I MOVED TO BEND OREGON A FEW MONTHS AGO TO HELP TAKE CARE OF MY MOTHER.


I AM 55 YEARS OLD, AND ON THE 29th OF OCT, MY EX-GIRLFRIEND CONTACTED ME AND


SAID SHE WAS STRANDED IN PHOENIX ARIZONA AND STAYING AT A SHELTER AND WOULD


I PLEASE COME AND GET HER. SHE IS ALSO PREGNANT WITH MY CHILD AND DUE IN MARCH.


I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SPEAK OF, BUT I GATHERED ALL I COULD COME UP WITH AND GOT


A PRE-PAID VISA CARD FOR THE TRIP (FLIGHTS,MOTEL,EATS AND ETC.). THE EARLIEST FLIGHT


I COULD GET OUT WAS UNITED AIRLINES OCT,31 AM. I BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR $263.64 AND FLEW


OUT ONE WAY TO PHX. WHEN I ARRIVED THERE AND GOT TO A MOTEL AND CHECKED IN I THEN


REALIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BALANCE ON MY CARD AND CHECKING IT


I FOUND OUT THAT UNITED HAD TAKEN TWO FARES OF $263.64 OFF MY CARD WITHIN A MINUTE


APART FOR THE ONE WAY FLIGHT, SO I CONTACTED UNITED AND EXPLAINED THE MISTAKE AND


WAS TOLD TO CALL THE NEXT DAY BEING IT WAS SUNDAY. AFTER TALKING WITH THEM THAT DAY


I DECIDED TO BOOK MY RETURN FLIGHTS THREW ALLEGIANT AIRLINES FOR THAT FRIDAY AND PAID


FOR THEM WITH MY CARD. THE NEXT DAY I CONTACTED UNITED AS I WAS TOLD TO AND HAD TO


EXPLAIN IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT BY A SUPERVISOR AFTER EXPLAINING THAT


EVERY PENNY I HAD WAS ON THAT CARD AND WHY I MADE THIS TRIP, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO


ONLINE AND REQUEST A REFUND WHICH WOULD TAKE 5-7 DAYS TO RECIEVE. I EXPLAINED MY


SITUATION TO THE SUPERVISOR AGAIN AND THAT I COULD'NT WAIT AND EVERYTHING I HAD WAS


ON THIS CARD. I WAS THEN TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED WITHIN AN HOUR, I WAS NOT BUT SHE


DID GET THE MISTAKE BACK ON MY CARD AND I WAS THANKFUL AND RELIEVED. THIS BEING MONDAY


AND 4 DAYS TILL OUR FLIGHTS WE WENT TO SLEEP. I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING AND WENT TO PAY


ANOTHER DAY AT THE MOTEL AND MY CARD WAS REJECTED WHICH WAS IMPOSSIBLE, SO I CALLED


ON THE CARD AND SPOKE WITH THE BANK AND WAS TOLD THAT AFTER UNITED REPLACED THIER MISTAKE


THE DAY BEFORE WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS THEY TOOK TWO MORE FARES OFF MY CARD AND A


$25.00 CHARGE FOR SOMETHING I HAVE NO CLUE WAS FOR. FRANTICALLY I CALLED UNITED AGAIN AND


EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THIER FIRST MISTAKE AND WHAT THEY HAD DONE, I


ALSO TOLD THEM MY SITUATION AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO ONLINE AND REQUEST


A REFUND FROM THIER REFUNDS DEPT. I EXPLAINED THAT I COULD'NT AND THAT THEY HAD TAKEN EVERY


PENNY I HAD OFF MY CARD AND THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THEY HAD MADE A MISTAKE ONLY


NOW THEY HAD TAKEN EVERYTHING AND THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO BE THROWED OUT OF OUR MOTEL


ROOM AND IT WAS THREE DAYS TILL OUR FLIGHTS OUT THAT IT WAS 45 MILES TO THE AIRPORT AND


NOW WE DONT HAVE ANY MONEY, NO WAY OF GETTING ANY AND NO WHERE TO GO. I AGAIN WAS TOLD


TO GO ONLINE AND FILE AND WAIT 5-7 DAYS. WE WERE THROWN OUT OF THE MOTEL ALL THOUGH THEY WERE


NICE ABOUT IT BUT THEY ARE IN BUISNESS AND I UNDERSTAND. SO WITH THE $11.00 I HAD IN MY POCKET I


GOT MY GIRLFRIEND BACK TO WHERE SHE WAS, AND I STAYED ON THE STREETS WITH NO MONEY TO EAT AND


NO WAY OF GETTING ANY FOR 3 AND A HALF DAYS. MY MOTHER IS ON DISABILITY AND BARELY MAKES IT BY AS


IT IS SO I HAD NO OTHER RESOURCES AND ONLY KNEW MY GIRLFRIEND THERE. IT WAS NOW FRIDAY, 48 MILES TO


THE AIRPORT, AND OUR FLIGHTS TOOK OFF AT 8:30am AND I WAS STILL STRANDED, MY GIRLFRIEND WAS SCARED


BUT AT LEAST SAFE. SOMETIME AROUND 11:30 am - 1:30pm I'M NOT SURE UNITED PUT SOME OF THE MONEY BACK


ON MY CARD BUT IN NOWAY NEAR ENOUGH TO GET EVEN ONE FLIGHT BACK HOME LET ALONE TWO AND A TAXI.


THIS IS NOT RIGHT WHAT WE HAD TO GO THREW AND I NOT ABLE TO EVEN EAT FOR THREE DAYS I WAS HUMILIATED,


HUNGRY, EMBARRESSED, SOME WHAT SCARED, WAS TOLD I COULD'NT SIT AT A PARK AT NIGHT BY THE POLICE ALTHOUGH


THEY WERE UNDERSTANDING THAT STILL DID NOT HELP MY SITUATION, I HAD TO SCRAPE WHAT I HAD LEFT AND WITH WHAT


MY MOTHER DID'NT HAVE TO SPARE I GOT ENOUGH FOR A TICKET WITH ALLEGIANT AIR BACK TO BEND TO TRY AND GET THIS


STRAIGHTENED OUT. MY GIRLFRIEND IS STILL THERE SCARED AND VERY ANGRY, AND I CAN'T GET NO RESOLUTION TO THE


LOSS WE HAVE INCURRED THREW THIS WHOLE MATTER. I LOST EVERYTHING WENT THREW A NIGHTMARE, WENT HUNGRY,


SLEPT ON THE STREETS, LOST MY FLIGHTS, MY GIRLFRIEND IS STILL STRANDED PREGNANT AND SCARED AND I CAN'T GET


NO HELP. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP AND I'M POOR AND DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR AN ATTOURNEY, BUT MOST


OF ALL I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO WAIT CAUSE SHE'S STILL STRANDED. PLEASE GIVE ME A DIRECTION AN AVEANUE OF SOME


SORT THIS IS JUST NOT FAIR THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.

Too bad you hate Canadians

AUTHOR: Marinoni - (Canada)

POSTED: Monday, November 29, 2010

I lived in the U.S for about 6 years and found that Americans are no different than Canadians. There are many really nice people and some real jerks.

Canadians

AUTHOR: WissNX01 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, November 29, 2010

I cant stand Canadians.  Somehow they all think they are European and are perfectly okay to be smug.  The Greyhound suggestion is the best so far.  Its cheapest, and its effective.  I will grant you that.  But the only hurt I have in my life is the hurt I get from reading about dumb people doing dumb things.

Practical reply, I hope so?

AUTHOR: Marinoni - (Canada)

POSTED: Sunday, November 28, 2010

Why not buy a Greyhound ticket and have her pick it up at a terminal in Phoenix. It's about $190. Send her what money you have(Western Union) so she can buy food and diapers for the trip. Ignore the pathetic criticism offered by others who have replied. They are hurting and like to try to hurt others for some perverted reason.

You seem to skip over the fact that Mr 55 Year old decided to give up, put Preggers back into the homeless shelter and scoot back to Bend Oregon.  The guy would have been better off to buy a flight for Preggers, direct her to get to the airport, and get on a plane.  How many tickets did he buy?  I lost count.  He blames United, but it might just be that this guy has no idea how the internet works, how prepaid Visa cards work, and a lack of common sense.

You take offense to me hammering him for being 55 years old and having a pregnant girlfriend.  Why?  Did I suggest that he should not have a younger girlfriend?  You took offense to that because you have been accused yourself of being a cradle robber.  I never suggested that.  What I have a problem with is a supposed adult man getting something pregnant and not having the means of which to deal with it.  That is the problem here. 

The obvious solution is for this guy to get sterilized and for Preggers to have an abortion as to not infect the rest of the gene pool.

who died and made u God

AUTHOR: Raymeus - (Canada)

POSTED: Sunday, November 21, 2010

This is to the person who criticized you . Mr perfect where do u come off talking to someone like that . Who knows how he got his girlfriend pregnant , life is not black and white , there are many grey areas . Maybe they fell in love , maybe things were good when she got pregnant . Everyone makes mistakes and falls on hard times , but u dont call them stupid . Iam 51 married to a 27 year old and we will have a baby sometime . Are u going to call me stupid . I wonder what ur story is and the mistakes u have made . I bet your circumstances are not so great but u cover it up by criticizing others .

Stupid

AUTHOR: WissNX01 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, November 21, 2010

Mike, this is straight out of Jerry Springer. You did everything wrong. First off, why is a 55 year old disabled man impregnating women without the means to even support yourself? Second, I lost track off all the plane tickets you bought, but this could have been accomplished with a single ticket for your preggers girlfriend. I wonder what she looks like and what her standards are to have even to have let you slip it in her to begin with. Your an idiot, and if you reply, refrain from all caps if you have more than one usable brain cell
