What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington State
Last July (2007) we met with neighbors and agree to put up a fence on our property and all of our neighbors agreed to pay 50% of the cost of the fence that bordered their properties.
one neighbor paid, one didn't. Taking the one who didn't to court.
This was a verbal agreement, witnessed by the other neighbor. Although I don't want to rely on them being witnesses in court...we have proof of the other neighbors payment and already have an email from a 3rd party who witnessed their "interest" in sharing the cost of the fence...as well as documentation of every time and conversation we have had for the last year about collecting the money...
Do you think we stand a chance of winning our claim? What else should we get to sinch the deal???
Also, that neighbor posted a letter on our door saying they were going to counter sue us for a frivolous law suite...but it isn't frivolous...is it? We are attempting to collect money for goods/services...on a tangable debt with proof....not humiliate them for no reason.
