Is there any legal action i can take for someone who owes me money?

Answer 1

You can take them to small claims court if the amount is less than the limit for your local court. If the amount is more, you would need to file a law suit. In small claims court neither part is represented by a lawyer therefore making the process less expensive. You need to prove your case is "more-likely-than-not" based on what the court calls a preponderance of the evidence.

You will need to have something that shows the person owes you the money. This can be a contract or something as simple as an IOU.

If the amount is too high to take to small claims court, you should consult with a lawyer.

Answer 2

Yes there is and the action you take can be done before a Judge such as Judge Judy etc. The amount you sue for depends on what you believe this person owes you.

So let's break this down:

1. You believe this person owes you money.
2. You need proof and preferrably written signed proof showing this person wrote or submitted something to you showing all that this person is in debt to you.
3. The proof is upon the accuser which is you to prove your case.
5. You must be convincing and show something to the court that you are owed.
6. Bring evidence of their debt. Friend, neighbor policeman who witnessed the transaction etc.

Court filing fees are small and usually under $50. Good luck...

Answer 3

Yes. If you have evidence of the debt. Then you can get some relief in small claims court. The process is for you to file a form with the Marshal's office, or court clerk and have either the Marshal or yourself (even someone you trust) served the papers to whoever owes the money to you.

Answer 4

If it's under a certain amount, you can take them to small claims court. This is the least costly form of civil lawsuit because you don't have to hire a lawyer and the fees are minimal. The maximum amount of the claim varies from state to state, but is typically around $2500.
