Q: Is there anything I can do to get my money back? Especially since I have him stating in writing that he would?
This is kind of petty but I feel robbed and want to know if theres anything I can do legally. I loaned a guy some money and have him saying in writing that he promised to pay me back but he never did. Is there anything I can do to get my money back? Especially since I have him stating in writing that he would?
A: I doubt your writing is a Note, but it can be part of the Evidence to sue upon an "Account Stated" in General Sessions Court. You need to file a Civil Warrant, have it served upon him, and then try it. Collection upon a Judgment its the hard part, and I suggest hiring a competent attorney to collect after you get a Judgment. If it is not enough money involved then forget about it.
