00:00She wouldn't give me my dogs back.
00:02My husband had paid her $7,000.
00:06That's a lot.
00:06Just a second.
00:07Let's go through it.
00:08How much did she tell you
00:10she was charging you per dog, per day?
00:12She did not tell me.
00:14It was $90 for all three dogs.
00:16I gave her a discount.
00:17It was $40 for each dog,
00:19but I gave her the second and third for 25 each.
00:22$90 a day?
00:23A day.
00:24And it was 196 days.
00:24And you told her that?
00:25Yes.
00:26Put your hand down.
00:27And what did she tell you about her ex-husband?
00:29She told me that he would be paying for a portion
00:32and to please contact him.
00:33I did contact him.
00:34And then I have also messages where she says
00:37she will see what he can do and she'll pay the difference.
00:40May I see those, please?
00:41Yes.
00:52$90 a day times six months.
00:54That's 180 days is $16,200.
00:58Her husband paid you how much?
00:59$7,400.
01:00She did come one time and made a $30 payment.
01:02Do you have any other texts from her about money?
01:05Do you have any texts from her
01:07that you want to talk to me about money?
01:08No receipts and no texts.
01:10I have multiple texts from the week she was going to pick up
01:14that says she'll sign the paperwork of balance owed.
01:16May I see it, please?
01:17On pickup.
01:24Top ones are most recent?
01:25They're in chronological order.
01:28You tell her, Ms. Turpin, and you acknowledge
01:31that you have an obligation,
01:32which you indicated you have an obligation
01:34to pay the balance.
01:35You said, I will sign the agreement
01:37when I come to pick them up.
01:38Thanks for your help.
01:39She has discussed with you a payment plan.
01:42She said, we need to discuss plans on the remaining balance
01:45and whose money can work with you on the balance?
01:48I have no money at all.
01:50That's what you answered her.
01:51But she says to you,
01:52my financial agreement originated with you
01:55and although he has made payments,
01:57the obligation still lies with you.
01:59I can send you the invoice and you can discuss it with him,
02:02but I am tired of being in the middle,
02:04which is where you put her in the middle.
02:05She says, I will have an invoice for you this week
02:08and a plan needs to be set no later than the 26th
02:12and you respond to her,
02:13I will sign it when I come to pick them up.
02:15Thanks for your help.
02:16That's actually before I saw the invoice that she sent me.
02:19She sent that and then sent the invoice.
02:22How much was the invoice for?
02:2310,000.
02:25The dogs were there 196 days,
02:28so it was a total of 17,000.
02:29I just put down 180 days, okay.
02:33It's a balance due of $10,240.
02:35You understand that the maximum judgment for me is $5,000,
02:40which she owes you, clearly.
02:42Now you have a ridiculous counterclaim.
02:43You say that she neglected your animals
02:46and she harassed you.
02:48Are you kidding me or what?
02:50How did she harass you?
02:51She was calling me all the time.
02:53For her money.
02:54Is that why she?
02:55No, not for the money, no.
02:56What was she calling you for?
02:57To talk about her personal problems
03:00or whatever was going on in her life.
03:03You're telling me that she was bothering you
03:05with her personal problems
03:07when you want her to embrace your whole family
03:09and understand you're going through a hard time
03:11with your house, a hard time with your ex-husband.
03:14You want her to embrace that
03:16when you never saw this woman before.
03:17It's like going into a butcher and buying a half a cow
03:20and then saying, I can't pay for it.
03:22And then the butcher says to you,
03:23you know, I got my own troubles.
03:25I've got a wife, she's annoying.
03:26I've got a kid, he's not working.
03:28My other one came home from school
03:30and they're living in the living room
03:31and I don't have my peace anymore.
03:34Are you kidding me?
03:35You're just supposed to say, I know I owe her the money.
03:38I should have made a payment plan with her.
03:40That's what you should have done.
03:41And she was prepared to do that with you.
03:43Did she ask you to sign an agreement
03:45when you came to pick up the dogs?
03:46Yes, for full payment.
03:48Just a second, for full payment.
03:50Had you said no and you called the police,
03:53you would have been charged for the plaintiff
03:54in the amount of $5,000.
03:55Your counterclaims dismissed, we're done.
03:56Thank you.
03:57Parties are excused, you may step out.
03:59I said if I didn't give them the dogs,
04:01which I was willing to do.
04:03Because she wouldn't give me my dogs back
04:05and you can't keep them.
04:06That they would have to arrest me
04:08for she was filing theft charges.
04:09You can't hold animals ransom.
04:13I was mortified.
04:15For payment, you have to go through the legal system.
04:18Honestly, flabbergasted at the audacity.
04:20You can't play with their emotions and hold them.
