'Coke Cans Muffler' & 'Impound Fees' & 'Issues With The Litters'
First, the plaintiff says the defendant intentionally scammed her by selling her a car with multiple problems, including a muffler held together by Coke cans. She is suing for all the money she’s out. The defendant says the plaintiff brought someone to check out the car and even test-drove it, only to change her mind two days after buying it. He refuses to return her money and is countersuing for harassment and lost wages.
Then, the plaintiff used to date the defendant, but when she kicked him out of the house, he stole her car. The cops recovered it, took it to impound, and she was forced to pay for it. She is suing the defendant to get her lost money back. The defendant says he was given 10 minutes to leave after an argument, and he took the truck that was rightfully his. He claims the plaintiff lied to the cops about the car being stolen, and he’s not responsible for paying the cost of impound.
Plus, the plaintiff says he put a deposit down to pick out a puppy from the defendant’s pregnant English bulldog, but the litter died. He was promised a discount and pick of the next litter, but there was an issue with that one too.

The defendant insists the plaintiff didn’t have the money to pay her for a puppy when the second litter came around, and basically strung her along.

First, the plaintiff was in business with the defendant for a while before the defendant left to start her own business. The plaintiff claims she stole a computer, customers, and other items from him, and is suing for lost profit, defamation, lawyer fees, and stolen property.

First, the plaintiff was out walking his dogs when the defendant’s unleashed dog ran over and attacked them. The defendant never apologized, so the plaintiff is suing for the cost of vet bills.

Then, the plaintiff rented out the defendant’s unit for three years, and when she moved out, he kept part of her security deposit to repaint. The state law required him to repaint every three years regardless of damage, so she’s suing to get her money back. The defendant says the plaintiff painted her bedroom a very dark color, and he kept part of the deposit because it required extra paint and primer for him to paint over.
