Where is Joan Cassell's iPhone? Gazelle says it sent it back to her, but there's no evidence it was delivered. Whose responsibility is this lost phone?

My friend has a crazy personality when she drinks. As I've grown closer to her over the past year I've seen that alcohol transforms her into a completely different person.

She got extremely intoxicated and started asking my fiancé for hugs. As she hugged him she sometimes slurred that she would like to have his baby. Then she would go off in a c...
Glen Hartness books the wrong night at a La Quinta hotel through the Priceline app. Why won't Priceline refund the erroneous booking?

Craig McAllister can't see most of his baseball games in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Does he deserve a refund from SeatGeek? I paid SeatGeek $524 for front-row tickets for a spring training game between the Mets and Yankees in Port St. Lucie, Fla. When I got to my seat, I was extremely disappointed.

During one of the times we were broken up, he allowed me to read his journal which explained what he thinks about when he...
Cathy Balsewich's travel advisor offers her a $200 resort credit at a hotel in the Turks & Caicos. Why doesn't it work -- and who is responsible?

I booked the trip, but when we checked out, a hotel representative said the $200 credit was not valid. It had expired the month before we traveled. Apple eventually offered us a $200...
