Q: The defendant hasn't paid me $65 that she owes me for the boutineer and bouquet that I made her for prom. Can I sue her?
She has not paid for her items and it has been a week and the prom has already passed. She does not have the items I made her. She has not replied to any of my texts and calls. She is blatantly ignoring me. I am 19 and she is 18 so I fear that I will not win because I didn't think to have her sign a contract because she has bought a corsage for prom from me before. I have several texts that have her saying that my items are perfect. She says perfect in caps and has an exclamation point at the end. She never once says that she has a problem with paying. She just stopped talking to me. I want to know that if I sue her in small claims court, will I win.
A: Maybe, but would it be worth it? Here is a helpful resource: https://www.mass.gov/how-to/file-a-small-claim-in-the-boston-municipal-court-district-court-or-housing-court
