Ep 17. Text Threats; Repo Outta Hell

In the Judge Faith season 3 episode 17, titled "Text Threats; Repo Outta Hell," the show's titular Judge Faith Jenkins presides over two cases, both of which revolve around debt disputes and potentially fraudulent behavior.

In the first case, a woman named Janet claims that her former friend, Amanda, owes her money for a car loan. According to Janet, she loaned Amanda $3500 to buy a car, but Amanda stopped making payments and refused to give Janet the car's title. Janet alleges that Amanda even threatened her with violence through text messages when she asked for the money back.

Amanda, on the other hand, claims that she paid Janet back in full and that any texts she sent were simply out of frustration with Janet's constant badgering. She also asserts that Janet had no right to take possession of the car in question, as it was registered in Amanda's name.

Judge Faith must sift through the conflicting testimonies and evidence to determine who is telling the truth and who owes whom money. She asks probing questions to both parties and scrutinizes text message records in order to make a fair and just decision.

In the second case, a man named Chad hires a repo company called "Repo Outta Hell" to repossess a car that he sold but hadn't received full payment for. However, Chad alleges that the repo company damaged the car during the repossession process and that they also took money and personal items from the car.

The owner of Repo Outta Hell, Jeff, denies these allegations and claims that Chad is simply trying to get out of paying for the car. He states that his employees followed proper procedure during the repossession and that Chad was not forthcoming with information about the car's location.

Judge Faith listens to both sides of the story and examines photographic evidence of the car's condition before and after repossession. She must determine whether Repo Outta Hell indeed acted negligently and caused damage to the car, and whether they illegally took items from it. In the end, Judge Faith delivers her verdict and makes a ruling in favor of one of the parties.

"Text Threats; Repo Outta Hell" is an episode that highlights the complex legal battles that can arise in situations of debt and litigation. Judge Faith's sharp legal mind and ability to weigh the evidence presented before her are put to the test as she navigates the intricacies of these two cases.
