QUESTION
Can I take someone to court for money owed
Asked on Jan 11th, 2017 on Collections - Florida
More details to this question:
Our neighbors borrowed $5,000 from us in 2014 and stopped paying and bartering in April 2026. They signed a notorized statement to confirm they would repay us. Just once they paid the monthly statement. Took them to pretrial court and they did not show and therefore we won the judgement, but still no money, they are ignoring us and I want to know how we can proceed to obtain the $3,000 plus left they owe me.

Sounds like you already took them to court an you cant do it agai. YOu have learned the hard way about the difficulty in collecting an unsecured loan from an uncollectible individual. You can try to retain a collections lawyer to collect on the judgment but may be throwing good money after bad.
