  • UPDATE: The former roommate sent a money order the day after this video was posted. Watch here for the update: • Ex-Roommate Pays Me Ba...
    Sharing my story/perspective on suing my former best friend/roommate in small claims court (in los angeles, california). This is not legal advice! If you have any similar experiences or insight on my case, feel free to post a comment!
    It's important to note that there is time limitations, but they are typically 2-3 years so don't give up hope. I personally would not recommend suing for less than 500 dollars, but at the end of the day the decision will always be yours and noone else's.
    This includes probably the quickest summary of my "drama" from last year. I did not find it necessary to include name of the roommate because that's not what this is about.
    Also, how weird that "The People's Court" has your information if you file a claim? They mailed me that letter and also called me several times.

    Kind of story time/kind of educational. If there's any takeaway from all this, it's ALWAYS keep "receipts." Proof of what people say and pay your bills electronically so you can keep your bills in your email - and of course, have your name on a lease. Hope ya liked the video, guys! I'll try to have another video up this weekend to make up for the seriousness of this one!
    P.S. If you are knowledgeable in the collection process and can share some insight, please do feel free to email me. Cheers!

      Edwins Generation I'm so sorry that happened. I wrote underneath how something similar happened to me, except he borrowed AND stole from me. I have a child and this person stole $200 and a ring from me while I was financially supporting him until he got his $. Which.....he never did, at least not for me.

    edwin, one time my husband went to small claims and the defendant didn’t show up... my husband won... years later... the defendant went to buy a house and since he had a judgement against him he had to clear everything before getting acceptance for the mortgage... so he had to pay... it was about five years later my husband got a check in the mail... so if he ever tries to get a mortgage then you’ll for sure get paid then...

      jedi fawn Yep. If someone decides to not pay their judgement, if they ever want a house or anything nice in life they must clear them up! It just doesn’t pay to not pay what you owe, especially when a judgment is put on you. Someone literally owes me $30K. I know they can’t afford it. The law doesn’t care. You make a payment plan you pay when you can. You can’t blow it off but a lot of ppl do and get screwed in the end. Greed is a sad thing and also throwing away a human for some cash (which normally isn’t as high as mine!) is even sadder.

      Yes, and then the court will take a percentage of your wages. Problem is: many people get paid in cash or direct check. Then when the court finds out they somehow get chastised. Same with when people don’t pay child support except child support is not a civil matter thus they can criminally penalize those cases.

      @@Mytube777 I m not from the US, but I think this problem exists there too. If the person, who has to give you the money, has no work and no money, you will not get anything. I have the same problem, my exboyfriend has to give me 20.000€ (and another 10.000€, but atm the court is not finished on this), but he has official no work and no money. Because of this I have to pay the 30.000€ without getting anything back from him, it does not matter, if it s my right, that he had to give the money. On the other side, I have to pay the 30.000€ - there it does not matter, that I have no money (I study at university and have 400€ in a month). These laws are just terrible and destroy small people, who did nothing wrong, while save criminals.

    Since you won he will have to pay eventually. If he ever needs credit for a big purchase, say a car or a home he will have to pay. But if you do take the extra steps which, I personally would take if you have the money to, they will collect all the money from garnishing his wages or acquisitions from his bank account. It’s a process and it’s not easy, but at the end you get what you are owed. Just one will take longer than the other.

    I don't normally comment but My fiancé and I are going through two cases that could take years. He got mauled by a dog and the owner ran trying to leave us in quart mil in debt but we found her. The court case is taking forever but it's gonna soon happen. 2nd was a hit and run (we're still healing from the injuries) We recently found the guy who hit us. Both people that we are suing are trying to fabricate what really happened saying that they stayed or they tried to get into contact with us. Hopefully the judges sees through their BS. It takes a lot to sue because it's not as easy as hiring a lawyer to win the case for you. I had/have to do research on the law myself to make what I have to say stronger. Good luck to you! I hope it's better than ours!

She told us a bit about the experience. She also came back later and told us more. She said it was a really good experience. Also, maybe pay back Edwin Cyr? And if you don't have the $ at the moment maybe, talk to him about it Cyr? - Also congrats Edwin on your Bachelor's degree! That's pretty cool. It's a shame Cyr that you wouldn't give that back.

An organization could exist which builds a reputation for verifying information about the identity of people who register with it, and employers would make it a requirement that they get verified with a trusted identity organization first. Then, if someone steals something, you can ask them to go to court, and if they fail to show up and you have a good case, their name will be tarnished until they repay their debts, and you could get them potentially get them fired if they have enough debt to their name (or murdered/raped someone) or something like that. Or people could just choose not to lend them money, or any number of things you'd normally do to voluntarily resolve disputes like this.

    The main point or problem is that you don’t get paid back. They’ll work under table, put their cars in their kids name, and I imagine they aren’t going to buy house. How sue someone with nothing? You can’t. Can ppl with nothing damage property? Yes

    Dudecito, call up the people's court, since you are both social media influencers they will still take you and if the deadbeat shows up he can clear his debt, its in his best interest to go too.
    On the flip side you are doing so well out of Cyr's shadow, hope you don't dwell on what a creep he is too much, just thinking about him is going to take you to a dark place.

I won by default, however it was up to me to find what assets she owned that were equal to the amount owed. Unfortunately you cannot get blood from a stone.

    Best way to end any relationship, lend them money. Lol they’ll never talk to you again. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ ps I’m very sorry this happened to you, I’ve experienced it before but it was never a crazy amount of money. I don’t believe in lending people anymore. I’ll buy them gifts, pay for dinner and other shit and they’ll do the same back but nope. I’ve seen money destroy my family and I’ve seen it ruined friendships.

      I live by the same rule. If, and that’s a big if, I ever loan anyone money, it’s money I don’t absolutely need to live on. I loan it with the expectation that I’ll never get it back. I never consider buying someone dinner, a movie ticket, or other smallish item as a loan. You’re just asking for trouble by expecting to be paid back for things like that. Plus, I don’t believe anything is a loan unless the parties agree beforehand that it’s a loan.

    And what I learned because I recently was in a couple similar situations, as a resident in that house you can legally break in and get your possessions if your roommate hasn't given you proper 30 days written notice. If your roommate calls the cops on you, they won't arrest you because you are a resident that wasn't given proper notice.

  • @Exitbuddy
    @Exitbuddy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m 28 and I sued someone in small claims court a few years ago for not paying for petsitting services. I also got a letter from a show- Judge Mathis! Haha they have people who go through the public records and look for cases like ours. Anyway, I went to court, they didn’t show, the judge ruled in my favor. All I had for evidence were Facebook chat messages between the woman and I agreeing on time period and price and messages I sent while she was out of town with updates on her pets. I watched her dogs and cat for 2 weeks while she was in Thailand for a friends wedding. I knew her from volunteering at a local animal shelter, so she wasn’t just a random person. She did the whole “oh I’ll meet you at this time to give you a check” then bailed, told me she sent it but never did, etc etc. I hesitated on going to court, but it was a decent amount of money and I had just moved into a house (I actually postponed my move in date because I was petsitting for her) so I really needed the money. After the judge ruled in my favor, they sent her a letter telling her she had to pay within x amount of days. The judge had awarded interest with his decision, so the longer she waited, the more it increased. She didn’t pay. I went back to the courthouse and had them send her another letter which basically said if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, your wages will be garnished. She didn’t pay. So I went and filed the paperwork to have her wages garnished. The way they do that is the county files paperwork with their employer and the employer sends money to the county from their paycheck, before they even get it. They dont take it in one big chunk because they have to leave money for them to live on. I had the bulk of the payments within a few months. I got the final payment the next April, after tax day when I guess the county was like oh here’s some more we forgot to send or something haha. In the end, she ended up paying about $400 more than she would have had to pay. The thing is, I love petsitting and I knew her. If she had told me she couldn’t afford it, I would’ve accepted payments over time or whatever. I’m not unreasonable. But instead, she was sketchy and lied. She’s in her 40s and has a daughter my age. I doubt she’d be happy if someone did that to her daughter. Anyway, it seems sort of tedious and annoying, but persistence pays off! The reason people don’t get their money is they forget to file paperwork on time or they don’t do it at all. Keep at it and you’ll eventually get paid!

    @caseykitt 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yo! Love your vids and started following you for your recent coverage on Mars Argo! I wanted to share my thoughts on the probable reason why you received a letter from The People's Court! Their marketing department may gather the contact information of folks who are in the system from random sources that either make that information public or sell it for a price. Then they can take that info and put you into a database under the Plaintiff or whatever category so that the system sends you a boilerplate letter that says something to which you can relate. I wonder if Defendants get letters about retrying their cases with them. Lol. It's all cool cause it's just how marketing works, but it's funny and weird when you think about it. Love you! ❤ Have a great day!!

    Oh my God, had something similar happen to me recently. I lent him $, AND $200 of mine and a ring went missing. Then he quickly left the state after, and told a bunch of people that my life was a giant mess(funny, since I've said that myself to people), and that he never took anything, and "would never steal from anyone", neglected to remember how he told me he stole from someone else.
    So, I allow him to stay at my house, financially support him with everything (including cigarettes), he actually complained about buying me 2 packs of cigs after he smoked all mine.
    He kept saying he didn't have $$. He did the whole time. I found food wrappers and MY LOTION beside the bed I let him sleep in.
    I have no way to sue him

    Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I’m currently going through a semi similar situation where my ex best friend/ex roommate does not want to pay anything for the remaining balance that we owe to our apartment after we moved out. There were only two names on the contract but she had her sis and brother living in the apartment and I had my boyfriend who I started dated for the last year living there with me. Would you recommend that I bring this up the facts that we we’re supposed to let the leasing office know if there are anyone else living with us other than the two names listed on the contract? I just want to make sure that this small claim won’t turn into something bigger than what it is. I’m willing to pay half of the remaining balance but her and her sis do not want to pay for anything at all and blaming that the replacement of the carpet was all on my puppy. Smh.... so shady.
