    Has anyone taken someone else to court for small claims?

    In other words, have you sued anybody else in court?

    I thought for small claims you didn't need to hire a lawyer since it's small claims.

    Has anybody had to sue their mechanic or landlords from the past?

    Yes, I do about a dozen of these a month for my biz. What you first do is throw EVERYTHING into your claim to Jack it to the max, $5k in most states. There will be a 50% chance other side doesn't show at hearing, which is a summary judgment for you, otherwise tgere will be a mediator at the court first who will whiddle down your claim to the original amount likely, and you will probably accept payments to avoid the judge.

    You don't need a lawyer at small claims court. The OTT was having a nightmare

    [In a telephone booth with the door closed]
    Raymond: Uh oh fart. Uh oh fart.
    Charlie: Did you fart, Ray? Did you penetrating fart?
    Raymond: Fart.
    Charlie: [Trying unsuccessfully to open the door] How can you stand that?
    Raymond: I don't mind it.
    Charlie: How can you stand it?
    Raymond: Ten minutes to Wapner. We're definitely locked in this box with no TV.

    Don't sue your landlord, you will lose. They are very well versed in this stuff and courts very protective of property rights and contracts.

    So you have social anxiety issues, or you just haven't fully grown up? Right now, you're a way better capper than Lakergirl. By me showing appreciation to you should be enough to let it go. Don't be a stupid.

    Nowadays - depending on the wealth of whose dog it was - you'd potentially be set for life.

    Nah I live by street code so I don't sue

    I probably should though I've been bit by dogs in wealthy neighborhoods, hit by cars, bought things and didn't receive them.

    but it at the the end of the day

    I hate being in courtrooms period.

    When you watch shows like Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown.... whatever is still on the air... lol because it's a TV show... they can enforce a judgement... and enforce a payment immediately.

    In reality... in small claims court... a judge can give you the judgement in your favor. He can't enforce it. Enforcing a judge's decision is an entirely different process.... and variables to the equation. For example:

    1. If you get a judgement against someone who doesn't care about their credit report... or their credit is already shi#$y.... they won't care to pay you. You'll have to find personal property that they own... and/or will eventually pay off and put a lien on it. Not only that... but something that won't lose value. Usually a car has importance... but loses value. A boat has importance... typically won't lose major value. Real estate has value... but some people won't ever move. No need to sell. So if you're dealing with someone who could careless about their credit... Could take years before you get your money. When you place a lien on someone's property... their credit score could drop around 50 points.

    2. If you get a judgement against someone who cares about their credit score... and history... they will pay you rather quickly. They don't want liens against their personal property etc.

    But yeah... the law sucks. The judge gives you the verdict in your favor. But a judge will not collect for you. There is no imprisonment for someone who doesn't pay a lawsuit.
