Accused of Theft from Rented Home
Hi, its me again. Just to fillyou in on why we are in the perdicament we are in. We lease optioned a home from a friend to help her and us. She needed things moved out of the house we were leasing and we helped with trailer loads to her mountain home. A lot of clean up was needed to move in, We have contracts, before and after photos ect. She said whatever she left in the house we could toss or keep or sale against an outstanding tab she has in our business, all signed. Then We had moved in and 5 days later at midnight a fire breaks out from a faulty furnace. Well as scary as this was but we would work through it. We ask her if she was insured and she said no and that her kids were contractors and would repair the damages. Only problem is That they would break in to do the work and then take some of there moms things that were left and left our unpacked boxes outside with door wide open. After a few times WE told her she needed to get a key from us and give us notice or We would press charges on her kids if they entered agian, she was upset of course and then someone shows up at the house to ask us what we were doing there? Oh my goodness They were the real owners of the house, We could not pack up fast enough to get out of this nightmare. We took our belongings and left a lot of her things that she said to toss sell or keep. We took photos all along. Then the police show up a few monthe later with a felony warrant for my husband for theft????I could not believe it she fraudulantly made claims on things we sold for her and things she gave to us as gifts long before we even moved in. I was shocked and later found out her kids needed us out because they were in the middle of a forced forclosure. To date no one has seen any of our evidence and if she would have told me she changed her mind and wanted these items back, no problem ,We have a resale business and her things only had sintamental value at the time. But she has inflated the values beyond reason and we were unaware until my husband was taken to jail. Now our new x attorney has us in a real pickle. Help.....
Fraudulent claim, Tina again
I'm sorry I am new at this computer stuff, it takes me a long time to find the keys and apply everything right. I did not clarify enough
on my last entry. The house we were in is not the house that was forclosed on. The woman ( our x friend and client) whom has claimed the things we have are stolen, she has grown children that we were having the initial problem with breaking in to do the repairs from the fire, They are the ones we found out from public court records that were going through a forced eviction not us. WE were ready to get out! we just found out that they moved in after we moved out and this is probly why they were giving us such a bad time. Yes we did have all the things appraised and everything was appraised at $500.00 and she claimed the theft was a grand total of $3,900. We wish we could give it back I hate looking at the things. Our x attorney set it up for us once and they never showed, we heard she was in the hospital. fearing that our x attorney might have made another mistake my husband called the civil section of washington county and left our name and number with the head guy and he said if he got an order he would try to call before they came by and we offered to haul everything to the washington county place where my husband is now so I have not heard anything yet but I am ready and only glad to give her gifts back but there are a few items she has just created to inflate claim I guess. Well anyways thanks for the advise I will be watching!!
