O.K. So it's been aYEAR AND A HALF!!!!!
After my ex-boss didn't show up for the court date in September, they had another court date in October for contempt of court. Finally, after about 5 previous no-show court dates, he did show up for this one. (Guess he didn't like the thought of jail!) The judge wanted to know why he didn't show up for the September court date---he said that a week before the date, his son overdosed on Crystal Meth out in California and he had to go bring him back to Michigan. By the time of the court date he (conveniently) forgot about it. And get this-----he supposedly had a letter from a doctor to verify this---it wasn't even on office letterhead----what a joke!!!!
Anyway, I informed the judge that I really didn't care what his excuse was----and I informed her that it wasn't acceptable---(The day before the October court hearing, my father-in-law passed away. I really should have been with my husband and children---not in court trying to collect money that is rightfully mine and that I already have a judgment for.)
Then he tried to inform the judge that his LAWYER (ohhhhh, I'm so scared) said it wasn't right that I was suing both him and the company I worked for. The judge informed him that fact could have been argued if he had shown up at any of the previous hearings---there is already a judgment ordered and he has to pay.
And get this!!!!! He told the judge that he contacted his lawyer the night before and he was going to press criminal charges against me. Knock yourself out!!! Well, it's been way over the 30 days and needless to say, I have not gotten paid. I seriously think he believes he scared me with the threat of criminal charges or that he intimidated me by staring at me the whole time we were waiting for our case to be called. Anyone who truly know me, knows that is so far from the truth. As for the criminal charges, maybe he should start worrying about the ones that he could be facing if certain information was leaked to the IRS. I was the only thing keeping that company together and above board if you know what I mean.
So, now I have to go back to the courthouse and file some more papers.....do you think the clerks there are sick of me yet?????
Trust me, I'm not giving up.....EVER!!!!!!
