• 'Two Weeks Too Late' & 'Not My Dump Truck, Not My Problem' & 'Did You Even Read the Manual?'

  First, the plaintiff loaned his girlfriend money with the stipulation that she would pay him back within two weeks. However, he soon discovered she had cheated on him before disappearing without paying him back. He is suing for the unpaid loan. The defendant claims the plaintiff owed her for damaged property, and the loan he claims he gave her was actually the payment, just put toward a car. Then, the plaintiff bought a truck from the defendant, only to find out after that the defendant didn’t have the rights to sell it. He can’t use it now due to an injury, and can’t sell it because of issues with the title, so he’s suing the defendant for the money he spent on the vehicle. The defendant claims he was only informed of issues with the title a year later, but did offer to fix it, which the plaintiff did not take him up on. Plus, the plaintiff runs a medical transport company that takes cancer patients to and from the hospital. The defendant worked for him, but when he left the job, he took five uniforms with him and left the plaintiff with an outstanding traffic ticket. He’s suing to get his money back. The defendant says he was never told to return the used clothing he was given for the job, and also never ran a red light or got a ticket on the job.

  First, the plaintiff says the defendant trespassed onto his property after he trimmed some bushes and called him offensive names and even admitted it to the cops.

The defendant claims the plaintiff is the one harassing her and even caused her pig to die by putting toxic chemicals on his bushes. Then, the plaintiff loaned his girlfriend some money but has had a hard time getting paid back since they’ve broken up. He’s suing to get his money back. The defendant says the plaintiff was going through a divorce when they were dating and offered to pay for a portion of rent on an apartment for her. It was only ever a gift, and she doesn’t owe him anything. Plus, the plaintiff says she was hired by the defendant to be his assistant on a documentary he was filming in Maine. She soon got the sense the film wasn’t actually happening, and the defendant just wanted a woman to travel with him. She’s suing to get the money she’s owed for taking up the job. The defendant says the plaintiff joined him on location scouting and other film tasks, spoke to potential participants, and is padding the number of hours she worked for him. Besides, he was just a supervisor, not the one who hired her. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

• 'A View of the Bronx from I-95' & 'As It Turns Out, Kyle Is a Minor' & 'Is She Your Wife or Girlfriend?'

  First, the plaintiff ordered a handmade custom leather jacket from the defendant, but when it came, she found it was several sizes too large for her! She tried to contact the defendant for a redo, but he refused to help, so she’s suing for the money she spent. The defendant says he’s worked with big names and had offered to adjust the plaintiff’s jacket for her. She was nothing but problems for the defendant, who believes he did everything he could for her. Then, the plaintiff bought a car from the defendant, who claimed it ran perfectly. However, the car turned out to be a piece of junk, and the plaintiff is suing for his money back. The defendant says he sold the car to the plaintiff, only to get an angry call from his mother a few hours later claiming the plaintiff had taken money from her in order to buy the car. He gave the plaintiff a receipt that clearly states, “no refunds,” and a sale is a sale. Plus, the plaintiff gave the defendant a deposit on an apartment and brought his wife later that day to see the place. She didn’t like it and they decided to live elsewhere. However, the defendant refuses to give the deposit back, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant says the agreement was for immediate occupancy, and the plaintiff had moved some cleaning supplies in, so there is no space for a refund. The defendant is countersuing for lost rent and travel expenses. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
