Re: payment

Step one: Send him a demand letter, giving him thirty days to pay you back. Send it certified mail, return receipt requested. If he doesn't pay you, then you can file a small claims court.

Step two: after the thirty days have lapsed, file a small claims case against him. They have forms that you can do yourself, and the fees aren't very high.

I wouldn't hold my breath, though. The guy probably doesn't have the money to pay you.
