[QUOTE="Pb Slinger, post: 1338652, member: 14338"] ** I'm not a lawyer, either. But here is what I encountered with similar circumstances.** If I choose to go the small claims route, I have to pay court costs. If I win the case, then the debtor will be obliged to pay the judgement, plus court costs. With a judgement on my side I become creditor with the ability to garnish paychecks, conduct asset hearings where the debtor is forced to disclose all assets, with the assistance of local sherriff I can seize certain assets. Sometimes, all it takes is being served legal papers and people will whip out the wallet, if they legitimately owe a debt. The gamble is, can I prove that the debtor owes me this money back? I sent a succesion of certified letters to the debtor requesting payment, laying a paper trail for possible civil action. This is far less expensive, and may just get the desired results. Good luck! ***Not an attorney. Not legal advice*** [/QUOTE]
