What is the name of your state?
Georgia
I apologize if I include too much personal information in this post. I've never done this before, so I don't know just how much information is important and what I should leave out. I'll just summarize the whole thing the best way I can.
On December 8th, 2007, I sent a moneygram for the amount of $1800 to a friend's (ex)fiance in order for them to pay first month and security on an apartment when they ran into an issue with their (His) bank and it locked up. With the transfer fee, the total amount loaned came to $1880. I was promised by the guy that he would reimburse me in full.
He has managed to pay me $575 of that (mostly out of being pressed by my friend/his (then)fiance to do so) to bring the total amount owed to $1305. However, due to my friend leaving him, he no longer seems to be intent on paying me, and is instead ignoring my every attempt to contact him. I've sent him emails, instant messages and have not heard a single thing from him in nearly a month. And knowing the kind of person he is, he is just going to continue to ignore me as long as he has no legal obligation to pay.
My question is, do I have a case? And if so, what should I do to go about this and get him to pay me what he owes me?
As for proof, I have all of the original receipts for the moneygram stating the amount, the date, the recipient and his bank info. I also have tried to get him to sign something saying he will pay me, but he blew that off. All I have in regards to his agreement is an Instant Message in which he tells me Yes, he will pay me, and actually plans to send out a check next payday. Well "next payday" was two weeks ago, and I've not heard from the guy since then, and frankly, I don't expect him to live up to his word on his own.
Can anybody give me some advice as to how I might go about this and get my issue resolved?
Thank you for any help offered, it is all greatly appreciated.
Edit: Oh, also, the person lives in Massachusetts, if that matters.
