'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. After the third litter had an issue as well, he realized he was being scammed, so he’s suing for his money back. 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.

'Business Partner Chaos' & 'Stiffing a Landlord' & 'Doing The Right Thing'
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. The defendant says the plaintiff tried to make her sign a contract she didn’t want to sign, broke into her Facebook account, and is still making money off her image without her permission.
Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, his tenant, is trying to stiff him on a gas bill the defendant has had nothing to do with in eight months. He is suing to get the cost of the bill back. The defendant argues the cost was included in his rent and he never received a single gas bill to pay. He doesn’t believe he owes anything.
Plus, the plaintiff discovered a dent on her car after returning from errands, with a note attached that included a phone number. The defendant, who caused the damages, is now giving the plaintiff the runaround and refuses to pay for repairs, so she’s suing him. The defendant admits to causing the damages, but claims the plaintiff was parked illegally and he was running late for a doctor’s appointment. He argues it was her own fault for creating a hazardous situation.

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. The defendant claims it was the plaintiff’s dogs who came at her friendly dog, who only reacted out of self-defense, which the cops agreed on.
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.
Plus, the plaintiffs purchased a breed kitten from the defendant, only to discover it had a birth defect that made breathing difficult. They are accusing the defendant of breeding cats for money instead of health and are suing for their money back. The defendant has been breeding cats for long enough that had the kitten had any issues, she would have kept it for herself to care for. She believes the plaintiffs left the animal in a cold house.

Then, the plaintiff says her dog was injured after a slip while at the groomers and says it’s the defendant’s fault. She’s suing the defendant for the vet bill so she’s held accountable.

Plus, the plaintiff hired the defendant to watch her children and realized afterward that an expensive and brand-new sweater was missing. She says the defendant refused to return it, so she’s suing for the cost of the item. The defendant says she was never paid to watch the kids and doesn’t even know why she’s being sued.
