Omg I thought the same thing, the minute she said her age, I was like, “wow… she looks incredible and is so well kept and proper.” She oozes richness. Lol
I cheaped out and it worked fine. granted I only rented a small uhaul and I only own like one 10x10' worth of space if that... But ti was cheap! and hey, I didn't damage my own shit.
So basically the person being paid as a mover's defense was "I'm a landscaper, not a mover" that was a really good one. I also loved how the judge asked the daughter what would happen if she had signed it
The plaintiff looks amazing for 65 years old to bad she wasn’t as wise by signing that contract with out thoroughly looking over that moving contract was a bad judgment on her part
I agree but moving is a very stressful experience. She did have all her evidence lined up nicely right down to the phone record of when he called her to cancel.
I have always rented a truck and moved myself with help from family and friends. This last time I decided to go easy on myself and hire a moving company. Never again. It was awful. They forgot to wrap my dining room table. It was badly scratched and dinged. After 3 months of back and forth the person they sent to fix it only made it worse. I ended up telling him to leave my house. I did make sure I told everyone I know not to ever hire them.
I totally agree about the comment that the Plaintiff doesn't look 65. Great for her. She looks like she is in her late 40's. Hats off to the Plaintiff. What ever she is doing or eating let me know. I will follow her Regerment to the T. Plus the Plaintiff's Daughter looks exactly like her mother.
Defendant is super good looking, as well as the plaintiff. I like the Defendant. I think he just does a side hustle. She knew it and wanted a cheap ass move.
So she hires landscapers instead of movers to move the contents of a 2200 sqft house, then signs a waiver four days before the move is even supposed to happen, then she’s shocked and appalled that it didn’t go smoothly. This is why I could never be a judge. I was the one deciding this case this woman would lose based solely on stupidity!
This part right here!! Plus, she was acting like he put her completely out of her way. She was storing, not moving so it's not like she lost a day of travel. I'm not saying that was acceptable buy, just like with her...stuff happens. She breeched the contract first by changing the date, reason why he lost use of the big truck & deposit. It sounds like she couldn't get out of the sale. Anyway, she had enough time to get professional movers, she just didn't want to pay for professional movers. I understand the $950 but the $200 was too much. That should have been checked under you get what you pay for.
Anyone can do a move people do their own moves all the time you're just hiring extra hands. You're really judgemental. I imagine your perfect and you don't make any silly mistakes.
I disagree with this verdict. At the end of the day, she hired a landscaper as a mover. Duh something is bound to go wrong. That’s like if I hired a mechanic to do my eye surgery. She should’ve hired professionals for her 2,500 sqft move.
And no it's not the same if you' I surgery. This is just hired manual labor people do their own moves all the time people do not do their own eye surgeries. And the reason why she got the money back is because the night entered $50 was for the Virginia move that was upcoming it wasn't for the move. That he did that wasn't extra move that she paid extra money for he was paid for that move. She just didn't want to continue using him for the next move and we could see why she's justified so he didn't earn that 950 yet.
He broke the written contract, she was the dummy hiring a landscaper to move her furniture. Can we say she wanted a cheap move after she sold her house. What brainless person doesn't pay for a legitimate moving company. I'm glad she received over $1000 back. You pay for what you get.
Don’t hire someone who doesn’t have the knowledge. How is manual labor wether mowing the yard or moving a couch lol neither of those jobs requires any schooling or apprenticeship 😊
We once hired a "cheap" mover whose truck broke down before they got to us. They RENTED a truck and did the move. Although it was well after midnight before they were finished, this is a good example of someone who did WHATEVER IT TOOK to get the job done. Unlike the Defendant who couldn't be bothered to get a sitter.
I hate cases like this. She tried to cheap out on a move, waited until the move was done, and then tried to nickel and dime all her money back. You don't get professional grade service for below grade cost. If she wants to gamble, that's her risk to take. Beyond that, she also lied about him misrepresenting himself (his first estimate clearly identified his profession). Finally, there were two contract breaks here. She broke the Virginia move contract (the $950) by indefinitely postponing it at the last minute. He broke the storage unit contract by showing up a day late. I don't see why his break justified returning the (much larger) money from her break. They were entirely different contracts. She should have gotten $200 back. No more.
I disagree. When you decide to sell a service you must deliver that service in a professional manner. This wasn't her neighbour's son who she gave $100 to and then decided to sue because he was clueless, this was a guy who tried to sell a professional service with contracts and money upfront. With regards to the contract breaking, he penalised her for her breach by making her pay $500 and signing a new one, however when he was too disorganised to turn up on the moving day, he shouldn't be penalised? He deserved every judgement against him, he oversold what he could deliver and was too greedy and arrogant to see that. Just because you're cheap, doesn't mean you can do a poor job.
@@JayTheDodo They were two different contracts. He didn't show up on the right day for the 2nd contract (the local move for $570). She canceled the first contract (the $950) at the last minute. He was at fault for the second breech. She was at fault for the first breech. He still performed the labor of the second contract, but did so in a way that it cost her $200 to get someone else to do it right. As such, breech of contract 1 ($950) should have stayed with him. Breech of contract two ($570) WOULD have gone to her if she hadn't let him do the labor the next day. Since she did, all she's entitled to is the cost of making it right (the $200). The judge even SAID that her reasoning for giving the plaintiff back the money from contract 1 was due to how badly he botched contract 2, and that isn't legal (think--if you get a lousy meal at a nice restaurant, you can get THAT meal comped. You don't get your money back from a previous reservation where you no-showed).
This case was the plantiffs fault lol she did not have to sign that paper stating everything went smoothly 4 days before the actual service she could have simply requested her money back and hired a real moving company but she wanted a cheap service, I also feel like he had her sign two different contracts under different company names so he can file taxes for both although it was one service smh he definitely need to stick to landscaping lol
I feel like did you watch the case question? Mark the $950 was for the second move of course. She's not going to trust him to show up the day of the moves since he didn't show up for the move the first move so he she. Paid him for the move both moves but she gets her money back on the second move because she canceled the second move because he wasn't reliable she. Never had To Do that second move.
All shows like this pay for the flights, accommodations and judgements of the litigants. Otherwise there would be no incentive of having your case on TV and being embarrassed.
Moving companies do it all of the time. They know if they make you sign before delivery then they won't be responsible for any damage. It's super common for them to do this and hold your things hostage.
The plaintiff looks great for 65!!!! Unfortunately she thought she would save some money with this landscaper-mover. A VA hospital bus & a tiny $19.95 Haul van? That's ridiculous! Her money was spent the minute she gave it to him. 😮
Pay attention she paid for the move he got to keep the money for the move. There were 2 moves. She got a refund for the paying for the second move in an advance that she can no longer trust him to show up for since he did not show. Up for the first move on the day he was supposed to..he was permitted to keep the first move money.... but she was refunded by judge verdict $950 for tge second move that she had prepaid... since it was clear he couldn't be relied upon to show up.
The plaintiff is the typical cheap person who doesn't have the money to pay a professional and then complain later things were not the state of the art. 🤡
State? Of the. Art? Who's? Asking for state-of-the-art she was just asking him to show up and with appropriate equipment and To Do the job right he failed to show up on. The day he was supposed to and then came with inadequate truck... the $950 was for the second move she had for future... of course she wasn't going to trust him to show up for it since he flaked the first time and didn't even give her a call early in tge morning to warn her... left her waiting all day.. and postponing it to next day... still she agreed to allow him next day and pay him the $575 as agreed... but her prepay for second planned move for $950 she of course can't rely on him to show up day of tge move... so since he can't be relied upon he didn't earn the money for the second move..
@@panamafernandez4641LOL controlling because you want somebody to show up the day? They're supposed to move you and not weigh all day till 3:30 PM tell you that there are never going to show up that day yeah that's. Really? Controlling. I'm sure that you would be fine with that.
@just4now141 you should've reviewed the video to confirm. The Plaintiff clearly states AND presents the contract with the $950 deposit as the first one, where he states he's a landscaper. She was also trying to make a big deal that the contract for the SECOND move to storage stated he was a moving business, as if people can't start/have additional businesses. All I said was she should've been understanding just like in her situation, stuff happens & you have to adjust.
@just4now141 lol...Controlling because she was trying to take advantage of this guys lack of knowledge about moving costs to get a cheap move. Then instead of just being grateful that she got her stuff moved cheap, she wants to get her money back. Calling her controlling was nice. I could just call her the greedy, selfish, opportunist that she appears to be.
Because it was the next day he didn't show up the 1st day remember. He didn't shop the 1st day and he told her and called her at 3:30 PM to tell her he couldn't show up 230 in. The storging it was the next day.
From what I watched the plaintiff is empty headed. She hired a landscaper to move her furniture signed releasing him from liability before the actual move. Then still haven't checked to make sure if anything is broken before showing up to court. Had he had those receipts she would've lost the 950 also because she just pretty much said he can keep it when she gave him another payment for the second move instead of taking it from the 950. She breached the first time and Judge worked it out to blame him for breaching to the tenth power 🤷♀️ Her breach was still a breach. He basically moved her for free.
There was a new meeting of the minds and she paid extra money for it. I think you might be related to this person in the case on the defendant side. You've got some kind of special interest here.
Judge it's not why would the defendant have her sign it. The question is why would the plaintiff sign it. When people see you're desperate they tend to get over.
You don't sign a release before the job has been done. That's ridiculous. If that actually happened all she had to do was pull out her phone and record him saying that.
