if you read the post on the url, you'll totally get it. when you google her name now, she comes up on the first page with my ripoff report. HA~!
but i think that'll bump off pretty quickly, so help me out. pretty please.
Okay, so what do you want us to do, exactly? This story is terrible, by the way. I hope you get everything you are owed.
thank you THANK YOU.
boy, talk about me being obsessed for a few days. thanks val, heen. (sorry about blowing your doors on the phone)
basically, what hena said. google bombing (providing a clickable link to my blog, that tiny url up there) caused my rant to come up on the first page for, oh..two days.
i just need to go ahead and file a small claim, i guess.
this one's even better:
does html work on this site?
make sure you take the quiz at the bottom.
i know heeen, it really needs to be fixed. god, i miss you. shit, i miss consumating.
UPDATE: the woman had the nerve to respond everywhere, the ripoffreport, my blog--TWICE-- posing as a "satisfied customer". she even took the quiz, because if you check the results, someone has clicked the terrible person answer. what i'd really like to do is post some horrifying gif or captcha indicating that she's been "traced" (omfglol) i did IP trace and surprise surprise, it's bellsouth, and i was all set to post links to those two captchas when i thought it would be HILAR to scare the shit out of her with a fake message.
anyone got a fab scary blue screen or some trace message? something really fucking creepy scary? satellite footage of her house with the ip address and techie blurbage maybe?
you guys are following this drama, right? check the blog, because this drama's nowhere near done, yet.
and soulcamp? it's on my to-do list. this is how i'm gathering the necessary backbone and feeling slightly vindicated until fundage for an attorney falls out of the sky.
Attorneys aren't necessary (and sometimes not allowed) for small claims court. You have all the documentation you need. A judge will hear evidence from both sides and ask questions of the both of you.
In my book, it's a pretty clear case. She can't bill you for any of those charges, because she never had any contract with you (verbal or written) for any of those. They will be thrown out. As for your claim, the judge *could* decide that by prepaying with a discount, you forfeited your right to claim a refund if the entire year's board was not used. However, and this is the BIGGIE, this would have had to been made clear to you by her upfront. If the stable policy is to provide refunds for services not used (which would be the case unless she declares so otherwise), then any contract she would have had to make with you about prepaid would have to include the exclusion of a refund. I don't believe she did this (at least not according to any evidence you have presented), so you should be entitled to a refund.
Also, I would include the charges she made on your credit card, if they were not authorized. Be prepared to prove that the charges she made were in excess of what would be reasonable for gas expenses.
Call me if you want to discuss any of the details of what you should file.
As for worrying about whether she or her daughter is posing as a customer - DON'T. It's not worth your time, and without any evidence, you could be slapped with defamation charges for making such claims in public. You cannot prove (without subpoenaing internet records) anything, and it does not help your case in any way. Just let it go.
i thought you were a musician. also, i'm waiting to see this "board agreement" she's supposedly forwarding to the bbb.
i'm msg you that, cuz it's got all kinds of private info on it, that i'm way too lazy to block out and upload right now.
update:
i ran into another boarder. HAHA. she read my whole dealio and lo and behold, she got screwed over too. she couldn't wait to tell me what a greedy asshole suzanne was.

does the term "google bomb" mean anything to you?
