Collecting on debt
My ex-boyfriend signed a paper stating he owed me $22,000 and he would pay $50 a week. He paid $400 so far, but quit his job and hasn't paid me anything. He is spending money on stupid things like video games, but not paying me a dime. What action can I take? I want his future wages garnished and/or unemployment checks. I can't afford a lawyer, someone please help me.
Re: Collecting on debt
I have read what the other attorney wrote. A little harsh perhaps, but that attorney is right.
You will need to sue this ex-BF. It is a great deal more likely that you will succeed if you hire an attorney.
I suggest that you try to find a lawyer to take this on a contingent fee, taking a part of what you get from the ex-BF. That is Not likely. The ex-BF has no job, sounds completely broke and worthless.
The only other suggestion is to save your money, and then hire an attorney. $22,000.00 is far too much money to just let it go.
This is an expensive and painful mistake by you. I am sorry that you trusted this man far too much. I see a good number of cases like this, in which a person will trust a boyfriend/girlfriend, relative or friend, and lose a great deal of money. A lawyer's advice ahead of time is a great way to avoid this kind of mess.
You have my best wishes.
