    He'll have a go at you for not getting it "in writing" but would accept the texts ... he'd have a go at you for not setting any timescale.... but he'd accept the debt does exist.

    Then rip into the debtor.... and make his judgement.

    With the evidence... I'd get him on Judge Rinder... publicly shame him.

    Going to court would be private.
    On the telly is an "up yours matey" gesture.

    The bonus of this route is that, years after he's been shamed/named on the telly .... they keep rolling repeats for years and years ..... and years....

    Actually no, the production company pays the award. So more chance of getting money back that way. But first you need to be selected and he has to agree to appear.

    Oops...already posted.

    Do none of your friends have rather large boyfriends who would love to visit him?

    Nah. If i did that I'm sure it would end up back on my doorstep. And single mum, 2 kids, just want a quiet life ironically!! I'm a firm believer in karma, but it doesn't work as fast as the legal system might xx

    if he doesn't respond to the people on Judge Rinder they won't be able to do anything -a friend tried this and the person refused to speak to the researchers so it couldn't be taken any further.

    You can take pretty much anything to litigation. That doesn't mean you have any chance of winning though.

    If you don't manage to get any money off him, just be glad you've ( his fault ) ruined his credit history for the next 6 years.
