Hello everyone,
First timer here, and I apologize if this topic is not done properly.
I loaned my mother $712.95 to help her when she was in need almost a year ago.
Still to this day, I have yet to receive even $1 back from her, and being my mother I just let it slide, all I would do when I seen her was simply ask for some back, or remind her that she did still owe it and I direly need the money back.
Well, I decided the other day, since I have yet to receive any money or anything other than an empty promise that I would make a contract with a date of half a year, to give her to date to work against, and she refused to sign it.
I told her that I need the money and that I do have receipt of the money order that I signed to the company she needed it for with her name on it but my signature as the customer that bought the money order, and that mothers and children are not suppose to "steal" from eachother like this.
She had then informed me that as far as she is concerned she is not my mother and that doesnt bother her at all.
With that being said, is it in bad taste for me to take her to small claims and sue for the money back?
As for evidence, all I have is the receipt signed to the company, from her name, but under money order purchaser it has my signature showing I paid for the money order...is that enough to win the case on my behalf?
Sorry for the long story, I just wanted you to know the whole story before giving a decision or advice.
Thank you.
