How can you live with this person? Everytime I see her I would just shout "Where is my money whore?!?!??!?!" and make her cry. [/ QUOTE ] This solution is second best only to pimp her out.

Re: How to get a roomate to pay up?
Small claims court is rarely worth it. It sounds like she doesn't give a [censored] about anything. The court can't force someone to appear. She won't show, you waste your time.
Girls are slow witted. Are you telling me you really can't drive a girl out of your place? Cmon...

Garnishing wages and taking her to court will take up more time and money on your part that it's probably worth. Garnishing wages is not that easy to do, and small claims judgments are notoriously hard to collect on. She could owe you that money for years. [/ QUOTE ] these arent expensive or hard to do at all! And he said the money isnt a huge issue so he could at least do it and get it at "some" point. And small claims cases take lil of ur time, u file and then u appear in court...thats not hard they arent hard to collect on with a fi fa, yes it might take time but it will get collected thought that or ganishment of wages, u just have to file paper work is all

Re: How to get a roomate to pay up?
People don't show up to small claims court with great frequency. Even if she shows up the court will not force her to pay it, she has to get in trouble herself to get caught. This sounds like a perfect situation for that to happen.
Not worth the time unless he is set on making a point.

Re: How to get a roomate to pay up?
[ QUOTE ]
These are all great ideas. I think pimping her out is probably best. Hitting it myself is not a possibility, she's not up to my standards and is a f'ing weirdo. I might beat her ass though. In fact, that's why she moved in with me, as her old boyfriend threw her down some steps or something. So she's used to that, I'll just do it again. [/ QUOTE ]

Opportunity cost. It also costs 25 bucks to get a marshal to serve people with subpoenas or other papers. Each time. Small claims judgments are orders to pay, not vehicles of payment. It's a piece of paper worth exactly how much someone wants to value it. There are people who have small claims judgments against them without paying for months and years. So you put a good deal of time and money into something with far from a guaranteed result no matter how right you are about any particular issue before the court. It's a gamble, and not a cheap one. It's far, far better to keep it out of the courts if at all possible, unless you don't mind the monetary loss of missing a day of work and maybe more. It's a resort all right, but a last resort.
