last year i loaned my ex-girlfriend $2,600 in cash. the money was to go towards credit card debt she had incurred ($2,200) and her rent ($400) for one month that she couldn't make her rent payment. she was a former live-in girlfriend who i had a very good relationship with so we never wrote up a contract (i know how stupid this is). she was supposed to pay me back whenever she could. we broke up months ago, and now when i ask for the money she says she isn't paying because she knows we don't have a contract. i have saved messages from her acknowledging that i did give her that money, but no contract, and no trail of the money. i can get records of the day i deposited the money from my account - i then gave her the deposit in cash and she used it as a loan from me to pay off her bills and s

Hello. I have a few questions. Was the money "loaned" while you were living together? Or was it after you were no longer living together. Often, debts incurred while two people are living together could be construed as going towards mutual expenses. It would be a more difficult case if you were living together at the time. If you were not, then your obstacles are lack of any written agreement, and whether it was a loan or a gift. The case would come down to whom the Judge believes as to whether it was a loan or not. Did she pay back any portion of the amount? That could show an intent that it was a loan and not a gift. Do you have anything showing it was borrowed? A letter or note showing she was intending to pay you back? It would be a tough case but if you feel strongly about it, you can try to take the case to small claims court in your local courthouse. Best of luck to you.
