Pretend in your own mind that she doesn't exist any more and respond accordingly. Delete her e-mails, move them to your SPAM folder and don't even look at them. Don't answer any calls from her and if she knocks on your door don't answer. If she continues to pursue you then charge her with harassment and get a restraining order against her. She has no intention whatsoever of suing you over the $1000 and is just desperately trying to reach out at you one way or another. You obviously hurt her ego by breaking up with her and she wants to have the last word. Furthermore, I think you may be enjoying the power that this gives you, knowing that this woman is obsessing over you, even though you didn't deliberately seek for it to be that way. While it may be tempting to take it all in, doing so only fuels the fire. Forget her, like I said she's disappeared from the face of the earth and insist that she regards you in the same manner. If she won't, then you take legitimate legal action against her.

    You are right. It's ridiculous. I am getting married to another woman in a three months and my life does not include her... I don't even think about her. The thing I can't understand is why this "lawyer" that she has hasn't sued me yet. I am sick of her contacting me every time she hears news about me. When she does she emails me and begs me to sign a promisorry note. I have blocked her email address and changed my phone number. A cease and desist letter from an attorney is well in order here and I am taking care of that Monday.

    Before you get too involved exploring the merits of your case you should first determine what the limitation period is in your jurisdiction for bringing a lawsuit. If the limitation period has expired then your ex-girlfriend will not be able to sustain an action in the courts.

    If the limitation period has not yet expired but it will in the near future then perhaps you may wish to wait it out.

    In Ontario, where we carry on business, the limitation period for recovery of a debt is two years. (A word of caution - in some jurisdictions an acknowledgement of a debt could restart a limitation period.)
