What is the name of your state (Missouri)?
I would first like to start out by saying that I have ZERO experience and almost ZERO knowledge of the legal system, just short of traffic laws.
Today I received a phone call from a lady that is threatening to sue me because she claims I owe her $900 for using an near- abandoned garage she owned last year.
We had a verbal contract that I would fix her computer network at her place of business in exchange for using the garage for a few weeks to do an engine swap for a friend.
After returning the key to her weeks later she claimed that I owed her $900 (or $45 a day) for renting out this facility. I told her that I was under the impression that I fixed her computers and I used the garage with no exchange of money. Keep in mind this garage hasn't been used in over 3 years.
She is a money mongrel and even forced my mother into bankruptcy last month for different reasons. She claims to be a good Christian woman but at the end of the night she is just a gold digger. She has sent many many people to the financial gallows over the last 6 years as she is a "dis-honest" person when it comes to contracts.
She has been threatening to sue me for quite some time now, yet the phone call today addressed that she was sending me papers.
I know verbal contracts are just as good as written ones but written ones are in harder stone.
So my question- " Do I have anything to worry about?"
I have several witnesses as to fixing the computers, the thought to be original contract, and the new threats.
I'm concerned because she knows a lot of people and has made many lives miserable.
HELP PLEASE.
