My exboyfriend owed me money about €1,000 2 1/2 years ago.

He wanted to clear his credit card.

How can i get him to pay me back? I rang him couple of times since but evrytime i ask he just simply tells me he dnt have it.

He works as a security manager.

How can i get him to pay me back?
 
Re: How can i get my money back?

Make a claim in the small claims court. Do you have any documentation to support this claim? If not, its your word against his.

Sounds like a perfect job for Judge Judy!
 
Re: How can i get my money back?

It is a common and understandable misconception that the small claims court actually deals with all small claims. The thing should be properly titled the "small consumer claims court" as those are the only disputes it deals with.

You would have to pursue him through the District Court
 
call around to where he works and ask him for the money in front of as many people as u can, do this a few times if u need to
 
In court or elsewhere (where you may be accused of defamation), in case he denies it , can you prove that you lent it to him ?

I've no experience in this area but I would be astonished if there is no legal mechanism to get him to financially support his child.

Have you investigated this fully ? Perhaps speaking with someone from one of the [broken link removed]would be helpful ?

Losing your €1000 is an annoying thing but you're probably better off forgetting about it.

However, the issue of mainetenance isn't one you should let go so easily - it's about your child's money, not about yours. Even if you are capable of supporting your child yourself on your own income, maintenance from your ex-partner could be put into a bank account for your child and provide them with a college fund or a start in life. Even a small weekly amount from your partner over the next decade or so could make a dramatic difference for your child in the future.

Talk to a solicitor and see whether you can get your partner to pay maintenance for the child.
 
it's about your child's money, not about yours.

Animousity between parents should not be a reason for a child not receiving its fair entitlement. You ex is legally obliged to pay maintenance and your child is both morally and legally entitled to the maintenance to ensure s/he gets the best possible start in life.
 
Afaik in UK Its compulsary to name the childs father when you are claiming single parent allowance. ( I assume you are claiming this and also the extra cut off point in income tax etc) At the very least he should be paying some maintainance. Having said that I don't know if the DSFCA actually make any deduction from unmarried fathers in this country towards the maintainace of their children.

What a Pig. If i were you I would chase him to the other end of the planet to get the maintainance for your child.You must know of some place he works or where he comes from. I thought in the year of 2007/2008, thism kind of selfish person had dissapeared -- how wrong I am. Go for it and the best of luck
