Helpful neighbor!

[Shield Arc]

Went back to court this morning. On the way to the court house I stopped by the post office. Got another money order for the amount of $100.00!:shocked: For a grand total to date of $210.00!

Her attorney asked the judge for more time to pay restitution.. He said the neighbor is trying to sell her car to pay us off. The judge said she still owes $100.00 for court costs. Wanted to know when that would be paid in full. The neighbor said she could go to the bank and get the $100.00. The judge gave her until June 10 to pay off the court cost.

The deputy prosecutor informed the judge that the neighbor was given 180-days to pay in full the restitution, but did not fulfill her agreement with the state. The judge ignored him. Later the judge said the neighbor has until June 2016 to pay restitution in full!
Judge seemed more worried about court cost, than us getting our money!

Are judges elected in your county? They are here, and I use my experience with them to guide my voting choices...

Yes they are. Last November the prosecutor got voted out of office for being to lenient on criminals!

The cynic in me thinks he wouldn't have cut her any slack if she owned money to one of his buddies...

IIRC the elected prosecutor is a lady with an attitude about small-timers sneaking below the radar when the courts are busy. Might take a bit of time to collect, but perhaps 'better late than never' if principles are upheld and due process applied.

The 'Boy Scout' in me really hopes the neighbor will chill after all this. It's said that the Lord will judge, but taught that forgiveness isn't His alone. When the poor gal is too old to scrap about little s__ she might warm up a bit, and who wouldn't be considerate of those less fortunate.

I wouldn't be marching over with a plate of cookies with $$ yet unpaid, but neither would I plan to cold-shoulder her forever if she's open to learning who can be compassionate as she ages. We can't predict who'll live the longest, anyway. tog

(flame suit on, just in case .. :laughing

Only the better part of $3,000 to go for you. I wonder if the judge would be willing to wait a year if it was awarded to him? Please keep us posted.

 

[jaotguy]

SIGH ..... I'm with you on this one ... the wheels turn slowly ...

just 4 fun , ask the DA to check if she actually paid the court costs by June 10th ... if she doesn't, he should remind the "judge" and have him issue a warrant for failure to comply ....

I don't think you will ever see your 3 g's. I think the old bat will drop dead before next June. That or whe will go to the Judge with a hard luck story and the judge will give her another year to screw you around.

Best case for him if she does drop dead. He can file a claim with the estate, and get his money from the probate court.

Horrible to think that way about anybody but sadly you might be right.

Got a lien on her house?

 

[Shield Arc]

Got a lien on her house?

Yes I do, for the adverse possession law suit. 12% interest until she pays. For right now I'll use the county's money and resources to get my money for the fence.
She has cost me enough money!:thumbdown:

So how long must you go without payment before you foreclose?

 

[Parkanzky]

It sounds like, in the end (her end, probably), you'll own her property. Whether or not that's worth the trouble is something that only you can say.

I'm sure that you'll get a few thousand dollars worth of satisfaction from finally getting to push her dilapidated house over!

This is the elephant in the room and I can tell you it will eventually bring you satisfaction and much anguish to her. I'll bet she thinks it's no big deal but I have done this and it will work and work well. She cannot transfer that house unless you agree and I'll bet you won't agree unless you get paid in full.

The crazy lady just reeks of what they call trailer trash syndrome. This isn't a dig at someone who lives in a trailer. And I'm not meaning to offend someone by saying this. I had a roommate that was a psychologist and we had numerous discussions on the topic.

Basically what it is. The person is so unhappy about there quality of life or how there life turns out, that they are just miserable. Now instead of doing something to better there situation, (like a better job, or living situation) they instead try to make everyone else around them miserable. Whether it's through harassment, rumors and lies, or other means. Such as frivolous lawsuits, property damage and such. They usually think they have been wronged by the person that they are slandering. And just live for the drama and crap. It's all about them and there perceived misfortunes even though they were the ones who put themselves into the situation in the first place.

Nailed it.

You know, I really don't know:confused2:. My attorney was talking about starting foreclosure proceedings a few years ago. Then the governor of Washington state made him a judge. Then later he got transfered to Eastern Washington.
So I guess my money just keeps collecting interest. Anyway better than I'm doing in the stock market!
