I was considering going to small claims court ($75 fee, good money after bad) when I learned that a friend of mine has a collections company. She offered to call him and said she could have his credit rating affected if he didn't respond. So guess what, he responded. He even admitted to her that he was planning to stonewall me forever. So here's my advice: cut to the chase, get a collector on the job. They charge 10% of the amount but you only pay if they succeed.
I'm still very angry with the guy for putting me through this and think he should pay more, but it's satisfying to know he's been forced to cop to the charge. Good luck with yours.
