A person owes me money. Time and time again I have called and left message asking where my money is. (This person ignores me so that's why I call.) I have left messages saying that I am prepared to take legal action to get my money if needed. I got a message saying that he is tired of the threats, if I contact him 1 more time he will file harassment. I said that I am not making threats, I will take legal action, that's all. Does he have grounds for harassment? What happens if he does file that? Do I get arrested? What happents?

He can file for harassment if he has proof & I see where you wrote here that you left messages. (he sounds like that kind of coward so I wouldn't put it past him) Don't call him anymore because that is just going to make a bigger mess. You can go to small claims but WITHOUT PROOF your up a creek without a paddle. I'm sorry that you had to find out the hard way but it's basically gone if there is no signed agreements. I hope that you didn't give him a super amount of money where you can count your losses. Try to be careful next time & be sure to warn others who may know this person not to loan him any money because he is not reliable. Don't worry! He'll get his turn some way or another in time. We all have found ourselves in these types of situations & you learn who you can "really" trust. I've been in this type of situation too.

i'm hoping which you have a tape on your tape voice message device, in case you do, shop the single that has his assertion approximately being uninterested in harassment, or extra effectual yet, call him returned and ask him "Why won't you pay me the money you owe me" you could desire to get his reaction onto tape (ideally on a 2d tape). you do not have a written settlement, so it is extra of a he pronounced she pronounced, any documentation you could dig up which contain a canceled verify that became into written to him for the quantity you're claiming will bolster your declare. A verbal settlement demands a "assembly of the Minds" in different words, the two you and he comprehend that it incredibly is a private loan it quite is envisioned to be paid returned. in case you will get any of this documentation at the same time, flow all the way down to the courthouse and record a small claims experience against him, he will better than probable counter sue for harassment, it quite is basic yet he could have little or no possibility of restoration. i think of that the 1st question the choose could ask him is why do you think of that she is calling you, what can he say different than "she thinks I owe her funds" for this reason you could desire to leave him a voice message asking why he has no longer paid. My guess is you will win a judgment against him alongside along with your court docket expenses, and he gets no longer something on his counter declare stable success

No, he has no grounds for claiming harassment. Do you have a written contract with this person? If you go to court and have no legal documentation to prove this person owes you money, it is your word against the other person's word.

Do you have proof that he/she owes you the money (ie recepits, signed contract, cancelled check)? If so, then no its not harassment, YOU are trying to collect on a debt.
I suggest not to call him again, just file in small claims to recover your money.
