I lent friend of mine 11000$ back in June of 2009 so that he could purchase a car. He told me that he would pay me back in full by Labour Day of that same year. There were a few bumps along the way and about a 18 months after Labour day 2009, I started to get the feeling that he was lying to me and was looking for excuses not to pay. Can I still take this to small claims court?
