This is a rather complicated case, although I thought it would be pretty simple. I'd like to get some (legal) advice please.
My stepdaughter (21 years old) was dating a guy (jerk) who was 38 years old. I was totally against this from the beginning. He claimed to own a business and to be very wealthy. He told my stepdaughter that his accountant had posession of all of his credit cards, and that he wanted to buy a big screen TV. He talked her into opening an account at Best Buy, and purchased the TV on her account. He promised to pay her back.
Needless to say, he has not paid for the TV, and the account is now in collection.
To make this more complicated, my stepdaughter joined the Navy and is currently in boot camp in Chicago. Before she left, we had my wife get a Power of Attorney for her financial matters.
I went to the small claims court to file, and was told that because my stepdaughter was not a minor, that my wife could not file this for her, even though she had Power of Attorney.
Now we can't do anything until my stepdaughter comes home on leave, and we don't know for sure when that will be, or if small claims will be holding session when she is home.
This loser is getting away with a free $1,000 TV !!! He knew exactly what he was doing when he had her purchase this for her.
I know that we would win in small claims as I have several emails from this jerk to my stepdaughter promising to pay for the TV.
Any ideas???
Thanks !!!!
