    Self made contract, will it hold up in court?
    I made up a contract and signed it with a person. They borrowed money from me. I stated how much is owed, a certain date to pay and if they do not contact me telling me they need an extension then I can use the contract legally in court. I put exactly what was owed to me. We both signed it, dated it, put our ssn on it. Will this hold up in court?

    I know they won't. It is for 4500.00 and they haven't started paying yet. I am giving them until 4/1/2012 to pay with 60 advance notice if they can't come up with the full amount to let me know. I put in there that I can use the contract legally in court.

    They also have an additional 90 days to pay and then I go to court. I put it in there to be considerate.
