Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Sueing for collection of bills owed.

I had a roomate and he left without paying rent or his portion of bills. I had his mail here till he had the police come get it. All I really have are witnesses that know he was living here. I want him to pay just what he owes and thats it. What can I do. I hate for him to just get away with this. Please help me.

You can file your case in small claims court against this former roommate for a filing fee of around $40. (You must, of course, have an address for the defendant where he can be served with the lawsuit papers.)
