I recently loaned a friend $3,500 to cover her mortgage payments. Since that loan, we have severed our personal relationship. She is now denying that I ever loaned her the money. Unfortunately, I only made a verbal agreement with her. I do have a copy of a cashier's check which we used to pay off the mortgage, with both our names on the check. I also have a copy of the withdrawl from my bank in the amount of $3,500. I realize that I will need to go to small claims court, yet I now live out of state and wonder if I have any chance of winning the case. She has a history of taking money from people and not returning it.
