so, i've called them twice this morning.

the first agent claimed that there was no order, despite me being able to read that there is one, on my screen. the second agent suggested that the adjudicator may have indicated in the software that a order was issued, without actually ordering one.

this is all completely absurd. do i think the adjudicator opened the record in the database, but didn't upload the file? not really, no. i trust the tool more than i trust the agents. but, three people have refused to read the information to me over the phone, so i'm just going to have to sit tight until i get a response.

i sent an email to the landlord's paralegal last night indicating that i will be withholding rent until i see the order, but intend to pay the balance in full. this is under the expectation that they owe me well over $700, and that paying rent would be pointless - but also indicates that i do intend to pay it, if i'm wrong.

so, i mean, they can file what they'd like to file, but the reality is that they're the ones that owe me money, and quite a bit of it.

it would be very useful if i could get a copy of the order in the next hour, but it's not going to change how i act.

there is a court date set for the 6th of september, and there's little question that i'm going to demonstrate that they owe me money, rather than the other way around.
