for the past 10 months i have been invested with a businesswoman in okc. currently i am owed $10,000. two months ago we agreed to and signed our monthly contract. the provisions of the contract essentially state my principal, my consideration for the investment, and a "general" time period for the consideration.
We communicate by phone and fax. She faxes me the signed (not notarized) contract, and i sign and fax the completed contract back to her. Two months ago was the last time we spoke. She was supposed to pay me on June 10th, and has subsequently ignored all of my calls, text messages, and faxes since that date.
What are some of your suggestions? I have considered small claims court. i have also considered hiring an actual lawyer. While this is a lot of money for me, i dont want to spend a lot of money in a frugal effort that may end up not turning out in my favor. As a side note, from what i hear, she is currently involved in a lawsuit and im told she is being taken for everything she has. I offered a friend $500 to have a talk with her in his own way, but i dont know how well that'd work.
