What is the name of your state? California
Way back in 1988, I was approached by my closest friends sister and brother-in-law. They were in danger of losing their house and needed $2500.00 to bring it up to date. They had 4 daughters so I told them I would loan them the money providing they pay me back in time to pay my income taxes. They agreed I would have my money in the next 2 months.
I received one payment of $100.00. I have been calling them periodically all these years. My friends sister finally told me it is not her debt, but her husbands. She says she will not take responsibility for something that is his fault. (I think it was so long ago, she doesn't even remember how it all came down.) I would never have loaned her husband a cent. I didn't even know him well enough to loan him my umbrella on a rainy day.
Anyway I finally got them to start paying me about 2 years ago. The husband was supposed to pay me 100 bucks a month until paid off. He does well for awhile and then stops alltogether. Then he will start to send payments again for awhile. Now he has stopped again and I have not received a payment for about 5 months. They still own me $700.00. I told them if I have to take them to court that they will pay me 8% interest for the 15 years they didn't pay. That almost doubles the debt.
I am angry because these people have always had everything they wanted. They have even made a few trips to Europe. Two of their kids are now lawyers. You would think they would pay me my money.
Do I have a chance to win or has too much time passed since the original IOU was signed? Yes I have the IOU with the date and both of their signatures on it.
Thanks
