I had a gift exchange in California supposed to be fulfilled in April 2024. I gave the gift and the person did not reciprocate their gift. Text message proves the person keeps saying they’re going to give me the money and they don’t. Do I have a case? Also if I get awarded the money will they make them pay?

But isn’t paying consider a contract which you can refuse because of the statute of it

Attended a small claims court on Sep.04 and awarded costs (less than £500) The judge told the defendant he has 14 days to pay me but so far, have not received any funds? I have a feeling that he is going to leave paying me until the final day which would be Sep.18? Am I correct in saying that payment has to be in my bank account no later than 14 days as I have a feeling that he may send me a cheque, which would have to clear?

Hi @albertrossiter399! The defendant has 14 days to pay, which could mean that you should have the money on or before the agreed date.

Can someone take me to court for small claims after nine years in california?

Where did the debt originate?
