The Troubleshooter 9-25-24

Yeah, ripped up, didn't need advice, So you don't happen.

We come running just as fast as we can. Shooter's gonna help me come. This is the Troubleshooter Show. No, Tom Martino, Hi, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. What's going on? We have a lot happening here. By the way, I did post and I found out why I posted yesterday an error without audio, But I did post that segment that I condensed that was on the show this week earlier, where an older woman was basically saved.

Her life was saved due to a neighbor calling the show.

The show then prompted our deputy to go out, and Deputy Bow.

Went out and with the name, and then they called nine to one one and had rescue go in.

Aurora police previously refused to go in several times, and despite the neighbors concern and the relatives concern, and the daughter's concern, and I remember saying on the show the other day, boo on them, but rescue went in. Now, by the way, Aurora Police at any time could have called fire and rescue to go in, but they didn't. I don't know why they didn't, But that video is posted on our YouTube channel, Troubleshooter Network.

But Deputy d he went and talked to some people. I don't know.

You don't have to say who you talked to, But you talked to some insiders at the police station.

So what did you find out their limitations were? What did you find out?

Well, this is before BA went out there. I called a friend of mine who retired as a lieutenant from the APD a couple of years ago, and asked him what keywords dispatch would need to hear in order to break and enter, and he said that there are no such keywords. They in absence of exigence circumstances such as seeing a body through the window, they would not enter the unit because they are afraid of getting sued left and right, including by the city attorney or the district attorney themselves.

Why would they be sued? I mean, then, why can emergency? Why can I the the fire and rescue go in.

I didn't ask him that because my focus was specifically on the police response. But he is willing to come back to the show and discuss the limitations on police response to such calls.

Okay, but in essence, they can't just go into a place unless they actually see something or maybe.

Hear something exactly.

It's not by laws, by their policy, which is limiting their liability and exposure to lawsuits.

All right, three h three seven one three talk or as you see the number right here if you're watching on YouTube or streaming is three oh three Martino three oh three six.

Two seven eight four six six.

Frank, he wants to talk about an issue with a short in his car or in his jeep.

What's going on? Frank?

Yes, Loo, Hi Frank, what's going on?

Man?

I bought a twenty sixteen Jeeps Renegade and it's had wiring problems like a short in there since I bought it.

And wait, when did you buy it? Man?

When did you buy it?

A year and seven months ago? And this has been going on since I bought it?

And what is the issue.

The issue is every time that every time the water gets the rains or snow water gets in somewhere, it it messes up all the the check engine light comes on, other lights on, the cluster comes on. And now it came to the point where rain the other day when I was Mamar Colorado visiting.

At rained real bad.

The next day it would have start, and then it finally started a couple of times, a couple of tries, and I just put a new battery in it and finally started. And then after I started it, it wouldn't give. I wouldn't There's no there's no RPMs in the motor. You give us some gases. It's just is just idling.

Okay, hold on, We're going to get someone on who is an electrical expert. Sheridan Auto Tech has an electrical division, so let's see if we can describe this to him and get some answers. So you hold on, Frankie came to the right place the Troubleshooter Show. Hold on three oh three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Now Oscar says he has a follow up from two weeks ago. Oscar not sure what is going on, but let me I'll find your original call.

Of course, as.

You're talking, so Oscar, spill the beans.

Brother.

Two weeks ago, we had a couple of people on the radio with me and they did a boat sail that I thought was a scam, and we worked through it. At the end of the radio call, they were willing to just give me the title and it was all done and.

Oh I remember, wait, wait, I remember something about that. I'm trying to find it. Did you use the name Oscar when you called in?

I used James, but Oscar's my legal name, so.

Okay, okay, yeah, that man. That happens so much with people. I can't find the damn problem. But okay, I'm looking, and so I remember them saying, because of all the problems you were having, they were going to allow you to simply keep the They were going to sign it over to you and you didn't have to pay it off.

Yes, that's what they said, and we waited two weeks. I reached out to them to say, now, now.

Who handled that? What deputy handled that for? I still can't find that dang call. Do you remember the date you called?

Approximately approximately two weeks ago on a Monday is what I'm thinking of, Monday or two?

And who handled the problem?

It was you, But I can't remember the deputy's name, to be honest, because my mind.

Was okay, okay, I'm sorry to lay all that on you. I just trying to find so because why I had to find it and then call them back. So what happened? Did they ghost you or what? Man?

What happened?

They stopped, They wouldn't answer for like three days, and.

Then when they sent me a thing, they just said they'd rather deal with it in small claims court.

Now, So where are they locate? Where are they located?

Denver?

Denver, Colorado's why did they lie to us about that? I just don't understand it. What kind of boat was that?

It was a pond tune boat?

What was the name of that.

I mean, I'm trying to find find anything to do with searching here so I can find the dang thing. So I just remember, weren't they even on the show with us?

Yes, they call I messaged them and said we were on the show, and they called in. Yes, yes, we resolved everything. And then now they decided to change their mind and they want to go to small claims court again. And it's just that's that's why I thought it was a scam.

They weren't honest from the beginning, and as you can see, they're not honest.

I'm trying to find dang it. I just I'm trying to find my what I'm trying to find my my deputies.

Doc. Do you recall this as a Kachina, do you recall it that we can't do? Yes, oh, thank you, dear.

I believe it.

Was assigned deputy Chopper.

Okay, he's out of the country right now, but that helps me search it, okay.

And and also I can tell you that we definitely did have the owners on of yeah, and they came on the air and they were very forthright and said that they were going to resolve this. So I remember me not sure what's going on, but it was definitely about two weeks ago.

Okay, good, And so we're gonna have to get up. We're gonna have to call them back. You know. I hate to do this to you, but because I can't find my notes just this second, I want you to at least do me number.

Yeah.

Yes, they said they would just sign it.

Over to them. Now why and by the way, we'll use it. You can use that in court that they prompt not that they did a contract with you, but it just seems weird that they would do that.

You can definitely look up the episode and use that in court for sure.

Yeah, and that's what I plan to do for sure, because it doesn't make sense.

This is not an ad No, this was as as tech was another one. Never mind, that was a different guy. Okay, well listen, hold on, Okay, we'll come right back to you.

Frank.

What it does is when he gets wet, a check engine light, it's always a guarantee that always comes on. Other lights on the clusters start showing up. It came to the point where it didn't want it. It didn't want to start, and it has a new battery, and I did and then it did start a couple of minutes later. And then there was no RPM in the motor at all when it was running.

It was idling.

But you go give a gas and it wasn't even doing nothing with the RPMs with the motor. It's just like sitting there in idle. You put it in reverse and then it had some power. But when this happens, it happens when it rains and snows. But then when it dries, the weather dry, when it's all hot and everything dries, everything goes back to normal.

Okay, have you had that? If you go through a car wash. Do you have any issues?

Yeah, yes, sir, the same thing.

Huh, okay, well, we definitely got some water intrusions somewhere.

Yeah, so what happens, Well.

We got to find a water intrusion. So I'm sure there's going to be corrosion, almost like a flood. Car is going to leave signs behind it. Where the water.

Where do you start?

Bro Uh have.

You had windshield done recently?

When I?

Uh, when uh, there's a you know, check this out. When I first bought the vehicle, whoever had it before neglected to turn around and to do anything about it. But right there on the driver's side, the window up up on top of the windshield.

It was leaking water.

It was leaking water for the longest time. Even what if the floor saw the floorboards and then they replaced they took them back to the dealer, they replaced the rubber around the wind windshield, and uh, that didn't help.

Okay, Well, yeah, there's there's ways of fighting leaks.

You know.

We use the smoke machine where we can fill you the whole vehicle with smoke and watch for the you know, for it to be leaving the car. Basically the reverse instead of putting water on the outside, look and see where it comes in. We'll put the Oka mccarcy where it comes out.

Oh bro, that's cool. Hey, listen, where are you located, Frank?

I am located in Westminster.

You're not far no matter, now.

Do you would you?

Guys?

I have I do have a warranty with the vehicle that I purchased.

Uh what's it called?

It is called.

No man, I believe remember this, Remember this.

Warranties. Warranties probably will not cover water intrusion or outside outside uh influences, They just don't.

But you can look at it.

I have Larry Miller one hundred and fourth. When all when when this was all, you know, the check engine light and all the fights on the clusters on. I took us there and sat over there for two weeks.

And that was the only vehicle.

And I called and they said they're not done with it. I said, I need to pick it up. I said, that's the only vehicle. I'm walking back and forth to the store and I'm getting up there in age where I can't I can't be doing that. And so I went down there and picked it up, and they charged me almost three hundred dollars for one day of diagnostics and they didn't even and then as dry, I said it dry, the sun's out and dry. You check l

No, no, no, listen, man, Kevin will look at it free real quick.

He'll he'll give you some ideas.

Just just do a quick overview of it and look. It may be very obvious.

On Colfax West of Wadsworth, Shardan Auto tech dot com three oh three four five five seventy forty two. Kevin always happy to have you on. And Frank, let us know how it goes, bro please and and uh really, uh.

That's what we want to know.

We want we want to follow us because we'll keep going until we get this done. Now I looked up your original call. You are absolutely right. You did use the name Oscar, by the way, which is good.

Well, we do have an update.

Okay, hold on, I want to recap for those.

Because people join us in the journey.

People join us all the time, and I want to recap. But basically, he bought a boat and they did say that they would sign the boat over to him. He bought a boat from Adam Neil mckintrick. His wife was his Gretchen, and they're from Boulder, but he bought it while they were in Florida. Is that right? So far? I got the right call right? And she called in after they heard about it, and they said, you know what,

Forgive the balance to.

You said, what did you say?

They did wrong? And I want to recap that.

On a boat motor there's two separate parts, one called a lower unit like a transmission, the other ones called the motor, which is upper unit.

So what happened was they.

Said, oh, there was a hole in it or something, and they didn't disclose it. They said there was an oil leak, but you said there was way more trouble than they disclosed. And technically you bought it as is though, didn't you?

Yes, But like I said, there was a lot of weird things that went on with the sale and it was just very odd. And that's why when they finally.

I understand, but you bought it sight unseen? They said it was leaking. They said they didn't know about the whole. Now I want to I want to clarify this because I remember now this day and I have these notes and and and here's what I want to say, because you bought it as is, and they did say there was some kind of oil leak, and you said, yeah, way more than an oil leak. There was a hole. And they said, we didn't know about the whole blah blah blah. But but technically this was going to be

I do have an update about this.

And you called and talked to him. What did they say?

Did I did? He blamed everything on his wife, and he said his.

Wife should have never offered to.

Basically give the money back, but now he just wants.

To there was no money back. The wife never offered to give money back. The wife said they would simply sign the title over right right exactly. And what did he say? She didn't have authorization.

To do it.

And they're going to have to work it out in court. That is what he's obligated to. But the funny part is I had called him from three different numbers here at the station, and he called me back on two different ones and hung up as soon as I answered the phone.

So he's hiding, yes, and he can't leave a message. He's a crook. And that's what this whole thing he lied about the boat. He tried to get me to pay the full amount. The engine turned out to not even be good. And it's supposed to be leaking in the lower unit. The engine is the upper unit. It turned out to be no good at all. The only thing good on the boat was the leaking lower unit.

You know, you know what.

Taking the small claims court and you can mention this show and all of it.

Yep, I have the recordings. Good good, I'll figure it out in court. But that just tells you what type of scumbag that you deal with sometimes.

Yeah, yeah, I mean the man is The man is a scumbag in my opinion, because you know, don't tell me your wife didn't have authority, you chaven his pig bastard. Don't tell me that. Crav I am so tired of people, I am tired of lying, cheating, ripoffs. Now, having said that, let me go back to the transaction. He did tell you there was an oil league bro, Yes, okay, well, there was an oil league. You know, I don't know why you went through with the deal. Let me get

Anyway, They had had a mechanic look at it, and he said it was the lower seal And I made a mistake.

Trust me, I learned my lessons.

But take him the small claims court and we'll follow this one along for sure. Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Hey mckintrick, I'm not a big fan of you either. I kind of think a scumbag. In fact, I might put you on the sleeze brigade anyway. By the way, someone who is of character you would never Frank Ran the real estate man dot com.

It really is thank you for not abusing it.

But I get all of your messages, and those who ask questions can attest to the fact that I personally answer them.

That's my commitment.

Seven four zero nine nine nine fifty two eighty seven four zero nine nine nine fifty two eighty will address the topics both personally and on the phone, on the text or on the show seven four seven nine fifty two eighty. And of course the other text is the short code for iHeart, which is five seven seven three nine. So all right, what's going on, Martha?

Yes? I had leased out a airbnb for the twenty third of this month.

Have you done? You leased it, meaning you're renting for the twenty six You said.

No, I had rented it starting the twenty of this Oh.

Okay, suck. And so you were renting it? And what was it?

Where was it?

It was on a wrappa hole in Liverpool?

Oh? So why did you do a local airbnb.

Because I'm trying to find a house?

Oh?

Because I had sold mine?

And when were you gonna When were you going to leave the B and B?

I was supposed to leave on the October twenty third.

So you were renting it for a whole month.

Yes, I was going to rent it for a whole month.

Now, now let me ask you something. Are you using the right term?

It?

Was it bed and breakfast or was it some other kind of vacation home by owner?

Well, they haven't listed as a furnished Airbnb.

Okay, got it?

Got it?

And what happened.

Me and my husband showed up on the twenty third to to look at it and to rent it and to stay there. And the gentleman seemed very nice at first when he introduced himself. He came down and introduced himself to us when we drove up.

And after that, now were you getting Was this a room? Let me ask you. Was this a room and a home or was this a whole home? Or was this an apartment? Tell me what it was.

This was a basement unit.

Okay, got it? Bath okay?

So then what happened in his health?

Got it?

The gentleman was very nice at first, and then after that he went upstairs to his home and I called Lisa, which is the one that I'm supposed to be dealing with when I rented the place, because I sent her the money and the deposit, and she said, if you have any issues, you need to call me and let me know what's going on.

What was the issue that you Why did you contact Lisa? What was the issue?

So the issue was the heat in the basement was cold, and I asked them to turn up the heat because the heat is controlled by him upstairs.

Okay, that yeah, that's gonna be difficult because basements are always cooler.

That would that would probably smoke him out. But Martha, when have you really needed heat this? Uh? Since the twenty third? Really? I mean when have you needed heat?

I needed heat because I'm cold. I'm I'm usually a cold person.

Yeah, this is gonna this is gonna be a hard one.

So what did what did Lisa say?

She checked with him and he said that it was seventy four upstairs and I it wasn't seventy four downstairs?

Well, of course not, of course not. That's that's that's the most places, especially an older home.

How old is his home?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I mean, Martha, I get it. I get what you're saying, I really do. But but was it intolerable? I mean, what was the temperature downstairs?

I was cold? I didn't I couldn't. I couldn't stand the cold it was. It was the low seventy four for sure.

No, I get it, I get it. So then what happened? I mean, I don't want you. I don't want you to think that. I don't want you to think that I I don't think you have a case. But in some cases like this, it gets to be nitpicking. Could be unless it was really untolerable and you don't even know what the temperature was, you just know you didn't like it. So theoretically, let's just say you wanted it way warmer and it would and it would smoke him

Did you move out?

I did.

I didn't want to stay there because he made us so uncomfortable when he came downstairs and knocked on the knocked on the door, and he came in waving his hands and goes, I mean here to check the temperature, waving his hands around, and he goes, I don't know what to tell you. It feels like seventy four and hearing it feels it's seventy four upstairs. So if it's if it's going to be a problem with the heat, it's not going to work.

Okay, So can okay, are they keeping did you pay the whole month up front. I did, okay, Uh, how much would you pay.

Two one hundred plus thirteen hundred dollars deposit?

Wait a minute, and you paid two thousand, one hundred you.

Said, yeah, plus a deposit. How much was the deposit?

A thousand, three hundred?

Now is he.

Keeping everything including the deposit?

They told me that I couldn't get my deposit for sixty days?

Was that in the contract?

That's what she's saying. Yeah, it's per contract, Martha.

You're not going to want to hear what I have to say. I think you're going to lose it. I think you'll lose this case if you try to take it to small games court. Maybe you want to try. You don't even have any proof what the temperature was. Are you out of there now for good?

Yeah?

I don't mind calling Lisa. I don't mind having one of our deputies. I'll have D or Doc. Who wants it?

I mean, Doc? Do you want to do it?

Doc? Or what? Yeah?

I'll I have a question though.

They're giving her back her twenty one hundred and they're going to give her her thirteen hundred.

No they're not, No, they're not.

They're going to give her back her deposit of thirteen hundred in sixty days, which is reasonable. They want, okay, what they do with the twenty one hundred for the rent. They're saying, she rented it and she's moving out on her own accord. That's what they're saying. She moved in two days ago. They're saying, tough, you moved out. We didn't kick you out. He just said it's not going to work, meaning he's not going to turn up the heat.

Degrees very comfortably, very very comfortable.

A space heater, Martha.

Not even a space heater, I mean, what about a sweater. I can't believe, Martha. And again, I'm sorry, I don't want you to feel bad, but I can't believe it was that bad.

What did your husband say about it?

Well, my husband's usually a hot person, and for him being hot, and he indicated, yes, it was, it was cooler.

Than normal than.

Maybe it was.

What about a sweater?

It's a temporary lodging for a month. Am I?

No, I'm asking for feedback. I'm serious.

Am I being unreasonable? And I usually ask my morons and my texters? Am I being unreasonable? You don't. You don't have to uh, you don't have to agree with me. I just don't think. I don't think it was worth leaving without at least getting some proof. I mean, we're talking about you did what was called a constructive eviction. You literally left, and now you're going to try to get your money back. I'll bet you. In the agreement

Yes?

Yes, okay, I'm not going to be treated.

Like that and treated like what he said. It's really hot and I can't turn it up any further.

It's not going to work.

I mean when.

You no, I know that, and I I'm not disputing that.

I'm saying, let's say you're one hundred correct. Are you saying a sweater and maybe some sweatpants couldn't have helped, at least temporarily for the month.

You probably could. Why should I have to change my clothes just to be accommodating for myself?

Thank you, Martha. We'll see it. Take it easy. I was gonna call. I'm not even gonna call on this one.

That's totally in my opinion, that's totally unreasonable. I want opinions, give me, give me texts, and give me calls.

That is totally unreasonable.

Well, listen, in life, come on, man, in life, there are times things are not perfect. There are just times things are not perfect, and your ride with it. For God's sakes. If you pick battles each and every day like this, you're not gonna get through life. Now. If it was so terrible and you're like, oh, you're so cold, that's one thing, but come on, really, I'm not you know, I got people with real problems.

I'm sorry.

I know I know that that somebody referred it to the show, and I should be really nice to her, and I'm trying to be nice. But why should I put myself out? Why should I wear a sweater? It's for a month, and really, am I wrong? Are people going to say, hey, you're not a consumer advocate because you don't care to each and every desire and whim of people who feel entitled to some kind of I mean, really, I'm sorry, I gotta take a break.

Okay, now, Chris, what's going on? Hi? Chris?

Hi?

Tom? So, I don't know how much you know about it? Are been told, so I'll try and do my bust to.

Well, it's been summarized a little, A little something about your daughter in sports?

Go ahead, Yeah, So.

My daughter attends of private school that specializes in learning disabilities. She's been there since sixth grade. She's a freshman in high school.

Now does she have learning disabilities?

She does?

Okay?

And when you say a special school, it's not mainstreamed with special program like an Individual Edge Occasional program what they call an IEP. Or is it a separate school?

So it's a it's a separate school, So it's not it's not affiliated with like Denver Public schools or Terry Creek schools. Is it private supper private school?

Okay? Got it?

Okay?

And so she's an athlete. She loves sports and a few years ago she really in particular got into running track and now cross country, and she's probably the most disciplined person I've ever met my life, super hard working and that has really really paid off, and she's doing

And many times, like I don't know about for private schools, but for homeschooling, they allow sometimes those children to participate in school sports.

Yeah, so absolutely so. The current team, the girls team, consists of my daughter and another girl who is sporadically there because she participates in another sport. So generally when my daughter goes to practice, she's just running by herself.

So she goes, what do you.

Mean when she goes to practice, is your girl going to another school to participate.

No, So, the school that she's at right now, they have a team that participates in two A three A. Well, I won't say they have a team. They say they have a team that participates in two A and three A cross country, but they don't have enough girls to actually feel the team. Oh, my daughter just participates individually. She goes, so and she's doing very well.

When you say she participates individually, I'm still confused. Does she participate individually at another school or in this school?

She doesn't. At her school she participates, so her school goes to like a larger event. So like last weekend, there were like twenty and.

Your daughter's the only one representing her school.

So at this particular meet, it was her and the other girl who actually who went, So the two of them went and represented they and so.

So you literally have people from all these other schools and you have two girls from that school.

Yes, okay.

And so in the specific event she ran last weekend, she she individually, she won the event, but her she doesn't have a team, so the team didn't get points to win, but she won individually.

Is kind of how it goes.

And there were, you know, around twenty different schools there. So we've been back and forth trying to get a waiver with chessa a waiver for what for her to participate at another school that actually does have a team. And the idea is like, really, she just wants to meet other girls and she wants to run with other girls rather than like running by herself and practice and then participating.

But now when you say a waiver, so you have to have a waiver to do it. Let's say they did not have a team. Would you be able to just have or participate.

Or not what would normally happen, You would still need some sort of waiver. They'd have to allow you to do it. So they have I don't know what to.

Do other kids. Do other kids at private schools have such waivers or are you trying to plow new ground.

So they other kids do get waivers. So if your school does not have a specific sport, So for instance, if you went to just a Denver public school and you wanted to play water polo and your school doesn't have a water polo team, but another school somewhere does, you could get a waiver to participate at that school. Theoretically they could give you that. So the problem that we're kind of running into though, is when we reach

And if my daughter wasn't there.

You who approves this special waiver the school you want her to.

Go to, So Chasa has to get involved.

And then who is chasa?

Chassa is the governing body of all Colorado athletics and they have all kinds of issues with is.

That chasaha SSA?

I think it is. So it's actually a private entity. It sounds like it might would be a government entity, but it's a private organization.

I get it. So when you try to process, when you try to process a waiver and it do you have to as part of the waiver you have to declare that they don't have a team at her school. Yes, And because the school refuses to acknowledge that, you hit a dead end.

I hit a dead end. And for two reasons this she feels crazy. Like Number one, so she's she's attending a school specifically because of a learning disability. And you know, we've had meetings just in terms of her learning with Denver Public schools where Denver Public Schools say yeah, this is the best place for her, absolutely, and now she's attending a place that's the best place for her does not have a full team, and then she's essentially.

Not I know you're saying.

You're saying she's being penalized for having disabilities because she's forced to go to that school and that school only has two girls on the team. What I want to know is this, So the requirement is to get on another team. Is that the current school she or anyone is at must not have a team?

Is that the rule for everyone?

So it is the rule for them, but it's a little bit more nuanced than that, so they well, but.

In other words, they're not singling out your daughter.

They're saying, no matter who applied to us or wanted a waiver, if their school has a team, they can't do it.

So that's a real simple answer, Chris.

In another situation, not involving your daughter, if there was a child who did not want to participate on their team and wanted to go to another team, would they be allowed if their current school had a team.

So I'm going to add one thing to that. It's it's pretty close to that.

I know what you're going to add that her school doesn't really have a team. But please help me out. I'm trying to parse through. This is the reason they're giving that she has a team, and that same rule would be applied to anyone. Is that's a yes or no?

It would, But I want to add one. There's a distinct.

Just go ahead.

What's the difference in JB and varsity? So if they were to still say that they had a junior varsity team, then there would be no issue. But because they say they have a varsity team, which but they only have, you know, two students, which that still doesn't constitute a team. And then I'll explain why that doesn't constitute a team as well.

At the school.

Their size to participate, to have a team, to participate and field enough girls for a two A or three A school, you have to have five girls. They only have two. If it were a larger school, you would need seven girls if it were the largest schools. I get it to field a team. And so the idea that they continue to say that that they have a team just but.

Why are they doing that? It seems to me the school I don't think no, no, no, no, I wait, wait, wait, we can all agree. No one's going to say no one's singling out your daughter saying we're going to make it difficult for her, right, I mean, this is just red tape?

Is that right?

It is?

It is just red tape.

Okay, So why would the school then insist they have a team if there's only one and a half girls.

The only thing that I could think of is like thinking toward the future. If they so, they would have to change their their status to like a JV school, which a lot of a lot of independent or private schools tend to do because they tend to not have enough or have a lot of sciences at a high level. Why they are you know, sticking to this and like I I mean, that's the only thing that I can think of that they're looking that, like, oh, in the future, perhaps will have enough.

There are a couple of things. There are a couple of ways to tackle this.

First and foremost, I do believe you have a special case. I really believe it, and I really believe it is a case for discrimination the fact that she's falling into this category. And I also believe Americans with Disabilities Act would apply. If you got an attorney to file a lawsuit. Now,

So I want to say anyone theoretically could go there, but knowing the school as well, I mean, it is really just what is.

The disability we're talking about?

With a nonverbal learning disability and then very slow processing which has been diagnosed from Are.

Most of the kids there with disabilities or not?

Yes? Yes?

Okay?

Now are there any kids there that don't have learning disabilities?

So they label a lot of many of the students as like twice exceptional where you know, and they're diagnostic certain things that they tend to score mo on and certain things maybe even exceptionally high on.

I mean, I got to know, all right, Next question, Next next question here, next question? Have you have you consulted an attorney for disabilities?

No?

Okay, Now there is another way around this.

Time for an insurance check up free, no obligation comparison call Compass Insurance paying too much your coverage at dozens of insurance companies find

Eight two five five. Okay, Wow, this.

Is a weird. This is a weird situation, and we're gonna have to put this in someone's hands to do some investigation.

Chris. Another way around this.

There are things where there are individual educational plans where people have actually enrolled in one school, but the IEP makes it necessary for them to attend most of their classes, if not all of them, at another school, but tech they're enrolled not in that school.

Did you ever explore that?

I have not explored that yet, but I can also imagine an issue that extends this a tiny bitch I wish. I'm also kind of concerned about SAW. I actually worked at another private school, and we've considered my daughter went there through fifth grade, and she could possibly go here because it does offer like additional services that could help

You know what they're trying You know what they're trying to prevent?

Right, I do? I do know?

Now tell me what they're trying to prevent them What do you think it is?

They're trying to like creating super teams.

That's exactly right, You're you're wise. That's exactly they're trying to keep people from manipulating so they don't have to move.

They just have to create a super.

Team even if they move.

This rule applause no what I mean is what I mean is they're trying to keep that from happening, that people could sit where they want, have kids go to another school, build.

A super team.

They're trying to I understand why they have the rule, and it doesn't always apply. I get that, I get that, but but really I just don't understand why her current school is insisting they have a varsity team when they do they.

Get funding for that? Do they is their funding for that? What? What downside would there be for them not.

Having They have a lot of sports that are purely junior varsity, and I don't know if it's a way to just like have an additional sport that they list of being, you know, we have X amount of varsity sports. I really don't know what.

The well have you ever asked them? Have you ever asked them?

I mean, it seemed like the point that they were getting at is they wanted to build a program over and have.

You Okay, but they didn't, but they didn't.

Have you ever asked them if they would consider dropping the varsity designation for track?

I have and they said, so it's great, it's cross countries. This particular thing is cross country.

Yeah, I have and yeah, they're.

They're not willing to do that. So we've had many conversations because I did.

They say why they are not willing to do it.

I don't think I have a good reason why.

Now I'm going to ask that original question again.

I'm going to ask the original question again.

Are there other situations where a team where a school does have a varsity team, but a player goes elsewhere?

So No, I don't.

I don't know.

So if they are actually a varsity team, you know, say they were a varsity basketball team, the student would not be able to get a waiver to go elsewhere. The only thing I would imagine, though, like if you had only four players on a varsity basketball.

No, I get it, I get it. There's not enough to make there's not enough to make a team. Look at you don't have to keep telling me you don't consider it a real team. I understand that the question I'm asking is not whether it's a real team. But if a school declares it has a team, doesn't preclude them from playing elsewhere? The answer is yes, it does. In fact, I have someone texting me who is part of who is part of the Colorado High School activities. C it's it's c H SAA. Yes, And they told

Yes, yes, and elected the school. So they contacted the school and they talked to the athletic director, and the athletic director, you know, reiterates that they have a team. So I'm just like going in a circle.

But does the athletic director say there are five kids on the team, one kid, one and a half. What does the athletic director say.

I'm not part of that conversation. I don't know what he told them, But in our emails, like I've made it clear to the person on Chassa's side that they only have two girls on the team.

I want to recap this for people, and if they have suggestions, I want them to text me, and I'm recapping it for one of our deputies. I'll probably give this a deputy d over here. Here's what it is. His daughter has a disability. She goes to a small school. There's only two kids that participate in cross country, and really only one the other girl comes sometimes. Because of that,

When they really don't.

And he would like to socialize his daughter with other athletes and get her on a real team. That is okay. So I believe that we should talk to the athletic director at the school you're at. We should talk to the Activities Commission Association.

We should talk.

I mean, really, come on, this is just and Americans with disabilities. We should probably contact someone, some attorney who deals with the Americans. Don't we have an attorney, an angel who deals with Americans with disabilities? Maybe just for housing, I don't know, but let's try to find one. Please, anybody listening, help us out. Chris, I'm gonna put you on whole Deputy deal be getting a hold of you, Kachina, get him the contact information. Three oh three seven one

Tom a man?

What's happening with you?

You have a connection Tom doing good? Thank you? Then you have a connection with Ticketmaker.

Now, Kachina, do we have an angel over a ticket Master?

Suzanne would probably no better. I can certainly thought we did, but anyway, I thought, we don't know if we still have one.

Do you have a list of our angel list?

Okay, well we'll look, but it doesn't matter, Richard, we can still put someone on it.

What's going on, man?

Well, a couple of months ago I bought some tickets to a concert, and about a month ago I got an email from Ticketmaster and the email basically said your your ticket transfer is on the way to tis some random name, and so.

Did you buy them? Did you buy them through ticket Master?

Yes?

Okay, yes?

And so I pulled up my account a ticket Master and all six of my tickets support transferred without my authorization or or anything. And so I called right away and put in.

A So somebody, somebody, what do they do hack or to hack into your account or something?

I guess so I'm not big.

Well, let me ask you something I don't know. In general, when you buy tickets and Ticketmaster, can you have them transferred if you want to other people? I mean, yeah, that must be like a regular thing, right, Yeah, And.

I'm a little bit older and I'd rarely go to any concerts, so I really don't buy anything on Ticketmaster.

So yeah, yeah, let me ask my I'll ask my girlfriend. But in any case, uh, what happened then?

So anyway, so I called right away and put it in a fraud report and they said they'd get back to me within three to five days. Ten days later, I called and, uh, check them up. I hadn't heard, and they told me to wait. So long story short, I called a couple of times and both and two or three times they told me just to wait and try. They'd call me or email me. And then so I followed up again today after not hearing from them. It's spent about three weeks, and the person on phone today

So okay, here's what I found out for my girlfriend. Tickets purchased from Ticketmaster can be transferred to other people. And there's two conditions. One you have to have an account. Two they have to have an account, they have to log in you have to log into your account and transfer it.

That's the only way it can be done.

So there might be restrictions based on tickets if they're really VIP tickets and all that. Who are the tickets for.

Yeah, it's for Alan Jackson and they are premium seats for it.

No premium seats. But it's not like a concert that people are dying to go to.

Right.

Oh no, I mean it's I don't it's not.

I mean it's not the same as a tailor swift ticket or something. So uh no, okay, So here's the deal. Someone hacked into your account. Do you have a two party verification or or a second or whatever they call it. Do you have where they text or email you?

No?

Not, I don't think so. They when I when I call in, they text me.

But that's wait wait wait when you when you log into your account or do you you do log in, they don't text you an nothing.

No.

Oh man, we got a problem here. This is happening to a lot of people. How the hell did they get your log in information?

I have no idea. And you know important part of the problem too, is well, the big problem is the fraud department. You know, never contacting me and just close the case with doing nothing.

Is your password for the ticket Master account the same password you would use elsewhere?

No?

Okay, who did they the guy that they transferred to, the woman who do they transfer to?

Let's let's try to find this.

Yeah, I've gotten an email address which is b hold on No, no.

No, not on the air.

We might do it off the air.

You have somebody's email? Did you email that person?

No, this is just from the email I got from Ticketmaster. It has their name and their email address of.

The person of the person who now has your tickets.

Yes, and it's definitely a scam email.

Well, okay, what is the email? What the hell?

What is it?

And d w C six six five six six at gmail dot com.

Did you try emailing it? No, d w C d w C six six five sixty six yep at Gmail, So they they may have just opened up a temporary email to do this. Do you have the person's name they were transferred to.

Yeah, it says just Block j I. S h l o. P.

Wait, that's the first name, j Shlop.

Yeah. Well that's the first and last name.

Yeah, okay, the first name is just j I. S.

H Yeah, who the hell? And what's the last name?

Block?

L O P that?

Come on, bro, is there such person?

Go on face, let's come on people, let's go. Let's go search for these people. I mean, is there a such person? No, just launches. No, No, I don't see anything, is uh man?

They even probably faked the name. I don't know. This is crazy shop.

That's why it's crazy. I think the fraud department justosed, didn't do anything, just closing.

Well did you call him back and say don't close it?

Yeah?

I called him back.

And today, well today I'm talking to and put in another request.

But and is this a concert in Denver?

No, it's in Oklahoma.

Oh you were going to travel to see Alan Jackson? Are you sure it's not good? Josh? Is it just or is it? There are a lot of Josh lops.

No, this is just Jay I agent, maybe by mistake lop and uh and it's Alan Jackson.

And I can't believe that ticketmaster won't do anything about this. Listen, uh b bow, Deputy bus, Let's call Ticketmaster and find out what There's got to be somebody a ticketmaster that'll do something about this. Okay, this is weird we have hold on.

So this scam is really bad, folks, really bad.

So it is a ticketmaster scam where people are well the ticketmaster doesn't perpetrate the scam. But people are hacking into accounts and they are stealing the tickets. They're basically transferring into a to themselves. Obviously this name isn't real jish Lop and the email address is undeliverable, and uh so you need what are they call that? I call it second party verification, but it's not. It's called I don't know, it's called two that's what it is. Two

Just you logging in.

Now the the the other.

Thing people are doing.

And Apple does this, and this is what I love biometrics. I think biometrics should be everything, absolutely everything. A fingerprint, I mean, or iris, no one can no one can hack that. So when I log into my a lot of my accounts now it does facial recognition or it does fingerprints, but I think only Apple devices have that option. Right now, hang on, and we're gonna we're really gonna take all of these calls, so just hang on. Now, why does it say that Don's been on? Has he

I don't mind if you can help me. So I've lived in my townhome community about eighteen years and they towed my vehicle back in two thousand and nine illegally took them small flames courts and they ended up losing, so in revenge.

Wait, how'd they lose? Why did they lose? That's unusual. Why did they lose?

Okay, so they towed my car after three days. You know, I had a junky old pickup truck because I drive over the road and I would take it out to Common City and park it there for it.

But why why did they Why did they tow it though? Did it not have a registration?

No, it had a flat tire.

Oh yeah, they call that incapacitated.

Right, but it was in my parking spot.

No, I get it. And how did you win? Tell me what happened? How did you win?

Because my law they can. They got to put a note that we're going to tow this car, and then they got to wait three more days before they can tow it.

Well, actually, actually that's that's a new law, and there are new restrictions. However, there are exceptions to that law, but apparently they didn't apply to you because you won, so you took them to small claims court and got your money back.

Well, no, I got money plus.

So anyway, how much did you win?

I've won like six dollars?

And do you rent there? Do you rent there?

No?

I own?

I'm okay, okay, that is very unusual. Hold on a second, I'm going to come back to you. Who did you sue the hoa? Yes, you are really the man. I want to talk to you about this and more coming up.

Three oh three seven one three talk. That's the iHeart number.

My number twenty four to seven is three oh three Martino three oh three six.

Two seven eight four sixty six. Welcome one and all.

I think we discovered, as this show often does, we discover scams, ripoffs, and and all kinds of schemes before anyone else. And then of course you see them show up on TV and and I love the their trick.

They claim, of course they.

Investigated it and uncovered it and such a game.

But those who listen to this show hear about things weeks and weeks and weeks in advance.

And one thing I'm gonna tell you.

We discovered a scam, and I looked it up, and there's a lot of people complaining about it. Their Ticketmaster accounts hacked into and the tickets transferred out.

What do you do about it?

He's pretty serious. I don't know what you do about it. Who's handling that? Who did we give this to? Bow?

So bo? Did you get his information? Are you checking on it?

Of course the email that they transferred it to, not the email, but the email's undeliverable. A lot of times people start a temporary email, so that was a BO.

He's looking into that.

And then we had don We want to go back to who lives in a town home community and he has an issue with an HOA.

First and foremost, he won.

He took him to small claims court and won when they told him because they didn't toell him, according to the new law, they have to give him notice. Now that applies all except when you block traffic, or you're in a thoroughfare, a right of way, or someone else's a spot. There is no they don't have to give you warning and all of that. But in his case, they definitely had to give him warning and he won. So now what continue your story? Don you've lived there

Okay? So then on that falling by eight months later, ten months later, in June or July of twenty ten, ten, they took away my parking Wait.

Wait two thousand wait wait ho ho ho two thousand and ten.

Yeah, this is my car was towed in two thousand and nine, and that's what.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, there was wait wait wait, hold hold on when you went to small claims court it was back in two thousand and nine. Yes, yes, there was no requirement for warning back then. But I don't know how you want. I don't want to I don't want to get I don't want to get into it. You won, so I okay, So they told your car nine they in two thousand and nine. Okay, okay, got it? So why are we calling about this now?

That's well, that's not the problem. What happened after that, even with me, They took away the parking spot that I hadn't runed in my garage where they towed my car from.

And then and then oh hold on, okay, so the HOA took away your your parking spot in what.

Year in twenty ten.

Okay, okay, I don't know where. By the way, people, when I tell you, people think chronologically.

This is a prime example.

He started out in two thousand and nine, we're now in twenty ten.

So what happened to keep going?

Okay, so you know, so now my parking spot is probably.

Why did they wait? Wait, what was the excuse for taking your parking space away?

Okay? So they said I was parking in the filing, which this is wonderful because in the same exact tho, because the main drag goes right past the end of my driveway and the neighbors to the west of me can still park art of there.

Did they give you? Did they give you another parking space?

Yeah?

Over and away over by another hole.

Okay, I got it, I got it. Okay, so keep going. They took away your parking space near near the townhouse, okay, and and okay, got it right in my garage.

And so with doing that, they had to take away my neighbors next door to me to the east the same way. So we're the only two people out of eighty units that can that park them.

I get it, I get it, I get it. So so but keep going, Man, I don't know where we're going with this story. This is only twenty ten, and we're okay, go ahead.

Now, I'm getting to it. I'm getting to it.

Ees, I hope you do. Okay, you sure we don't have to go through twenty twelve.

Okay, keep going.

No, no, no, no, we're going to jup right to present. About six months ago, door Dashin, I met this lady who's an arbitrator, and we ended up talking about townhomes, about things, and she told me that they're required by law if they're going to move parking spots, that they have to do a parking study in order to change spots in the town home community.

Okay, don she's wrong. Do that she's wrong? Oh really, yeah, but let's let's not go there here. I got another way, I got another proposition. Okay, let's assume she was correct. Okay, let's assume that in two thoy ten they did not go.

Through the proper procedure.

Let's, for argument's sake, let's say that's true. They did not do it properly. In twenty ten, you are so past the statute of limitations that you could never do anything about it ever.

I mean my parking spots now mine, no matter what, even though I'm the only one singled out for this, it's.

Been fourteen years. Yeah, I know, and like I said, I didn't know, Don, Don, I'm gonna listen, Don, I got it, seriously, Bro, I got to take some other calls now you know you are.

Can you give me a lawyer I can talk to you about h please, That's why I called then a lawyer.

Yeah, let's see a lawyer that does.

Okay, you want to pay for a consultation. We got to find a lawyer. We don't okay, okay, okay. Brad O'Brien O'Brien legal Services. He's a real estate attorney and he can talk to you all about HOA. So, Brian O'Brien legal services. Brad, his name is Brad O'Brien. Let me give you his number. Here's his number, seven to zero three seven zero seventy three.

But can I talk to you as a friend here? I really, I really do want to talk to you. Don't waste your time, okay, don't waste your money. I'm serious, Bro, I mean, why would you well.

Because I fall. I have to walk across a whole thing lane of ice. How are you you set up with the sun? I have to subverse ice and I have eight.

But do you understand this condition has existed for fourteen years? Do you know what the statute of limitary? Do you know what the statute of limitation means?

Yes? I absolutely do.

What does it mean? No? No, you don't know what does it mean?

It means if you only have a certain amount of time to address an issue before times the clock starts.

And there's two different there's two different statutes of limitations. There's one that goes from the discovery of a problem and then usually goes two or three years, okay, depending on the offense. So you're going to say you discovered it when.

I've just discovered it in like juno.

Okay. Now, because of that discovery clause, and because that could indefinitely extend lawsuits, there's another statute limitations that goes along with it. It's called it's called an absolute.

Statute of limitations. Okay, Now do you know what that means?

I'm not not not.

It means that no matter when you discover it, no matter when you discover it, don't if it's past usually ten on the outside. Some have an absolute statute of limitations of twelve years.

Oh okay, so I'm even outside that got you.

I believe you're totally outside of it. And I don't think you have a prayer. But call Brad O'Brien, spend your money and find that out for yourself. That's okay, you should get legal advice.

I don't want to give you legal advice.

Well, like I said, you know, they they did this through a retired fire cheap is how what's that done? Changing the fireplace done?

It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter, Okay.

I mean you can still call if you want to spend you know, like I said, I'm not giving you legal advice. You know there might be some crazy way. Hey, do me a favor though, if you because you're so tenacious, you took them to court nine years ago, act you or whatever in two thousand and nine, I mean, and you won.

Here's a story on CBS News from just a couple of months ago.

Uh is that local or is that national?

National?

The network itself, a cyber criminal group claims that stole personal data belonging to more than five hundred million Ticketmaster customers.

And so that's what happened, bro, Your your account was hacked? And what did they say? They could get access to the account?

Yeah, I mean you could if you have this down on this. So they had everybody's user name and password.

Yeah, that's what the cyber criminal group claims. And if you do a keyword search, you get page after page after page of very fresh, very recent stories and videos.

So bo scam bo. Okay, he's working on this. Make sure you tell him about it. Send a link to bow will you or send a link to Kachina. Do you have an email or.

Only have your email address?

Okay?

Send it to help at troubleshooter dot com and to me, uh, kachina, get that to bo. So when he talks to them, they feel a little responsibility for helping.

For God's sakes. Now back to back to Byron.

Byron says, his brother sixty five and uh is not taking care of his finances. He's on painkillers. Yes, and you think, do you think he's incompetent?

Well, obviously it's not what most people do. Most people open their mail and pay their bills.

Now, remember does he live alone?

Yes?

Does he get.

Dressed in the morning, does he shower, does he groom? Does he travel? Does he drive?

To some extent of course? Yes? Yeah, well so yeah he drives. That he probably he should not with the painkillers.

Without him voluntarily, without him voluntarily allowing.

You to take over, it's not going.

To happen without a court of law declaring him incompetent. Unfortunately, once that happens, he can't live on his own.

Right. He's actually in rehab right now and he probably will not get out of rehab, although he's under the delusi that he will. You know, how there's always hope, right, How does.

One stay on pain killers for fourteen years?

Now forty years?

Oh? My god?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, how do you do that without dying?

Well, that's a good question. I mean we've we've been trying to figure this out for years. He's been managing. I mean, you know he'll go he's got pain and management doctors, and but.

Usually you build a tolerance and you never ever get relief. I mean, come on, forty ye? What what doses?

They change it up?

It doesn't matter if you change it up, even if you go from one to another to another. It has to be literally more dosage. And then here's what happens. There's no secret. You become more sensitized to pain therefore, and then less sensitized to the medicine. So you have to increase the medicine, and your pain is even more than it was in the beginning. And then you keep increasing medicine because you don't feel it until your heart stops. That ask prince. I mean, you know, it just happens. So,

Oh, morphine? Probably ninety milligrams a day.

Let's not that's impopp I mean, I can't believe it's only ninety milligrams.

After all, this time.

Well, and then he's on a dilauded too, he'll.

Do oh oh my god. So he's stack Okay, that's called stacking him. He's stacking him.

Yeah, they're stacking him for him.

Usually that before they kill you at abound. There are people that have been gone as high as two hundred, two hundred and forty milligrams of something and add it up or whatever and then you're dead.

But man, yeah, I don't so I have no idea how I mean, ninety grill milligram sounds like a lot to me, but I don't really know him.

Well, it is a lot, but but to I mean, listen, man, it is a lot. But there are people that tolerate it. You build it up.

So no, and I think his he gets hell. So he's in the rehab place right now, which basically nursing home, and he focuses really on three things. One is his pain killers obviously, one is his TV, and the others his food and that beyond that.

Well, those are the three essentials in life. Well that's what drugs, television, and food.

Yeah, okay, you know I've expanded out to about five things in my life.

But Kate Byron listen, here's what I want to know.

If you not want to know, I want to tell you if you can get the doctor and yourself and then some to say he needs art for guardianship. Are you ready to take that on man?

Well, yeah, I would be happy to do that. My sister would be happy to do that too.

And that's what you need.

Two family members and a doctor.

Is that what it is?

What it is?

Yep?

Hey, deputy doctor, are you there? I'm here, Tom, Deputy Dock in coompetency, right, two family members and a doctor.

I never dealt with the elderly patients, Tom, most of my patients who were under sixty five, so I really rarely dealt with incompetent incompetency.

So I don't know the laws.

I don't know the.

Laws, Okay, I just I know from past cases it's been a it was something like that. But I'm asking my girlfriend declared legally incompetent. Okay, I believe it is though two family members and a doctor. And of course if there are no family members and then let's see.

So my girlfriend is saying.

It involves filing a petition with the courts. Okay, it requires exactly what I said two family members and a caregiver, or a family member, a caregiver and another party. So three parties. You petition the courts.

That's it. You file a petition and then the courts hear it.

Okay, Okay.

Sometimes the courts, if the guy protests a lot and the court sees it necessary, they may order an independent evaluation.

Okay.

So it's really.

If we needed to get that independent evaluation part that was part of it, because that could be I don't know, it could be complicated and expensive. I don't it could be expended. I don't really care about that.

No, it's not going to be. It's not that. It's not that expensive, by the way. Okay, And here's what's here's what's crazy. If you do it and take over as finances, you can reimburse yourself.

It's true. And it's not you know you can't. Well you're allowed to do that.

So what what income?

This is the one that needs to be reimbursed for all her time, that's for sure.

What income does this guy have?

Oh, very very low, he's got it. He's probably worth two million in assets. But it's oh, it's all what.

Did he do for a what did he do for a living, a farmer.

Okay, jeez, how does a farmer get on pain killers?

Well, he had some pain when he was young, and he had, uh, your broken bone, and and I honestly, I can't tell you whether it was justified or not, but it is. You know, when you go and ask for pain medicine from doctors, especially back in the eighties or nineties, you know, there was no real limitation on that.

I know it. I know it, my god.

Now it's it's a lot harder. And he keeps, he keeps, he keeps worrying that he's going to get his pain. Doctors are going to kick him off.

You know. Here's the thing about. Here's the thing about pain meds. Here's the thing about. Have you ever been on pain meds? Byron?

No? Not really?

I mean right here, here's I don't understand well, and I'm talking about like opiates or the like.

Now here's the thing. Here's the thing.

I don't understand what it is. But this is a reality. Some people can get on pain meds and it.

Never ever affects them.

They get off them once they've been on them, they get on them six weeks, they have to get off they get on, three weeks, they get off, and and it's like amazing to me. It just is one of those things where people aren't affected. Then there's another group of people who take a pain pill and something about the way they're wired. It just flips a switch. Well, it's not that they get hooked. They want to be hooked.

Old I was.

I had such back problems and it was like hurting me like crazy. Somebody that this doctor prescribed me some a painkiller, and I remember the day when I took it and my entire world changed. I thought, oh my god, I never knew life could be so wonderful. I'm serious. That was my first host. So here's what I did.

And I don't know why.

I have no idea why some people are wired that way?

Why do you think? I mean, you're not, And he is right, that's weird.

So and my dad was on the same situation. He had had back being since he was eleven. It's from a car accident, and so he was on killers his whole life. And of course they work together, and I, you know, maybe he got it from there. I don't know, yeah, forward from there.

I asked. I asked a doctor one time, why are some people wired where it just fills in all these gaps? I you know, I swear to God, I mean it would be like it's a road to nowhere and then you die and you know, and I I I wonder about that and and people say, well, no, you know, addiction is a physical disease and and there's nothing you can do about it. And that's bs because it's attitude you have. You have to say to yourself, all right, I'm not doing it, you know, And that's behavioral. I'm

To my brother, he was fifty years old and never took a drug in his life, had shows with surgery, and after he stopped after three days, he had such withdrawal symptoms they had to bring him to the hospital.

Doc.

It wasn't even withdrawal, it's a mental thing. It's just this.

You get physical withdrawal sometimes, well, of course.

You can, yes, but it takes a long time, doesn't it.

No, That's what I'm saying.

It took him.

He was after for two days and he had only been on it for about a week and he went into withdrawal.

Hi, Tom Martino, your troubleshooter three O three seven one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five Man? Do we have to have interesting discussions on this show and people learn so much?

Love it? Let's talk to Lauren Lauren? What's happening?

Hi?

Hi Lauren? Oh, what's going on?

I took my Hi, I took my car to a Firestone to get an alternator replaced. With my car, they had to remove the air conditioning to get the alternator.

What kind of car is?

Then that came twenty ten Nissan Morano. Okay, yeah, And so I came back that I got an oil change that came up, that I had an air conditioning leak. So I took it back to Firestone, like, hey, you guys are the only ones that touched the air conditioning. They're like, oh, it wasn't us. These things just happened. I took it to them again, like, look, it was working just fine before I brought it to you guys. Oh it was just a still.

How long how long after how long after the service did the ac leak show up?

I would say about a month after. I have multiple sclerosis, so I don't drive very often. But that being said, I do have a medical condition that I have heat in tolerance. I get busy.

No, I understand that for sure. Yeah, Lauren, where did you take it for service?

Firestone?

Just a normal Firestone one particular one.

Uh, it's a Firestone on eightis. And Wadsworth, a friend of mine, helped me with the alternator because I'm on disability as a fixed in its like well, yeah, like I've done business with Firestone. Take it there and so I didn't know and.

They did the alternator. Everything else went well. Right, they got the alternator and all of that, right.

I mean, that's questionable because I was even telling my Grappa when I start the car, my car has driven really bad ever since they worked on it. I was telling my grandpa, like, I recorded a noise it was making after I started, and he's like, that's a bad alternator. So I just took it back yesterday, like, oh, we think the alternator's sad. They kept it all night and today they were like, oh, we didn't find anything wrong with the alternator, but the sound is gone.

And when when did they When did they do that alternator? Originally that was in June? And was that for Is that for a new alternator or just did they fix it or what a new alternator? Okay, now right now where we sit, what's the problem right now?

The air conditioning because my air conditioning doesn't work. And then I took it back to them like hey, it has a leak and you guys touched it, and so they drained all the free on like, oh, you can't use your air conditioning until you get a six and they quoted me like eighteen dollars, but they said.

It's not but they said it's not their fault.

Right.

Yeah, They're like, well, we had to take it out in order to get to the alternators, but we didn't cause the leak.

They had to take what but what they had to take hold on? What did they have to take out? That's the part I'm confused about.

They had to take the whole air conditioning unit out to get to the alternator career.

That doesn't sound That doesn't sound correct to me. Something is missing. I want to get Kevin Colkin on one of my auto.

Experts and Okay, there's.

An expression, and I want you to take this the right way, Lauren. There's an expression in the car in the car business, it is once you touch the car, you own it.

Now, what they mean by that is when someone.

Works on a car and they're blamed for everything that goes wrong with it afterwards. Now I'm not saying they shouldn't be blamed. I'm just saying it's common and I just want we have to make a connection here. Now, how many miles on this car?

About one hundred and twenty five.

Okay, here's something else I need to tell you. And the reason I'm telling you all of this is is kind of a dose of reality.

So we don't go nuts.

Let's say, for argument's sake, they broke the AC.

Now, one can make the argument.

The AC was fourteen years old, and it was. It has one hundred and twenty five thousand miles on it, so the AC may not have been one hundred percent perfect to begin with.

I'm just gonna I'm.

Just an old car.

No, no, no, no, I'm gonna brace you for this. Let's say they're one hundred percent responsible and they broke it. They still may not be responsible to pay one hundred percent of the repair. Now, I'm not saying they shouldn't help. If they caused it, they should pay for whatever damages they caused. So let's say, on a twenty ten with one hundred and twenty five thousand miles, they ruined your AC. They certainly don't have to make that AC like new. They have to make it like it was, and that's

Does that make sense to you?

Yeah?

Yeah, okay, it's it's It's the same way as if you were in an accident in that car and somebody destroyed it.

They wouldn't have to buy you a new car.

They only have to get you a car comparable to the one that was destroyed.

I'm I'm not even sure they broke it.

They may have. I'm gonna ask Kevin about that. Right after this, go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing dot com. You don't pay a cent until you're content. Time for an insurance check up free, no obligation. In comparison, call Compass Insurance paying too much your coverage at dozens of insurance companies find out now three oh

To that, possibly broke the plug off, you know, for the electric clutch something like that. That's purely easy. They're pretty lightweight plugs. Just not paying attention and just bump it and crack it. I mean, if it's still got a charge on it.

Yeah, well they're saying there's no there. They took it all out. They said it's going to cause eighteen hundred.

Bucks to fix.

Would you be able to look at it and see if it was broken because of them doing the alternator or if it was just wear and tear or whatever in a coincidence, because remember the expression, you touch it.

You own it.

Yeah, you own the whole car, absolutely, but you.

But you can kind of discern that, can't you?

Typically yes, yes, all right, So.

Would you do?

Can you do us the honors?

Where are you located?

Lauren serve at it?

Yeah?

Oh cool, he's on Collfax west of Wadsworth, Kachina.

Give him the information so she can check it out.

Yeah, we'll be happy to check it for Kevin.

I also want to ask you another question after the break on the normal life of ACS. Well, maybe you tell me what's the normal life it's it's fourteen years old.

Yeah, that's getting close to the end of it. But you know they they go fifty fifteen years.

Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Solving problems, answering questions, taking complaints, making your life a little easier if we can a number of topics we've been covering will recap when we have a chance. I want to talk to uh, let's see Dave a question on car insurance.

Welcome to the only show that it's kind of anywhere, Dave.

How do we help you? Sir?

It's Martino. Hey, I called you yesterday and you answered my question insurance. That's what I want to do. I want to gift my car to my mother. She doesn't live in Danversits and Clublow. So I called my insurance company see if I could add her on my pology and they said no, if she is there different she don't live up my address. That's all right, I'm fine, Jack are getting non owners that's only liability. They won't cover my damage on my car.

Or wait now, wait a minute, wait a minute, what are you trying to accomplish? I got to get to that first. What are you trying to accomplish, Dave?

Well, like I said, I'm gonna give her the gift for the car in place for her. I have so many cars.

Right when you gift her this car, why can't she just buy her own insurance?

Okay, that's the question. She's going to check into that. But I owe money to a bank still on the car, I got food coverage on it.

Oh yeah, you're gonna you're you're required. You're required to have collision coverage and you can't gift the car. If you do, they can call the note do off. So what here's what you do? If you can add her to your policy, she doesn't have to live with you if it's her car, not her car like you can. You can switch the title of the car, but you're still responsible for the loan. Let me get compass insurance on Okay, you know what, why don't you hold on?

Thank you? Uh Savannah has a question.

We get quite a bit now with the new mailers going out from Excel Energy and uh Savannah, welcome.

What do you need to know about?

Hi?

Yeah, so I.

Got one of those mailers that you've been talking about for ten percent off your electricity if you sign up for the solar farm thing.

Right, But Excel does not.

I don't pay Excel for my electricity bill, so I just.

Don't know how.

Oh wait, who do you want that benefitness? Who do you fort Collins? Well then it won't benefit you. I don't see how it can. What do you mean the city of Fort Collins. I didn't know that. What what are the people in Fort Collins? They pay the city?

Yeah, we pay the city for electricity and water. We only pay Excel for our gap.

Oh yeah, it wouldn't work. You just got that in error. But the electricity, how do they parse that out? And for Fort Collins? Are they reselling? What are they doing? I don't know.

I just get a bill from the city for water and electric I'm not sure how they We have a.

Meter and the city reads your meter. Yes, yes, I must be. It must be some kind of a co op. I've never heard of that. I mean, I didn't know that. By the way, it hasn't been going on a long time. I've been in Colorado nearly fifty years. I mean, has it been going on along ever since?

I've ever since I've been on my own in the city of Fort Collins. We've always paid the City of Fort Collins for our electric and water.

Interesting, it's interesting. Okay, well, no you can't. Obviously, it has to be someone who gets electricity from Excel and then you sign onto this co op and then you get the bill a bill from the co op, and then you get a lower bill from Excel, and supposedly the two added together give you at least ten percent reduction, sometimes more so because you're taking part.

I thought it was weird. I even got the letter, so do I.

But you know why, because you are a customer. You're just a gas customer. But I just think there's probably no way for them to know, or they they just sent it out to all of their customers.

Savannah, that's interesting. So anyone else.

If you got that and you only get gased from Excel, obviously you're not going to get a rebate on your UH on.

Your electric all right?

So do how how is getting thank you? How is getting compassed? Did we get Compass on or not? Thank you? Thank you?

Kachina, Hey, Tom, I did that with my son. I just listened to him as a driver, and I kept it with the car in my name and.

He has it.

Okay. I mean when you you ensure it in everything, right.

I just kept it in my name, put him as a driver, and nothing changed.

Okay, Well let's figure that out. I'm going to ask Compass to be sure. But I believe you.

I did the Compass because then I you know.

I get well, you know what then, Dave, have you thought about that? Dave, let's bring him back. According to deputy Doc who checked with Compass already, he just named him as a driver on the policy. Why wouldn't they let you do that?

Because I tried to be mister a good guy and I called him first and see it, and they had me on recorded line. They said, no, no, the car has to be in Denver, in your garage, in.

Your possession, not in Pleblo.

She's used it over there and gets an accident, we will not cover that car.

Now, wait a minute, I don't know if you added her as a driver. They said they won't cover it if she lives in another household. Right right, all right, Brian Burns Compass Insurance, let's bring him up. Brian, you there, Brian, I'm here here, all right. So Dave has a car that's financed, so obviously it's financed. He must carry collision and he wants to give the car to his mother if he can, or at least accomplish it so she

That's not true.

Is it so?

Because he tried to list her as an as a operator on the.

Pall that yes, exactly exactly.

It's surprising me they even asked the question, because if if you were to call me and to say I need to add an operator on the policy, I would just I would add the operator period. Uh So I wouldn't really have to get into the detail about address. I assume she's in the same Saint.

Though she.

Yeah, that's did you say, no, she's in She's in Pueblo, Colorado.

He's in Denver area. I think.

Okay, yeah, so you're still still in Colorado. So that's that's the more important part to me.

Who's your car? Who's your carrier?

Dave safe.

Brian Okay, why would safe code not let him put his mother on that car?

Yeah?

They said you have to have the car at your house, right, Dave?

Right, what you can on policy?

You can change the garaging zip code to wherever it truly is, So that would be another option.

Now, why why do they care about the garage? Why do they care about the garaging zip code?

As you Well, for a factor of reasons. Let's just talk about the physical damage portion, like let's say comprehensive if you're in an area that's more prone to hall. The rating factors are different in one place over another, if there's a higher proportion of accidents in a certain area, or theft rate if you're in one.

Okay, so he ought to have it better. He ought to have it better in Pueblo.

I would sure think so. I think Pueblo would be a lesser rate.

So, Dave, you so, what do you actually say to SAFECode? Who is your agent? Dave?

You're not talk to Jasker?

And they told me you can't do it and make.

It Dave, Dave, you don't, Dave, who do you go? Dave? Who do you go to? The buy insurance?

I'm a guy that sold it for me to dam wrote it up and I took them and I paid every month on a credit card.

I That's all I do.

But who is Okay, yeah, co is my insurance? I understand that. But you have an agent?

Uh?

Not me?

I just call and connected Brian, Let me, Brian, let me ask you. Just just hold on, Dave. I'm going to help you out here. How do you become his agent of record?

He had to sign a broker of record, but it wouldn't take place until renewals, so it really wouldn't help him in the immediate you know, because they really don't change that over until renewal. But he, I mean, he should have someone. I wouldn't talk to an adjuster. I would know Paul whoever he usually calls. He says, I need to add an operator on my policy.

Like like, like, who do you call to change things on your policy? Who do you call? Do you have an agent?

Uh?

Now trying?

I call Safe and it connected me to the same lady that she I guess she's the only one that works here. She goes, I talked to you earlier, sir, and you want to record a line I answer your question before.

This is so ridiculous.

Come on, Brian, he's to change insurance, give me a call. Let's just get you somewhere else.

Yeah, I mean, do you realize it doesn't cost you anything to change insurance, Dave, you might be able to get a better rate.

Now you did add that one. Not at fault accident, right?

Yeah?

I call Progressive and they changed it. You sent me a letter and it said the end of the stake cold, you're not at fault.

Wait a minute, who are you insured by safe COO or Progressive?

I was Progressive and I got in an accident in October at twenty two, but.

It was a not at fault accident, right.

Yes, rights, it provided a letter that said it was not at fault.

That's common. And then you switched. You switched to safe Coe is that right?

Yes?

Reading I did that because Progressive that lady only had twenty five grand. I went after my insurance, com Me Propresso, and they paid out like one hundred grand. I didn't think they're too happy.

Hey, if you use Brian, if you use your under insured motorist coverage, are you dinged for that?

It's a not at fault just like he said, it's a not at fault act and you're still looked at. They still see it, but it's it's not a chargeable.

So, Dave, so you're right now with Safeco you ought to switch. Let Brian find you a carrier. I'll bet you you'll save money and you'll get this taken care of with your mom.

Okay, okay, I'm driving right now a company truck. Can I just give him my number? Or off the air?

Yeah, off the air, you can off the air and they'll call you. But it's going to be easy for you to remember too. It's three oh three nine nine six nine thousand. But hold on, Kitchina, get Dave's number and give it to Brian. Brian, really, I think you ought to take care of me's being jerked around. I just can't see that, all right, Thank you, thank you.

You don't want this guy doing your job, and he's using an excuse why he won't do your job because you don't have their proper drawings or whatever. But I called this city of El Paso County. This justin Garcia doesn't even have a license to do any.

Construction work at all.

He doesn't have a license a building or a contractor's license.

And where did you where did you check? What?

Municipality El Paso County, Carora Springs Building Department.

Okay?

And then on the contract he has a license number on the I haven't been able to read the contract. Carrol's going snailing mailing it to me, but the license number on the contract is bogus. Oh, I mean, this is sixty two thousand dollars. I think we need to get the callers to call his number, even to protest.

What's his h what's his number?

His phone number is seven one nine five seven one.

Hold on seven nine.

I had about this five seven to one oh four three seven.

No, we should definitely call him, so I asked.

I left him my message because he kept threatening a lawyer. I mean, I said, just bring your lawyer. Have your lawyer call the radio show so we can get your side of this. Story and he said he's way too busy to talk to me.

Okayes Bs, this is a scumbag, justin Garcia, Patriot Builders a scum bag, just a mofo scumbag?

Can I say that?

Yeah? Both?

Did he say that he bought the materials? He says he had material costs into the job. And he says, if I would read the contract, you could clearly see if you would, if I could read that he's entitled to keep the money because she didn't start the job in a certain amount of time. Well, that's the biggest ustion to be as I ever heard. He's sixty two thousand dollars of this lady's money for months and she's living with us.

No, no, we can't let this happen. We need to call BO. Would you call the district attorney in al Paso County and school them on the Contractor's Trust Act and tell them we have a victim here and this guy did not put the money in trust as required and has violated everything and doesn't even have a license. Please do that follow up? Okay, I am, I'm going to give the actual district attorney. We got to call them in El Paso County.

It's the fourth judicial district. I've already left a message for them Tom, and I'm going to get Carroll to call them too.

It is Patriot Remodeling Services LC at gmail dot com. Tell them what you think if I'm taking sixty two thousand dollars from a woman and doing no work. Patriot Remodeling Services LLC at gmail dot com. Now, let me explain something to

We give our opinions. Here's my opinion.

If you take sixty two grand up front and do no work, you're a crook my opinion. According to the Contractors Trust Act, that money's supposed to be put in trust for that job.

Did he do that? Doubt it?

And also she bought the materials herself, and he claimed to have materials.

Expense.

But here's the deal.

I doubt he's followed.

The Contractor's Trust Act. In fact, we can't find much licensing on him. And we found a number of different business names. So if you want to represent him, that's fine, okay, because I would love to go into the discovery and get into his bank accounts and how many times he's taken money down, and how many times he's opened up trust accounts, and how many times this has happened.
