Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia
I am taking someone to small claims court for money that I loaned him of $1200, $600 has been paid back an the other $600 he has not been paid back. He stated he would pay $300 &300, then $200 times 3, and then the full amount by 9-16-12. Many promises of dates and times he will pay and then he does not. Now he claims by text that he is not paying me anything and he has paid all that he will pay. He has stated(threatened) that if I take him to court he will call the Board of Nursing and report me(do not know on what basis-there is none). So he was served on 10/2/12 for a court date of 10/26/12, and has sent me several texts that he is not paying. My question is everything I have regarding the loan is via text and a conversation he had with a 3rd party stating he will pay. Can the texts and a notarized statement be used?

Yes, as long as both can be properly authenicated ( when, where, how originated), both should be admissible in your case.
