I know from experience that when Aarons delivers something to someone, such as furniture or bedding, and they observe the living conditions to be undesirable, many times they will not take the furniture back even if the customer doesn’t pay. They just write it off because they figure the furniture is probably ruined anyway and they won’t be able to resell it. I saw many instances when people didn’t want, or couldn’t afford to make their payments then suddenly…….there’s a problem with my furniture, TV, etc.
Why did she wait a year to file suit? It’s hardly coincidental that she decided to bring a suit now, just when the mainstream media is infested with negative bedbug publicity.
I disagree. When you deal with a certain type of client, they will be the first ones to threaten you with a lawsuit. Sometimes you have to call their bluff to show that you won’t bend over just because they threaten you with a lawsuit.
I am assuming you all are in business. How many times do you have people that threaten to sue you because a situation didn’t turn out in their favor? It costs $$$$ just to walk into an attorney’s office and say “Hi, I need to sue someone please”.
Actually, it costs nothing to find an attorney to take your case on a contigent basis. It is good business sense to try to avoid litigation. I guarantee you that furniture was not worth the cost of a lawsuit. And what point will they prove by going forward with it? They should have cut their losses and taken the furniture back and burned it.
and to top it off in most states if it’s under a certain dollar amount the courts allow you filing pro-se for a filing fee that in some cases is less than $100

This all could have been avoided if someone had just said to her “sleep tight; don’t let the bed bugs bite.”

well depending on the condition of the home they could have thought it was fleas or crabs at first.
A year? C’mon. And I’ve got some swampland in Alaska. Wanna buy it? It’s a great deal.
I never heard of positive bedbug publicity…
Polly, apparently you have never read the “Bedbug Times”. Great little rag.
