Question

the person owes me money

the only proof i have is txt message but he try to denied ever get the money from me.

Answer 1

I am assuming you mean owes you money. You would have to take them to small claims court and try and get a judgement. You would have to prove somehow that they owe you money.
If so the judge would award a judgement. he would give them a timeframe in which to pay you back. however they do not enforce this and if after the judgement he or she does not pay you back still you then go and get a writ of garnishment filed for failure to fulfill the judgement. then you can garnish their wages for the amount.

the difference with what the previous person said is that at least where I live, they wont arrest them for not paying, you have to pursue it with the court with the writ of garnishment or other legal procedure.

Answer 2

If you are an adult, you can file against the person in small claims court. It is very inexpensive and you don't need a lawyer. Call your local city hall or court house, they can tell you how it's done where you live.

After you file, the person will be served a summons to appear before small claims court on the date and time the court sets for you. If he/she doesn't show up, you win automatically and he will be sent a judgement with an order to pay. If he doesn't pay, he can be arrested.

If you are not an adult, tell your mom.

Answer 3

I surmise that you mean someone owes you money and refuses to repay.

Your local District Court has a small claims division where you can file to have the court order the defendant repay the money, often with interest and/or legal fees or penalties

They will not give you legal advice, nor will I. Sometimes, if it is a substantial sum, it is worth the expense of a lawyer on contingency to pursue the matter, sometimes not.

Oh, and if it's your drug dealer, or the money is ill gotten gains, as they say, you reap what you sow, hehe

Good luck
