Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in North Carolina

It depends on how much their half of the bill is. Court costs are approximately $125. If you win, you may never collect. A judgment will show on the person's credit report but the vast majority of people don;t care and it never affects them. We don;t have wage garnishment here and most people never accumulate any property that isn;t exempt. You cannot win any money for your lost time taken off work, either. Lastly, the courthouses are closed until June 1. I generally tell people unless you are retired or disabled and have a lot of time on your hands, and can qualify for a waiver of court costs, it's not worth the time and expense to sue over a few hundred dollars.
