Small Claims Court - GoFuckYourself.com

I went today for a 9:00 am court date. They moved the court from the Trial Court building to a strip mall. Seriously. There is a Chinese restaurant next door, a nail salon, pawn broker, and another, then another row of stores with Family Dollar, Sav-A-Lot and Eddie’s Used TVs. Right across the street from a rundown city-funded project of about eighty buildings, each housing four apartments.

Parking lot has a curb with no curb cuts or disabled parking. At the end of the building, about eighty feet away, is a curb cut and two parking spots One car without a tag parked perpendicular across both spaces. All these cops and court officials and no parking ticket.

Go inside and wait. 9:20 we’re all called in. First sixteen defendants for Midland Funding were no show defaults. Next ten were Chase Bank, same thing. Ten more were landlords and only one defendant showed up and it was rescheduled for trial.

I’m sitting there, cellphone and iced coffee detained so nothing to do or drink. Finally I get called, only to be told to see the attorney during the break. Quick meeting with her, then wait to see magistrate. Nice guy tells me I’m all set and can go.

I ask how many defendants and plaintiffs don’t show up. 65% plaintiffs, 85% defendants don’t show or call. Paperwork on defendants has to be issued, filed and fines are tacked on. You can go from owing $600 rent to $50/day fees until paid. I’m thinking if they can collect ten percent of the fines, the state would be rich.

I sign documents, collect my wallet and x-acto knife/screwdriver, and realized that a lot of money is made there. $50 upfront to file and in the hour I was there, fifty cases were scheduled $2,500 an hour and they’re there eight hours a day, three days a week. Upfront payment or no filed case and with cancellations or other dropped cases, they’re raking in $50,000/week on average.

I saw at least six deputies and cops, one magistrate, three attorneys, several unidentifiable employees and I’m sure others were there. Rent and utilities are monthly, all those salaries, plus incidentals makes it sound like the city is making beaucoup bucks. Tomorrow I’ll look up the budget and expenditures cause I’m curious.

From my case they got $50. People filed paperwork and it was processed. Copies sent out and filed. Court date booked. Magistrate, attorney and court clerk paid for seeing me. Paperwork filed and processed, sent out and case closed. That $50 sounds like a bargain for all that’s done.

I've been to small claims court once many, many years ago - before I went to college. We (my girlfriend, her friend, and I) had been renting an apartment together and eventually the friend decided to move out and my girlfriend and I decided to get our own place. The girlfriend was (naturally) smoking hot and I took a lot of pictures our last weekend together, mostly of us cleaning up the apartment. The friend was wearing tight pants and a little tank top and no bra so I took A LOT of pictures. This included pictures of her taking down all of the blinds and scrubbing them clean. This was long before we had digital cameras, and all of the photos were time / date stamped. LOL.

Sure enough, the apartment refused to return our deposit. When we asked them why, they said they had to call in a cleaning company to clean our blinds and even provided us with a photocopy of their receipt for payment, which was obviously taken from a receipt book you could buy in any stationary store.

We went to court, we presented the receipt they gave us, then all of the pictures... The judge ruled for us, ordered them to return the deposit plus a small amount for damages.

Hmm, was your court appearance in any way related to this recent thread?

I like these stories, so I'll share mine.

Bought a car in the late 90s from a private seller.
Paid off the bank but the title was not forthcoming after several weeks.
After the temporary plates expired the bank admitted they lost the title and had to get another.
So I rented a car... a red Ford Mustang was 'all they had'...
It was about a month before I received the new title from the bank.
I sent them the invoice for the car (just under 1k) but they refused to pay so I filed in small claims court.
Halfway through one of their lawyers called and offered half and I said no.
A couple days before court I was overnighted a check for the full amount + court costs.
Yay.
