We tried to help someone out. We considered him a decent guy that just needed a good break, a chance to get his life together.

Life is the sum of all our choices, he kept making bad ones.

Finally, we removed him from our lives. When someone won’t save themselves, its time to save yourself.

One of the loose ends left from his time with us was money spent getting some emergency dentistry done for him. He still owes us that money and shows no intention in paying it back. Angela decided to take legal action. The story continues below.

OMG, it really happened!
LOL

I just got a call from Judge Alex to go on their show with the small claims suit I’ve filed against the guy that owes me about $600!

Ha! Apparently they troll the small claims suits that are filed and try to get the suit tried on the show. The trick is that if you win, the defendant does NOT have to pay – the claim is paid on the spot by the show. Getting the money all at once is very appealing, but it sort of ruins the point of the suit. I want the person to PAY! Also, I’m sure the defendant would relish TV time in lieu of paying me.

So, NO. Even if it takes years to get the money, I’d rather deal with garnishment than let this person get off scot-free.

I gotta say, though, it was damned funny to get that call! I’m still giggling!
