Last september i went with my friend to look for a new cell phone/program thingy. Well her credit was bad and that meant she would have to put a down payment. THe guy suggested that i check if my credit is better and get the phone for her. I didn't like the idea because we weren't the best of friends and i already had a phone and the plan that she picked was for two people. anyways. we left the tmobile place with a family plan two phones. and only one person. well before the 14 days came up she decided that she did not like the phone she received so we went back and returned it. The guy said that i should change the name of the person in charge of thebill so that -she receives the bill. well i told her that i did not no longer want to be responsible for her phone. which in the beginnning was my fault. so she payed the down payment and got a phone under her own credit. well a couple weeks later i received the bill from when she had the phone and it was 180 dollars from text messaging.

i asked her to pay her part but when it came to the due date she didn't do it. well i payed for it so i wouldn't get a bad credit report and she never paid me back. it has been over 9 months now and she still has not payed me. everytime i call her she sends me to voice mail and she claims that she tryed to pay me twice but i fell through. Can i take her to small claims court? because it is all her texts. and i have proof.?? thanks

You sure can!!!! You must bring all of your paperwork, from the time you went and got the phone and plan, until your final bill. That should be all you need.

As long as you have the bills with the text messages you might be able to field a solid case in small claims court. However the judge might also say that you entered into a legal and binding contract, your signature is on the original contract agreement. Unless your friend's signature is on it as well you might have a hard time.

You can if you want to , but for such a small amount you might want to chalk it up to a lesson learned and don't do anything like that again. I mean you can get judgment from the court, but then getting her to pay is still a problem.

Yep. You are well within your rights to take her to small claims court. Sounds like you have a pretty decent case. Good luck!

In this country, you can take anyone to court for whatever reason. Just file all the right crap and it's done.
