Is that enough to stand in court alone?

not in every situation. that's why, if you do go to court, you should bring, not only all pertinent papers, but bring supportes who may have actually witnessed, or co-signed the document. it may also be prudent to bring any documentation or persons who could attest to the character of the persons you are suing. It is always best to get every document signed by a witness or even to have it notarized, which you could do at any bank. good luck!

The one thing that I've noticed wasn't brought up at the time I'm writing this is the fact that if you have to go to court to get your money the chances are pretty good that it will end up costing you more than the loan is worth if it is a small loan. Welchers count on this so they have no trouble signing the contract. Be sure to have a witness to the signing otherwise it can become your word against his.

I agree with Mikey about the fact that it would probably cost you more than you're owed. Except that small claims court is pretty inexpensive as far as filing fees go. Only if you have to hire an attorney will it get expensive and if you have a contract signed by them, you probably wouldn't need an attorney. One more thing, you can't get blood out of turnip. In other words, if they don't have the money, they can't give it to you. Sorry you got screwed. People suck. :)

Yes a signed written contract will hold up in small claims court. Contact your local county clerk and she/he can tell you how to file the claim against the person that owes you.

It usually depends on what the written contract says and how it is written. However, you have a strong case because you have a written agreement of repayment. It's always a good idea to have a paper trail. Good luck.

The only guarantees in life are death and taxes.

no, but you can sue and win. Collecting is a different matter.
