[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and why wasn't that good enough? Because you've come here and you're suing for $18.50 more. You're suing for the $300 that he charged you, but you're also suing for another $18.50 to replace half of the roof. Why? Why didn't the patch job work? Because it should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now she calls 3-1-1 and at some point they come over and they inspect the hotness or lack thereof of the water. Right, correct. Right. And they find you. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she's taking you to court. Magically, 3-1-1 now has to be involved in everything as soon as she took you to court for non-payment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2335 for lost wages for four catering events. But I had to cancel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's in a lot of places. It's not just behind the couch, it's all over the place. I am awarding you the $300 for the patch and the, and the bring down. I am awarding you the $1800.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the floor. That is a total of $2,100. That is what I am awarding you. Okay? On her counterclaim against you for lost wages and harassment, that's zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas. Susan King? Yes. You are suing Island Auto Sales, represented here by Alfred Del Greco? Yes. Are you the owner?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so at some point you end up deciding that you don't want the car. This is the PT Cruiser. So you bring it in to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the two of you negotiate that, uh, you would take a different car, correct? Yes. What car did you end up with? A Ford Escape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and then how did the Ford Escape work out for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are all those things wrong with it when you're picking it up? Why do you pick it up then? Why don't you leave it there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he give an estimate? No. No? What did he say was wrong with it? Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, so what does it cost to fix? Because if there's a, if, see, if you buy a car and there's something wrong with it and you feel that that's something they have to pay for, then it's, how do we repair the car? That's the measure of damages, not, I wanna, I, I, I'm giving you your car back, take it back, I've driven it for how many months?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when you say, I had to send a guy out there, that's your obligation under the warranty, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are unhappy with the Ford Escape, correct? Yea. What's wrong with the Ford Escape?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he says, it's not my problem, it's not under warranty. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I would suggest very strongly that you do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because uhm, I can't force him to take back the car in a situation like this. I can't order him to refund the money. You follow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Alright, so on your lawsuit against him, I am ruling in his favor. Uhm, and if I were you, I wouldn't leave the building without making an appointment to bring the car back. Okay. Good luck. And welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where were you living at that time? I was currently actually living there. I was attending school at the University of Pennsylvania. My daughters were still living in the household attending school. So I was back and forth into the city, coming back home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back and forth into what city? Because I was going into Philadelphia to attend the college and I would come back into Jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have two children? Yes, Your Honor. How old are the children? Six and twelve, Your Honor. Okay, and are they both his? No, Your Honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, my music equipment that I use to do my shows and productions. What kind of shows and productions? I'm a singer, songwriter, entertainer, which...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He helped me to produce a CD and he invested money into my career during the relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it's good, I was with her for 38 years, but when she did that, I had to just, I don't know what's going on with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you say what and she did that, did what? When she kept him in the house knowing I had a full restraining order and she's my mother, I would have thought that she would let him go. Alright, who went over to that house and took the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, the keyboard was purchased about almost 10, 11 years ago. How long were you together?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He used it, and sometimes he used my phones as well. Okay, but you never used that phone, so why did you take it? Because I needed it for a SIM card to keep my phone on. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he stopped giving me money to take care of my kids and he was taking care of me for all of them years. And we used each other's phones like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about the wireless speaker system that he's talking about? I used that. He bought that for me. When we got together, he took me there. He says, I want to buy you this Bose system for you to rehearse for, uh, your music. And, um, he invested in my music career and he made it seem to me that that was a part of he was giving it to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first court we went to was family court when I got the restraining order, Your Honor. No, I'm talking about with the kids in custody and all that. They did everything in, at the court. Oh, they did do it? Yes. I have full custody, Your Honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only with the third party, which I don't have yet. Cause the, the judge said whenever I feel comfortable,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of the fact that my mother would have to be the middle man and me and her are not on the best of terms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have your own laptop? Would you use your own laptop computer? I have to use a laptop for school, but my school provides the desktop computer at the office. My daughters use that computer. Are you still in school now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Anthony Kumia from the Opie and Anthony show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some are guests of, of my place, some are friends, some are acquaintances, some are people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't tell me anything, they send me links to, uh, screen grabs of things that Jokumia has said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decide I don't want them in my club. Let me look at this contract more closely and see if there's anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I owed the man a conversation as opposed to just, uhm, sending something in the mail. Uhm, I thought our report-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I thought our rapport over the phone, uh, was good. I, I, you know, I liked them when we first spoke and musically I think that their band is great but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know the context of it. Do you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't bought stamps since online banking started, so, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and then what happens? On the second part of that same note, he said check, uh, radiator hoses on bottom. That's his handwriting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he brought his own ride. He told me to change the starter because he was having problems with the starter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first time I put the fuel pump in, he drove away with it. Okay. You'll see, it's on the receipt where he paid for it and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then what I do is if they do the job with me, I waive the diagnosis. Okay. I don't waive the diagnosis upfront. Okay. Cause everybody will come for free diagnosis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's his steering column that the admissions guy told him he needed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff prevails. He doesn't get nearly what he was seeking. You know, your collar's been turned up the whole case. That's a little bit better. Uhm, what's your reaction to the outcome of this? This is some hell of a dispute you've got going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I did want to ask you one thing. You're studying pharmacology and music. That's kind of an interesting combination. Are you going to be a pharmacist if the music doesn't work out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, thank you. Case is over. You must sign some documents out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the real thing here is the relationship in this family and the kids and everything else. You know, the judge wants you to do what you can to fight for your kids. Yes. Are you, are you doing that? I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's life. It's life. It's life, yes. I guess that's a good way to put it. Yes. I'm sorry about it, but thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Okay? That's a judge's verdict. You're going to have to live with it. Harvey, tragic case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sucks. Well, you don't get the money. But he did offer to fix the car. Will you take it back to him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well listen, congratulations. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Alrighty, thank you. Thank you, sir. Harvey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely not. Why? Well for a couple of reasons. Give me the best one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best reason is that if anything ever happens, uhm, uh, there's no license with the contractor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charles Timmons, uh, department that he was renting out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yes, I did, because I was trying to help things along, so I did get some estimates from Home Depot. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I delivered the PT Cruiser to her. The car only had 65,000 miles on it. She drove for a couple of days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She got locked out of the car, we come out, I sent somebody out to Eastport, an hour and a half round trip. I had to pay the mechanic to go out there, get her into the car, tell her bring her back, we'll take care of it, whatever it is, which we did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I offered, and she signed a release saying that she didn't want a warranty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I offered to several times. I told her bring it back. She complained about the breaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, we did everything we could, bent over backwards for, I loaned her a car. And, well, all this was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the plaintiff prevails for the full amount, the $624. Laura, you mentioned that this really cropped up because you said you weren't acting the way you think she wanted you to act. What did you mean by that? You never explained it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The judge says you are worth the money. Yeaah, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the defendant has flown the coop. He did not want to talk. That's okay with me. The plaintiff is on her way out of the courtroom. Well, you're getting $2,300, a little bit more than that, and you may get more if you can provide more evidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I mean obviously it was a very traumatic experience for you. I'm scared to walk my dog. I don't blame you. And I wouldn't do it either if I were you. Not in that area. And you think the pit bull is still there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw it the other day. Alright, well good luck to you. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. You must sign a few documents. Harvey, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in this case, I think both parties obviously learned something here in court today. You learned a little bit maybe about how to interpret a lease. The judge said you couldn't interpret your way out of a paper bag, you know, at one point she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, but you got a big zero in court today. Okay, I hope you did learn something. Thank you very much. You will sign a few documents. Herbert and Linda, who are the defendants, they're on their way out of the courtroom. They were suing for $3300. You got a smoke detector. Congratulations. Do you feel good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had got a car and uh, he was working on somebody's street, I mean down the street from my other house. And I had called Joe up and he told me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or Joe, him and his partners came down and they did the work and they dug, but they dug the wrong hole, your honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They dug the wrong hole right here. They got a hole going straight through my garden and right in front of the house they had opened a cement patch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a water bottle that's in the grass and a water bottle that's on the, um, on the payment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, he supposed to dig towards that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, right here, he does from here, straight out, right here, and it's the whole step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before that happened, once he found out he dug this long, he went and put the key in this and turned it on. Now the problem I had, the problem I have is why he still dug it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, your honor. From when to when? No, it came to eight to close to twelve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not tell him nothing about no pipes. I don't know nothing about that stuff. I just know I wasn't getting no pressure and I wanted brand new pipes. That was it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I asked him to put brand new pipes in there, your honor. He's supposed to take them pipes out. What he doing down there? How long he was doing down there? He went, he went and cut a whole hole out that didn't have nothing to do with it. And then went and hit him, then put the key in it, turned it on. This is before he dug it. This is before he dug it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it had a hole in it. You stick a key. I don't have a key, man. I don't have a key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm saying he didn't have to destroy it because when I was out there, I seen him turn and once they found where the other hole was at, he knew that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's not on the concrete. The one that's disposed, it's got the dirt over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what I feel is, he's supposed to do what I told him to do. I paid him $1500 already. You know what I mean? How you stop on the job, you know, he just stopped on the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, hey, he's saying a short way how to get all my money. Simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well, everybody's different. Somebody can be corrupt in a position. It's up to the person. I don't see the position necessarily corrupting. No judgment here, but you kinda look like a contractor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was shopping for a car, stopped in the grocery store, and I saw one of those free auto magazines, and I saw something in there, it was an SUV, and I said, perfect, $3300, $300 down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I called and how soon can you come down? I said Monday morning, fine, the car will be serviced and you can come there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went down there, uh, Monday morning, uhm, on the bus. It took me an hour to get there, but I got there. I was so excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked in, here's my paperwork, and the first thing out of their mouth was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you have the money. I said, yes, but where's the car? I like to see it, test drive it. Oh, uhm, here, hold on. Let us make copies of this. Uhm, you have the check? I said, well, where's the SUV? They sold it over the weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was a bait and switch. They got me there. All they wanted was the money. They said, hold on a second. We have other vehicles. Look out back. You'll find something you might like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said, oh, but we have to charge you $5900 if you want us to finance it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I said, well, I don't have that type of money on me, uhm, give me a cup, uh, one or two weeks, let me gather up the money, borrow from friends. And did you? Which I did. And then you brought them a thousand dollars? Certified check from my credit union.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, the paperwork for the car on the contract was all digital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the bank called me, the financial institution, do you have possession of the car? I said no. They said why not? I said well because the dealership informed me that she's waiting for her commission piece first. Then she released the car to me. So they said well this is not how we do things here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She never turned the car over to me. I never had possession. She never called me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called down there and I asked, am I getting a car today or not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When, when I called, I just never got the impression the car was ready to picked up. Uhm, when the bank called me, uhm, the car is still in her possession and she said she wouldn't release it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when I went test driving the car with another guy that claimed he worked there as a mechanic, the brake pedal and the brakes went to the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said he will, uh, repair all that before I pick up the car. And I said, great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this was my first time trying to buy a car on my own. So I learned a valuable lesson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Douglas. Shanika Shepherd? Yes. You are suing Barrington Kelly, your landlord of many, many years ago, for $4,575? Yes, Sharma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For money you say that was inappropriately taken out of your account, harassment, and a bedroom set you left behind 13 years ago that you'd like to collect on. Now tell me what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talks about money that was taken out of an account of yours when? In 2009?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he didn't physically go into your bank, stick his money in a jar and take your money. No, he didn't do that. He showed the bank a judgment that a judge gave him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There shouldn't be a judgment against you. You didn't do that. No, I did not at the time. Exactly. No, I didn't. And then, let's see, in 2015, you were able to take $75, sir, Mr. Kelly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I'm, let's see, legal document fee $75. That's your bank charging you $75, so that's taken care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And where's the 1500 that was taken out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You literally have come with some bank records that show that twice someone is chasing you for money. Doesn't show Mr. Kelly, people of the state of New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they sent you this and what did you do? Use it as a doily for your beard? You got a letter from an attorney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the bank must have, did you, have you checked with them to see if they collected anything? Cause you say, you don't have proof of it, but you say they collected fifteen hundred, right? Yes, from HSBC. Well that should go to you. Will you call those judgment people? Because they may have some of your money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Okie dokie. What's a harassment though? Wait, $425 for harassment? What's that for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this could go on for years. Hmm. Let's have it go on for years. Alright, Mr. Kelly, I'm going to, uhm, first of all, and you lost it against him, zero, okay? Because he had a valid court judgment, and that's what happens with a valid court judgment. They get to chase your bank accounts. He did not. You should stop talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you, here's what she did, which is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Set aside back in June of 16, June of 2016, is that what you're saying here? Yes, Your Honor. Okay, so what you may want to do, give him a copy of this and you may want to go back to court again and get it reinstated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so what she did was she, I guess she sent it to her, the last note. What part, let me ask you a question. Do you hear words coming out of my mouth? Why do you keep screaming while I'm talking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone filed a motion to set aside a judgment that was 11 years old in front of me, they would never get the time of day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says a judge gave her the time of day. And I don't know if it's true or not true. Uhm, but I'm gonna give you a copy of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, okay. But, so if you want to go back and move this aside, now you can because you have the evidence of it. Yes ma'am. Okay? Uhm, so, no, so take uhm, a photocopy of it and give it to him and then you can return that document to the nasty-mouthed woman that I just made leave my courtroom. Good luck to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas. Teresa Brooks, you are suing Jelani Gardner for $10,000 that you say he owes you in expenses as well as stress and aggravation because he won't pay you money you say he owes you. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And according to you how does it happen that the van ends up being put on her credit card? This isn't her program. How did that happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, how much are you out as a result of this debacle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, now these are your friends, your business deal with your program. You were supposed to get paid back? Yes ma'am. And did you? No. Okay, which brings us here. You're also suing for gas, parking, and photo books. Were you supposed to be reimbursed for the photo books or is that something you were doing because you're a sweetheart?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would be reimbursed. Alright, so uhm, Mr. Gardner tell me, uhm, why am I here? Because it sounds to me like this is a you problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] who had the program who should eat the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she offers to go, so maybe the way to look at this from an, you know, the judge's perspective is she could collect against that guy and she could collect against you. Because it's all done on behalf of your program and you're standing there. It's not like it's done behind your back. It's all happening right in front of you, part and parcel with your discussions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just, who signed the contract with the rental company? I am asking that question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that you are saying would give her the right to sue Mark as well. That's what it does for me. That's what she should be suing. Yeah, except for that we both know that's not gonna happen. So the question only remains, is it so divorced from you that somehow you would not be responsible for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When your contract calls for you to collect this from them because that's the contract that you drafted with your French counterparts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas. Uh, Yolana Applebaum, you are suing the Defendants Company. You've asked us not to mention the name of the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it you do to your vehicles that makes them show worthy as, no offense, a Honda pilot? It's the lights, it's the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Does your bumper sticker say boss bitch? Yes it does. Can I have one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much were you paying for this job? It was 200. How much have you paid in the past to have this job done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but this isn't under. This is showing. Hold on one second. This is showing. It's not under. The tape is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, cause uhm, this person taking the picture is sitting down in the driver's seat taking a picture. Because that, those are the pedals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need you to stop with the bobbleheading, it's annoying. Did you remove the tape?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much for actual lights? Uhm, they will, uhm, I paid for most of the lights except two rolls. No, I'm not talking about, did he provide any lights? Just two rolls. Okay, is that accurate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, how on earth could you have four rolls at $75 a piece that you provided, which would be $300 for a $200 job?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it makes me think that you are either too stupid to do the job or a liar when you're testifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, no, no. Okay, so that's the answer. Your answer is that she was supposed to pay more than 200. Yes, ma'am. Oh, okay. How much is the job for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a receipt from your company for $200 for LED installation, tint front window, shade tint, wash, motor wash. How did this get written?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's on you. That's not, uhm, you know. Alright, and now let me try to understand your lawsuit. You don't just want the 200 you paid him back. You want that back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you get your money back for what they did, then you are made whole. Court, which is supposed to be about making you whole when someone has hurt you, becomes ching ching, let the cash register ring. And it's a big old bonanza for you. Why would I allow that? You understand what I'm saying? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Okay, now let's talk about your counterclaim. $2,500 on your counterclaim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't think you would. On your lawsuit against her, zero. And on her lawsuit against you, what I'm gonna order is the return of the $200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you see the comfort of this? Let against have been sworn your honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that day I went to her house, uh, to talk with her because this gentleman didn't want to pay me. I worked since, uhm, Tuesday to Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and uh, I call him, I call the guy who take me there because he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, because, uh, he told me that she, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, right now, no, but I did the backsplash. You did do the backsplash?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court, Harvey Levin here. So how long do people generally wait once they know they're gonna leave somebody before they pull the trigger and do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court next case. In the dock, the plaintiff hired the defendant to install a water filtration system, and it reeked of sulfur. But the defendant says the heater is the culprit. It's the case of Heater. He hardly knew her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So could you tolerate a water filtration system in your home that had a smell of sulfur?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One more question. What's worse, sulfur or farts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Doug, I was gonna talk about expert testimony, but I have one other question. You said that if it's farts or sulfur, worse is sulfur, right? Yeah. Are you talking about your fart or somebody else's fart?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I slam into your car and, uhm, and I do the damage, I do the damage and I'm responsible, can I make you go to my guy, my auto repair shop? No way. What if I can prove my guy is decent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No or maybe? Uh, what do you say? I say no. I go to my guy. Because you hit me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evidence is king, Doug, for sure. You have an absolute right to pick the auto repair shop you go to if somebody hits you and the only limitation is the cost has to be reasonable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, sorry about that. No problem. You must sign a few documents. Ms. Gale, you learned something out of this as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much. You must sign some documents, okay? Take care of you. Alright, Mr. Kernan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the plaintiff fails to prove her case, Ms. Young, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's one way. Every time the judge asks you for something, you are having really trouble coming up with it. So, anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have to show up in court next time, get a little better prepared. Thank you. Okay. But anyway, thank you very much. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the water was treated then, there was an aeration tank, which the water came from, from the well pump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And then it was pumped, there was another more pump and another expansion tank and then it would come into the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you got these tanks outside and this is a much smaller thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had the unit put in. After about three weeks, I started to get the odor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I talked to Don and the hot water heater that was at the house that I bought was seven years old. It's not really as close to his life expectancy anyway, so I replaced it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then put the top part back in so, you know, it's like a plug at this point on the top of the hot water heater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I did that. Each time I go through this operation, I drain the tank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my situation, I'm there alone. So I may be running 10, 15 gallons of hot water out of it a day. If I'm even at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm finding is if the water sits in that tank and stays in there for a while, it regenerates the hydrogen sulfide odor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also says on here, for total soft condition water solution, team up with the water shield sulfur block system and the water shield water conditioning system and get great soft odor free water today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was interesting, but what I was told, you know, you have the pamphlet which says to get me out of free water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, whoever had the shopping cart, they are at fault. If the shopping cart hits my car, you are at fault and I want you to pay for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the plaintiff couldn't prove her king. Miss Sanders, I gotta give it to you. You did your best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well good for you. Thank you very much. You must sign some documents out there. Alright. You guys don't live near each other now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here comes the defendant Patrick. So what do you think about what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff is finally gonna get his $4,666 back. Stephanie, if you'll step over here, this does not look good for you. This is a bad day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, obviously you did. Sorry about that. Alright, Mr. Sutton, if you'll step out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much. Congratulations. You finally get your money back. Harvey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we were there with an entire family. We're actually, we've been spending the past year going through grandmom and grandpop's things and taking our time, all the photos, all the history. So we've been there 17 times in the past 12 months. We've flown from Florida and spent a great deal of time there and we'd actually called numerous times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we wanted to request them doing additional things like picking up the sticks out of the yard instead of cutting the grass around the sticks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when we were there in July and August and we'd been there for three weeks, for the second three week trip that we had taken and not seen anyone, we canceled the services after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Typed one up, but I didn't want to be dishonest and not bring the actual letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first couple pictures you'll see were the last two weeks in July, and then there's pictures from the first two weeks, or the first week in August when we were there, and there's no difference in the grass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he had stated to my husband that he was cutting our yard every five days. Five to six days. And that's why we would get charged five times in a four week month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're on the desktop and you can see the dates per picture on the desktop as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we wanted things done because when we'd go to visit we would notice that the yard was being cut around


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and then when I contacted him again in June and left messages saying, you know, hey, I've been here and I haven't seen you guys and my husband wants to make sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when we went back in July and August when we were there with our family for three weeks, it was at that point that my husband called and he canceled the services. I also called and canceled and said I'm gonna send a letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're in a process of 12 months of going through 17 times flying back and forth from Florida to New Jersey trying to go through our family's entire life history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so on July, uhm, 5th, 2016, I had an incident with another female and I ended up going to jail. Uhm, the police, they rolled up on me. I had my newborn son with me. Cameos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. So my neighbor, she was, um, outside when the police rolled up on me and, uh, the defendant, uh, so when they rolled up on me, the defendant and the neighbor came up and they was like, what's going on? So I told my neighbor to take my bank card, my baby and my car keys, go to the bank and they'll get 700 and come out and bail me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, after she signs, she comes out, and she gives me the two, uh, bell thingies. And I know, of course, this is a mean actor. You can give me this, but as long as you sign, it's gonna come to you. So anyhow, I want- I've been going for a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I end up, uh, it end up being good on my part because the person was lying on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, she could and I have a recorder of the bell, the bell is saying that she released it to her and I had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me to find out. Oh well, I just thought it'd be interesting. It's an interesting name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three witnesses accuse you of the one who went through the red light. How do you respond to that? How do you feel about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said you didn't. They all say you did. You're guilty, you know? You still deny that? Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you got a payer. Okay. Thank you very much. Wrong way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Dance your way out. Alright, here comes Ms. Hamilton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're not dating, are you dating? No, no. That's what I mean. Yeah, I'm saying don't tell anyone. Alright, you were gonna date, then no, now it's over. Alright, goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well good luck in the future, okay? I think you learned something here. Oh yeaah. You tried. Mr. Aiello?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I know, I know. We all love our dogs. Yeah, we all do. Especially mine. Okay, good enough. Alright, we understand. Thank you so much, okay? Thank you. You're welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So based on what the defendant put in that text, the judge finds you're going to have to give them a thousand dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well sorry, you gotta give him a thousand dollars. You're gonna have to live up to what you said. Alright, thank you very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty patient. Yeah. Well, you get your thousand dollars. You okay? I'm good. Alright, good enough. You must sign a few documents. Thank you very much. Harvey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think the main thing was his CDL license. He had it for over 10 years. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also have pictures of the oil leak that she had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could clearly see it started turning into corrosion. Rust. Which, yes, which means that's been there for a while. That did not just happen during the accident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the racquet pinion, so as you can see underneath the racquet pinion, that is the oil leak and it's turning into corrosion. And that's another oil leak that she had on the vehicle as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I have also text messages to prove that they turned down the money that we was going to give them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says that we offered them $2,000, but they believe that the car is worth more than that. So they would rather just get the car repaired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we agreed to pay half, which also stays in the text messages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was forced to pay half of her pay and she didn't want to come to Queens to pay it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We offered her rental to get around, she also refused that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On March 4th, my uncle entered the hospital and through several operations in hospitalizations, rehab, uh, and he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries on the 20, on the, sorry, 31st of May.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at that time, uhm, on the second, sorry, on the first of June, uh, Social Security and pension money was put in to his account, and on the second, Edward, with my knowledge, removed-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to myself and my cousin, and I have a copy of the will if you want. Who was his other niece? That's correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the estate, through the life insurance policies, the estate was, uh, got 25,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, when I went over all the boxes that were in the quote garage, uh, I found a lot of missing items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there was a painter involved that was going to be painting the condo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, the painter had already done several, uh, pieces of work in the condo. He had painted the ceilings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my uncle had never had this place painted. So the painter has his own access and Edward had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they started to disappear probably about the third week in June.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not there to, I mean, I guess I was going on blind faith that these-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I have a couple pictures of my uncle's place that he took back in, uh, the end of, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 13, 2013 and he was concerned about things, uh, being removed from the house after his death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have- That was four years before his death. That is correct. And he took pictures because he was concerned what people might come in- Okay, can I- I'm asking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I went through, from the pictures that I have, this is a list of missing items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the pictures and what, I mean I was up there so often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well then why'd you sue for it? I haven't, I thought I had that starred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went over the boxes that were there, what I could see, and what didn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you coach your daughter once more, I'm going to remove you from the room. You just told her to say yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are going to have to exercise self-control or I'm going to remove you if you coach her one more time. Do we understand each other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ms. Barbosa, you are suing Natural Beauty Salon, represented here by Min Nguyen and Con Nguyen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, for $9,932 that you want, uh, paid to you because they injured you during a manicure. Yes. What happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are gel enhancement nails? Fake nails? Yes, fake nails. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where was this picture taken?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where does this say gel enhancement nails? No, that says gel pedicure and gel manicure. A gel manicure is a certain type of polish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did you want to have done when you walked in? Just, uhm, fake nails. Nail extensions. Fake nails. Yes. Alright, and then the fake nails go on your nail. Yes. And then what else happens? Is there a polish that goes on that or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you coach your daughter once more, I'm going to remove you from the room. You just told her to say yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are going to have to exercise self-control or I'm going to remove you if you coach her one more time. Do we understand each other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need an audible answer, I'll ask you out now. Oh, sure. Okay, good. Alright. What happened while you, while they were doing your manicure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you bring nail polish today if you want to show me something on your nail because, you know, as I look at it I have no idea if this is a bad...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's, that's your cut. And you took this one when? Uh, two, three days later. So tell me, uh, did you mention anything to them when they cut you? Like did you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On my date there was a lady customer who came to the natural beauty salon with her daughter requesting to have a manicure gel for her daughter, then change her mind, requested to have fake nails done also. In the process of working on the fake nails her pinky got a minor scratch. Is it your pinky?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, got a minor scratch, so I immediately applied the solution. Did they do that? Did they put that little stick uhm, to avoid infection, continue working on her nails? She was quite satisfied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're waiting for the pictures and then, uhm, I'm gonna need to understand


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to know who wants to testify about it, cause I don't want, if your mom told you you should do that, I'm gonna ask your mom. If you feel that you want to answer, you can answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She doesn't answer them. Ah, then that's not proof that she said, I can't, I have a hang now. Or, you know, I cut, I gotta cut an amount. That's not proof that she missed nine hun- nine thousand nine hundred dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She should get her money back. Alright, and somebody should pay attention to her and try to take her name off. Alright, that's my verdict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And what would taking care of her home entail?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see the petition that you filed in order to get a judge to give you the restraining order. And what happened? Please. I don't have that. The petition? Do you have the petition?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you tell me what happens? If police come to your house to serve the restraining order and tell me what happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you hire a lawyer? No. Okay, and so both of you testify, I presume, at the hearing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was only, he was only with the keys to my house. I'm holding him responsible for damages to my house. What judge, in their right mind, signed this restraining order?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I expected to look at the petition and see he told me he'd kill me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he pointed his gun at me. Stuff that she didn't say in the answers to the complaint. But when I look at the petition, she says exactly what she thinks. You see what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, what happens here? Lady, can I just tell you something? I don't even have sympathy for you. I don't. Okay? You have zero evidence that he did any of these things. You do not know what a hurricane is. You don't know what a hurricane is. A hurricane blows. I know I need you to stop talking and listen. I would never have signed this petition. Put the pause button on you. I would never have signed this petition. Okay? Ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm sure your lawyer told you that your lawyer was stunned that this was signed. So all of the trouble that you went through is because we are all citizens of the same state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I, it, it, it, it slays me that there's weapon confiscation in your house and not weapon confiscation at the house of the shooter in Parkland. Just slays me. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Martin Asasui, you are suing Justin's Towing and Storage Incorporated, represented here by Justin Graves, you're the owner, for $3,150.66 for reimbursement of your tow, your Uber and damages to your car and lost wages. Tell me what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and uh, I would like to, number one, see your sticker and number two, see the paperwork that links your cab to that sticker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sticker number or parking permit number, uhm, or anything else, it's just so weird, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do see that you're being billed, I mean I see that, that bill is under your name, but it's a cab that was getting parked there, and you're being billed for parking for one. So your wife has a car, I presume that between the cab and the car, the car has a space there, and who's the tow-er? You?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do you think could have happened? You have a theory about, about this, right? First of all, were those pictures taken on your lot or you can't tell it's too close up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is, uhm, the bill for your wife's parking space?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have a statement from the building saying that that cab has a valid parking space there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't go to the building and find it, did you? Cause I can call them, this isn't hard for me, I can just get off the bench a second, call them and find out if it's your wife's car or your car that has a parking space there. You want me to do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to do that, you can do. So your wife parks on the street, but the cab parks in the parking space, and you only have one parking space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only one. Alright, uhm, now according to, were you both there when the car got towed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a scratch here and a scratch there. You know, the kind of thing that you look for when someone's parking and uhm, you know, maybe they hit, they hit this there and then a different time they hit that there and a different time they hit this there. Are you sure you're not just trying to cash in on this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't even. You have one car on the parking contract, so exactly what you did is exactly what he thought you might have done, which is bring the parking pass with you that belongs to another car, stick it on there, and take framed pictures. That is what happened. Verdict for the defendants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, after a good bit of testimony, the plaintiff is going to get the $200 that she is seeking to repair the damage to her building and her fence. Mr. Verogio, step over here. Uh, so, you got, you got hooked for the $200. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in this dispute between neighbors who've been neighbors for years and years and years, it's a nothing nothing time, Mr. Morse. Yes. You know, I feel sorry for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You live right next door to her, but you know the key problem here, nobody had a survey. The judge's hands were tied. I guess so. And you could have gotten a survey, you know. Just forget it. Not worth it. Just forget it? Not worth it. Do you think she'll forget it? Uh, don't care. You don't care?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing's gonna happen? You just won't speak to each other? We're not speaking now. Alright, so bar, sorry about that. You must sign a few documents on your way out of the courtroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I've known Ms. Davis for approximately three years. Uh, we live in a retirement community. Where is this? In Clearwater, Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She hired me to take care of her home during the uh, during the summer months when she was away because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, two years. I took care of her home two summers while she was gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, keeping the weeds out, uh, trimming palm fronds, uh, if she called and had any special requests, I would handle that. And, uh, we had, uh, she was away for the summer and we experienced Hurricane Irma. Irma came through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, after the storm I called her and told her that there had been damage to her house. Uh, she called someone and had it fixed because it had been repaired after a couple of days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, so then on, uh, that was back in September. She called me on October the 19th, tell me that she was returning to Florida for the winter. Uh, same day on the 19th, my daughter called me and told me that my son was sick and was in the hospital. So, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, the, I went over and took care of the items that she asked me to take care of. She, uh, I got another call from my daughter. My son's situation was serious and it was suggested that I go to Atlanta immediately. So I headed up that way. Ms. Davis, uh, had come home and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Telling me that I was an idiot, uh, hillbilly with some certain explicatives before that and, uh, I wasn't really in much of the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's uh, and when I arrived home, there were voice messages on my machine. Ms. Davis had left, uh, several messages on my machine. She had called me all kinds of file names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They came at 6.50 in the morning, they, uh, woke us up, uh, they, they asked if I had any weapons, and I said yes, and I have, I'm an avid outdoorsman, I am a hunter, I have 15, uh, rifles, a, a few handguns. Quite a few.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I asked him about uhm, how to regain my $750 and he said to handle it in small claims court. So that's what I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came down October 20th. I saw it. I called him. You saw what? I still don't know what it is. I saw all the damage. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How old are those tiles? I really couldn't tell you. I bought the house three years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no damage at the time, just limbs down, we were spared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So on the second, it was Monday, April, April 2nd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have a parking, uh, spot that is allocated to me from my complex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I came back from work, I parked my car in my parking spot. In the middle of the night, he came, took my car to their storage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can still see, you can see in a distance I took that picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was his own storage facility where he towed the car to. You can see the sticker, though it was a lot of rain, but you can see from outside. That is the only sticker they gave me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the little sticker you just hanged right there. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not really happy with the verdict, to be honest. Oh, I'm sure you're not, because you lost. Because, because, because if somebody does damage, he has to pay. Yea, but the judge thinks you lied to her. I didn't lie. It's just the tag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if a gas pedal gets stuck, are you responsible if you hit another car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, here's the pisser. He's right. Uhm, it is the defendant's job to prove that it was a mechanical problem. The defendant couldn't prove it, and that's why the defendant loses the case. Don't text and drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so at the time, uh, I had a lot of auto payments coming out, child support and other, other monthly things that were coming out. I tried to have her removed from the account. She tried to have herself removed from the account. They said we couldn't because of the auto, the auto payments that were coming out that were legitimate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was in the end of the summer of 2016.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, the rest of them stopped. They all stopped except for that one. And I didn't catch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the account was overdrafted as a result of this autodraft coming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have, I do have the transactions from her credit card company and I have the, uhm, the disputed charges. Okay, what happened here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Your Honor, when we lived together, we had life shared expenses, whether it was business trips to work, my car so I could get to work, or the pool that I helped pay for in her backyard, or the new water heater that I paid for, or the finishing the basement that I paid for while we were living together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She doesn't have, she has no loss. She didn't lose anything. She was reimbursed by the insurance company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, it was around February 13th when I first, uhm, I was looking for a vehicle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I came across this ad on Craigslist. Uhm, it stated that it was a 2004 Saturn ion, very low miles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were willing to work with, like, uh, prices and stuff like that. So I contacted his wife because I was obviously, like, very intrigued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in cash. Did you get a receipt? Uhm, I had a written agreement, but uhm, I had a copy, he as well had a copy, but when, later on when he actually got the car back, it was in the car when he took it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we were there for maybe 25 minutes, half hour, got a quick bite and we tried to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I believe it was about the 24th, I would say. Of what? Of February.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and did you text it? Email it? What'd you do? No, I, he actually came to my house, pounding on my door, looking for me. So that's when I brought it to his attention. I said, hey, now I have these repairs to take care of and I have to somehow make, I don't make that much money. So I had the repairs to take care of. Then save money and don't buy a car yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not from my mechanic in itself, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I guess that's what she says. I don't think this was really, I think he fabricated a lot of things. I didn't think I had the right proof to show that otherwise because a lot of it was in the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm just not looking to buy a car on Craigslist ever again or deal with anything like this again. Ever again, huh? Ever again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First thing I had observed when I had entered the apartment was the tile in the bathroom on the bathtub shower had fallen off the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was never notified of anything, any such occurrence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I noticed that the rug was severely stained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] terrible nicotine stains all over the walls and he was, I sent him a certified letter stating that the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my files that I sent to him, specifically telling him he cannot smoke, besides detenants of the lease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Mr. Johnson, the plaintiff does not get any money, uh, from the defendant. You were suing for $5,000. You don't get anything. The judge figured out you were making $26 an hour. If you were offered that today to do a job, would you do it? No. Not for $26 an hour? No. Wouldn't do it? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry didn't win, but, you know, you tried. You did your best. Okay. Mr. Ellis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the next time you hire somebody, do you think you'll have a real ironclad agreement on what you're going to pay them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harvey? There's no magic number, but it is clear, do not ever pay fully upfront. Usually you pay 50% before the job begins and withhold the other 50 until the job is complete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I understand that. I mean, I don't think this application will ever happen. Let me ask you a question. You keep referring to the- What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, they come to our place. Let against have been sworn young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe they were codings, codings on existing roofs that didn't belong to me. They weren't my work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coating is a liquid aluminum that goes on the flat roof to help it last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course your honor, it was done before he did all his work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was coded over, it was all done prior to him. He can't possibly tell if I did that or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause after the black cement was installed, it's black cement. That's the flashings. The coating is silver. Goes over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but she was mixed up. This was another leak. There was another leak before this bathroom leak. This kitchen leak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what that means. They created this contract. Okay. And the plaintiff wanted to blame somebody for the sleek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that George was just confused with everything going on with the other um, roofage contractors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took the car to the location 2000. I told the gentleman that I need an engine that would be functionable and with the cylinders working properly. Uh, I had to wait around until his father got there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so I waited and I spoke to this gentleman here for a while. You know, just talking car talk. I received a call by 8 o'clock from the mechanic, John, and he states to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said he knows somebody that has, uh, another car, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he said he wanted to sell it for 500. So I told him, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't have the funds to pay for no car right now. So we just talked, talked, talked. He said, well, why don't you come on by and see the car? I told him, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he said, uh, well, look, I gotta get rid of this car. You can have it. As long as you get it off the lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay, so I went back to the mechanic, after that they brought the car over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing is, uh, I have a list of items that were taken. Number one was the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $5,000? Listen to me. Tie a rim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing there was water coming from upstairs, I called the tenant upstairs, which is not my son, Mr. Nichols, and I said, could you check what is going on? The lady on the second floor said there's a leak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked upstairs and he said no water was leaking from upstairs. So I asked him could you go down and check in her apartment to see what was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he got down there, I still had him on the phone. He said the place was exceedingly hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said he didn't see water coming from anywhere. He looked in the tub. He looked in the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said to her, and Mr. Nichols has given a statement that somebody might have accidentally left the hot water on when they went to the bathroom during the night. And that's what caused the overflow. Says who? Because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I didn't get a plummetilla because when we got there there was no water anywhere. I turned on the faucet, I checked under the sink, there was no water leaking from anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the plaintiff has prevailed in this case. You're going to get money, but you're paying her for the telephone. And you still think the dog is somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could be a good lesson. Yeaah, that was a beautiful lesson. Okay. Thank you very much. Alright, here comes the defendant now. You understand what happens. You get a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, bottom line is, it's still in the top place, isn't it? I don't know. They probably sold it by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, good luck to you. I hope this hasn't ruined everything. Friendship and all. Thank you. Okay, good enough. The door is that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where was the car all that time? Uh, it was in the backyard. It was on, uh, in the driveway. I parked it on the street here and there sometimes and I put it back on the driveway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well you're off the hook. You feel better now? Yes, I do. You feel sorry for him? I do feel really bad about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you still work together? We, he works in a different area than I do. Yeah, but we same, same place, different department.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so according to you, the figure 30% is specifically discussed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have any evidence that she's- Let me ask you. What's your version of this story?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was shocked. Yeah, I was shaking, sorry. Did, did, sorry, did she, did she ever, uhm, see I'm just kind of wondering, were you guys like friends until the day you filed the lawsuit or did something go wrong between you guys? No, nothing went wrong. When did things go sour between you two?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you guys have any text that you want to show me that might prove whether or not uhm, this was hey, take the cartridges or whether it was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you talking about? This was a gift. Your answer is, I put them on eBay this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why isn't your answer, what are you talking about, this was a gift?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she also says, yeaah, looks like they're going for 89 each, and those are compatible, blah blah blah, blah blah blah, seven each, I was looking into it more, notice-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How's it going? What are you up to? Searching Craigslist for free stuff. Oh, I do that all the time. I was wondering if you want to chill. Okay, yea, how early? Wondering if you could have a cocktail. I haven't seen you in a minute. She says sure, be there in a few.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then sometime in January you say, can I come over and buy a few smokes? And she says, sure. What happened? I bought a few smokes from her. How many cartridges were there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As to your lawsuit against your neighbor, I am ordering you to return the boxes of cartridges. Okay? That's what I, I believe that the evidence I can see does not really support the idea that there was never supposed to be a business deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This business deal has gone bad and the thing to do is to put you in the position that you were in beforehand. I'm not going to arbitrarily set an amount


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $219.48 for the TV, $35 for your time and mileage to get the TV, and $25 interest on the TV. What's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, you're suing for the tree trimming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are literally suggesting to me that it is on her to take a broken TV she didn't buy and enforce a warranty that didn't happen. Because her warranty is on the new TV that's perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if there was some confusion over it, I find that legally it wasn't a gift. Now, on your counterclaim against them, when you run out and do something nice, you can't then impose a contract and say, well judge, they need to pay me back now because tip for tat since they are now suing me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the tree trimming, even according to your testimony, that is something that comes up afterwards as, hey, you wanna be nice back? Do this. That's also not a contract. It's not like you said, alright, I'll do, I'll go to Costco, I'll get you that TV if you trim my trees. Then it's a quid pro quo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so do you remember when the tree broke through the fence or not really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Down to the ground and up to the heavens. So if someone else's tree is going over into your yard, you have a right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not. But if you don't want, you know, his leaves nature and his leaves falling off, I think he said it best when he said, what am I supposed to do? Go up on his garage? See it? What was it you said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ms. Woodbury, I know you were asking for $8,000. You know, everybody...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one loves the thought of losing a pet, but uhm, I think the judge was very generous. He gave you a thousand dollars for the dog, but then deducted the rent. You gotta pay rent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff does prevail, Ms. Braden. I think a lot of people are just stunned that you walked away and left that apartment that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. You did have to pay money. Over $3,000. You're pretty close on that estimate, though. Pretty good for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you had better pictures, you might have gotten a little bit more, but you got $3,100. Good luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus lost work, plus a number of things that you say she destroyed by putting out, you have a counterclaim against her for $1,425 for rent and other expenses that you think should be on her. Let me talk to you first, tell me what happened here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you still can't do that. You've gotta, you've gotta apply- I, I know that. Okay. You're supposed to apply- Yes, I didn't. I did that illegally yesterday. To the court for the insurance of a warrant of, uh- Of eviction, yes. Right. But what happened? Why didn't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, who helped you to take all her stuff out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and stand up please. Where did you guys put the stuff? Outside, on the curb, on top of a tarp. Okay, well that was nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, when a judge lets you stay rent free and says all I need from you is one thing, keep your word and get out by April 1st. That's already one day more than you're supposed to get anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do this to her. Uhm, I guess. So, you're suing for loss of work. Tell me about that. How so? It doesn't seem like you're very busy trying to get a storage unit and it's your boss's son who's helping you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What work do you do? I'm a home health aide. Okay. Do you have any proof of loss of work? Do you have any affidavits or anything from the people you work for? Is it an agency that put you there? It's an agency. Right, so do you have anything from the agency saying that you didn't work those two days?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mean to laugh, but it is kind of funny that someone finally went postal and said, that's it. That's the end of it. I'm just, you know, I don't care. I'll take my lumps. I don't even know what our lumps are going to be. I have no idea what's going to happen. Is it a misdemeanor? I think it's a misdemeanor in your state. It's a misdemeanor in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it might be a $200 fine. I think that's a crime. You got a criminal record now. Yes. You got a rap sheet. Yeah. You're happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what I want to ask you. What were you thinking bringing her to court? Because now you bring her to court and now she has this counterclaim against you where she wants all that money that you didn't pay. You got this deal to get out and not pay anything if you got out. You looked me right in the eye and said, yeah, I didn't get around to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You really don't, but you get the logic of it though. Yea. Yea. So now, because you didn't leave, there's the $500. Why would she ever have to pay for the exterminator?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole idea behind giving you a deal is not getting marshals involved. Not having to go back to court. Not taking up the judge's time again. Not taking up her time again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you don't abide by it, that's it. Everything's out the window when we start from scratch. You owe February rent $500. You don't get your security deposit back because it covered March rent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't get the other things you're asking for because we've already been over it. You don't have the proof of them. But you certainly don't get your cost of stuff that you have no evidence of got damaged. So for you to tell me, ah, trust me, it all got ruined. And give me $4,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no damage you can show me that happened because of the wrongful eviction. She's gonna pay for her wrongful eviction, cause she probably is gonna have a misdemeanor now. But I have to, in order for her to have to pay you money, I have to see that something got damaged because of her wrongful eviction. In other words, it has to be a proximate cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From her action. It can't just you be saying, ah, trust me Judge, a bunch of stuff got damaged. So on your lawsuit against her, my verdict is for the defendant. And on the defendant's lawsuit against you, my verdict is for her in the amount of $500. Good luck, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Mr. Taylor, you're suing Mr. Burrell for three...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so tell me about what you created that required an editor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you have the, you have it queued up, uh, or actually I have it queued up. Where, where am I, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For people to get it to be what you needed it to be. And tell me about that. You ended up spending what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you kidding me? There's something specific where sound is missing. You have to go exactly where he tells you to go, where he's telling me to go, where sound is missing. So can you dispense with his need to pay actors again by providing it, yes or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the hundred, you would be whole. Because why should he pay back every penny he paid you, plus what it's costing you to fix what he did? You understand? That's your measure of damage is what you are out more than what you expected to pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the wasted, uh, actors, the first time, the actors that you gotta bring back the second time, etc. I get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so if you didn't get that, why would you not then just sue for the 1,500 instead of suing for 1,500 plus 200 plus 450 plus 100, but you understand you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. If you don't understand, I can't help you, but I think you understand what is it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, what were her words to you when you both got out of the car and started talking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, did you buy insurance when you rented the car? Did you include insurance in it? No. You declined the insurance and do you have your own insurance? No. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, two days after you got your license. You were a fresh driver. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you tell her, well, let me review that, then you speak to your people, I guess, and they'll do it for how much?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let me ask you, first let me find out from you how you say the accident happened. Come on over to the board and put the cards where you say they happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did you take the rental car to that guy to fix the rental car scratches?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But your answer to that is, why should I let her get away with the 200? Because according to him, you were kinda nasty when he called you and told you 200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, it's all his fault and it sounds like you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ms. Washington are taking responsibility, and if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me. But wait, there's more. You have a counterclaim against him for, mmm, $1,276.30, exactly what he's suing you for. And what is the theory there? $481.50 to repair the car that the rental company is now suing you for, your mom? And the rest of it for emotional distress?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but you and I both know, uhm, you have a car, it's kind of long in the tooth, right? 14 years old. See, you got a quote for replacing a bumper. I can go get this. That doesn't mean I need replacing. You understand? I hear what you're saying. Why should you give her the benefit of the bargain? I get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'm gonna rule in your favor in the amount of $800. On your counterclaim against him, don't be ridiculous, zero. That's my judgement. Good luck, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was attempting to get him undercoating, a protective undercoating, uhm, to protect under his truck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tree originated in the alley. The tree grew into my yard. It didn't grow out of my yard. I never planted that tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the second, what I believe to be the second phone call, he demanded that I trim the tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As these pictures indicate, uh, there are only small branches overhanging the garage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That if, if the branches of my tree are trespassing on his roof or above his roof, I thought it was his responsibility to cure his problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's a beautiful thing that I, you know, if everything works, you know, it's a beautiful thing to hear about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, uh, I go on Facebook. Facebook, they have a marketplace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well, I asked for her to play it, but the, the, the thing was, uh, she come up with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse saying that it's missing cable from, uh, uh, the speaker to the amplifier and she cannot make me hear this, uh, the other instrument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but I asked you to play with the speaker and amplifier because this type of cord...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh she said that you need a cable. You need a cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, you gotta pay for the day because, you know, they have a business to run and everything else. I got two business cards from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, the technician brought the wire with, this wire with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it depends on where you get, you know, there's so many of them and I know for a fact they can go around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From $200 to $1,000, it depends on what you buy, you know, I mean, this, in this specific case,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This accordion, if it work, everything work, yeaah, it's worth whatever, you know, I was gonna, I paid for. But the thing is, you know, she felt to tell me that, you know, the thing is this. When, uh, I text her for the accordion for sale, this and that, I say I give you 500 cash, she will take it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She say, no, I have somebody else who wants to buy for $550. I say, okay, let her see, let her buy, you know, I mean, I don't care, you know, whatever at this point. So a couple of days later, she calls me back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes any music today. And, uh, I love to continue with my grandson one day if everything is okay and if I'm still alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, my dad, he kind of plays, but you know, he's not expert. So my grandfather, he left it behind, and then we kept it there for like, you know, a while, and we told him that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean, uh, so I basically told him I do not play the recording, I do not know nothing about the recording. But when I tested out the speaker,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but we did try it, it was like coming out noises and there was, it obviously needed another wire cause, you know, to fix it, it has to like, have another wire, I'm guessing, I don't know, but I did tell him like, I don't know nothing about the recording, it's not like I played him, it's not like I said, oh everything was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause like I said, I did not know nothing about the corny, I was just selling it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, he gets there, and then, uhm, my dad starts playing the chord in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uhm, we asked him to try it. He was like, no, I already see it's good. And this and that. And me and my dad don't really know, like, the inside. Like he said, he took it to the technician or whatever. We don't know the inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on approximately the 30th of April, we were called by, I was called by Mr. Meskin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Removing the sliding glass door. Removing the framing that the sliding glass door was in. Reconstructing a wall to replace that sliding glass door. Putting on siding, insulation, sheetrock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the elements of the tiny house were wired correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first week we tore out the sliding glass door and the framing associated with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Undid some of the electrical system that was in the way of building the parapet walls and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Constructed the three parapet walls over the existing bathroom and installed a lot of the electric that was required.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She told me on Sunday that it would take approximately 15 more days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was never a thousand. It was never a thousand. That was Mr. Meskin's offer of what he would put in my PayPal account on that Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your honor, this was work being done on the inside of a container house that was already wired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll either take the thousand dollars and be happy or we won't pay you. I'm not sure what position I was left in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, we were both asked to join Ms. McGinley on Friday to go shopping for materials for the jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally, we spent three and a half hours, but we were already given forty dollars towards that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's not a matter of not happy, Your Honor. To take apart somebody else's work that is unviable does not require a licensed contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nothing that the county does about these tiny homes that are inside of containers. Well, you heard it. Now I heard it. Sorry fellas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I told her, well, give it a few minutes and let's see what it's gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we proceeded to the house and before we got to the house it stopped cooling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. May I have them? Uhm, if I haven't deleted them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I take it back to him the second time, he told me it was the hose was leaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, first it was the compressor went out. The second time I brought it, I took it to him. He said it was a leak in, uh, a hose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I called him on Labor Day, and he told me he was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At home on Labor Day, he wasn't at his shop. He told me to bring it. And I told him, I'll bring it as soon as I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had it for a week. Okay. He looked, he looked it over, called me and said it was a leak in the dashboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked at it, he looked at it, and it wasn't, when he cut it on, it wasn't turning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you, when you cut it on, it's supposed to kick in and it wasn't kicking in. So I'm telling him, I know a little something about the, about it. And I told him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put some freon in it. Once you put freon on it, it'll kick in. And he agreed to it. He knew he just was thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking about a different guy with, not him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't got, I haven't got it fixed yet. Okay. And that's just the estimate on and it's sudden to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I went and got my vehicle, when I went and picked up my vehicle, my brother-in-law took me to pick up my vehicle and I asked them, they was sitting outside waiting on me to come get my vehicle and I walked up to them to get my keys and when I walked up to them to get my keys, I said, man, you know you did me wrong. And he said, how's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you didn't fix my air conditioning. You're supposed to have been taking the dashboard out. And it's, I got it right here when he said it's gonna take five hours to take my dashboard out, which he didn't do. And he said, let's go in and look at it. And when we went in to look at it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I did was tell you, told you I was gonna take you to court if you don't fix my vehicle. Well, I don't care how much money you give me, I ain't gonna fix it. And then my brother-in-law said, let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, who is this knucklehead here talking trash? And we kept on walking. And he said, well, if you wanna


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was on the inside when he let the door down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now my brother and I, we was going to his vehicle, I was going to my vehicle. And next thing I know, the door go back up. When the door go back up, I look around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here he comes charging at me. He who? That same guy? The same guy, the young guy, one of his workers. Right, okay, go ahead. And so. Charging at you means what? Charging at me like he's doing bali hum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not necessarily saying I need one or not, uhm, it might be burn up. Well now you're making stuff up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the 5 hours and I don't know how much it was going to take the dashboard out. Let me see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which he didn't do. Five hours to take the dashboard out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if he would have chucked the dashboard out, we wouldn't be here, Ardern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I knew her through her mother. Her mother and I used to work together. Also, I used to work with her grandmother too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 500. How old was this car? It's 2002. 2002 what? Chevy Blazer. Chevy Blazer. At the time that we, that I sold it to Kiara, we did not do any paperwork, like a receipt or whatever. Why not? Trust me, she was like a goddaughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She called me and said, she said, well, Ms. Tyson, uh, do you want your car back? I said, no. I said, it wouldn't be fair to me to take the car back from you just because the other deal fell through. So she said, well, I already have a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, she so, she, what happened, she called, she called me. So when she called me and said, do I want the car back, I told her no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later on she said, well Ms. Tyson, I got, uh, I got a car. I got a car, but to keep you from being without one, I'll sell it back to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I end up paying her a total of a six. Seven fifty. How come? Because the five hundred for the purchase? Five hundred for the purchase. And then she said on her title to get the tag, she had to pay two fifty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so to keep just from going through a lot of mess, I just paid it to 750.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the thing, when I sold her the car, we didn't exchange a receipt then. I thought when she sold it back, everything would run just as smooth. I know, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called the police. And then the police come and what did the police say? And the police told me since I don't have a receipt, a title, that nothing I can do about it. I had to play it out in court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. But anyway, here's our last text message and I was through about playing with her bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Presented all the evidence. What do I need a title? I mean, wait a minute. Why would I need a title to get insurance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The door handle fell off. Okay, how did it fall off? It just fell off. I went to open the door and it fell off. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and then it was hanging and then it just fell all the way off. Okay. So what did you do? I uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the handle came off. When the handle came off, I had to jump back because the rest of the door just came down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off? What are you saying? Okay, so first when it came off it fell down and hit the floor. The whole thing detached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, it went all the way down and then, okay, this is the picture right here I have, it went all the way down and then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, here's a picture right here. The door that he put in, well he told me he was going to give me a new door. Okay, not a rebuilt door. He said he was going to give me a new door. Okay, so the door that he put in, it has steel pieces sticking out of it. Where? Right in front of the oven, where if I'm walking by and I have a dog, I have a video. I can show you the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the outside of the oven door. On the outside of the oven door. Yeaah. And it's another plastic strip on the outside and then it's a steel piece. Okay, the video. Okay, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have it. So I asked him, you know, can you give me another temporary registration? He says, uhm, to my fiance, uh, if you get pulled over, we'll, you know, we'll, we'll pay for any charges that you get. But in New Jersey, if you don't have plates, they're gonna tow my car. So. Yeah, I don't like that plan at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to The People's Court, Harvey Levin here. Okay, I have a human nature question. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is it a good idea for uhm, two people who work together to actually end up becoming roommates? Nah, I don't think so. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I want to talk to the officer that was there. He asked, uhm, I said I would like it to be told to Jim's Auto because they, I don't have a title to this car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I did a card title loan, I said I do not have a card title loan to it. So if-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked her, um, when they called me a week later, I was like, who is this? And it was the lady first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, my cousin called me and said your car is over here wrecked. I think this is your car. Yeah. So I got with my boss. I know, but you're telling me things I'm not interested in. What I'm saying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was on the phone first and I told her I didn't know it was there so she put the guy on. He gets on and he was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got 250 cannot do payment plans. I said I only got 250. She said no. She said unfortunately you gotta have the full amount. I said well I don't have the full $500. That's when I had told him I said I just filed bankruptcy and I don't have the full $500. But I was willing, I told him I had 250 and I could pay payments and I could have somebody come and pick it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is what it is. That's what happened, that's what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This pawn shop five years, but he owned one previous. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have talked about this before, but these text messages can help you or they can kill you in court. What you write is critical when you're in the middle of a dispute. So think about it and think about what it's going to look like if you end up in court. And that will do it for this case, litigants for the next case on the way into the courtroom right now.
