    Unhappy Paid for Friends Rent, Did Not Pay Back

    Hi,

    My 'friend' was behind on his rent last year,he had lost his job earlier in the month. I wrote his landlord a check for $1,000 to help him out. He was grateful and promised to repay me.

    A year has past and he has only paid back $15. He recently started ignoring me.

    The problem is I never had him sign a contract to repay me. I only have a copy of the check written to his Landlord, who I have no association with.

    Is there anything I can do? I feel that it would not hold up in small claims court.

    Advice would be much appreciated.

    I'm in PA

    Actually, I think I got my answer. Found an email from him admitting he will pay me back for the loan. Good enough I think

    I would certainly try to get my money back by taking him to small claims court.
