What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
LOUISIANA
A friend of mine needed a loan of $1200.00. So, in August of 2006, being a good friend that I am, I loaned her $1200.00. No contract was signed. We had a verbal agreement that this loan would be paid back in 6 months to 12 months. Well, no payment was made and I would like to bring her to small claims court and have her wages garnished. I contacted the Justice of the Peace in the area and was told to send her a certified return receipt requested letter stated that, if she does not respond to this letter, that this is a validation of the loan that is owed. My question is what is the time limit to bring her to court and what procedure is used to garnish wages.
