How can I write a professional and legal document on someone that owes you money and you want every cent back?

unfortunately, unless it was documented when the money was loaned, there is no way to legally bind them to repayment. Do you have a baseball bat?

File suit against them, you must have appropriate documentation. Ie, cancelled checks in order to do so. If you simply gave them cash, you can not file on that. If you paid certain bills for them, keep those receipts, etc. Once you obtain judgment, you can garnish wages, bank accounts, savings accounts, and put a lien against their home.

You should have definitely gotten something in writing before you turned over any money.  You have a contract with this person and they probably have the upper hand because you gave them the consideration and they need to give you the dog.  If they don't give you the dog you can sue them, however, if they are willing to give you the dog I'm not hopeful you'd get your money back instead.  Of course there may be loopholes, and I don't know all the facts, so if it doesn't work out you should at least consult an attorney. Good luck and sorry to hear about the job.

You have to prove to the court you actually made the payments. A bank statement for many months with the amounts highlighted that you withdrew to make cash payments, or actual cancelled checks or a witness that actually saw you hand the cash money to the person who has custody of the child.If you missed the occasional payment you have to admit to that. The judge will decide also on your mannerisms. You must look the judge directly in the eye, answer the questions directly and smoothly. Be sure of the dates you are speaking about do not hesitate or the judge might think you are trying to cover your tracks. Act respectful with yes sir or yes maams. Do not interupt the other person when they are testifying. You should do fine with that.

From now on,for your own good,you really need to stop taking checks, nowadays, even a grocery store is equipped with a check system that will instantly check if the check is either good for the money it's written for or not.\nNowadays, paper checks are a thing of the past, You can take a paper check and convert it into an electronic check and instantly take the money if it was truely there.\nIf someone wants to write you a check, don't take it, instead, say that you only accept cash or credit card. If the person is able to write a check, wouldn't you agree that they can easily give you the money instead?\nI feel very bad for you to be honest, I know how you feel, you must feel rather helpless, but BUT-There are steps you can take to remedy this, I don't know how much effort you want to put towards this, but this is going to take a little....\nHow much info did you get out of this person, If you have her first and last name, you can always try to do a person search, you can go to the check writers bank and ask them if they can give you her new address, you can call the operator and ask for her new phone number, you can do a credit and history search, perhaps giving her about 6 months to settle down before pulling out her credit history search. That is probably your best bet. A credit search might cost $40 dollars or less, but when you have her address and a little complaint served to her, you can bet your buttered buns that you can recover that and some punitive damages and INTEREST.\nYou can also print out every Email and IM attempt you have made to contact her and you can present that to court of course it will be in your favor.\nHave you tried resubmitting the check to her bank? You should also try that.\nYou can also contact me and I can help you out a bit more.\nPlease contact me at betsaidaus@yahoo.com and I will surely tell you something else you can try!\n\nAnyway, whether or not you contact me, I hope you get your money back!

Template letter for claiming back your bank charges here ---> http://www.moneytowers.com/2006/banking-credit/template-for-claiming-back-unfair-bank-charges/\n\nWorked well for me :)

Write out a timeline of everything that happened, attach any documentation you have supporting this information and send it with a letter of complaint to the state bar association.  Follow up on a weekly basis by phone & in person.  Eventually, if you make enough of an nuisance of yourself they may bring all the lawyers involved up on charges, either suspend them for a length of time or disbar them, and make them reimburse you the amount of money you lost.\n\nI went through this same type of thing in Louisiana with an attorney who barely got me divorced and never followed up on the property settlement or child support.  He ended up being suspended for two months and reimbursing me half of the $1000.00 I'd paid him.  It took me two years of being persistant with the Louisiana bar to finally get some satifisfaction in this situation but it worked.

How could someone force you to sign something.  Did he hit you or something?  And the celph is your property, if he said you had to pay 15 bucks to get it back have your dad go kick his butt and call the cops for theft of property.  BTW what grade are you in, you English is horrible.

You can consider taking him to small claims court. You won't need a lawyer for that. The information about how to do it is available from your local court system in your community. If you file a small claim and he fails to respond or show up, you will get a default judgement. That will allow you to attach to any property (real estate) and perhaps go after any payroll with a garnishment. For $1500, I would definately nail his asss to the wall.

First mistake was telling them anything.  You should have been completely silent.  But since you have confessed and are paying them back you can include this in your defense.  The key is to work your a** off and pay them back regularly and with a large amount.  (i.e. $100 a week).  Get a lawyer though, he can make this go a lot better for you.

Florida has a very effective child support enforcement program.  However, it is sometimes administered indifferently according to the county where you live.\n\nIf your ex owes more than $5,000 in back support, you can:\n\n1.  Have his passport taken away - or blocked so that he won't get one when he wants to travel.\n\n2.  Have him arrested and brought before court on criminal charges.  If the amount he is behind is relatively small, he will be forced to make payment arrangements and kept under watch - if he owes a LOT he will go to jail.\n\n3.  Have his child support deducted from his pay check.  The state will not only collect the amount ordered by the courts, but also an additional amount, up to 45% of his total pay before taxes, to make up the back support due to you.  The state also add interest at 10% to what he owes you.\n\nThere is a fellow in Tallahassee by the name of Tommy Thompson who is the top official in the state for child support enforcement.  He's hard to find, but if you start at www.myflorida.com, you can hunt him down.\n\nBut first you need to go to the Department of Children and Families in the county where you live and call upon the child support enforcement people.  There you are able to file a formal request for help in child support collection and enforcement.  Make sure you take along copies of the court orders requiring payment of the support.  Take along a record of how much HAS been paid in child support since the order was issued.  You can hand-write that; even if you must use your memory unaided to remember, make sure you do your best.\n\nThen write down how many months there has been no child support.\n\nIf possible, also take along any records or notes that give the father's full name, permanent address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, driver's license or vehicle tag number if you have them, and place of employment - including his job title, his supervisor's name, and the address of the company.  If he is self-employed or works as an "independent contractor," the DCF staff will help you figure out how to attach his earnings to pay support.  (Especially if he is self-employed, take along a copy of one of his checks - or anything you can learn about his bank accounts.)\n\nBeing prepared and organized when you arrive to make your claim for help will make a very, very big difference in how the claim is handled.\n\nPaying child support is not supposed to make any difference in seeing the kids.  The children need both parents, it is important for them in ways apart from finances.  The law does not allow you to forbid visitation regardless of the status of support payments.\n\nBut the law can be a very imposing tool for collecting support, if you take advantage of the opportunity.

You need to call the numbers that are listed on the collection notices, give them your name and information, and verify with them if the payment is infact taken care of, or needs to be paid.  They are usually more than willing to help you give them their money back.  :)

It sounds to me like a good idea would be to find a lawyer that will either take on your cause as charity or maybe let you work for him to pay off the charges incurred while he helps you get your papers.
