Bought a car, motor was messed up, guy ghosted me. Went to file papers today, found out that even if I win a judgement, I can't collect unless he wants to pay me.

Really?  I need to make a claim against a wedding venue that stole 7k from us

Hey, so this is kinda my area of expertise, if you win, you will have a judgement against him. which will accrue interest of around 8% annually. If he files a tax return or wins a large sum of money in a settlement the court could intercept those funds to satisfy judgement.

Otherwise unless he pays you probably wont see much of the money. but this would also affect his credit score some if they are someone who cares about that, they may actaully try to pay it off.

That is some bullshit right there. I hope you sue the F out of them 

Postponed once and they were fine. Then we needed to postpone again because new York where all my wife's family lives was on lock down including her dad who works for the state and he would be immediately fired if they found out he left the state.  Told us she wouldn't move it again and there was no reason we couldn't have the wedding in August of 2020 without any of my wife's family there.  Then agreed to move to March of 2021 but said the outdoor tent that was included was no longer included and oh by the way all my prices went up and wanted us to sign a new contract.  NAH bitty.  I've been too lazy to file the paperwork. I have until like July of this year.

My suggestion would be to ask a lawyer recommended by a friend or someone you know to write a letter essentially threatening them with a lawsuit if they didn't make it right.

Then I would advise the venue you have obtained legal counsel, you want to give them another opportunity to do the right thing, and, if necessary, an avenue along the lines of a lawsuit would probably commence. There's always the local news "5 On Your Side" thing as well as Google and all sorts of other online reviews, FB posts, etc. which could really kill business for them.

You have a lot more weapons than you think. Just need to commit a couple hours a day to make calls, post negative feedback, etc.

If the judge rules in your favor, you still have to collect. You can't make them pay.

Can I be arrested for not paying a judgment?

A party will not be arrested for failing to pay a judgment ordered in small claims court.

Will my wages or public benefits be garnished to pay a judgment?

No, North Carolina does not allow a winning party to garnish the other party’s wages or public benefits, except in child support cases.

This is a great question and I was about to make a post pertaining to situation I am in.

Basically hired this total scumbag to come and do "work" at my house.

He charged and obnoxious amount and sent a very undetailed bill.

At one point, his employee asked me to pay 3K-5K with effing Venmo.

He is asking for about $3.5K but it just does not feel right.

I DID NOT sign ONE single document before or after this all started.

You are fugged.  With the amazing scams going on these days this is small time stuff.  After it’s sold it’s yours.  
 

This happened to me and a bit of advice.  Be careful about trying to get this car fixed.  There is a reason they didn’t fix it themselves.  Don’t sink money into it now.

Weddings are big business and without knowing specifics I feel like you may be screwed with this, they postponed for you but I am sure the contract covered with postponing pricing and includeds could change.

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
