Peter Greenberg: Avoid After-the-Fact Charges From Rental-Car Companies
Eleven days after returning and paying for a rental car at the airport, I received a letter saying I was being charged an additional cleaning fee of $69 for pet-hair removal. This charge is fraudulent, as there was never an animal in the car. I've tried repeatedly to contact the branch manager, but to no avail. –Alga Vose, St. Louis

Peter Greenberg: Airline Seats Next to X-Large Travelers
Peter, here's a dilemma for you: A woman sits beside me on a Delta Flight. She carries a seatbelt extender and raises the armrest between us so she can fit into her own seat, plus 25 percent of mine. What are my rights at that time and after the flight? Seems to me that if I don't get all of my seat, I should be compensated or she should be moved. I would very much appreciate your thoughts.
