Who was in the wrong here? I need help serious answers only please!?
Back in April I went to pay my bf light bill that is split between me and his roomate. Well anyways I wrote a check for a 100.00 and all I had in my checking account was 105.00. The check went through, the ladies at the power company decided to use my roating and checking account information to pay off his roomates part of the bill. So the second check bounced and cause me to have to pay 120.00 cause the second one bounced. I never gave the power company permission to write a second check. And on top of that his roomate has never paid a bill. we pay 330.00 and she pays 195.00 for the rent but doesn't help with the light bill. So anyways. Yesterday She wrote a note saying she wanted us the give her the money to pay the bill. But in the past when we gave her money to pay the bill she only paid like 20 out of like 140.00 we gave her. And when she came home and asked for the money, I went in her room to show that we went to pay it. And that is when she went off and started cursing at me
and being very disrespectful. And I asked her nicely to stop being rude and she was like get the f*** out of my face you didn't pay **** here anyways why am I talking to you. And then she stormed into me and my bf room and started questioning him about why we didn't want to give her the money. That is when we both said cause you never pay the bill. And you keep half of the money that we give you to pay the bill. And she kept cursing at me so I went off and started hitting the closet door and that is when she shout up but still wanted us to do things her way. And in the end because we would go put the power bill in out name she decided that she wanted us out of the apartment by the end of this month. After we paid the rent and paid the light bill she is kicking us out. And when I went to get all of or things out of the kitchen she got mad and started acting chidlish and trashed our belonging. So I want to know who was in the wrong, and what should I do.

First of all, if you only wrote a check for $100 and the power company took more than that out of your account, you need to take it up with both your bank and the power company.
As for the roommate, if these issues are ongoing it would be better for all parties involved to move apart. The best way to pay bills going forward would be to open an account in all of the room mates names and pay all bill directly from this account. Then you have a record of how much was deposited by each person and eliminate any discrepancies.
You also need to spell out how much is due for each bill and when it is due. If anyone breaches the contract, then you need to have some consequences (like eviction, etc.)
Unfortunately there is no "right or wrong" in this situation if no agreement has been signed.
Good luck!

She is definately in the wrong. If I were you I would call the cops especially if she is trashing your belongings. I would document and log everything. I would pay to replace the items she destroyed then take her to small claims court. This is what I would do if I were being rational.
Now at times I can get very irrational. In which I would make her pay. I would personally threaten to whip her if she don't grow up and lay off. Yes, it may childish. But sometimes people just need their azz's whipped.
If I were you I would be glad your bf is getting the heck out of there and away from that crazy witch. She is in the wrong and shouldn't ever have the opportunity to screw you two over again. Imagine, if she can't pay her bills now with a room mate, what's she gonna do next month to pay her bills. Aw, sometimes people do get whats coming to them. Good Luck!

First of all, the power company doesn't have permission to write any checks from your account, so I would talk with your bank. See if anything can be done about this.
If she has not not been paying the bills, but you have been paying her the money, get out of that situation as soon as possible. I hope you were giving her checks and not cash. If she takes you to small claims court, you will need proof of payment. Always pay with checks and mark what it is for in the memo.

There obviously is no reasoning with her. I think that you should just get out as soon as you can, and just leave the situation alone.
You were in the right, and you and your boyfriend just need to get away from her. Let her worry about paying all of the bills on her own.
Best Wishes

well it seems like you have a very untrustworthy friend. There is only one solution for these sorts of people : DONT TRUST 'EM ! whatever you do. Dont give her money to pay HER bills, it sound like that by the time of her age, she should be able to pay her own bills by herself. Mke her apply for a suitable job and take her out of any nast habbits she might have (smoking, drinking etc.) because this wastes her money. If you feel that you can't make her quit these things, i would sit her down and have a serious talk with her. After all, she is your friend, and you abviously care for eachother so you need to give her some support. Hope this helps and follow your heart! Good luck. x
