收到挂号信,因我拒绝了一个申请人的个人支票, 她 filed discrimination complaint; marked Sex/Female and Discrimination in Financing.主要内容如下:
On August 12, 2011, I filed out an application to rent the house and started to write a check to pay the application fee. Mr. then proceeded to tell me in a raised voice" I no take checks from chicks!" My Step-son, was present at the time of this statement. Mr then repeated this statement a second time. I retrived me application from Mr. at it contained personal information. Mr still trying to rent this house and as of his posting on August 23, 2011 was added (casg only) after the information for the application fee, which had not been there in previous postings. I believe by this action, Mr does not take money from or rent to women.
实际情况如下。
1。我根本就没说“I no take checks from chicks!”。Chicks 这个单词,还是刚刚查字典才知道其中文意思。“少妇?”
2。我的确说了,"I will not take persioanl check for the application fee and could you pay cash?"
3。这个事件后,我的确修改了广告为Application fee:(Cash only)。
我以前都是提请申请人付cash的。因为他们都要1-2天知道结果,personal check必须cash 到账后,才能去做credit and background 调查,时间上是不能完成的;次外,如果支票不能兑付,银行会收我的手续费。所以,我不接受个人支票付申请费。但房租是接受个人支票的。
基于以上的情况,请各位帮忙该如何来应付这个无奈的官司。
1.如何证明我没有说"from chicks"
2.是否拒绝个人支票属于Discrimination in Financing
谢谢了。
