Ok, I was married and designed my wedding set (3 carats both bands) When I got divorced, instead of pawning the rings, I "sold" them to a friend who was getting married, for the 3rd time. anyway, she was supposed to pay me $100/ mo for a year, I was giving her a deal. She gave me 2 payments, one for $75 and one for 150, this was 3 yrs ago. Long story short, she cheated on her husband when he went to jaill and he left her.. I want the rings back...I told her to give them back since she wasnt married anymore anyway, but she laughed it off. Should I take her to small claims court?... We've been friends since 9th grade, we're in our mid 30s.. HELP!

Were there circumstances that kept coming up that kept her from being able to repay you & that is why you have waited this long to take her to court? You may want to ask a lawyer if you waited to long to be able to take her to small claims court. I wouldnt be lending her any money if I were you. She has shown she can't be trusted to pay it back. She doesn't seem to think that much of the friendship the two of you have. Or she doesn't value it as you do. The rings would be a financal help to you I am sure, but if you don't want to lose her friendship because of how long you have known each other... let it go. It is totally your call. But if I were you I would check with a lawyer before getting to court and being told by a judge you waited to long. Hope things work out for you.

Tell her to give back the rings, or pay 200 dollars a month for the next year since she didnt do her payments in the first place. Maybe you guys WERE good pals, but if she dosnt give em back, then you should just leave her azz and say u only be friedns with loyal people. Good luck!!! Oh, and you can always take her to court!

It's going to be hard to prove your case if you didn't have anything in writing, and waited 3 long years before doing anything about getting paid. You seem to be saying 2 things: either she didn't pay you for the rings and you want them back (3 years later) OR you want them back because she's not married. Neither argument sounds like it's going to hold water because you should have taken her to small claims court 2.5 years ago.

Tell her to pay up or hand over the rings. She's not acting like a friend if she can't do one or the other. Small claims court may have to play a part in this picture before everything is done and over.

I hope you signed a promissory note or have the original receipt for the value of the rings when you purchased them. Also, try to have pictures with the rings on you especially if you said you designed it. Anyway, this is the proof you need to help your case in small claims court. Definitely take her to court. She is not your friend. She just wants to look good with the bling on her hand.

Yes, you will probably have to take here to small claims court. I hope you got something in writing from her. Otherwise, it's her word against yours. Some friend she is!! Also, the time limitation may have run out. Check with the court.

Did you have her sign a contract or "something" in writing that would state and will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt she owes you money for the ring? If you don't have evidence in writing, then you don't have a leg to stand on. Otherwise, you could seek counsel from a lawyer. Maybe, he can help. But, it's gonna cost ya, too!
So sorry to be a bearer of bad news.

I would suggest talking to her about it again, and emphasize how serious the matter is to you. Before you take her to court, weigh your friendship in one hand, and wedding rings in the other.
