if you loose in small claims court, how long do you have to pay?

I'm not sure where you are, but here in Georgia it is up to you and the creditor to work it out. \n\nI work in collections and usually when I win the case the judge will allow us to work out the payment plan there and he will write it up and all parties including the judge will sign it. If the customer defaults on these arrangements, then I can get a garnishment or levy with not problem.

Judge Joe Brown would love for you to give him a call.  LOL, but if not, Small Claims Court is definately the way to go.  It helps if you have documentation that you actually gave them the money (such as a cancelled check).  But the odds are your friend wont show up for court anyway, and you'll just get a default judgement for the $$.  Of course, collecting the $$ after that can be a whole new challenge.

You cannot file small claims court papers online. Contact your local (probably called circuit) court for the filing process.

The court does not collect judgments, that is up to the person who was awarded a judgment.\n\nThe court is finished with the matter.\n\nYour opponent is in the same category as all other debt collectors, and if you have nothing he can attach, he better be glad that you are willing to make payments, regardless how small, or how often.

Pretty much what you see on Court TV will happen in small claims court.  Depending on your county, the small claims court judge will have a lot of experience and will know which direction to take the case upon hearing both sides.\n\nBe detailed, but not long winded.  I would even say to try to be as brief as possible, but don't leave anything out.  The judge may cut you off.  Don't worry if it happens.  Just stick to what you believe: that you need to get paid and tell the judge why.  Don't lie or try to hide anything.  If you think your side is correct, then you should tell it like it is.\n\nIf you have a few weeks until your 'trial' I might even suggest going to small claims court and sitting in on a few cases.  That might help you out with what to expect.\n\nGood luck.

None.  You are released by the court.  You sue the state and receive a settlement in the millions.

If you already won a settlement in small claims court, then the civil issue of liability has been decided already and you have the right to be compensated for the damages as awarded by the court.\n\nIf you would like to see the other party charged with fraud (when you say charged, I assume you mean criminal fraud), then you would need to file a claim with the police and the government must decide whether or not to file any criminal charges in the matter.

Hey icemike.  Sad but ramrod may be right.  I had to take a former co-worker/friend to small claims court.  First you have to go to the closest district court (probably to where the modeling agency is in this case or maybe to your house) and fill out some forms (need to explain the issue, need to know the address/phone number etc of the modeling agency,etc) and pay a filing fee (it may be around $70 and the defendant is forced to pay this back to you if you win the case).  My case was a couple of months after I filed and the defendant never showed up so I automatically won the case.  Tried having their wages garnished but they quickly quit their job.  Next I tried to have any bank savings seized but you needed to know where they banked (luckily I did but they didn't have any cash).  Then I went back to the court to seize any property (car/real estate/etc) that the person owned but the court could find nothing (car was leased, house was in exes name,etc.).  Each step I took was @$75 more and a year later I still haven't collected anything of the $3,000 verdict (the max in Michigan small claims-defendant actually owed $5,000 but I didn't want to bother with lawyers and a longer court process) plus the increased costs of each attempt to collect(technically the defendant will have to pay all these fees too). Basically, the defendant skipped town and it has become my responsibility to track defendant down (believe me the court has been absolutely no help); I have 20 years or more to collect (plus interest is supposedly accumulating on the amount owed) but right now I don't see that happening.  You may want to go file a complaint with a government agency like the Better Business Bureau instead.  Another thing is to look at the contract, it may not say any jobs are guaranteed and, in that case, your friend is probably screwed; I know recently a "modeling agency" notified me to come work for them as a "scout" where basically people paid you to register them as models but no work was ever guaranteed for these people; it sure sounded like the "agency" was scamming both the "models" and "scouts" because the agency took a good cut of the money and probably left the scout with all the legal liabilty.  The only other option I can suggest is to go to the modeling agency, if they actually have an office nearby, and tell them you are going to protest/picket(I'd check with the police or someone first to see how to do it legally) and or possibly put an ad in the paper(s) explaining your dealings with them to the public(I'd see a lawyer or someone before doing it though to make sure you can't be sued for slander).  Perhaps the possible negative press/scaring away of further "customers" will be enough for them to give you your money back. Good luck!

sorry, you take off and you signed a lease?  you owe.  unless something else is worked out, you or your cosigner may get away from paying for awhile, but if you are taken to court, you will lose.  you sign it, you own it.

Two years is actually fast in legal terms to conclude a claim.  Usually, the carriers pay quickly to close the file; I'm fairly positive your attorney will receive the Joint Tortfeasor Release and Indemnity Agreement within a few days of the agreed upon settlement.  After you have signed the documents, the carrier cannot "take" the money "back" unless you somehow obtained it fraudulently.

probably years. The insurance company will try to sweat you out, make you wait til your are bankrupt if they can. Meanwhile don't settle, and don't use an attorney that charges a percentage of your settlement. \n\nIf you hold your course, and get an attorney who will listen to you you can get them to court way faster. Just do the Nancy Regan and say no when they ask for extensions. \n\nHey it worked for me/

depends on if they are court apponited, if ur paying them, what part of the country, how serious the case, etc

yes. now collecting it, could be a trick. unless you signed a formal document stating HOW it will be paid.\n\nGet a Lawyer. I've never heard of a person going to a superior court for contempt in small claims.\n\nIn some cases, there are statues of limitations. 16 years is a long time to be worried about it now.\n\n\nMost reasonable Judges would see this. Did you get a letter from Superior Court?  or someone blowing smoke about taking you there?\n This I would have to SEE, to believe.\n\n.

Take them to small claims court and argue your case in front of a judge.  Whatever you do, don't lie to the judge about anything.
