Hey guys, i need some advice on what i should do.
I used to cut this womans lawn for 20 bucks a cut and trim. She said everyother week, but her boyfriend said every week....that was after she told me every other week. I said your wife just said every other week, and he said no don't listen to her. So i cut every week from then on....then i went to get paid, she said next thursday, i said ok well the next schuled date to cut your lawn is next friday, so how about if you just pay me on friday because i'll be by on friday anyways..she said ok, i never seen the woman for 2 months...so she owed me 40 bucks and when i stop cutting, her lawn was being cut every week some how, not sure how, she didnt have a mower. then she gives me 15 bucks after like 3 months, she still owes me 25 bucks. what should i do to get that money from her ?? Take her to small claims court with 55 bucks or should i just keep bugging her ? Everytime i see her shes drinking and says she has no money and i will have to come back next week, then i dont see her for a while.This is my 2nd cousin, someone i don't really bother with any how.
I learned one lesson from this, Don't do business with family, business always turns personal some how. This is the 3rd time i've done business with someone and it always ends out with me not getting paid or them taking a long time to pay.
