So I thought my life was perfect. Not just good, but flawless. I was living a fairy tale. I am a well-known chef in one of the great cities. I had bad luck dating and couldn't find the one, that is until she came along. She was and is the one. There's nothing more I love than her. Perfect, right? We went out for a year, and I asked her to marry me. It was the most romantic proposal anyone could ask for. I hired waiters from my restaurant to hold vases of roses all the way up the stairs. Trust...
Why did Airbnb ban Solange Reyner? The company won't tell her. But will it tell this consumer advocate? I recently received an email from Airbnb that it had removed my account from the platform. "Removal means that your account will no longer be accessible, and you won't be able to create another one," it said. "We want to assure you that we reviewed your case thoroughly before reaching this conclusion. As such, we won't be able to offer you additional support on this matter at this time." I...
Ryan Maietta orders an Arc A770 graphics card from Amazon. Instead, he gets a different card, an A750. How does he get this fixed? I recently ordered an Intel Arc A770 Graphics Card on Amazon. I paid $271 with my Amazon credit card. The order arrived a few days later, but it was not the Intel Arc A770 – it was the Intel Arc A750, which is significantly different. When viewed in my account history, it shows the order as the A770. On my invoice, it's the A770. But when I clicked on my order a...

I don’t drive and have health problems. I have a friend who runs an under-the-table errand service. She is one of my closest friends, so I rely on her. I always give her sufficient money for her time, and she has helped me out in many situations. There have been two times in a row where she has blown me off. Both times she was to take me to a doctor's appointment. The first time she did not call me in advance as she always did, so I called her. She said, “I can’t talk. I’m running out the doo...

I'm at my wit's end. My wife of 20 years is leaving me. She said she is sick of me always talking to her. She says she doesn't care about money or anything else as long as she can get away from me. I pleaded with her to stay and she stayed one night in the spare room, but she refused to talk further. The next day I returned home from work to an empty house with no idea where anybody was. I was so upset my wife was not home preparing a meal for our teenagers, I went to the restaurant where she...
Peter Holt prepays $66 for two checked bags on his Avianca flight from San Jose, Costa Rica, to Mexico City.
