What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I rented a dumpster. There is a problem now that it was returned because the guy says it's too overweight. The woman from the company first told me this and said it would cost me $75. The man then told me it would cost me over $200. There was no written contract but I was informed about the weight limit. But I was also told after I asked him how long could I keep it he said, "For as long as you want." But they left a message after a week that they were picking it up. So in my thinking they defaulted their end of the contract as well. Also, the truck hauling the dumpster caused damage to my property by backing into the driveway off the road surface and his wheel was continually slipping and throwing out all the area next to the driveway. He told me he's going to sue me if I don't send him the money.
I was thinking if it would be a good idea to call him to try to settle this somewhere between what he wants and what she told me first. The way she said it I thought she was scamming me about the weight because she said something to the effect, "well, we'll give you a discount, [or break, I forget], and it'll be $75." Then he wanted over $200. He doesn't know anything about the damage to my property.
I'm really bad at this and have a hard time communicating with people. I would like to do the fair thing but if she says $75 and he says over $200 it's not legit imo. the pic of the damaged area is here: http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/1989/damagedlawn2.jpgWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
