What is the name of your state? Maryland
In September 2001, my husband and I signed up and paid for a trip to Jamaica with a bunch of friends...we were scheduled to leave on September 15, 2001. Due to September 11th, we couldn't get a flight out and our trip was postponed to January - DH and I couldn't go due to work and personal obligations, so we "sold" our spots to two other people. One paid at the time of transfer, one didn't, and still hasn't.
The friend who coordinated this vaction sent me this e-mail when I told her we could no longer go:
My husband found 2 people to take your spot on the vacation. One is X's girlfriend. The other is our friend Y. Just a warning: Y is slow to pay back so it may be a little while before you get all of your money.
Last January (a year after Y took this vacation on my dollar) he gave us $300 (the total of the trip was $1,400 per person) and we haven't seen one dime since. I sent him this e-mail last week:
Y – I need to collect the remainder of the money you owe us for the Jamaica trip. You paid us $300 last year, which leaves $1100 owed to us. If you could send us a check, within the next few weeks, that would be great. Our address is:
and haven't heard one peep. My plan is, if he doesn't pay me – I wanted to see want to sue him for the $1100 plus interest, plus legal fees...do I have a case?
My next step would be to send a certified letter - should it come from me, or should I contact a lawyer?
