What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
I had a friend of mine ask me to go with them on vacation. I was unemployed at the time, and told her I couldn't go because I didn't have the money. She said she would pay for everything except food. So I went.
While we were on the trip, she was kicked out of her home. She needed to move immediately upon returning. She told me I needed to pay her back. I said sorry, no can do. She harassed me for a bit and I continued to tell her no. She even suggested I use a student loan to pay her back. Nope. Sorry. (she also made the entire trip a miserable experience and i was pretty peeved about even being there, much less being told that I needed to pay for something that was originally given to me)
Fast forward to tonight and I got a notice dropped on my front porch. Not handed to me, not posted, just dropped on my front porch. She's suing me for half the cost of the trip!
Now, I know she doesn't have a shred of anything where I agreed to pay her for any part of the trip, because I never did.
I have:
the email from her where she booked the trip, nothing is mentioned about me paying for anything.
a message board post where I stated (quote) " She's paying for everything except food, so I'm not eating much" and "I guess I can't look a free *place* trip in the mouth, can I" (end quote). The post is date and time stamped about a month prior to us going.
a receipt where I paid for some passes to local attractions as a thank you for her taking me.
So, knowing that she has no "evidence" other than her word or something she's manufactured, (don't I have to be provided with copies if so?), what do I need to do to defend this? It's basically her word against mine, and I usually get screwed in these situations....
Thanks!
