The Truck They Took That I Owned

I kept every paper. I recorded every call. I documented the lies.
A legal aid attorney took my case. She saw the pattern. I wasn’t the first person they’d done this to. But I was the first one who kept the full chain of proof.

They settled. I got my truck back, the fees wiped, my credit fixed, and damages. The manager who called me a liar is no longer with the company.
They counted on me folding. I counted on the truth in my folder. Sometimes the difference between being robbed and winning is nothing more than keeping the receipts.
