What happened to Roberto Cusato's leg compression system after he gave it to UPS? Amazon doesn't have it, and it is still holding the $756 he paid for the product. I purchased a leg compression system on Amazon that was not what I was expecting. I returned the item almost a month ago via UPS, but Amazon has not received it yet. An Amazon representative told me I needed to wait two more weeks and would not promise me a refund. I am at a loss. This was an expensive item -- it cost $756 -- and I ha...

I'm worried about my sister. She is married with teenage children. She and her husband own a beautiful home on a pond. Three years ago she discovered an 80s "hair band" and started to see them once in a while. We would sometimes go together on weekends to listen to them, but after six months she began to go every Saturday night. I stopped going that often because I, too, have a family. Her other friends also stopped going, saying it was too much. So my sister went alone and found new friends....
Why didn't Jessica Radosevic get her $444 refund from the online travel agency Traveluro? Could it have something to do with the credit card dispute she filed?

My younger brother seems okay, but I'm scared something will happen to him as well. I love my family and have taken a lot of their baggage and put it upon myself. I remember my...
When American Airlines changes Neil Gupta's flight from Seattle to Miami, he asks for a refund. The airline suggests it will offer a refund, but then backtracks. Will he ever get his money back?

Before my flight, I received an email saying my flight time had...

I'm in a five-month-old long-distance relationship. Of those five months, we have spent a total of 15 days together spread over a two-month period. As in all relationships, it was wonderful in the beginning. We spent long hours on the phone getting to know each other and catching up on what was going on in each other's lives. About two months ago I noticed his calls were not as frequent as they used to be. He says it's because he's busy. I accept this because I know his job is demanding, but...
