California -- so the other day my sister and I were at a gas station that had a red box. She told me that she'd pay me back if I let her use my card to rent A movie. She decides to rent FIVE movies, which was not a part of the plan, at a little over $8 total. She gives me $5 , says she owes me $3. I'm thinking she's gonna return them before 9 pm the next day so there's no late fees. It's now 4:30 pm the next day and I can't get a hold of her. I did keep one of the disks, which I already returned. She still has 4. I contacted Red box, and their policy is they dont charge late fees, they just charge you $1.99 per disk each day for 17 days. After 17 days they dont charge you anymore and you basically get to keep the disks. Red Box told me for the 4 disks (not including the one I already turned in ) after 17 days I'll get charged a little over $100. I'm trying to get them back tonight, but does my case even apply to small claims court? I'm a broke college student who can't afford $100 for disks.
I think it will apply to small claims because, 1) I didn't agree to let her rent 5 disks, I thought it was only one, 2) she told me she would pay me back, she eve gave me $5 and said she owed me $3, and 3) I didn't agree that she was allowed to get me charge late fees (I know technically by Red box's conditions they arent considered late fees but thats just what I'm going to refer to them as)
Thanks for any advice!
