No Money For You

The plaintiff put a deposit down on a jeep the defendant was selling. The plaintiff changed her mind a few days later, but the defendant won’t return the money, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues deposits are nonrefundable, so she doesn’t owe a dime

[@amandamatheny3675]

Plaintiff is lucky she got a penny. As the judge said if the lady hadn't been able to sell it and mitigate her damages the plaintiff would've got squat

[@richdlaw]

Her boyfriend wasn't in court for a reason and after watching the whole episode it all made sense. He sent her to do his dirty work.

[@broeheemed32]

If it was all on him, how did the defendant get the plaintiff's name/info to be sued? She was as involved as he was..... probably more.

[@dessean1]

I can't believe that the two plaintiffs are college students but don't appear to have a working brain cell between them. The plaintiff had better thank her lucky stars that the defendant was able to sell the jeep & that she was also honest about receiving the $1,600.00 retainer payment in her mailbox or the plaintiff would have left the court completely empty-handed. I guess the old adage is true that "anything worth knowing can't be learned in a school".

[@slmel7]

​@@user-1hu2sExactly! People are selfish and greedy! Morally speaking, most deposits should be refundable. Sadly, most Christians today are not really Christians. They don't actually read the Bible or follow His commandments. Look at how many litigants come on here claiming to be Christians. True Christians don't sue! So many fakes.

Unbelievable!! Cash in a mailbox? Why not drive the car first then put the money down if you like how it drives, what they did was foolish, but you live and learn.

[@marleonetti7]

they were trying to launder the money by getting a loan from the mother of the 18 year old and then telling the defendants to give them the money back . a backdoor deal gone wrong . im not surprised they think this way because marthas vineyard is a place where politicians and future politicians are found and they pull scams like this with our tax dollars all the time .

I think the only reason the courthouse interviewer was nice to the Plaintiff is bcuz he’s scared for her, since she has to go home to the bf. That interview would have gone significantly different if Judge Milan had asked her if she knew about the texts

[@Fluffyzk]

I understand why the plaintiff won and got back the $500, but I don’t agree, it was their fault that they changed their minds, and the defendant’s should’ve sold their vehicle cheaper since they already had $1,600 that was towards the vehicle, but they got greedy thinking they could get away with more money.

[@Starnote16]

I agree

[@seantimmons5900]

So the defendant should have sold the vehicle for less money because what now? How were they greedy in any way? They didn't know at the time of the deposit how long it would take to sell the vehicle a second time and they surely were right not to continue conversing with people when they're being physically threatened. Greedy.. wow.

[@MagnolyiaGrace]

The defendent should have given the plaintiff the money back. That would be the right thing to do. The defendent wasn't losing any money. The defendent still had the Jeep. I try to treat people the way I would want to be treated. This should be a learning lesson for the plaintiff for any future purchases.

[@MagnolyiaGrace]

If the defendant gave the money back, the plaintiff would have not learned any lessons for future purchases and would assume it's okay to inconvenience people backing out of a purchase. Not to mention the disrespectful attitude and threats from the 18 year old. He's the one that needs a lesson and giving him the money back will only be more harmful to his future outlook on life.

I'm surprised the plaintiff didn't get $1500 back and more surprised everyone here agrees to it! If they canceled shouldn't they just lose the deposit?! judge was talking about paying installments of the car but that's only when you possess the car and are riding it. In this case they never even test drove it lol I think the deposit is what's holing the car and if you decide not to purchase then that's what you should lose..
