More details to this question:
ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO A FRIEND OF MINE WHO LIVES IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, ASKED ME IF I COULD HELP HER WITH SOME MONEY UNTIL HER SOCIAL SECURITY KICKED IN. AT THE TIME I HAD THE MONEY AND SO I HELPED HER BY DEPOSITING THE MONEY IN HER BANK ACCOUNT. WHICH I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR THEM. SHE ALSO WAS GOING TO HAVE KNEE SURGERY AND I TOLD HER THAT I HAD A ELECTRIC SCOOTER CHAIR THAT I WAS ASKING $1000 FOR IT. SHE SAID SHE COULD USE IT BUT COULD NOT PAY FOR IT UNTIL SHE GOT HER SOCIAL SECURITY. WELL WITH THE HEART OF GOLD I HAVE, MY HUSBAND AND I PUT THE CHAIR ON HIS PICK UP TRUCK AND WE DROVE FROM TAMPA FLA TO CHARLOTTE, N.C TO HER HOME AND SURPRISED HER WITH IT. SINCE THEN SHE HAS NOT PAID ME A DIME YET AND IS IGNORING ME. TODAY AUGUST 8TH, I CALLED HER TO WISH HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND SHE HUNG UP ON ME. SHE OWES ME A TOTAL OF $3650.00. I NEED MY MONEY AND CHAIR BACK FROM HER. HOW CAN I GET THEM BACK?

You won't. You did a good deed based on a bad financial decision and that about as far as that will go unless you want to spend more than the money in dispute trying to get the money. Its a 3,000.00 lesson in never lending what you cant give away.
