Good response, but I'd be inclined to talk to a lawyer first, then your letter can include "future correspondence should be addressed to my lawyer [name]" | |

| Jan 24, 2019 at 0:52 | comment | added | BlueDogRanch | @gnasher729 That's a good point; the OP could go on somewhat of an offensive against the guy. | |
| Jan 24, 2019 at 0:51 | comment | added | BlueDogRanch | @IñakiViggers True, if there might be some money in it, I can see some bottom feeders going for it, or at least to have something do to. It's happened many times. | |
| Jan 23, 2019 at 22:49 | comment | added | gnasher729 | Obviously with this threat your offer of writing off his debt should be gone. Send him the bill, and if doesn't pay, it's the small claims court. | |
| Jan 23, 2019 at 20:17 | comment | added | Iñaki Viggers | Good answer (+1). I will only add that a lawyer need not be psychotic to represent that problematic potential plaintiff. Some small-town lawyers really don't have much going on in their career and lend themselves to blatantly frivolous litigation as long as they deem it profitable in some way. | |
