Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Minnesota

I borrowed my ex-boyfriend $2300 cash to purchase his truck. He in turn used a check to pay at the dealership, and had his mom put this vehicle into her name. We only ever had a verbal agreement, so I have nothing signed from him.

I have sent him a statement to sign as well as a statement stating what is owed, with little response, or money paid back.

I would like to take him to court, but don't think I would even have any grounds, since I have documentation that he owes me this money. I am wondering if I even have a case?

Yes you have a case, but it would be a lot easier to prove if you had an IOA, Promissory Note or even a cancelled check to prove it.

You will have to go to Conciliation Court to prove your case, and hope the Defendant doesn't show up or deny it, and the referee believes your version of the facts.

Then you'll have to enforce your judgment if you win.

Good luck.
