Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I let an ex borrow $500 while we were together. He has constantly kept tabs with me on when he would be able to pay me back, he has been in a rough spot with losing his job so I never worried to much about it, and thought as soon as he got back on his feet, he would pay me back. 4 months later we break up and still no pay back. I have messages with him saying he will pay me back, but i no longer trust his word. I asked him to sign an agreement that we can both agree on, and he is refusing. Keeps stating he will pay me back and I need to shut up. What do I do? Can I come to his home with the letter and ask to sign? I have saved messages asking for us to come to an agreement on this, and I am being ignored. He is threatening a restraining order if I do not stop contacting him. What do I do?

Sue in Small Claims Court. The saved messages are your proof.

Since you have the text messages sue him in small claims court. If you can not do it yourself, then file with an attorney to represent you. The attorney fees can be collected as part of the case as it would appear that you would be the prevailing party.
