    Default Ex-Girlfriend Owes Me Money

    About a year ago my ex-girlfriend tells me that her grandmother that lives overseas is about to pass away.
    She kept insisting that we had to go see her before she passes away and she told me to buy the tickets.
    A couple days later, she tells me that she cannot go, and of course these tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
    A couple days after that, she insisted that we break up. There is still credit left in her name, and of course, she
    does not wish to pay me for it. Would I have a case here to sue her for the price of the ticket?

    (Where are you located?)

    In the US, assuming the amount is within small claims limit, you'd use that venue (small claims court) to try and sue her for the amount.

    Potential problems:

    Can you prove that she agreed to pay you back? Versus them being a very kind gift?

    Collection: Even if you get a judgment against her, collection might be nigh on impossible.

    I hate to say it, and I really hate to see people being taken advantage of, but this might end up being a very costly lesson for you
