Q: i have a friend who owes me money. i had her sign a reciept from the atm and on it stating the terms. do i have a case
terms state to pay back by dec 2018. she lost her job due to drug problems. i want to know if i should seek legal advice and file a claim NOW or wait till after december to see if she actually pays anything back. we have been best friends since we were 8 (now 28) and she is going through a tough time. i want to give her time to get her life back on track but i also dont want to be out 700$. do i have any legal ground?
so i should wait till after December and THEN take legal action if its not fulfilled?
A: Save the document. If the terms say December that is the due date. There is no default yet. You can sue in small claims for this.
