Legal Question in Consumer Law in Michigan

Re: Small Claims Issue

I would go back to speak with them and to look at the cart. I would tell them that since they referred to small claims, I am going to record our communications and then I would start my recorder and start taking pictures. I would take pictures of all the other carts too. I would tell them that I have no intention of paying for something I did not do and that if they take me to court, they will be the ones paying. I would also tell them that I am going to make a consumer complaint and I would do so.

I would ask them how they know it was me and not the driver before me. Do they have pictures of the cart before and after. What evidence do they have that I did it? Get it all on tape. Make a big deal and they will get scared and back off.

I would also write everything down about the events of the day in question. I would have my father-in-law do the same.

I would not be worried and gather my evidence for an exciting day in court, but I am an attorney - you may not get so excited.
