She would have grounds to sue you on the grounds of defamation if you follow through.  Instead, take her to small claims court.

You have to sue the person that owes you the money.  After you win the case, then you can try to collect it from them.  It cannot be done over the internet.

If you sue, they are going to argue in court that the time accrues.  They may even bring a more recent version of the handbook with them.  \n\nYou could try sending a demand letter stating that if you have not received all monies due and payable to you pursuant to handbook section #_____ by 00/00/06 you will file in small claims court.  If that does not work, I expect you will have a real fight on your hands.  Good luck.

You have to contact the State Corporation Commission in Texas (which will be in the state's capitol) or secretary of state to find out who their Registered Agent is.  Then you file the small claims against the company name, but use the registered agent as well on the small claims case document.  Then send it via certified mail to the registered agent.  if no registered agent, you can try sending the case via certified mail direct to the company, but I am not sure if TX law accepts service that way for a corp.

If you make a small gift, then they don't pay tax on it. (Up to nine or ten thousand...)

Yep. Small claims. They will have to show up and they probably do not have the time so usually just the threat of court will be enough.  If they don't show, you win automatically.  I took my landlord to court and it was very satisfying to see him squirm in front of the judge.  That was worth more than the money he had to pay me!

Yes, but the gifts can't have any real value.  You could bake cookies for example, but you couldn't give them money.

Of course you could win the case in court.  The problem is collection after the judgement.  All you'll have is a legal judgement, the person can still stiff you and refuse to pay it.  I would require a form of collateral.  If your friend owns property, with a judgement you could put a lien on it so he/she couldn't sell it or even refi because the title isn't clean.  Get the letter notarized too, the notary would be another witness.  If you have any doubts, don't do it.

Yes nowadys anyone can sue anyone no matter where they are living. It is more if a case of when are they going to sue you compared to if they are going to sue.\nWhat you should do is get in touch with them and discuss your problems, they may allow you more time or something, you never know

call your local superior court and speak with thier Small Claims Advisor.  in a small claims case lawyers are not admissible in court and you will be on a level playing field with your defendant.  however there are limitations as to the ammount you can claim in small claims ct.  so,  pick up the small claims papers at your court, fill them out and have your SC advisor help you with anything you may not understand.  if you happen to live in Ca heres a good link to start off with for some general info.  good luck!\nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/smallclaims/

Absolutely!  Just about anyone can sue anyone for anything!  Whether the plaintiff wins or not is always open to the decision of the court. \n\nIf you owe medical expenses they can sue you.  The judge, if he/she rules in favor of the plaintiff, there are several options available upon judgment.  A few of these area:\n\n1.  Attach (lien) of any real property (land, homes, etc.) In extreme cases you may be forced to sell the property.              \n2.  Garnishment of wages.\n3   Attach (lien) of vehicle (not usually done).\n4.  Interest and late fees.\n5.  Notices filed with public access in county recorder's office.\n6.  Credit  agencies always receives these notices.\n\nIt is always best if you can settle without going to court to arrange the payment of the debt.

small claims court can take care of you. If you paid for something and didnt recieve it and you werent told or signed something saying you wouldne be getting a refund, then you can take them to small claims court. You dont need an attorney. Just call the courthouse and ask them how you file a small claims lawsuit. I would also call the better business bureau or go online for the BBB, they give them a bad rep and you will get your money back. It might be difficult and take a while but you will get it back.

He can try, but he will likely lose.  These were gifts - they are not his property.\n\nGood luck.

If the damages you expect are less than $5000, file in small claims court wherever you live. Go to the courthouse and ask for forms to file a small claims case.\n\nThey will then need to be served for their court date. If they do not show up in court, you get a default judgement, but then it takes up to a year to enforce the judgement with the police, etc.
