So she calls this afternoon to ask (laughing while she's asking) if I actually got in touch with my attorney. WHen I told her that I had and what his advice was, she threatened me by saying that if I decided to pursue legal action, she would make sure that it took even longer for me to get my money. Then she made the mistake of saying, "look, Honey," to which I responded, "Listen, little girl." Ken took over the conversation at that point because he knew I was getting ready to let loose on her obnoxious butt.
Ken talked to her for quite a while and after he got off the phone, he said that they had agreed that she would give her brother $5 a week until the amount was paid off. The first week that she didn't give money towards her bill, we would be submitting paperwork for small claims court.
Now, given past history, you know and I know that she won't pay, which means that I have to go through sending her a certified, signature required letter and give her 30 days to pay. After the 30 days are up, I have to file at small claims court.
DH came up with the idea that if she gets the dress back to us (in decent, clean condition) that we can list it on ebay and whatever we can get for it will settle everything. He said that if we get over the amount she owes, then we would give her the extra money. The bride thinks I should keep all the money because she never paid me for it in the first place. I agree with her...I made the dress for her to be in her brothers wedding, she never paid, the dress was never really hers, therefore, why should *I* give *her* any money??
Anyway, that's where we stand....there's another post with the picture...will try to get a better one, once the actual pictures are received (this was from an email that I was sent).
