Hi, I'd like to know if I have a chance of winning a case against my ex-boyfriend. He owes me $6,000. We broke up almost two years ago but were together for 5 1/2 years since I was 16. I live here in Ohio but he moved to California.
During this one year he needed help badly when he was kicked out of his apartment and had no where to go. I was naive and stupid when I was young and gave him my life savings of $2,500 to help him with a new place to stay, groceries, and I even paid for some of his car bills. He promised to pay me back and I believed in him.
He still couldn't find a good job enough to keep up with his bills AND pay me. I remember my mom loaning him $500 to buy a camera and start his passion in the photography business. He did buy the camera but never seriously pursued a business in it but he truly loved photography....Anyways he ended up moving to be with his parents in California and then ended up joining the Army. He promised he'd pay with his bonus but then bought a car to get to work. When he came back he begged me to get him this $600 HTC smart phone so we can keep in touch and that he'd pay with his airborne school money from the Army. Nothing...anyways we ended up breaking up due to the distance but he promised to pay me back.
During the first several months we broke up, I realized that $10-$20 was being deduced from my bank account each money. I didn't realize this 7 months into it. It racked up to me about $200 some dollars. I traced it and it turned out to be from his hometown (it had to be him!) and the xbox online bills. He claimed he thought his brother was paying for the bills and didn't know my card was entered in. Whatever. We were on decent terms and still speaking so he gave me SOME money....that is until he met a girlfriend and got married pretty quickly.
Payment stopped since he wasn't allowed to talk to me because of her jealousy. He PROMISED he'd pay when he got back from his deployment in Afghanistan...it's been a year and he's BACK now and is IGNORING ALL OF MY MESSAGES, TEXTS, Facebook messages, etc. NO WORD at all when I know for sure he's seen it.
Here's why I think I might have a chance to win and let me know if this works out in my favor legally
1. Recorded conversations
I hope Facebook can be used as proof. I have proof of all of our conversations AND arguments over the money owed. He admitted to OWING me amount of money owed, PROMISED me he'd pay me when he gets back from his first deployment, and ADMITTED that my account was being charged from his XBOX without my consent. Is this any help at all?
2. I have statements that show up to 5 months of being charged monthly of this XBOX transaction. I have older statements but I'd have to pay $6-$8 if I want to obtain them.
It sucks because here in Ohio small claims only goes up to $3,000. Honestly I just want some of the money back because I feel like I deserve it.
