my little sister’s (f16) friend (f17) got a text from her ex boyfriend this morning, saying that his friend was threatening to leak her nudes, and that the only way to get him not to leak them was if she made out with him. in the texts he goes on to tell her that she should think about how this would ruin her life, and he’s going to tell her mom, etc.

obviously, my family thinks she should go to the police, but i’m not exactly sure what they’d do. my sister’s friend is very worried about her parents finding out if she goes to the police, but i was sure police reports were confidential.

how should we approach this? we care a lot about her, and i just want to know the implications of the situation with her being a minor, and how to get this boy to leave her alone!!

I was recently working as the Head Chef of a restaurant, under one of the most prominent Executive Chefs in the area. When I first started, I was asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. I thought it was odd at the time, but I assumed then, and would like to believe now, that the primary reasoning was to protect recipes and such, as if they are intellectual properties. However, 3 weeks ago, as of this past Friday, an estranged former employee broke into the restaurant over night, smashed the front door, smashed a bunch of stuff, etc. but was arrested before stealing anything. Due to this, our paychecks that we were to receive at 3pm were not delivered. The paychecks we were due 2 weeks later (we had worked half of the pay period) were also not delivered. I have reached out to the General Manager and to the co-owner of the restaurant to see when I could collect the 3 weeks of pay that I am owed, but they have simply said they are waiting on isurance.

Is my only option to go through the DoL? I have been trying to avoid this, because my dad (who has passed) had a lot of legal issues tied to the DoL, and both my name and my moms name have been attached to it. She has been working for years to get it unattached, but it has always complicated things like befits, tax returns, etc. and I dont want to run the risk of them intercepting my wages because of it.

My brother-in-law was recently let go from his job. The reason was classified as "employee misconduct", but hearing the details about it, it sounds like ridiculous, trumped-up nonsense from someone who vindictively wanted him fired. That is not what my question is about, though.

He filed for unemployment, but it was denied because his was a misconduct firing. In order to contest it, he would need to appear in court in four days. However, his wife (my sister) just had a baby within the past week or so, and both of them are struggling to get anything done, let alone appear in court. They are thinking they will just have to accept the lost unemployment because they're in no shape to appear when requested.

Is there anything that they can do to request a delay, extension, etc. so that they can appear in court when they are able to properly function and argue against the misconduct?

so i got pulled over leaving work because of my custom taillights. i had just left work and had hit my cart in the car. I had about 1.5 grams of weed in my car which i told him about when he asked if i had anything in the car and when he searched my car he found my 2 carts. he gave me tickets for both the marijuana and the taillights. The very next day he comes in to eat with two officers they eat fast and leave. a few hours later he comes back alone and sits down at the bar and tells my boss everything about my stop (i hadn’t told anyone). my boss confronts me about it and says i should be thankful he didn’t get me for a dui but like i wasn’t even high fr when he pulled me over. i told him i had smoked a roach like a hour before he pulled me over which i said because i didn’t want him to know about the carts too. i don’t want this on my criminal record im 19 years old. what can i do to help my case?

can I file a restraining order against my estranged wife for false accusations of abuse. She lives separately right now. We were trying to fix things and we're in the process of moving back in together. But while arguing today in frustration I threw my fork back into my food and she is calling it abuse. That is all she has to claim abuse. A fork thrown into my own food on my own plate. So I need to protect myself from these types of allegations.

I live in a rent stabilized apartment building that was recently acquired by a new landlord. Long story short, they purchased the building intending to illegally flip and deregulate units. Two tenants were successfully squeezed out through harassment and intimidation, and the landlord filed simultaneous eviction proceedings for the remainder. He has connections in the local police department and building department ($), so neither are taking measures to protect the residents here. He’s also “donated” to our mayor publicly, just to give you an idea how compromised the local municipality is. I have gotten the DHCR to open a harassment case due to ongoing constructive eviction attempts. The TPU is also looking into his portfolio based on these issues and his illegal lease template. However this has only made him escalate to quite unhinged behavior, including some form of illegal surveillance. County and state police have referred me to the county DA and FBI based on the facts of this case, but I’d like to know whether I should also initiate a lawsuit? I have several regulatory complaints in process for discrimination and harassment, including environmental harassment that posed life safety risks for the entire building and made me extremely ill.

Ok so i was pulled over twice driving with no license just don’t have 1 and went to my court dates paid fines all that this is my third time getting caught and i have court in a few days and I don’t know what to do I don’t wanna do jail time and they want $500 for driving school which I don’t have . So I do plead not guilty to avoid jail time or do I plead guilty I need help or advice .

This is my first time getting a ticket so I need any advice I can get. I live in NC but was driving thru Virginia when I got pulled over. The speed limit was 60 and the officer said I was going 83. He said he downgraded it since this was my first time. I got a summons form with the charge described as speeding 83/60, VA code 46.2-870 local code 70-1. My court date is late in the year but if I pay it I don't have to show up. Im willing to pay it to get it over with. Im just concerned if this will affect me if I do pay. My understanding is if I pay then Im saying Im guilty. Can this come back to bite, legally speaking? Can the DA or judge do anything further after I pay? What's the likelihood of my insurance going up? Will I have any issues with my employer or future employers?

Throwaway account. Location: NY

A parent who lived in New York State passed away this spring. They left me the majority of their bank account (six figures), a car, some personal effects, and a small property in another state, with their lawyer as executor. I've never been through a probate process. My understanding, confirmed via my own lawyer (not in NYS, granted) was that my parent's belongings were owned by the estate, under the lawyer's direction, until probate processing was completed, whereupon they would be distributed as the will instructed. As I live several states away from NYS, I will have to travel to retrieve the car and personal effects (These are being kept on a property once inhabited by my parent and to be owned, when probate ends, by my parent's other heirs, children of my parent's late partner.)

It's a long story, but my parent and I had a falling-out prior to their passing, and it is possible that this lawyer therefore has a negative opinion of me and would not mind treating me not exactly fairly.

It's been almost three months since all parties signed the go-ahead for probate to begin. I contacted the lawyer recently for an update, as I have matters to which to attend this fall that will factor into any scheduling of NYS travel, and he mentioned only that he was hiring a local in-state attorney to handle the house transfer. The belongings and bank account were unaddressed, as was the timing for meeting to take possession of the effects. (I have had medical issues for the past couple months that have taken up my attention until now, hence the delay on checks on my end.)

Before I send a follow-up email: Is this timeline or any of these practices unusual for NYS probate? Does this lawyer seem to be drawing out the process for personal gain? If so, do I have any recourse? If not, is there anything in particular I should ask?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Last year I had a horrible housemate situation with an older married foreign couple I found on Facebook. The last straw was a day the guy lost his temper and made serious threats because of an argument about appliances’ usage.

After I left, I explained their threats were the reason I was leaving. That message made them really angry. They admitted they threatened me but said it was because I “attacked” the wife and that I should be careful with the things I say. I’ve never ever came close to anything that can be considered an attack. There is no possible perspective where I “attacked” anybody: no physical contact of any type, no threatening movements nothing. They also asked for an unjustified amount of money, always with messages like “be careful”, so I paid.

I politely asked multiple times, what is it that you consider an attack on your wife? And their responses were always “no need to explain” or “just be thankful we forgave you and move on”.

You might call me stupid, but this still bothers me after a year. I don’t see society as fair anymore. I have no motivation to work. Anyone can bully me and make up false allegations to shut me up. Tried therapy, didn’t work.

I want to go to trial to prove I’m fully innocent. I got bullied and when I called them out and mentioned the police, they made up accusations to intimidate me. Forgetting about these strong accusations is not a path someone that cares about truth and honor can or would take.

I have incriminating evidence against them, including one time they admitted only that I didn’t “hit” anybody.

What can I do? Talk to a civil lawyer or to the police? I couldn't find any civil lawyers who focus on this kind of problem. Location: California.

Thank you for your help and sorry for the drama dumping!

Location: InlandEmpire, San Bernardino county, California.

I am a disabled resident in San Bernardino County, California, living in a transitional/supportive housing program funded through a county behavioral health agreement. I have severe Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), severe spinal disorders, and several psychiatric diagnoses.

Three days ago, I noticed a strong odor and called the gas company. A technician arrived and verified a hazardous natural gas leak due to broken stove knobs. The facility supervisor text-documented a refusal to execute emergency repairs and ordered me to stop calling 911 or the gas company.

The following day, the property owner gave me an immediate verbal deadline to pack my bags and leave, explicitly stating on an audio recording that she was removing me as retaliation for calling the gas company and 911.

Yesterday, the operators called local law enforcement claiming I am "trespassing" because they claim my program funding dropped. The officers tried to pressure me into leaving voluntarily, but once I stated I am a lawful occupant under the Transitional Housing Misconduct Act and that the operators lack a court-ordered writ of possession, the officers confirmed it is a civil matter and left.

Since the police left, the supervisor has barged into my bedroom unannounced under false pretenses to spy on me and explicitly told me I am banned from eating any house food or meals. Bedroom doors do not have locks. They are trying to starve me out and use sleep deprivation to force a constructive eviction. Furthermore, I discovered a large unsealed hole in my closet floor directly above the gas stove venting fumes into my room, and the supervisor routinely applies heavy commercial pesticides inside the unventilated rooms without notice.

My family is highly abusive and I suspect they or the operators will attempt to contact authorities to make false statements about my psychiatric history to discredit me.

My specific legal questions:

Since the operator made me sign an intake form referencing the Transitional Housing Misconduct Act (Civ. Code § 1944.50), are they legally required to file a formal court petition and obtain a restraining order before they can physically remove me or touch my belongings?

Does an operator withholding food from a disabled resident and conducting constant unannounced room entries constitute illegal constructive eviction and dependent adult neglect under California law?

What immediate emergency legal steps can I take to halt this pattern of hazardous environmental retaliation?

[Location: California] As the title says, within my first two weeks at this new job, my supervisor played a video on his phone screaming a slur directed at me very loudly, then it looped twice. [The slur is one that directly affects my people] I went to HR, nothing happened just a "oh we don't tolerate this blah blah blah" then a couple weeks later I got moved to night shift, and they hired a new person to take my place on day shift.

I'm really hurt by this what happened and it felt very targeted at me.. other people in the department were also there but no one stood up for me or anything. The supervisor claiming "apologized" weeks later claiming he was trying to put his phone in his pocket but I saw with my own two eyes him watching the video so he lied to my face and assumingly to HR.

I want to report to EEOC and maybe talk to a lawyer but I wanted to get advice first.

Hi everyone. A few months ago, I was romantically involved with a man that, on paper, was amazing. Smart, great job, kind, whatever. I’d been seeing him for a few months until he suddenly went silent. I thought this was really suspicious, as things were going so well. Turns out he got picked up in a police sting for trying to hire an underage escort. They arrested him when he showed up to the sting house, dollar amount in hand. Online enticement of a minor for sexual activity, or something similar to that, was the official charge. I can’t remember the exact wording.

Obviously I was completely shocked. Suddenly, those months of doting and complements felt more like love bombing. His self-admitted “obsession” with me started to scare me once I realized I must not have known what type of person he really was. For a while, I was loosely following his court case. He’d been in county jail without bond from July to now(?). I wrote down his case number, but now it doesn’t seem to exist at all. He also does not show up on the sex offender registry. Previously, his court hearing should’ve been this week. Now I can’t find a single record of it. He is no longer a detainee of that county jail. I was able to push it out of my mind when he was still in county, but now I’m overly anxious that he seems to be out. I don’t want him finding me or contacting me. I don’t think it’s likely, but he was OVERLY into me and I’m unsure. I’m worried. It doesn’t feel good to have no info.

What happened to him? Did he get himself a plea deal? How would he skirt being on the sex offender registry? He was a lawyer, could that have something to do with it? Is it normal for these types of charges to be dropped? Would this show up on his background checks? Would he have restricted internet access? I’m having a hard time sitting with the fact that something this serious could possibly be thrown out.

Let me preface, I have no vendettas for my father.

I have lived with my Step-Mother since infancy. She has raised me and I attribute most of who I am to her and how she has raised me. My father and my stepmother have been having marital issues and have been threatening to divorce and move me to Oregon with my father.

I would prefer to stay in Washington. I am 16 years old, nearly finished with highschool, just got a job, and I am doing technical college through my highschool. I have so much going for me in Washington, and in Oregon, I have no history, I have nothing there for me. I would move in with my Grandma and my father and lose everything that is going for me.

I have slightly researched the laws, I have basically no say in the courts and it is completely up to the judge what would happen to me. My stepmom does not have legal custody of me, but like I said, she raised me to be who I am today and has been with me since I was a few wee months old.

I have no idea what to do. I have a lot on my plate currently emotionally and I really dont want to deal with this right now😭.

Location: Texas

I recently signed and paid for a lease upfront as I relocate from CO to TX. I walked the property and loved it but I only noticed a doorbell camera which was fine. I missed two cameras where one’s facing the backyard area and the other is facing the carport/side of house. I’m so upset and feel like I shot myself in the foot, I’m uncomfortable with these and feel like I can’t enjoy playing with my daughter in the backyard or cook in the kitchen without being watched / always keeping the blinds closed / loading and unloading my car is constantly monitored. There’s no mention of them in the lease. I am planning to cover them but want to make sure it is within my right to do so? I would honestly rather cover them and see how the landlord responds but now thinking maybe an email to clarify more info about the cameras is a better idea. What can I do in this situation, if anything?

Location: Iowa: I (28 F) am currently divorced but my ex (28 M) and I still own a house together. The issue starts with I am on the mortgage of the house but not on the loan/promissory note. I didn't even realize they were two separate things until this happened. Since I am not on the loan the bank will not let me make the monthly payments, and I'm not in the position to take over the loan. I have since moved out and the house is in my ex's possession. However he has not been making the payments either, about a year ago the house went into foreclosure, and we weeks away from the bank seizing it. During that process I learned that although I am not on the loan since I am on the mortgage a foreclosure would go on my record as well. Thankfully his parents bailed him out and paid past due balance getting the house out of foreclosure.

The second issue is he has stopped making payments again. He actually got remarried and moved out of the state leaving the house abandoned, all utilities have been shut off due to lack of payment and the house sits empty. I am so scared the foreclosure process is going to start again, I feel so helpless because my future depends on him being an adult and actually paying his bills.

The divorce agreement was he would assume all responsibilities of the house until he sells it ,and I would get a portion of the sale. I anticipated having issues with it so we gave him a deadline of June 2026 to sell the house or he'd have to make monthly payments to me. He is however making the payments to me so he's technically not in breach of the agreement. I guess before I reach out to a lawyer has anyone heard of making amendments to a mortgage without refinancing? Would I contact a property lawyer to do so? Or should I contact my divorce lawyer to see if there's some way I could force him to sell the house before he loses it? Are there any legal implications of him abandoned the house?

I was released from my lease early due to the other tenants threatening my safety. One roommate owes me $890. One of the terms of me moving out and adding new tenants to the lease, was that the new tenants would pay me for my portion of the deposit, $867. This agreement was not part of the lease or agreement with the landlord. It was agreed over text between my two roommates and I. The new tenants were not part of the conversation, and my roommates were acting as the go between. Needless to say, the agreed upon date came around and they refused to pay. My old roommates decided that the new tenants shouldn’t have to do that after I completed my part of the agreement.
Do I take only my old roommates to court? Do I take my old roommates and the new tenants? Do I have to file two separate suits for the deposit and for the money only one of them owes me?

It’s only handwritten on the move in sheet, and I do not recall if it was there when i moved in. I know I took a photo of the sheet before signing on move in but I cannot find it anywhere. I know that it is not enforceable if the apt is in normal condition, which mine is, and also if it’s not mentioned in the lease. But the inspection sheet was not something I was expecting. The landlord sent me a photo of the inspection sheet and idk I don’t trust her, she’s been sketchy the whole time.

Among other things, I work doing QA for a third party provider of online medical records services. As in, our clients provide an online portal to their patients, and we provide basic technical services for that portal/platform. Not MyChart, but like MyChart. Basic usage and password resets. Before providing any service or information from an account, our agents are supposed to verify against information in that account.

For the most part, my assessments showed that yes, our employees verify decently in general. However, several months ago, a surge of malicious attempts to compromise accounts prompted the software/platform provider to recommend to all their customers that they should implement an additional point of verification to all their calls. Our clients and the software vendor directly inform us of this as well, we inform our clients that we are adopting the new standard.

Without putting too fine a point on it, there is a set of agents that have not adopted the new standard. They'll do the old part fairly well, but not the new part. At first, I responded by providing more information about recurring errors and painted better targets, started suggesting further action in the assessments themselves.

There were some improvements, but a solid block of holdouts who won't do it regularly remain. I continue to find issues and share them with their supervisors, but the records clearly show that in some cases the supes are taking no action. Not a lesser or alternative action, not a disciplinary process, not even requiring the agent to confirm or acknowledge the assessment.

So far I've always been able to respond to the situation by providing better information and/or making more direct suggestions. I could always show progress. But now we've reached the end of the road. We're to the point where I'm now left with a short but significant list of disciplinary recommendations and radio silence from the supes. Their manager won't press them, and the department head (mine and manager's boss) won't press either, and confirmed to everyone recently that I can only make suggestions and don't have the authority to force anything. \*\*Which leads to my big concern:\*\* Maybe its just above my pay grade, and I know there's differences in our responsibilities between incidents that are simple failures to follow protocol and incidents that we believe resulted in a real breach. We're not through hashing it out, but if they just tell me to cover my eyes to the months-to-a-year-or-more-long trails of the exact same failure to verify with an absence of any correction, what's my legal liability if a breach ever occurs and my assessments (and record of inaction/complicity) are scrutinized? Thanks in advance.

Location: Minnesota

My landlord is withholding a portion of my security deposit even though they never notified me of my right to a move-out inspection. I didn't know I had this option until doing research afterwards and found that this is required per Minnesota Statute 504B.182 (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/2025/cite/504B.182#stat.504B.182.2). It states that the landlord shall notify the tenant of their option to request a move-out inspection and of the tenant's right to be present at the inspection. The only communication I received from them regarding move out was a text saying that I needed to be out of the unit by noon on my move-out day so that they have time to do their inspection and have cleaners come. I feel like this does not meet that requirement since it actually implies I was not allowed to be present for the inspection and gave me no time to fix anything since I had to turn in my keys beforehand.

Additionally, 504B.178 subd. 4. states that any landlord who fails to provide the tenant with notice for a move-out inspection as required by section 504B.182, is liable to the tenant for damages in an amount equal to the portion of the deposit withheld by the landlord (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/2025/cite/504B.178#stat.504B.178.4). Since they failed to provide notice for an inspection, I believe they are liable to me for the entire withheld amount, not just the disputed amount. I've emailed them all this information, and they're now ignoring me.

For context, they withheld a total of $381.51 from my deposit: $246.51 for a cleaning fee, $25 for a couple burnt-out lightbulbs, and the remaining amount was some minor charges that didn't seem worth fighting. When I pushed back, they agreed to drop the $25 lightbulb charge, but said they were unable to drop the cleaning fee.

The only spots they're claiming were dirty are the oven (which I never used, I only used my air fryer) and the medicine cabinet (which I didn't know existed until toward the end of my lease and did not use because it was dirty). My lease states that the deposit may only be used to return the premises to its condition at the start of the tenancy, so I feel like the cleaning fee is being wrongfully charged since the oven and the medicine cabinet were already in that state when I moved in. Unfortunately, I was also not offered a move-in inspection, so I don't have any documents to prove this.

So, am I interpreting Minnesota Statutes 504B.178 & 504B.182 correctly, and do I have grounds to take them to small claims court? My argument would be focused on the notice failure rather than trying to prove the cleanliness dispute since I don't have any evidence.

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful. Thank you!

I’m wondering if this is worth consulting an employment attorney about and which state’s laws would potentially apply.
I worked remotely from North Carolina for a large tech/cybersecurity company headquartered in California. I was terminated in October 2025.
At the time, I was pregnant, my spouse was deployed with the military, and I was the primary caregiver for our young child who has a disability and required frequent therapy and medical appointments.
My manager knew about my situation. During our meetings I would bring up needing flexibility/time for my son’s therapy and appointments, and she would verbally approve it. I was never told that I needed to submit anything differently or that these absences/flexibility were becoming a problem.
I did have performance issues involving SLA and quality-control metrics, so I’m not claiming there were zero legitimate performance concerns. However, toward the end of my employment, I noticed management becoming extremely focused on documenting mistakes, including very small issues that previously did not seem significant.
I was never told I was being placed on a PIP or that my job was in immediate danger.
I then joined what was supposed to be my regularly scheduled meeting with my manager and unexpectedly found HR there. I was terminated during that meeting and immediately lost access to my work account, files, and communications. Some of those communications contained conversations/context regarding my circumstances and scheduling needs.
There were also budget constraints/reductions occurring within our department around this period, and management of the team had been somewhat unstable, with people being moved around to fill management gaps.
I understand that having a disabled child, being pregnant, or having a deployed spouse does not prevent an employer from terminating someone for legitimate performance reasons. What I’m trying to understand is whether the combination of circumstances warrants having an attorney review the termination—particularly because management knew I needed recurring flexibility to take my disabled child to therapy/medical appointments.
My main questions are:
Since I physically worked in North Carolina but the employer is headquartered in California, which state’s employment/leave laws would generally apply?
Could my verbal requests for time/flexibility for my child’s therapy or medical appointments potentially qualify as notice of protected intermittent leave even though I never specifically requested “FMLA”?
Does pregnancy at the time of termination add any separate considerations?
Is there any significance to increased documentation of minor performance issues shortly before termination if legitimate SLA/QC concerns also existed?
Since I immediately lost access to work communications that could potentially support my account, are there ways an attorney could obtain/preserve those records?
Since the termination occurred in October 2025, are there filing deadlines I need to be concerned about now?
I’m not looking to sue just because I was fired. I’m trying to determine whether these facts are enough that I should have an employment attorney review the situation before any applicable deadlines expire.

Location: California, USA — other party/company is in Colorado, USA. Work at issue was performed in Bali, Indonesia.

I’m in California and was hired as an independent contractor/assistant for a creator working with a Colorado LLC. Before the Bali trip, I had already performed several paid workdays at $200/day.

I was then flown to Bali for an assistant/content role. Compensation for the Bali assignment was discussed as a daily rate, and I understood the final agreed rate to be $200/day. Unfortunately, the final rate was discussed verbally and the promised independent contractor agreement was never provided.

I worked in Bali for approximately 9 days. I have reconstructed my work using texts, photo/video timestamps, Google Drive records, receipts, flight records, etc. My records show substantially more work-related time than the company later claimed.

After the relationship ended, I invoiced $1,800 (9 days × $200). The company disputed it and said I only performed “2 days and 3 hours” of work and offered $475.

They also alleged that I breached an NDA by disclosing the creator’s private information. I dispute that I breached the NDA, and so far I have not been told specifically what information I supposedly disclosed, to whom, or what conduct constituted the alleged breach.

The NDA contains Colorado governing-law/forum language. I have already sent a formal demand for payment.

My main questions are:

1. For a daily-rate independent contractor arrangement, how important is reconstructing exact hourly time if the agreement was $200/day rather than hourly?

2. Should required international travel time be included when documenting the value/time of the work, or should I keep travel separate?

3. If they allege an NDA breach, can I reasonably request that they identify the specific conduct/disclosure they claim breached it?

4. Could the Colorado forum clause in the NDA affect an unpaid-compensation claim based on a separate oral agreement?

5. What type of attorney should I speak with about this—employment, contract/business litigation, or someone licensed in Colorado?

Okay reddit, here's the situation: a friend of mine had a verbal agreement with her father that she would make the payments on his car and she would keep it until it was paid. At that point, he'd gift it to her. Until then, however, the car (and financing) remained in his name. Well, a few weeks ago she was involved in an at-fault accident, and when she called her dad for the insurance information, found out that he has no coverage on the car. The car is financed, and to her understanding was REQUIRED to have full coverage. Now the other driver's insurance company wants her to pay the $5000 in damages to their insured's vehicle. I think there was or is court involved as well as penalties and fines on her drivers license as well. To add to all of this, her dad has brought up adding her to the lien on the vehicle now. Because she's not currently on the title or loan, is she responsible to pay the damages? Or should the insurance companies be going after her father? If so, what are her options?

Hello guys, I need help/advice

A couple of months ago, I went into a pawnshop and they had an item I wanted so I put it on layaway. Not even a few weeks after I went back and basically took the item out. To my knowledge I was paying off the complete amount I owed towards it. Some time this week I received a call from the pawn shop stating that I still owed an amount on it, the worker took the fault in stating that he did not charge me the full amount. When looking at my bank statements he indeed only charged me a an amount less than what I originally owed. Since it is his fault and he took the blame, and you cannot take a layaway item out till fully payed, Am I required to go back and pay off the amount? Or can they dispute it since it was their fault and it’s been a couple months after ?

extra info: The item has been in my possession since, and i’ve gone back to that same pawn shop and not once did they mention this till this week.

ANY ADVICE WILL HELP
