what do I need to do if there was a verbal agreement on a repayment of debt accrued while on a house hunting trip to Florida? I live in Delaware and he lives in Virginia. our personal relationship has since ended but I would like the money repaid it's under $500.
Answer
Next time you have reason to visit the state that is allegedly for lovers,
you could file a Warrant in Debt in the Virginia Small Claims Court located in the city or county where this defendant lives for the amount that remains
unpaid + court filing costs as well as the cost of the sheriff serving him with the lawsuit paperwork (about $12).
(You should bear in mind, nevertheless, that the statute of limitations on oral contacts in the Commonwealth is normally three years and that you will have the burden of proving to the judge by a preponderance of the evidence the relevant facts supporting your claim.)
