What is the name of your state? New York
I lent someone $6200 last year (with the intent of them paying me back my the end of the summer, 2007) and have not yet received a dime! I keep hearing "I promise I'll pay you back, I'm not the scumbag you think I am", etc, all of which I now have recorded (about 15 conversations promising to pay me back over the last 4 months). Someone told me that in NY it IS legal to tape record conversations for CONTEXT of loan. I am going to take him to small claims court (and unfortunately lose $1200, but I don't have a choice). I do not have a lawyer to help me. Can someone please tell me if this will hold up as evidence in NY?
Thank you,
