Thanks for the replies and for allowing me to vent. In essence, it really is not about the $170.Do I want to be out the money? Heck no! But I can make that back. It's about the principle of the matter. If he thinks he is going to take me for a fool and skip off, he is dead wrong.At this point i'll drop the coin necessary to make it an incovenience for him. I know i have the goods on him and a court will see that as well. As for collecting a winning verdict that may differ.If i have to put a lein on his car, home or garnishee his wages, whatever or however long it takes i will get him back.
As mentioned,it has been eating me up though and i have to stop letting it get to me.WPOS
