She claims the defendant not only refuses to return the pet, but she even gave it to her stepsister, who changed the dog’s name. The plaintiff claims the defendant and the woman’s stepsister won’t give her the dog back, so she’s suing for the cost of the dog. The defendant argues the plaintiff couldn’t take care of the dog, now he’s in a better home with her stepsister. Then, the plaintiff parked her car on the street and claims the defendant crashed into her vehicle in the early hours of the morning.

    First, the plaintiffs, a married couple, purchased a couch from the defendant. They claim the couch wasn’t authentic leather like they ordered, so they asked for a refund. The plaintiffs say the defendant agreed to give them their money back, but now he won’t, so they’re suing. The defendant argues he brought the furniture to the plaintiffs’ house so they could get a feel for it, but it’s not his fault the couple couldn’t decide what they wanted. He says he never offered a refund. Then, the plaintiffs purchased a car from the defendant. They say the car had a broken steering wheel, and they’re just lucky to be alive. The plaintiffs are suing for the cost of the vehicle. The defendant argues he offered them an upgrade when they returned the first car. He says the plaintiffs destroyed the steering arm, and it’s not his fault. Plus, the plaintiff bought a French bulldog from the defendant. When he brought the dog home, he found out it had a UTI and the deadly virus parvo. The plaintiff took the puppy to the animal hospital, so now he’s suing for vet bills. The defendant doesn’t think she’s responsible because the dog had a clean bill of health when it left her house. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    2026/02/11
    First, the plaintiff bought a German shepherd puppy from the defendants’ pet store. The dog got sick and learned it had a congenital defect. She’s suing for vet bills, the cost of the puppy, and dog supplies. The defendants argue the plaintiff demanded a dog for free and caused a scene in their store. Then, the plaintiff rented an illegal apartment from the defendant. She says her former landlord gave her 72 hours to vacate and even turned off her electricity, which ruined a fridge full of food. The plaintiff is suing for expenses for illegal evictions. The defendant argues he gave the plaintiff leeway when she fell behind on rent. He’s countersuing for late fees, electric bills, stealing his trailer, and a garbage truck. Plus, the plaintiff’s car was parked in a lot when she claims the defendant damaged her car while he was installing a car seat. She’s suing for the cost of the damages. The defendant argues the plaintiff claimed out of nowhere that he nicked her car, but he knows he didn’t. He said the plaintiff’s car has scratches all over the place, so he thinks the plaintiff is just pinning all the damage on him. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

The plaintiffs say the defendant is trying to use the security deposit to pay for her last month’s rent. They’re suing for rent and additional expenses. The defendant argues the plaintiffs were always at her apartment, and she didn’t enjoy that. She’s countersuing for overpayment of rent. Then, the plaintiff wrote a book and hired the defendant to edit and publish her book. She claims the defendant is a liar and did nothing for her. She’s suing for her money back and lost wages in book sales. The defendant argues he is an award-winning book publisher who has been doing this for decades. He says he printed and delivered the books to her, so he doesn’t owe her. Plus, the plaintiff left his Kia at the defendant’s repair shop as collateral for a Jeep he bought from the defendant. He says the defendant sold his Kia behind his back. He’s suing for the cost of the Kia. The defendant argues the plaintiff brought the Kia in for repairs, but the car wasn’t even worth fixing. He told the plaintiff he had 30 days to get the Kia off his lot, and he has no idea what happened to the car. He’s countersuing for the remaining balance of the Jeep.

    2026/02/05
    First, the plaintiff says she lived in the defendant’s house for four years, and when she reported him for no heat and a roach and rat infestation, he evicted her. She is suing for moving expenses. The defendant says the plaintiff was far from an ideal tenant, claiming she was mean to other residents, careless with hot plates, and behind on bills, making it impossible for him to pay his own. He says he owes her nothing. Then, the plaintiff says he was taking his mother to get her nails done and was waiting for a parking space when the defendant backed into his car. He says they exchanged information, he got an estimate, and later received a call from the defendant’s partner accusing him of running a scam. He is suing for damages. The defendant says she looked both ways while backing out and heard only a small thud. She claims the plaintiff pulled up behind her without warning and billed her nearly $2,000, even though she doesn’t believe his old car is worth that much. She is countersuing for lost wages. Then, the plaintiff says she went to the defendant’s salon to get her hair braided, but it was done so tightly that she was in excruciating pain and developed bald spots. She is suing for the cost to repair the damage. The defendant says the plaintiff went to his girlfriend for a sew-in and left happy. He claims he didn’t know there was an issue until he was served with the lawsuit and doubts she had a real problem at all, arguing she would have complained if she did. He is countersuing for defamation. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    2026/02/04
    First, the plaintiff says the defendant, her sister, owes her money for several loans she made. She is suing for the amount owed. The defendant says she doesn’t owe her sister anything and claims the plaintiff is only upset because she’s gotten closer to another sister. Then, the plaintiff says he planned to rent a room in the defendant’s home but never moved in and now can’t get his deposit back. He is suing for the return of his deposit. The defendant says the plaintiff agreed to rent a room and pay an extra $100 a month because he had a large dog. A few days later, the plaintiff told him he was looking at other places because the price was too high. The defendant argues that deposits are nonrefundable, and that’s the end of it. Plus, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant to install an awning on her deck and that he guaranteed both the workmanship and the fabric for 10 years. One year later, she says, the awning collapsed, and when she called him to fix it under warranty, he refused. She is suing for a refund. The defendant says he custom builds every awning and stands by his work. He claims he warned the plaintiff not to leave the awning up all winter, but she ignored him. After a two-foot snowstorm, it gave way and collapsed. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
