If my boss owes me money and won't pay me what can I do about it?
1. Write a short polite email to your boss reminding him/her of the amount your boss owes you, and setting a date you want to be paid.2. If your boss ignores that email send a clear letter by registered mail. Detail the days you worked, maybe include your hours, or if you are contract, include the name of the job you completed. State the amount you expect to be paid. State that it is overdue and you expect to be paid immediately. Date the letter, sign it. Copy it. Mail it by registered mail, return receipt requested.3. If he ignores that letter, go down to your local courthouse with that letter and your return receipt from the post office. Ask for small claims court. They will give you a firm to fill out, describing why you believe you are owed money, and how much. Fill it out, pay the small claims fee, include your letter, keep a copy for yourself. On the scheduled date be ready to tell the judge why your boss owes you money.4. If you win, you will receive a judgment against your boss. Then you have to find something your boss owns that can be seized or have a lien placed on to, usually a checking account. Ask the Sheriff to put a lien on his checking account. You will need to know his checking account number.
Someone owes me money, how can I tell them I would like to be paid back now?
Say just that...go see them, don't call or email, go see them in person to get the feel for them . They can lie easier online or on the phone. Tell them you are in need of that money and could really use it, you loaned it to them when they were inneed, now you need it back. that simple....
This guy owes me money but won't return it. What do I do?
It would be an awful shame if his nice $200 each tires got damaged along the side wall so they can’t be repaired, but have to be replaced, wouldn’t it?(Just kidding… don’t do that, it’s illegal and a dick move).I would tell him flat out, “you owe me the money you borrowed, and I don’t care what else you need the money for, I trusted you to pay me back, and it’s been six months - pay up!”.If that doesn’t work - cut that person out of your life permanently. They’re a thief and and asshole.It not worth your effort or your mental anguish to keep after the deadbeat if a final warning doesn’t get him to pay you back. Unless it’s a much bigger amount of money than $60, just write it off and forget it….But never forgive. He had his chance to step up and be a good guy and pay you back.
How do I act if a guy who owes me money doesn't return it?
It sort of depends on how much money and how desperately you need it. If it’s $20 or less, consider that it cost you that much to get rid of the guy. If you keep asking him for the money, he’s going to start to avoid you until he pays you back. After that he might come around again. I used to live in a sketchy neighborhood. The local dopers would come around and try to borrow money. I loaned most of them ten or twenty bucks and didn’t have to see or deal with them until they paid me back, which was ‘never’ as often as not.
Can I beat someone who owes me money?
Sure, and then you'll go to jail.
How could I collect the debt if the person who owes me money suddenly died?
These are the general principles in general law:—The debt dies with the debtor. The debt no longer operates on the demise of the debtor. In short, you write off the debt.The creditor (you) sues the estate of the deceased for recovery of debt. Your legal action in effect puts a lien (a link, a connection, a right) on the estate’s assets or properties to be used (or caused to be used) for debt recovery.Part payment of debt is not full settlement of debt. This means if the debtor has repaid part of the debt to you, you can still recover the remaining sum as per the two general principles above.Now that you know the general principles, we can move on to your scenario:—The debtor’s survivors have rights. They are in their right not to recognise the debtor’s debts to you because it was a matter between you and him, not between the family and you. That is their case.You have to make a case for suing the estate (General Principle #2), so that the survivors have to recognise your rights vs. theirs.The first necessary evidence in support of your case is if there’s a written loan agreement between you and the debtor. If not, you’ll have a hard time suing, let’s put it that way.If the debtor has partially paid off his debt in the past (preferably with the above agreement), you can use that as evidence in support of his intention to continue paying off, so that you have a better case for a lien on his estate. If not, then you’re basically back to General Principle #1 (the debt dies with the debtor). It isn’t impossible to sue, but it will be harder.So that’s the overall picture of your potential litigation.Fair warning:— If the debtor has little or no apparent assets for debt recovery purposes, then you may well be suing a “strawman.” For that possibility, sorry, life sometimes is just bad luck and you’d be better off writing the debt off.
What can I do when someone owes me money and doesn't pay me back?
Decide whether they even have the ability to pay you first. If they really cannot pay, chalk it up to experience and move on.If they have the money, but are trying to screw you, consider that a declaration of war. Take them to court.If they lied to get your money, call the pokice and charge them with fraud.Be careful…Many people that are owed money get mad and say things that make collecting the debt turn into YOU in jail.“Extortion” is a crime. If you say. “You better pay me or I'll tell your boss you stole from me (or any negative consequence),” you may be in big trouble.As an employer I've been stolen from once big time. Saying “I'll ruin your reputation in this business is you don't pay” is extortion.The better way to say it is… “I'm calling the police and talking to the Prosecutor. You've had your chance to pay. That's going to rightfully get you known for who you are… A thief.”Notice I no longer asked for money. That actually worked for me. He begged me to take the money. I told him he could talk to my lawyer. The lawyer collected, and got his fee from me former employee. The guy signed a statement that he reacged out to pay the theft back of his own free will. It was written to keep him out of jail and to clear me of extortion.
If someone owes me money and I have his email address, what can I do to him and how?
First step- you need some sort of proof of the debt obligation.. i.e., text messages or emails exchanged confirming this person’s receipt of your loan funds,. something in writing admitting to a debt.. a note of thanks, etc.. anything will do. . a cancelled check made payable to him will even suffice as evidence. Once you can dig up this proof of debt, you can move forward to the next step.At this point, you will need his address . If you know where he lives, then good. If not, there are companies that will find who he is and provide you with his current address, even if the only thing they have to go on is his first and last names and his email address. Then, move to step 3, which is:Call your local courthouse or do a Google search and find out how you can file a small claims action against him for the money. You wont need a lawyer to do this, you will be walked through the process. You go down to the courthouse, pay your fee, and off they go to serve him with a Summons and Complaint. He will get served and this will ruin his day (or maybe his week) and you will have your day in court. And THATS how you get someone to pay you what they owe.
How can I force someone to pay me the money that they owe me?
There certainly are ways and means of forcing repayment however you will have to use the county courts, and ONLY if that person has realisable assets and/our disposable income. You might need to do some detective work to establish this. Assuming he has you should start with either a county court claim. Assuming you win which you should you can then enforce the judgment by several means should he fail to comply with the order of the court by making either full payment (default judgment) or failing to comply with an instalment order. These are, 1. Apply for a Charging order on equity he has in any property, when the property is sold you get paid from the equity automatically. He cannot prevent this. 2. Attachment of earnings order, (assuming he has disposable income) 3. Apply for a 3rd party debt order which if he has any savings or investments held in a bank or building society will order the bank to freeze his account and pay you. 4. Apply for the court bailiff to enforce the debt by seizing any vehicles he has (which are not exempt) I.e. he needs the vehicle for work and no suitable alternative is available, or tools of his trade, basic living amenities are all exempt. SThe most effective enforcement by far if he has assets is to serve a statutory demand under the insolvency act. If it's served correctly and he does not apply to set aside the demand within 21 days by securing the debt with you, then you can apply for his bankruptcy using a creditors bankruptcy petition. This will cost you well over £1000 but if he has the money and assets it will prompt repayment trust me and this will not involve going to court. Anyone can serve a stat demand it doesn't involve a court. It will frighten the life out of anyone with assets and debts.but it MUST be served on the debtor correctly, and preferably witnessed. I would recommend doing this. If he has nothing then unless his circumstances change fir the better within the next 6 years then I suspect you won't see a penny. You can't get blood out of a stone. Good luck. I
