Hi,
I live in Ohio.
I have a well documented loan agreement under signature with a family member, due date has come and gone, and they have not kept up their end. In fact, they have not paid anything in spite of several written notices.
Can I sue for the amount (include attorney's fees and court costs), get a judgement, and pursue repayment through garnishment of wages (and if I could how would I do the garnishment?) Or write it off as a bad debt whereby they are held accountable as earned income and owe taxes. And last, does anyone know the allowances of writing off a bad debt on your taxes?
Appreciate any input, thx.
