A few years ago, I was engaged to a man who due to an injury, lost his job. He was in the process of looking for another job when he was suddenly without money. He was in need of $1,000. I offered him the money. He said that he did not want the money from me because he didn't want to ever get into a pickle as he called it if I ever wanted it back from him. I told him, as his fiancé, I should help him out, because that's what couples do for one another. After an argument, he gave in and took the money. We never signed anything as far as a note, but I figured since he was my fiancé, he would pay me back.
When he broke up with me, I asked him for the money back. I have record of the check that I wrote to him. I now want to sue him for the money and I want him to sign a note so I can bring it to court, but he says he won't do it. I have tried countless times to get him to sign something. I call him, email him, send him letters to his job. His new wife emailed me and threatened me with a restraining order.
He also said that if he wanted to, he could be asking ME for money for all of the times HE paid for dinners, getaways, etc. I feel that this is different from that. This is $1,000 of my money that I used to help him when he had nowhere else to turn and I should get it back! How can I sue him? This was the summer of 2004 and he still hasn't paid me!! He and his new wife act like I never existed!
**NOTE--- I also remember TWO other loans I gave him... He needed $400 for a doctor visit. I gave it to him and he paid me back in a week. I also gave him $150 for a plane ticket. He paid me back that as well. So that PROVES that the $1000 was a loan too!
