What is the name of your state? FL
Hi,
Me and my ex-girlfriend had a cruise together about 3 weeks ago.
For both of us I used cash, she used CC. We agreed to this arrangement with promise to pay each other back what owed fairly. Shortly after the trip I found out she had a boyfriend on the side and we broke up.
Now she wants to get half of the CC balance back forgetting to subtract the cash I spend on her. Total CC balance for the trip $1200 / 2 = $600.
I said that I have no problem paying back what I owe but minus the cash I spent on her, tips, bars, sueveneers, and so on splitting right in the middle. For example: I paid to park her car for 3 nights $30 divided by 2 = $15 - that needs to be subtracted from the amount I owe. She also used CC to buy things just for herself, which are not subtracted from that amount either.
To make a story short, I asked her (in writing) couple of weeks ago to give me that detailed bill from the cruise, so I will have enough time to calculate the amount owed, warning that the time is essential because we're both busy people. She agreed, but didn't produce the bill till the last moment, leaving me no time to do the numbers.
Now she is filing the small claim because I didn't come up with the money at her request at the time she wishes to. During all that time I was trying to communicate with her via email in civilized manner, but only what I got was irritating emails and angry late phone calls.
It is not my fault that she didn't give me the records on time. Consequently, I need time too to calculate the numbers.
1) Does she have a case in small claims, taking into account that in multiple emails I stated that I don't have problems paying what is fairly owed after her producing the records? (only 3 weeks past after the trip).
2) I have diabetes and with all that unfair stress she gives me with late calls and such, my sugar is out of wack and I had to take some time off from work. Can I counter sue her for the lost work time or health related damages?
3) What should be my tactics in court?
4) As far as final amount owed, most likely: will it be $600 or 600 minus (my cash/2 + stuff she bought for herself) ?
4) Will be all my efforts to communicate with her in civilized manner with no result taken into account affecting the final decision?
Thank you.
