QUESTION
Can I take my ex to small claims court for not paying his medical bills?

More details to this question:
I paid for an ACL surgery my ex boyfriend required to walk and work on the verbal and written agreement he would make monthly payments to myself. I paid $2,000 in cash and the rest we paid with care credit he was the primary on the carecredit account w myself co-signing. He paid $60 and that's it of the $5000. I have been paying the carecredit as he never paid it and they threatened to affect my credit if I didn't pay. I have since tried to contact him on many occasions for any kind of payment and he refuses to respond saying he doesn't owe me anything. We broke up 1 month after the surgery. I want to take him to court so he will have to pay me back. Is this a case I can take to small claims? Do I need a lawyer to win?

Yes you can take it to small claims. A lawyer if preferable to give you a better chance to win, but no need if you know what you're doing.
