Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

Your heart got in the way of your head. You should have discussed with her BEFORE making the expense on the surgery. For $320, consider it a lesson learned. Now you know a good bit about your neighbor.

I disagree with Phillip. Print out my response and show it to you neighbor.

First of all the whole woprld now knows she is a jerk and doesn't care about her cat.

Second, while it is not clear you would win in court, I'd sue her in small claims court. It will be up to a judge to determine if you reacted reasonably. In a worst case scenario, the judge commends you, lectures her, but doesn't award money. In a best case, the judge gives you the money you spent, plus court costs.

Either way, your neighbor has a lawsuit against her on her credit history for 7 years (and the embarassment of being a jerk).

Congratulations to you on your compassion. There is a special place in heaven for people like you, whether or not you collect the money.
