Wow! Thanks for the fast response.
//I see no harassment.//
Filing frivolous lawsuits and trying to fleece $5000 from someone who has been nothing but nice to them isn't harassment?
//In small claims it will come down to who can prove what. If she cannot prove that Joe has her "stuff", she'll lose the suit.//
I have no idea how she could possibly prove anything she has said.
It's just her word, from what I'm aware of.
Joe let her live with him, to help her out moneywise as well as give her a place to stay, for about a year. It was not sexual in nature. He treated her more like a younger niece. She did have some of her stuff there. She had access to his place at any time. She already took most of her stuff from his house. Only her and him lived there. He owns a car shop across the street from his house. I work with him there. She would stop by a lot and even gets her mail there. I saw her many times come and go from his house and I'm only there from 10am-6pm, usually inside. She hardly has $5000 worth of worldly possessions from what I've seen, let alone the few things she had at his place. She also has moved around so much in the past few years, she has all kinds of her stuff at 3 or 4 different places. Some at her husband's, some at her boyfriend's, some at her other boyfriend's. She's all over the place. Nobody can say where her stuff is. Not even her.
She leeches off of everybody and Joe is just a nice guy she is taking advantage of.
She is a convicted felon for writing bad checks and did 6 or 9 months in prison.
She has never had a stable job.
Joe has been self-employed restoring classic cars for 30 years in the same spot. Never anything more than a speeding ticket. He's 56, she's 33.
She has had a heart defect since birth and has had several transplants over the years.
She plays the sympathy thing with people a lot and is always begging for people to loan her money, even though she would have just gotten her monthly $800+ check from the government.
She's the epitome of white trash. She is completely bonkers. Joe has always been nothing but helpful with her and with everybody. He's a great guy. She's a monster.
She needs to be taught a lesson, but for now, I'd just like to see the courts not rule in her favor.
//How often has Joe contacted Lisa about repaying what he alleges she owes him?//
About 3 months ago, he made $1000 down payment on a car for her at a dealership.
The deal was, he was giving her the $1000 for her used truck, instead of selling it to the dealer.
She promised him the title. She never gave it to him.
She said she had the truck sold and was going to pay him the $1000 once the check cleared *rolls eyes*.
This went on for a couple of weeks.
During which time, she had also ran up a $300 cell phone bill, which was under Joe's name.
Joe called her several times, over a couple of weeks, wondering what was going on with the phone and where his $1000 was? On average, from what I saw, he'd call her a few times in a row, usually it went straight to voicemail, to try and get a hold of her and would only do this once or twice a day.
Joe doesn't have time to mess around with this ridiculous nonsense from her lunatic mind.
He works hard every day on high dollar show type vehicles and this childish crap from Lisa is completely not worth his time nor should it be tolerated to be said against his good name. Everybody knows this guy and I have yet to hear anyone say anything bad about him. He helps out anyone, any time he can. She's nothing but a waste of existence.
//Can HE prove that SHE owes him money?//
He does not have any written account, as far as I know.
He has 3 witnesses for the $1000.
Me and another shop worker heard Lisa talk about how Joe was kind enough to let her borrow the $1000 until her used truck was sold.
Also, Joe gave the $1000 himself to the car salesman at the dealership. Joe is certain the salesman will remember this.
I can also vouch for her owing him a few hundred more.
