Hi there, Instacart banned my account from shopping at Safeway and Albertsons. Could you please create a case to unlock those stores?

Here is a previous case by *** (Identity withheld for privacy reasons).

The client said she needed representation for a restraining order. She said it was against her ex-boyfriend, VT. She said he was a senior. She said she dated him for about a year and a half. She said the first year she would see him mostly on Saturdays because she was working two jobs in the first part. She said in the last 9 months she received a state of Illinois rental assistance and he helped her to find a property. She said it was right behind his old property where he lived and grew up. She said she met him in high school and they weren't friends, but they shared some mutual friends. She said he spent several years in jail and was released in October 2019. She said he reached out to a mutual friend and demanded her phone number. She said they were afraid of him and have him her number. She said when he got her number he said he wanted to get a hair cut and he reached out, but she took several weeks to respond. She said he was a bully in high school and she only went to the same school for 1 year then she transferred. She said she never saw or heard from him until 30 years later he contacted her. She said she is a licensed barber and cut his and his mother's hair before she passed away.

She said throughout the relationship she found out he had a colorful past and committed a couple of murders and went to jail for them. She said when his mom passed away she was notified that she can move and was approved. She said they now shared the same alley that he grew up in as his house was 4 houses down. She said he has young children, 5 and 8 years old. She said she moved to the house in June and he dropped his kids at her house. She said they spent 33 days at her house. She said after about 2 weeks she went down to where he lived, but he was sick and sitting in the dark. She said he was on prescription drugs maybe 10-15 medicines for medical issues. She said she told him that they should go for a ride, and went and met in an accident. She said when she went to the hospital for check-ups the nurse asked whose kids they were and she told them they were his kids. She said when they got released she told him school will be starting, so it was time to take the kids home as they lived about 2 hours away. She said he never came with her and she took them home. She said through the whole car ride he was texting her saying that it was his children and she has no right to take them home and she should bring his kids back and use expletives. She said she dropped the kids off and returned and told him she can’t deal with a person who wants her to be responsible for his kids and he was not there. She said she has two children also, at the time they were 18 and 13 years old.

She said VT convinced her to help him start a lawn mower service. She said she got a truck in her name. She said during the fall when the kids had left after the season was over she realized she was working harder than him and she asked for money, but he didn’t want to pay her. He said the money wasn’t clear and she told him that the next season she wouldn't help him, he was on his own. She said she then told him it was not working for her and the relationship. She said she was not sure how sick he was, and he told her that he was working through the problem and he went to a place that she thought was helping. She said she then found out it was a methadone place. She said he stored some equipment at her house, so he asked for a key to the basement and she said it was okay. She said he wasn’t the person she thought he was and when they got money from the settlement they would go separate ways. He said she told her that she should be helping him to raise the kids. She said she told him she doesn’t have time and patience and she gave him names of places that could help tutor his kids. She said she told him the relationship can’t work if she can’t do things. She said she can't have him around her kids while he was sick. She said her kids are now 21 and 15.

She said he was approved for SSI and she became his payee, but in September 2022 she took her name off and he started becoming aggressive. She said they owed a mortgage and the bank took the house after his mother died. She said he moved to a mobile in Caromont City. She said after he moved they were still having intimate relations, but she was trying to pull away from him and started to threaten his kids. She said her son had a baby at 20 and in October 2022 he was saying things like the baby isn't for her son and the gang members were going to hurt him. She said she didn’t feed into it was just listening. She said she was working at night as she works at the school in the day and the barber shop at night. She said he was at the door one night to her teenage daughter. She said she called him and told him that he shouldn't show up at her house wanting to talk to her daughter. She said she told him not to show up when she was not there. She said in October a gentleman stayed directly behind their house and in 2021 he pulled a gun out on him. She said VT grabbed his BBQ grill and brought it to her house after in her backyard. She said she pulled it back down the street and it was heavy. She said in December she wasn’t speaking to him. She said she was a barber instructor up the street, and she went there on Saturdays and VT came there and followed her outside. She said she left and told them he was threatening her and her kids and she’s not coming back if he is there. She said VT went there the following Saturday and he wanted her to cut his kid's hair.  She said she called the school again and let them know she doesn't know if she can work if he keeps coming back. She said they wrote a letter that he’s not allowed to be there on the days she works. She said she knows his intentions aren’t good, and she doesn’t want him around her or her children, she’s scared of him. She said when she filled out the restraining order it wasn’t filled out right as she said she didn't need a lawyer. She said she wants somebody else to talk on behalf of her. She said after this she know she will have to move out of the area.

I'm looking for an inexpensive lawyer that could help finalize my divorce from my husband. We already went through arbitration on Aug 11, 2022, and I thought that after mediation, our divorce would have been finalized right away. We were told that the agreement was not binding until it was reviewed by the attorney. My husband was supposed to be paying the lawyer, but he has not done so. He has failed to pay the fee of $200, and the lawyer is no longer pushing the case. We got married on 10/24/13 and have been separated for six years now. We shared two girls, ages 6 & 10 years. We have no business or properties together. We had some debts which were paid off by me because he was not willing to pay. We share nothing apart from our children. An arrangement was made for my husband to take the children on the weekends. He has also said the specific reason for not paying the lawyer is to avoid paying child support since he was not divorced, and could come and go as he pleases. I thought the process would have been quicker, but I'm waiting for the case to be reviewed and riding it out.

I have two other cases I need arbitration. Goldman Sacks excessive charge post on my accounts for the past 3 years, bank statements doesn’t match the Apple Card transaction reports. The overcharged are for 14954.66$ maybe more than was only for 21-22. I have apple credit card I bought devices with installment they have been charged two times.

1) All devices have been paid off at this amount never been deducted from the total balance.
2) December 22 reversal claim 12/09/20, as show on the Apple Card transaction report you never credited. In the first place, that is a fraud!
3) Excessive charged have been post on my account regularly since the Apple Card transaction does not match the bank statements

The second is negligence for the clinic Evolution MD I did the plastic surgery in 2022 I had post op complications lost income pain suffering my health is becoming worst since I did the surgery, one month ago the clinic was willing to refund me in full. I have all medical records supporting my claim.

Here is a previous case by *** (Identity withheld for privacy reasons).

I am calling regarding my late son IA's social security. My son wasn't living with me, AC was taking care of him in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She worked with him and lived with him, and she killed my son. I received two Social security billing statement letters today from Mid-Atlantic Program Service Center, 300 Spring Garden St, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One is saying that the total amount due is $24,167.30 which says it was paid, but I don't know who paid off that one as the other letter I received is saying that the total amount due is $8,896.


I already took my name off his Social Security information and they were sending the cheques to AC. They were still taking the money even though he was dead and they want me to pay it, and I receive a low income. I am not sure of their address or if they moved as my other son took me away 1-2 years now and moved from Philadelphia to Florida. I will try to get the address to give to the team. I don't know what is going on and I would like someone to help me. 

Here is a previous case by *** (Identity withheld for privacy reasons).


The client said she was working with some people that she thought were the arbitration, but they said to first start with the complaint and then follow up with some different people working and she sent them everything. She said somebody else told her that it was one piece of paper and even though she hired the attorney the case took place in Juvenile Dependency Court in San Mateo County. She said the lawyer was hired to Los Angeles and she’s fully registered now, she asked him to please stop representing her, and she hasn’t heard from him. She said he didn’t do anything and had asked for an enormous amount of money, so she has been going through every single avenue to try to get back because she needs to proceed with her legal problems. She said she just wants to make sure she’s doing it right because there is one document that they told her to send to San Francisco for arbitration instead of Los Angeles. She said the court took place in Northern California, but the lawyer was from LA, and she’s just a new person doing this, so if we could please call her back and give her the difference on what she’s supposed to do that would be fabulous.

The client said she was in a marriage, and she doesn't know why her husband acted the way he did. She said he wasn't financially stable, and she was fed up with the way he acted because they had a child together. She said he left her, and her father and mother worked and took care of them. She said her son is autistic, and it's hard to take care of an autistic child. She said he has behavioral issues and a speech delay, and she is different from his father because she still thinks he will get better at it, but his father doesn't think like her. She said her husband is from Puerto Rico. She said he didn't help and that was a part of the divorce. She said he actively tried to seek revenge. She said he won't co-parent with her, and he has gambling and stealing problems. She said he called social services, and their child has special needs. She said he was a con man and something terrible happened. She said in LA he tried to do the same thing and he doesn't pay taxes. She said she has been paying for her apartment in San Mateo for 2 years. She said he has enemies not her. She said he has nothing, unless he's hiding money and he had a different reputation in LA. She said he came to her house in Christmas, and she has tapes of him yelling out. She he looks very sick.

She said R.A who works for social services at the Human Resources agency in San Mateo was covering up things. She said maybe she wasn't even a social service worker. She said she even called the police on her, and she doesn't even know if that was the real police. She said she lied on the paperwork because her husband doesn't even live in San Mateo, and they gave him full custody. She said he was doing this to make sure she didn't ask for anything and he was stealing from her. She said she wants to get a divorce and he’s using his son as a threat to her, and she’s scared. She said R.A made a mistake and she’ll hurt children because he’s acting crazy, and he can’t handle their son, and he was collecting welfare. She said if after they detained him, they had done a blood test they would've found something in it. She said he takes heroin. She said she thinks the county needs to see who they hired. She said her husband is breaking the law and maybe he even paid her off. She said R.A  hired 4 persons to chase her son around her property since he was 4, then blamed her when he got off the property. She said they made up a story on paper and she doesn't deserve this. She said she felt like she was being treated as a criminal because he made up a story and her constitutional rights were breached. She said she showed them child abuse on tape, and they didn't care. She said he didn't pay any money and she had to borrow money to pay.

The client said she hired a lawyer; V. D and she paid him and didn't get her money back. She said she would like to get all her money back from him. She said she went to court more than once and she can send us an email with all the dates and additional information. She said on April 24, 2021, they went to court, and he wasn't listening to anything she was saying. She said in court he asked her if she wanted her husband to have custody of their child and that wasn't discussed. She said 6 people petitioned for her son to not go to court, but they weren't on her side. She said her husband's lawyer spoke to him but not her. She said she waited for the very last judge, and she couldn't think for herself, and they didn't give her a trial. She said the CPS worker made up pages of lies and told her mother to build a fence around her house and they didn't help. She said this case has been going on for 2 years, and they took her son away on September 21, 2021. She said she has the case number and can send it via email. She said she doesn't have any other upcoming court dates.

She said she wants to sue the Human Resources Agency for civil and constitutional rights, she said they violated her rights and embarrassed her in front of her family. She said they lied in front of the federal government. She said it was a domestic violence relationship, and they should help her and that's what it says on the brochure, but instead, they told her to invite her husband to a hotel. She said R.A was against her and was harassing her. She said it isn't even all about that, but she should be protecting children, and she didn't even tell her where she was taking her son. She said her son is now living at the Regional Center and he was almost 10 years old, and they took him from his mother. She said she has been his primary caregiver and she only gets to visit him 2 days a week, and his father doesn't even visit him. She said her son lives in San Mateo and he lives in LA. She said she is going through arbitration, and she needs help with civil rights. She said she needs them to know they made a mistake, and she didn't neglect him. She said she also needs to find out about her husband SSI, and she might need to hire a detective, she asked if that is something we can help with. She said this morning she was going to meet with a divorce attorney, but if we can help her, she will take the civil rights lawyer. She said the CPS lawyer is covering up child abuse and she took her child away. She said she wants to go to the federal court and sue them, and she wants this taken off her history as she didn't neglect her child or did anything wrong. She said on the brochure it says they shouldn't tell any family member about anything, but they still did it. She said they also shouldn't take the child unless he was in immediate danger, but he only walks to school and bite an apple and they still took him from her.

She said during the pandemic they gave her son a mandatory vaccine that made him autistic because he wasn't born that way. She said they gave him the wrong vaccine and her husband agreed that he changed after he got them. She said he is sensitive, and after the shots, he stopped talking, but her husband still had them give him the shot again. She said he is allergic and that's why he is autistic. She said he is using this, so he doesn't pay in the divorce case, and he is blaming her for his being autistic. She said he embarrassed her, and they should investigate him.

Here is a previous case by *** (Identity withheld for privacy reasons).

I checked my account and I saw that there were three charges of $9.50 four charges of $28.50 four more charges of $9.50 and I had four more charges of $18.36 pending that I didn't authorize. I got my Gobank debit card out and call the number on the back of my card. The automated system asked that I want to file a claim it made me aware that if I proceeded to put in a dispute that my account will be closed I proceeded it then told me that if I want to get any money or anything I'll pay any bills first because once I proceed and say yes that it would be no way that I could get any money off of my card I proceeded. The guy that I spoke with I told him I wanted to file a dispute because I didn't know where those charges were coming from he told me that the way the process worked he would have to email me a dispute form, which he still hasn't emailed me the dispute form. He also told me that the four charges of $18.36 I had to wait until they posted before I could dispute them he then told me that he could send me a new card in 10 business days I told them that I did not want a card . Danny start placing me on hold after about the third time he come back and told me hold on he told me he had to transfer my call cuz he couldn't help me he transferred me to a lady she was assuring me that she could send me a card just like I explained to him the money that I had in my account was for my Christmas and I didn't want any more of it taken and I told her that I want her to close my account and send me my $1,500 in a check. She kept trying to assure me that no one would know my card information and I kept telling her please send me a check then she began putting me on hold the second time she put me on hold the phone hang up and soon as it hang up it rang from a one-800 number. When I answered the phone because I simply thought maybe she just hung up on me by accident it was a guy saying that he was from Green Dot disputes and he was going to help me get back my money he told me my last couple of transactions and I told him yes they were correct then he said to further verified he was going to send me a code and to send him the code so he can make sure that he was speaking with the right person a code came in my phone instantly I told him the numbers I didn't read the message I just told him the numbers he put me on a hold and hung the phone up I looked in my bank account and all of my money was gone I called and my account had been closed I could not get back in my account anymore online but if I called I could hear my balance. I then looked online and found the dispute forms and sent them in I disputed the $1,300 that took and all the other charges I've been writing the office in California the office in Austin Texas and the two offices in Ohio sending them my dispute forms and my claim about a month later at the beginning of the year I got a letter from them saying that my $1,300 would be granted to me I then called the 1-800 number and I could hear what they had given me in my last few transactions they had refunded me my money at the end it told me that within 10 business days I would have my check and if I didn't have my check to call them well 10 days past and when I called again they had taken that message off about me getting my money and it said the new message said that they were reviewing my account to see whether or not that they were grant me my dispute. 3 weeks ago I received a check for $1,400 and they still owe me $74 before I got that check I had received the check for $0.80 cuz that's all that was left in my account you can tell that both checks were manufactured at the same place and on the ladder that is attached to the check it says take all checks to Walmart they will cash the 80 cent one I couldn't take the $1,400 check I took to Walmart when the lady ran it through the machine she told me that she can't cash it here and she gave me a receipt what they phone number to some place called Certegy. I called them I read all the information off from the check to the lady on the phone and she told me that she couldn't give me any information about the check being that I didn't write it but she advised me to try Kroger or Publix. I took it to Kroger Publix and when they both ran the check through the machine they said the same thing that they couldn't cash it. I called Green Dot and they kept insisting that I take it to a bank I told them that on the check it says take it to Walmart and if Walmart wouldn't cash it why would a bank cash it so the lady told me that she would send me a check and that I would have it in 10 days which would have been February 2nd 2023. I never received the check . And now when I call Green Dot they are giving me the runaround is there any way that you can help me ?
