Yes you really do need to take this someone to court. If for no other reason than it may stop this person from doing this sort of thing again to other people.
You should fight in the courts for your money, but get legal advice first, before proceeding any further. Try (CAB) The Citizen Advice Bureau as they will be able to put you in touch with their own legal beavers in the first instance.

you could always use some legal help if we are talking business partner or customer.. otherwise (in this case) i would strongly recommend that you take this experience as a positive example of NOT lending people money. Sometimes we need to make a mistake to improve ourselves... I always thought that behaviors concerning money determine a lot about ones self. This fact could be a new start for you to reconsider people you involve with and exchange. I would say let it go and consider it the money you spend to gain such an experience...

The question really is: is it worth it to you to spend the time in court? Do you have documentation proving the debt? Is the person a 'friend' and do you want them to stay that way? That is a lot of money and I know I would look to get it back, friend or no.
Answer these questions and make your decision. Good luck.

you won't be able to stress her to pay without taking her to small claims courtroom, and being which you haven't any longer have been given plenty written evidence, you won't get something in any respect. As for being tight on money, you will ought to shrink down on your spending until you may get caught up, borrowing it from somebody else only makes yet another debt. while managing money or possessions, inspite of acquaintances, continually have written contracts, and stable or undesirable, record each little thing interior the direction of the existence of the contract. you will have an much less stressful time interior the destiny could you wind up in courtroom.

You could take them to a small claims Court but there is no guarantee even then that you will get your money. You could always tell your story to That's Life magazine and name and shame the person involved. It would be nice if they were 'on the fiddle' and you could report them to the appropriate authorities too. Best of luck.

If they owe you then they owe you - go to court for it - BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE SURE YOU'LL WIN!! Otherwise you'll be left with a legal bill, probably theirs too and you won't have got your money back either!!
Speak to Citizens Advice if in doubt

See if you can get an attorney to write a threatening letter. I have had success with this in the past. Some people tend not to ignor an attorney.
