rhineholt Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 So, I need to get in touch with somebody via text, I can't call them because I need to keep a track of everything I am saying and that she is saying (I'm taking her to court). However, I think my phone number MIGHT be blocked considering she was one of my exgirlfriends and she might not like me anymore.. When I text her, I get a message back saying that it is a house number, although I know for a fact it is not because my friend is texting the same number and she is responding. I haven't had my number blocked before so I dont know if this is what normally happens when a number gets blocked. You guys have any input on it? ALSO, can you guys tell me what type of camera this is? [attachment=5392:Picture 1.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Well, I'm just assuming this is about some money or property that she owes you. The easiest thing to do is to take her to small claims court. Just head over to your courthouse and I believe there's usually a reception desk somewhere. Ask them how you can go about filing a small claims case. Minus the court fees, there's not much else to pay for. Just make sure you have receipts and/or supporting documents to aid you in your case. And I'm not positive, but I do think her statement about the harassment thing is accurate. You shouldn't constantly contact her and request money/property. You are not a collection agency. Let those who do it professionally handle it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amn_sinclair Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 in my opinion i say save that text. then you really have two choices take her to small claims court (not really sure what your going to court for just assuming) keep in mind that depending on where you are small claims court is not so cheap. You may end up paying more into court fees and such then you actually get out of her. Sometimes you can try and get them to pay the court fees plus what ever they owe you but that's not always going to happen. Or count it up as a loss and just forget it. Now back on topic though when I used to work at a T-Mobile call center we had no way of blocking someone from texting your number. Now i don't know about this for sure but maybe if her cell phone is set up to forward to a house phone maybe the texts will forward to that's why your getting that message? I can't confirm that. I do know that a lot of times now though that if you text a house phone then the phone will ring and when they answer there will be a automated message that reads who sent the text and what it says. Maybe she has been replying with those messages trying to be sly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I worked for a law firm, and they were not allowed to contact people directly regarding collections. They came up with a sneaky way of creating a separate office, outside of the company and hiring someone not on the payroll to act as a collection agency.

She gave me 100, but i couldnt be in a relationship with her anymore, so i broke up with her. After tht, she still agreed to pay me back. I have texts messages on one of my phones, but i can't find it right now... Now, I don't have the receipt because i lent her enough money to get the warranty and you need the receipt with the warranty, or so i thought. I don't think you do though. Anyway, also, its not even on my reward zone account (Best Buy) because i figured if I were to get all the money back, so i let her put it on her dads. Another holdup, her dads a cop. An asshole cop. So I know i shouldn't contact her anymore, but i dont know what she's talking about harassing her. I simply asked her to call me when she got the chance, and she responded calling me a fucker and called my girlfriend a "creepy cunt" and i should focus more on "getting a leash for my dog of a girlfriend" [quote name='Amn_sinclair' timestamp='1300309255' post='501738'] in my opinion i say save that text. then you really have two choices take her to small claims court (not really sure what your going to court for just assuming) keep in mind that depending on where you are small claims court is not so cheap.

joytron Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 You couldnt pay me to deal with a psycho ex-girlfriend. Just ask yourself how much is the three hundred dollars worth it to you, and do you really think you have a chance of seeing the money again?

Chreees Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Exactly what Jess said... is it worth the $300? Also, will you end up having to pay $300 in legal fees to get it back from her? Gotta weigh your options. My dad FINALLY got done battling my mom in court. It's been going on for about 5 years and it was a whole mess that could have been avoided had she not been so fucking crazy about it all. Now my dad owes thousands to his lawyer. I know that's a bit different than situation, sure, but it came to mind as I typed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahLover25 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yeah there is a way you can block someones text. My friend was testing it on me if she can block me, heres the pic of the text. It's AT&T so I don't know about the other wireless providers if you can block it somehow.

Arcane Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 i'm vindictive. i say take her to court. i'm not sure what a rewards zone card is, but if you have a bank statement showing the purchase of whatever she bought or in the amount you lent her...it may be something. good luck man.

rhineholt Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 So my phone has been off all morning. I jsut turned it on. Not only did she text me that warning again, but she said this. "So greg, if youre so hung up on 300 dollars, where are you going to come up with the 1000 to file for the court cost? and also, my father said if you continue to try and contact me he will file charges against you for harassment." She basically admitted she owes me that money... am i right? or am i just being too hopeful? Also, i already talked to my dad. I could most likely go to small claims court for about 50 dollars and I could even sue her for the court costs. I might not get it, but i can hope.

Chreees Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Cease contact with her, to make damn sure she can't sue you for harassment. Then, take her to court if you wish. Bring that message with you, because she does acknowledge the $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get how you have any proof, you paid in cash and have nothing in writing. If she denies it, its just your word against hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
