Continuing Apartment Issues

Jan 28, 2010 09:16

A few posts back, in the "Drowning in Shit Creek" entry, I talked about everything that had gone wrong for me at UNCC and how I owed back a thousand dollars for dropping too many classes. Well, no updates on that. In that same entry, I also talked about the situation with my apartment. I had moved out, but I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to ( Read more... )

This is completely fucked up. Two hundred dollars to make it more official? What kind of nutjob fucking meth heads run that place? You should take action and sue THEM and get all your money back plus eight times more so you could attend UNC Asheville and smoke all the weed you want. This makes me sick and depressed. I'm angry that this happened to you.

Don't feel sick and depressed. I'm not even sick and depressed about it.

Everything that's been happening to me seemed fucked up anyway. Having written it down and reading it back, it seems even more fucked up. It's like, how are the fuck are these people still in business?

Whoever wrote up their lease and terms of agreement knew what they were doing, though. I've read every single word of it many times, and the apartment complex does a good job of covering their ass for just about every possible scenario.

I wish I could sue them. Hell, I'd like to sue the fucking university also. I actually looked into suing them over the t-shirt incident I talked about before. I despise that entire fucking area now. I often fantasize about all of it just blowing to smithereens. (Watch it actually happen now, and the FBI find this comment. LOL. Just kidding, guys!)

BTW, did you hear that JD Salinger passed away yesterday?

LOL. That's 'cause I had a semi-boner at the time.

Since I'm back at my parents' house, that means dial-up, which means no more videos. I've gotta go back to beating it to .JPEGs and .BMPs. This morning (or yesterday morning, technically), I was multi-tasking while writing that entry, trying to build back up my collection. I had multiple windows up, browsing porn, trying to find some goodies. I'd work on my entry while allowing the pictures time to load.

LOL, thanks for this story.

They don't have a case though, end of story. if they raise a shit I'll unofficially provide you legal advice

Wow. You actually have time to still visit LiveJournal?

lukertin January 29 2010, 09:43:51 UTC

I have time to do lots of shit.

Whether I am prudently spending that time is another matter.

Law school can wait. The internet calls!

I now realize that the whole goddamn apartment complex is a fucking scam, stealing and taking advantage of young naíve college students. If only I'd known that a year ago when I signed the lease!Lol. Welcome to adulthood? In my more cynical moments, I tend to think that everything in life is structured to take advantage of the less wary. You have to make a fuss and throw a fit in order not to get screwed over. But I get too easily annoyed by hassles and the people they come with. In the end, I just throw my hands up and yell, "Fine! I surrender! Take my money! Just leave me alone already!" It's highway robbery, I tell you, except instead of guns, they have like... pointy sticks that they poke you with until you give up ( ... )

You cannot be imprisoned for debt in this country. First and foremost reason being it's not a crime...

His credit score isn't going to go down;--he can just file a complaint with the credit bureaus if shit hits the fan, and lastly, like I said before, they don't have a case. Suing Forrest in this situation would basically be them admitting that they are fucking retards.

Also (while I'm not totally sure on this) if one gets judgment against him, it's a lump sum payment. If defendant gets a $5k judgment but defendant can't pay b/c he has no liquid assets, his illiquid assets are seized and auctioned off to pay the judgment. Garnishing paychecks as part of a court order is generally restricted to child support, shit like alimony barely even exists anymore, so there's that.

lol you're so easy to part with your money? :p So far I've used my finagling skills to get out of paying a 150 dollar phone bill. In fact, I managed to convince them that they OWED me money, so they sent me a check for 25 bucks

2ndhandsunshine January 29 2010, 18:35:12 UTC

Well, that was assuming he didn't do anything except not pay... though by the sound of it, they might be too lazy to report him to the credit bureau anyway. When you're right, you're right though... except what happens if you have no illiquid assets to speak of either?

I am. My little brother got me to give him $25 once because he asked me in the early morning and I wanted him to go away so I could go back to sleep. Oh, wise master, teach me the better way.

What happens if you have no illiquid assets? Plaintiff is left sucking a dry turnip
