Q: I am owed money, What do I do?
I let an ex borrow $500 while we were together. He has constantly kept tabs with me on when he would be able to pay me back, he has been in a rough spot with losing his job so I never worried to much about it, and thought as soon as he got back on his feet, he would pay me back. 4 months later we break up and still no pay back. I have messages with him saying he will pay me back, but i no longer trust his word. I asked him to sign an agreement that we can both agree on, and he is refusing. Keeps stating he will pay me back and I need to shut up. What do I do? Can I come to his home with the letter and ask to sign? I have saved messages asking for us to come to an agreement on this, and I am being ignored. He is threatening a restraining order if I do not stop contacting him. What do I do?
A: Perhaps you should file suit against him. Have you considered filing a small claims case?
