Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Minnesota

I loaned someone money to get their car fixed by me actually writing the check to the auto repair shop. I did this with the verbal agreement that he would pay me back within a few weeks. It has been nearly a year and he hasn't paid back anything yet. When I do manage to reach him on the phone, he gives me a hard-luck story and promises to start paying within a couple weeks. I do know the vehicle license plate and VIN number because I have the reciept from the repair. Is there anything I can do? Put a lien on the vehicle? Other? This is in MN.

I recommend that you sue the person in small claims court. You can do this yourself by filing with the small claims court office in the county in which the person lives. If you need assistance with the process, contact me a [email protected].
