im sorry to hear that happened to you...
but i've had completly different outcomes. i have friends who have filed fraud cases with positive result.... 1 even with jail time. aslong as its above 500 dollars its a mistameanor..... 5000 is a felony... in hawaii anyway.
and it doesnt matter if they say i will pay. it gives them a pay by date.
so thats why im not in a rush to mess up someones life for $1500.... but i have limits
its been 2 months and i can wait a little longer as long as it ends peacefuly.
