What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My question involves small claims court in the state of: NY
Contractor lied through his teeth and won the judgment for the amount of $1500 in small claims. I have been told that with a judgment it is hard and expensive to collect so I contacted the contractor to negotiate and offered $1200 to settle. He would not budge. Does he know something about this process that would allow him to be so non negotiable. FYI, he double charged my 88 year old mom for a cleanup of her basement after a flood. I hate to see him get away with this. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Thank you.
