In this Unpaid Debt case, Isabel claims that she made a winning bid at a charity auction as a favor for James, who couldn’t make it. She doesn’t want the Indonesian statue, but James refuses to pay her back and take it.
The voicemail is convincing. The statue being prominently displayed in Isabel’s home also looks pretty bad. This case is now closed; James is the winner. The fine is $0.

I present to you Exhibit A, a voicemail left by James days before the auction reminding Isabel not to buy him anything.
