Monday was my twenty-ninth birthday. I welcomed the day in with open arms looking forward to not only what the day might bring but this coming year. My husband started the day off by giving the most beautiful necklace. (us girls love a pretty trinket!) Work was nice. Lunch and cake were brought in and funny card.
But that is where the pleasant day ended. Things got ugly. Real quick.
I was notified by my car insurance company that I was being sued in small claims court for bodily injury for an accident that occurred two years ago. TWO YEARS AGO. Let me repeat. TWO YEARS AGO. I can barely remember what happened last week let alone two years ago!!!
This sleezy lawyer-brother of hers has been trying to locate me by calling my friends and family posing as a long lost friend of mine from highschool. The ends that people will go to just amazes me. He has to locate me before he can serve me with the papers to appear in court.
This whole ordeal has me entirely stressed out. I don't have the means to fly back to California, pay for a hotel, a car, etc. because someone is angry about an accident that happened TWO YEARS AGO. Let me repeat TWO YEARS AGO. Not to mention that I don't have any vacation time at my new job so all this would be unpaid time off. It's crap.
There are some things about "the case" that have me realing in anger. I won't get into them but basically this lady is a liar. There is nothing in the world that crawls under my skin more than a freakin' liar. Makes me want to fight harder to prove her wrong because A) all the grief that they are putting me through, B) the lies being told to my friends and family, and C) she's lying about what happened to begin with. MONEY GRUBBING WHORES.
People wonder why their car insurance costs so much. It's people like this. People that abuse the system. People who try to get something from nothing when it shouldn't be theirs to begin with.
The only positive part is that no matter what the verdict is in court, the insurance company has to pay in the long run. So I may be out my travel, but at least I'm not out $5,000. (that's the max in Cali until the end of the year that you can get in small claims...but watch out, it's been signed in to law that the new amount will be $7,500!)
I'll let you know how this unfolds. For now I'm not going to devulge much more for fear of the wrong people reading this.

I would be crazy pissed, too...at the lies, the inconvenience of it all and the personal cost to you.
On a happier note...Happy, Happy Birthday, kid and thanks for linking me. When I figure out how to do the same, I'd love to link you too.
Miss Jackie,
I've been pretty busy dealing with the BS and preping for Thanksgiving that I really haven't had time for much else. I'm lucky if I get to read any blogs right now. I'll post when I can, hopefully over the long weekend.

Happy belated birthday!
oh, and when you beat this loser in court - countersue for the losses you've incured during the process (ie: flight, hotel, stress)
No worries, all will work out in the end.
