InAFog Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 My ex owes me a good amount of money. I had him sign a contract about making monthly payments which he had been keeping up with. Now he's got a new girlfriend he's wining and dining, and its been almost two months since i've recieved a payment. I reeeally don't want to contact him, but i also just want my damn money and get this over with so our ties are severed!! I'm thinking i'll just send him a txt saying "$$" or something and then not even open his response and assume he'll send something. But i also am scared that doing even this will set me back since i've already been having a hard time with him having a new gf. Advice??

I would let it go. If you aren't emotional then ask but if you are, it's not worth it.
Author InAFog Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 I've thought about letting it go. But it is quite a substantial amount, that i could really use too, since the breakup about destroyed my financial security.
Simon Phoenix Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Send a certified letter and threaten to take him to small claims court if he doesn't comply. If you need the money, you have to get the money. You shouldn't be heartbroken by the break and at a financial loss. 1

I'll let it go for a bit i guess, and if i don't see anything this month, i'll probably do that. - - or maybe get someone to break his thumbs. 1
Own Worst Enemy Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Eg a pro Bono legal clinic and they will draft you a formal letter of claim. It sounds awful but it's better than losing the money or getting back in touch with him...
LostOne1 Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 yeah I wouldn't get back in touch. I'd get some service or letter and send it. You shouldn't need to make direct contact with him.
