What is the name of your state? IL My husband was killed on October 5, 2005. A couple of months later I met a woman who became my friend. I needed some carpentry work done. I needed a back and front deck built. I needed a shed built and a privacy fence put up. My friend was in this line of work. She said she could save me money. I looked at one of her projects and it appeared she was capable of doing my work. I hired her. We became closer as friends and she asked to borrow 2000.00 dollars. I lent it to her. She charged me 6000.00 to do the work. All this was verbal agreements. She failed to tell me that she had a history of siezures. I would not have hired her if I would have known this. One month into my projects she started having grand mall siezures at my house during work hours. She missed a lot of work and I finally had to let her go and hire someone else to finish the job. She didn't refund any of my money nor did she pay back the money I loaned her. She came to my house a couple of days ago and she is now on disability, she has completed bankrupsy and she was driving a new 2008 car. She offered me 200.00 dollars. Since this was a verbal agreement, can I take her to court. Will the fact of her getting disability prevent me from taking her to court. She took advantage of me!!!!!
