Re: loan

Why would you want to file two suit and pay two filing fees? You are out $8500-- if you want to make a claim in the small claims court, then that would be the amount of your loss- It is possible to file a two count lawsuit, one for the $3500 loan and another for the $5k you had to pay because he didn't meet his obligations.

I hope this helps-
