After they broke up, he refused to pay her back, leaving her deep in debt at just 19 years old. She’s suing for the amount she’s owed. The defendant claims the plaintiff was spending from her parents’ savings account and pretending to live lavishly. He says he already paid her back out of pity for her parents and can’t believe she’s demanding more.

Then, the plaintiff says she gave the defendant money for a casino bus trip that was ultimately canceled. She’s suing for a refund. The defendant claims she wasn’t the organizer of the trip and told the plaintiff from the start that she didn’t have her money.

Plus, the plaintiff says he bought a car from the defendant but it broke down after just 10 miles. The defendant arranged a tow but then asked the plaintiff to pay for it.

She claims they brought bedbugs into her home, caused a toilet overflow, and stole a flat-screen TV. She’s suing for property damage, an unpaid loan, and back rent.
