Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Are you trying to sue your son? Your son and the girl? Or is your son trying to sue the girl? The reason I ask is that I can only discuss your matter with you. You say the money was borrowed. Was there a writing indicating that the money was to be repaid? Did you ever, in writing, ask for the money back? Was any amount repaid?

You have 4 years to sue from the time that the money was to be repaid. How much was borrowed? Anything under $8,000 and you can go to small claims court. If it was more than that, I recommend that you get a lawyer. You can still sue if you are outside the statute of limitations, however, it will depend on whether your son and/or his girlfriend are smart enough to raise the issue. If they do, the court will not allow you to recover. If they don't, then you are fine. However, I do not know when the statute of limitations period began to run.

I recommend that you at least consult with a civil litigation attorney. they can more specifically review your situation and tell you whether you can bring suit or not.
