Re: Roomate owes money--

Thanks for your question. You can go to small claims court if you are willing to pay the filing fees and cost of serving papers on the room mate. I dont know what is owed so you will have to decide if it is worth spending the money to try to get a judgment. All you will get is a judgment if you win and then you will have to try to collect the judgment. The court doesnt do that for you. It can help you but you will have to put the effort into going back to court a few times, paying more court costs and maybe collect it. Good luck
