Tyson Love's Airbnb is a mess. Worse, the company will only refund $14 of his rental fee, even though he bought cleaning supplies and cleaned the rental himself. Is that fair? I recently rented a home for three nights through Airbnb in Jacksonville, Fla. The pictures posted by the host did not match the property. The home was damaged and dirty. The sofa in the living room was peeling and dilapidated. One of the exterior doors had mold growing on it and would not close all the way. And the toilet...
Sue Canavan is moving into a senior living facility. But before she does, ADT wants $2,089 from her. Is that fair? Last summer, my ADT alarm was not working correctly. My husband was not well and died in mid-August. I scheduled a service call with ADT shortly thereafter. The technician told me the system needed an upgrade. Being newly widowed and in shock (and feeling that I needed the alarm), I signed a five-year agreement. I sold my house recently and have moved to senior housing, where I no l...

My sister and I are very close, and we don't keep things from one another. Recently she shared with me concerns about her sex life, or lack thereof. She feels like there is something wrong with her because her husband is not attracted to her. They have been married for 15 years. A couple of weeks ago I was on the Internet and highlighted my brother-in-law's name to send him a message. Well, when I did a box appeared, and it stated where he was online. At first, it said he was in a bisexual...
It's been four months since Brigitte Yvon bought her garage shelving along with installation from Home Depot. But no one has installed it yet. Can she get a refund? I purchased garage shelving from Home Depot last spring. The shelving, including parts and labor, cost about $10,000. I was able to schedule an installation for about five months later. I reached out to my contact at Home Depot to confirm the installation date. My contact verified in writing that the installation would happen on...
Debbie Kim is shocked to find a $150 charge from Lyft on her credit card. What did she do -- and is there a way to undo it? I was on a 10-minute Lyft ride to my friend’s apartment in Toronto today. Shortly after I arrived, I received a notification from Lyft that it was charging me $150 for damage to the car. Lyft sent me pictures of the back seat of a Honda Accord with mud stains on the floor. I do not recognize the photos, and I'm not even sure if it was the same car I was in. The photos don't...

My dilemma is this. I've been going out with my boyfriend for five months. He is a very loving and romantic guy and would do basically anything for me. But the other night we were making love, and he said a friend's name instead of mine. Now this girl isn't particularly good-looking, she's quite small, her eyes are funny looking, and her teeth are all over her mouth. Basically, she looks like a caveman. Nonetheless, it still hurt me, and I pushed him away. He tried to explain he had been out...
Heather Steele is stuck in a cold Airbnb, and her host refuses to help her. Can she move to a different rental? You have helped me before, and I am so grateful, but I need help again, unfortunately. I am currently in an Airbnb near Washington, D.C. I'm in the basement, and it's 63 degrees. I have no control over the temperature. The host controls it upstairs, and I am freezing. The host forbids me from opening any windows to let in the warm air, and I am so cold, that I feel like it's some sort...
Julie Kuklenski returned her Stella McCartney cross-body bag to Saks. But the company won't return her money. What's going on? I ordered a Stella McCartney cross-body bag from Saks.com recently. I made this purchase while Saks was offering a promotion on designer handbags and received $200 off the original price of $950. I received the wrong bag. I called Saks, and a representative said that this item was sent from a store and not their warehouse. I received a return label and returned it via...
