'Scammed at a Doughnut Shop' & 'Attacked at The Airport' & 'Lying to a Tenant'
First, the plaintiff met the defendant at a doughnut shop and ended up paying for a furniture set AND modeling school for her, which she never even attended. He soon realized he was duped and is suing her for his money back. The defendant says the furniture was a gift, and the plaintiff made advances toward her, which made her uncomfortable. She doesn’t believe she owes him anything.
Then, the plaintiff works at JFK airport, and says the defendant attacked him, sending him to the hospital. The defendant was arrested, and the plaintiff is suing him for missed work and pain and suffering. The defendant says the plaintiff started the altercation by placing his hands on him and trying to throw the guy out. He is countersuing for broken property and missed work.
Plus, the plaintiffs say they rented a condo from the defendant, only to find on arrival that it was under construction. The terrace was even closed due to all the drilling. They have proof the defendant knew about the construction before they were to move in, and want a partial refund. The defendant claims the plaintiffs knew about the construction, which is why they got a bargain on the place. The construction caused only a few minor inconveniences, and it wasn’t a big deal.

'Wedding DJ' & 'Loud Tenant' & 'Car Sale Falling Through'
First, the plaintiff hired the defendant as a DJ for her wedding, and claims her special day was ruined because he didn’t follow any of the details they went over beforehand. She is suing for her money back. The defendant says he’s been in the business for 20 years, and this bride in particular was a challenge. He says she sent the police to his house two hours before he was even scheduled to be at her reception, scaring his daughter. He earned his money and he’s keeping it.
Then, the plaintiff says the defendant was her tenant, and it was not a great relationship. In fact, another tenant of hers moved out because of several loud fights the defendant got into. When he moved out, he left quite a bit of damage and did not pay his rent in full, so she’s suing him. The defendant says he has no idea why he’s being sued, because he is not at fault for the things she claims he is.
Plus, the plaintiff paid the defendant half the cost of a car, telling him she’d have the other half once she got her tax return. Unfortunately, it got delayed, so she asked the defendant if she could finance the rest. He got nasty and she decided to not do business with him. She is suing for the return of the money she already spent. The defendant says he held the car for 52 days after she paid for half of it, and then she just changed her mind. She refused to work with him and it doesn’t make sense to him.

'Pay Up For The Bike' & 'Wood Pile Blues' & 'Backing Into a Car'
First, the plaintiff took out a loan on a motorcycle for the defendant, who made payments to her for two years before stiffing her on the rest of the payments. She is suing for the rest of the money she is owed. The defendant claims it was the plaintiff who insisted on buying the bike for him, as she needed to build her credit to buy a house. He says she took the bike back and he owes her nothing.
Then, the plaintiff says he bought some vintage flooring from the defendant, but when he got home and unwrapped it, he discovered he’d been scammed. His firewood pile looked better than what the defendant had sold him. He is suing to get his money back. The defendant had told the plaintiff he was happy to take the flooring back if it wasn’t damaged, but it had fallen off the plaintiff’s truck, so it was all out of shape. He is countersuing for storage fees.
Plus, the plaintiff says the defendant backed into her car one night and promised to pay for the damages. As expected, those payments never happened, and the plaintiff is tired of going back and forth with the defendant. She is suing for the money she needs to fix her car. The defendant says the plaintiff is seriously overcharging for the cost of repairs and is just trying to make money off of her.

'Purchased a Sick Dog' & 'Deal or No Deal' & 'Rusty insides'
First, the plaintiff says she purchased a dog from the defendant’s store, only to discover a few days later that the dog had a serious medical condition that could not be easily fixed. She is suing the defendant for the amount she spent on the dog. The defendant says he did not hear about this for two months, and still offered to give her a new one, or refund her money, when he did. Instead, she insisted on an operation that wasn’t even guaranteed to fix the issue.
Then, the plaintiff says he purchased a house the defendant was renting at the time, and it became clear that she wasn’t going to pay the rent or the utilities. He began the eviction process and is suing her for back rent. The defendant says she made plans to leave the moment he bought the house, and claims he is suing her for rent she doesn’t owe because he wasn’t her landlord at the time.
Plus, the plaintiff bought a car from the defendant and proceeded to have lots of issues with it. A mechanic discovered the insides were rusted out and she is suing the defendant for the money she spent on the car. The defendant says he told the plaintiff the car needed work when he sold it to her and is not at fault for the damages.

Then, the plaintiff says she’s known the defendant for nine years and purchased a car from him.

The defendant says the plaintiff was bad at making payments and had told the defendant to take it back because she did not have the money to pay him.
