has been denied access to or the right to copy such records, may appeal the denial through a special action in the superior court, pursuant to the rules of procedure for special actions against the officer or public body.

Lo and behold, they magically found $57.38 worth of records for me to pick up. Funny how that works.

I also included a note that police harassment would not be tolerated, and evidence of further investigation of my family for requesting records would be forwarded to federal investigators. I don't think that the fellow who decided to investigate me realized that I used to be a local reporter, and I would find that out . . .

Thanks for the advice, everyone who responded.

Meanwhile, on the crazy neighbor front, his dad came home a few days ago, so he's had a babysitter, and there's been nothing but peace and quiet over here.

I'm [23F] pulling my hair out over the fact that my bf [27M] is in trouble at work for acting aggressively and not watching his freakin mouth when speaking to coworkers. He wants me to hold him while he boohoos and I'm over it.

Basically my bf thinks of himself as a fighter for justice at his job and takes it upon himself to try to tackle any perceived injustice that's happening.

For instance: at some point a mix up had happened and he and a coworker weren't getting paid for sick days. He marched into his bosses office and raised his voice and demanded pay for both of them. Boss told him to watch his attitude but eventually both bf and other dude got their pay. Bf told the other guy but was never thanked. In fact, the other guy thanked God and went on with his day. I told him he needs to watch his mouth and using curses with his boss is immature. I also told him stop marching in there and demanding things for other people because none of your coworkers care about you, nor have they ever stuck their neck out for you. Theyre the smart ones!!

Another instance, bf was leaving work an hour early because he felt he completes his work early every day, and that he carries the brunt of the work (this not requested of him. He picks up other people's slack because HE WANTS TO) Boss called him out and once again they got into a heated verbal argument where they got into each other's face. Boss told him to stop and just let him know who isn't working but bf continued leaving early because he feels that's his right. Bf also told me he believes that arguing means his boss respects him and that he's "basically" second in command. Again, I told him watch your drat mouth, you're not second in command, and you are replaceable as an employee. Watch your footing because if you keep taking a mile when offered an inch you'll fall off the cliff. Again, nope, he respects me and knows that I help him run things. He wont get rid of me, he needs me. Bf left early EVERY DAY since that conversation.

ANOTHER instance, 3 fellow employees got in trouble for getting to work late the same day. It was a busy stressful day and their presence was sorely needed. They all trickled in with the latest being 20 minutes late due to the subway messing up. There's an employee-boss group chat where the boss chewed these three guys out and in the end wrote them all up. The boss also chewed out the rest of the employees and said that there was work that wasn't done and everyone needs to try harder.

Bf of course is horribly distressed that they got in trouble because it "was only 20 minutes!!" And he was personally offended by the boss saying work needs to be finished. (If the shoe fits, huh?) So bf matches into bosses office and demands that boss tells him what exactly was not finished. Like, get any paperwork or get online and show him whats not finished. He also told boss that he should've asked him if the guys were late enough to warrant being in trouble.

Aaaand they argued. And argued. Bf admitted that he was aggressive in speaking to boss and got in his face telling him that he didn't know how to run the place. Boss got in his face back and they were cursing at each other. Honestly, bf is very lucky his boss is a physically large gutsy guy and not easily frightened because if it was a different person with less patience I have no doubt that he would've been escorted off the premises.

So boss told him he'd "handle him later." Bf kind of laughed it off and said since he's in a union nothing is going to happen to him. I told him AGAIN that you need to stop this! You can't bark at your boss and speak to people like you're in a bar fight. You can't bully people into listening to you, you cannot forget that you are REPLACEABLE. Bf told him he'd standing up for what's right since boss was taking his frustration out on everyone. I told him STOP TRYING TO SPEAK FOR YOUR COWORKERS. NO ONE ELECTED YOU AS A SPOKESPERSON. And no one has defended bf because you go to work to get paid! Not skate on thin ice for some rear end in a top hat that yells at the boss!! Bf assured me that what's right is right and that the Charlottesville protesters were hurt for standing for what's right, and that this is similar. Basically he's a good person being punished for trying to do what's good.

Well, later came. 3 write ups at once for language + aggressiveness, leaving early, and disobedience, basically. 3 write ups means unpaid suspension, possibly termination in the worst instances.

NOW HE'S UPSET. I asked him how many times I've told him to mind his drat business and act like he's got some sense. Now he's weepy and scared. His schedule will also be changing to graveyard shifts when he gets back (so he'll never see the boss again, basically) instead of his 7am-3pm. He said theyre still deliberating on if he'll be kept at all but theyre changing things around for the time being. I'm pulling my hair out and part of me honestly wants to leave. This is so stupid. So many chances were given to him! What the hell!
I don't know what to do. He wants emotional support and cuddles and I can barely look at him right now. I've never felt so disgusted and unattracted to anyone the way I feel right now. What is the next step when you've been telling someone something they refused to listen to and now they want your help? I am so, so angry.

Tl;dr: bf acted like an rear end multiple times and finally got in trouble for it. What happens after "I told you so"? Am I really supposed to support him through this?

If it's a chain not all individual stores are on board with the coupon program. Also the reverse can happen where a local store might have a promotion but the national chain doesn't care about it and suddenly people are coming in with with a coupon that's only good for the Starbucks in Tulsa on third street. So customer argues with a manager until he breaks down and just honors the drat thing to get them out.

At least that's what I'd assume was happening.

The restaurant approved it, but the small print says it only works on alternate Wednesdays once per month, it doesn't cover entrees or alcohol, you need 4 people in your party, you have to spend $50 above the cost of the coupon, you have to tell them you have a coupon before you order, you name it, just a lot of unexpectedly weird and really restrictive small print. Or the restaurant stopped participating months ago (and btw restaurant.com won't refund you). You can look up reviews for the site and they're all pretty much like that.

I only suggest it because that's the only way I've heard of to get such big % coupons for restaurants.
