What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
4 years ago I bailed a friend out of jail $500. I also helped this same person pay some of there bills $375. In 4 years he has managed to pay me back only $100. This was all verbal, nothing written down just man to man and a hand shake. Not only have I not been payed back but he refuses to pay me back, telling me "good luck getting the money from me". Aside from never lending money to anyone ever again what can I do. Without a written agreement can I even take it to small claims court? If I could, for such a small amount is it even worth it or should I just kiss my money goodbye?
P.S. I'll watch my mouth this time. I let a few swear word out last time (it was not out of anger, just the way I talk) and my thread got shut down. This is your forum not mine so I will show the proper respect from now on.
