Gambling Away the Future
Podcast: The People’s Court PodcastPublished On: Mon Aug 14 2023
Description: The plaintiff says the defendant is her ex-husband, and she loaned him some money when he hit a rough patch. She claims he ignored her when she asked him to repay it — because it turns out he lost $50,000 gambling. She’s suing to be reimbursed. The defendant says his ex-wife never loaned him money and claims she’s just there because the courts cut off child support. Then, the plaintiff says she rented her rustic cottage to the defendant, who she claims lit fireworks that melted plastic pipes in her yard. The damage caused a leak, so she had to hire a plumber. When she confronted the defendant about the bill, she stopped payment on the rental and wrote a scathing online review. She’s suing for the rent and repairs. The defendant denies damaging anything. She says the home wasn’t clean and did not match the ad description, so she stopped payment. Plus, the plaintiff says he bought his first car from the defendant, but he claims the man unloaded a pile of junk on him. He says the car needs a new transmission and other major repairs, but the defendant told him to take a hike, so he’s suing for a refund. The defendant says the plaintiff had the car for a week before complaining and denies there was anything wrong with the vehicle when he sold it.
