What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I want to take a former friend to small claims court because she borrowed $200 and refuses to pay me back. I have text messages and the collateral that she gave me to prove that I am owed the money and that is was a loan, not a gift. The only problem is that she is a heroin addict and I gave her the money because she said she needed it to make her withdraws go away. I didn't want to enable her, but she was crying hysterically and I am weak when a woman pleads with me in that way. I did it because I felt sorry for her. Will I still be able to take her to court and win even though I gave her the money for drugs?
