First, the plaintiff sold the defendant an authentic collector’s edition New England Patriots jersey. Two months later, the defendant reached out and said he wanted to return it because he didn’t think it was real. The plaintiff stands behind his business, so he wired back the money, only to not receive the jersey from the defendant. He is suing to get the cost of the item back. The defendant says he’s been collecting jerseys for 10 years, and the plaintiff gave him both a fake name and a fake check. The plaintiff is just a con artist.
Then, the plaintiff says he was driving down the road one day when the defendant’s dog dashed out in front of him, and he was hit by the car. The dog then ran off, leaving behind the plaintiff and a car with a damaged bumper. He says the defendant refuses to believe her dog caused the damage and won’t pay the plaintiff for repairs. He is suing for the repairs. The defendant says the plaintiff is just trying to get money out of her and bumpers don’t cost what he’s charging to repair.
Plus, the plaintiff and her boyfriend rented an apartment from the defendant, and she couldn’t afford the rent anymore after they broke up. Since she was on a month-to-month lease, she moved out and is now having a hard time getting the security deposit back, so she’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff and her boyfriend ruined the apartment by getting gum in the carpet and tearing up the linoleum flooring in the kitchen. He believes he has every right to hold on to the security deposit.
