This just makes me hate UPE more.. suing a kid for $500k

That's funny... a predatory towing company suing for defamation.

Truth is a defense. He will likely be able to find more than 200 stories.

Sandstone Cougar

6/12/18 9:17am

If all he needs are thousands of stories, I've got one I'll share with him.

chago04

6/12/18 9:18am

Me too. I have two stories.

westsidecoug

6/12/18 9:34am

I wonder what he would need to do to prove hundreds. Shouldn't be too hard.

svenot

This article doesn't paint the kid in the best light though.

SweetBabyG

Have you ever dealt with UPE? Trust me, he is NOT the problem.

westsidecoug

6/12/18 9:20am

Nope, but I did read the article, and just noted how it painted him. That's all.

SweetBabyG

journalists usually do give both sides of a conflict a chance to explain

cwilke1

Yup. That company could burn to the ground and no one would be sad.

I thought the same thing when I read it. Greedy kid...

^UPE troll right here, folks. They're starting a counter smear campaign!

OneUpper

6/12/18 9:55am

hahaha...I'll give you credit for that one. I literally laughed at your

abacaxi22

6/12/18 10:16am

You are anti sue happy, but support UPE in their defamation suit against a kid?

svenot

6/12/18 10:27am

Remember that statement came from the corrupt towing company's lawyer. It isn't

BYUtka

6/12/18 9:56am

This. UPE's counsel is advocating for his client and he may never have seen this

Winners appeal what they think are unreasonably small verdicts all the time.

displacedute

6/12/18 10:46am

There were no damages to claim. It is ridiculous.

abacaxi22

6/12/18 10:53am

Did you read the pleadings?

displacedute

6/12/18 10:55am

that's a quote from Defendant's attorney. Why does that paint him in a bad light

Archaea

6/12/18 10:10am

That quote is from the opposition's lawyer, so...

ArchbishopMitty

I pray that UPE loses the suit and has to pay Prince's attorney fees.

crazY

6/12/18 9:18am

Their yelp reviews are blowing up lately...

redlemmons

6/12/18 9:28am

The kid should enter the Yelp reviews as evidence

bluelands

6/13/18 7:36am

It's 86 now. But at the bottom you can see there are 194 more reviews that aren't recommended.

I think it’s pretty funny they thought this guys suit would somehow damage their

Jezza

6/12/18 9:37am

If they refunded the parking ticket, why did he sue them? What damages did he

Skeptical Optimist

6/12/18 9:45am

Have you dealt with UPE? Suing them is better than what my wife has wanted to do

TheLost

6/12/18 9:51am

It sounds like he's trying to affect change within the company. Good luck.

OneUpper

6/12/18 9:54am

But is he being ethical himself while he does it?

Skeptical Optimist

6/12/18 10:57am

Where is he claiming damages he doesn't have?

displacedute

6/12/18 11:01am

He says he would drop it if they weren't suing him.

BYUtka

6/12/18 9:58am

Maybe I misread the article, but it says that he appealed the verdict before

Skeptical Optimist

6/12/18 10:55am

That seems to be what the tow company's lawyer wants us to think. I am not sure.

BYUtka

6/12/18 11:11am

the article seems clear to me that his appeal is over and finished and the

cwilke1

6/12/18 11:26am

Meh, this is just a stupid [spitting] match at this point. Both sides need to

jkccoug

6/12/18 11:51am

UPE does a lot of things wrong. Their very existence is wrong.

crazY

6/12/18 5:34pm

Your second sentence is not true.

jkccoug

6/12/18 6:58pm

Necessary? That is debatable.

BYUtka

6/12/18 7:28pm

No, it's not necessary.

crazY

6/12/18 8:21pm

If you got rid of them you would have a much worse parking situation

jkccoug

6/12/18 9:23pm

Do you know how they do business, or are you assuming that you know how they

crazY

6/12/18 9:28pm

I know.

jkccoug

6/12/18 10:03pm

Well, if you know someone in the business, tell them they suck at what they

crazY

6/12/18 10:16pm

I will pass that along.

jkccoug

6/13/18 10:00am

Would we? I am not so sure.I don’t think they are performing a necessary service

BYUtka

6/13/18 6:35am

Agreed. They're predatory at best.

crazY

6/13/18 8:05am

Predatory is the exact word...and why they are a problem.

westsidecoug

6/13/18 9:11am

I wonder about conspiracy as well

bluelands

6/13/18 9:21am

The employee's and management have the attitude that they own Provo/BYU.

TheLost

6/13/18 9:33am

My one experience with them inidcates to me that they're not to be trusted

BYUMizzou

6/13/18 10:13am

These are their tactics. They are dishonest and have no integrity at best.

ArchbishopMitty

6/13/18 1:32pm

In general you need parking rules to be enforced. Someone has to do that.

jkccoug

6/13/18 10:03am

UPE are jerks about it, they are hyper-technical and often tow or boot cars they

califcougar

6/13/18 12:23pm

Maybe... Maybe not. In either case the police should handle it, not a corrupt

BYUtka

6/13/18 2:17pm

Would we really? I am not so sure. I think they are predatory and unneeded.

BYUtka

6/14/18 7:41am

Ed.- Oddly, I find myself *siding* with UPE but only this last round

Bob Vance

6/13/18 8:43pm

Studying or siding?

crazY

6/13/18 8:53pm

*fixed*

Bob Vance

6/14/18 4:56am

Why? It seems this is nothing but their corruption starting to catch up to them.

BYUtka

6/14/18 6:35am

You think the kid should be liable for defamation?

califcougar

6/14/18 7:26am

UPE claiming defamation is like suing someone for pointing out that a dog

ArchbishopMitty

wasn't there some sort of class action suit, or city ordinance passed about
