Consumer Proposal Horror Stories: What Are the Worst Cases You've Heard?

I know of a realtor who sold a house with a faulty electrical system. The new owners had no idea until there were some sparks and a small fire started. It was a really dangerous situation. Apparently, the realtor had not bothered to get a proper inspection done or inform the buyers.

One of the worst I've heard was a person who only made minimum payments for years. The interest piled up so high that they ended up owing more than double their original debt. It was a never - ending cycle as they couldn't afford to pay more than the minimum and the debt just kept growing.

A friend of mine got a call from a telemarketer who started yelling at her when she said she didn't want the product. It was completely unacceptable behavior.

I heard about a person who had gerd so bad that it damaged their esophagus over time. They had to go through a lot of medical treatments and had to be really careful with their diet all the time. It was a horror story in terms of the long - term effects on their health.

One of the horror stories I've heard is that a girl took Plan B and then had a very heavy and long - lasting period. It was much worse than her normal periods. She bled through her clothes a couple of times because she didn't expect it to be that bad. It made her feel really embarrassed and also physically weak. She had to take extra iron supplements to make up for the blood loss.

A friend of mine had a date who took her to a really seedy part of town. The place was dirty and there were some really sketchy - looking people around. She was so scared and just wanted to leave right away. It was a really bad choice of location for a date.

I heard about a flight that got delayed multiple times. First, it was because of a mechanical problem. Then, they had trouble finding a replacement part. The passengers were kept in the airport for over two days. They had to sleep on the hard benches, and the airline only provided minimal food. It was a disaster. There were families with small children, and it was really difficult for them. People missed important events like weddings and funerals because of this delay.

One preorder horror story I've heard was about a highly anticipated video game. People preordered months in advance. But when the game finally arrived, it was full of bugs. The graphics were glitchy and the gameplay was unplayable in many parts. It was a huge disappointment for the fans who had been waiting so long.

One of the worst stories I know is when a recruiter lied about the location of the job. They told the candidate it was a local position, but in reality, it required a lot of traveling or even potential relocation. The candidate had made it clear that they couldn't relocate, and this misinformation led to a lot of disappointment and wasted effort on both sides.

Someone told me about their eBay return horror story. They bought an expensive item that turned out to be faulty. When they returned it, the seller kept delaying the refund. They said they were waiting for the item to be inspected, but it seemed like they were just trying to hold onto the buyer's money. The buyer had to keep pushing eBay to step in, and it took months before they finally got their money back.
