What is the name of your state? I am in Virginia. I dated a man for 2 years and he didn't work for 1 1/2 years. He lived and continues to live with his mother and never with me. I loaned him almost $2,000 and nothing was put in writing. I paid several cell phone bills for him which is in his mother's name and it went through my checking debit card and I have a copy of one actual check I wrote at the end. For all the others, my checking statement shows the name of the company and all other bills paid to them through my debit card. I do not have an account with this cell phone company. I am planning to get a letter from them stating that, plus the fact that my debit card is linked to payments to this cell phone company.In addition, he got my debit card number and paid one without my consent (no I didn't file charges and now it is too late). I had my card reissued. But by using my card without permission, it cost me another $200.00 in insuffcient funds which shows on my checking statement after the cell phone bill was cleared. I did break off the relationship, but since March 05 when he found a job, I have tried to get him to pay and he laughs and says "take me to court". I have several questions, do I even stand a chance of winning? Do I have to summons his mother since the cell phone bill is in her name and she is elderly. The cell phone bill has two numbers attached, one for him and one for her and he has been responsible for paying the bill. Can I bring up previous convictions of this man since I recently found out that he has been to prison twice for forgery and his mother is the one who filed the charges as he forged her checks? I really need advice as I cannot afford an attorney.
