I have searched exisiting threads to see if this query has been answered before as I am sure it happens every day of the week, but I couldn't find anything so apologies if this has come up before
An ex owed me a lot of money from a few years ago. During the summer he agreed he did owe the money and we agreed that he would pay back €4,500 in monthly instalments of €500. He owed me more but this is the figure we agreed on.
Three payments were made, then he contacted me last month to say he couldn't make that payment due to an unexpected bill, but that he would be on time for next month and was looking into obtaining finance to clear the loan althogether. He contacted me again this month to say the money would be lodged. However, nothing was received and now he is not replying to my emails. This puts me in an awful position as it looks now like he has no intention to pay this off which I know I should chalk down to experience but as I got myself into hugh debt as a result of his actions originally ( he let me down on something we had agreed on purchasing, but when he pulled out, the contracts were already signed, all in my name of course, as his credit rating was shot) I cannot afford to write the loan off, as his repayments were helping me pay back the original loan and would have got me back on track.
Does anyone know of an avenue I could use to force him to make repayments, similar to the small claims court? that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I know its a long shot.....
