I owe her $200 and she has my laptop. Is it legal for her to keep it until I pay her back?
Answer:
It's not a legal matter, it's a civil matter. She hasn't stolen a thing, if that's your grift. Go to civil court with her, she'll be forced to return the laptop, and you'll be paying her back.
It's a two way street.
Why do you ask? Do you plan on not paying her if you find out she cant keep it? Pay her you bum, the cops wont do anything about it either.
of course that's not legal. come one are you really that stupid? report your laptop as stolen to the police.
Probably about as legal as not satisfying a debt. Pay her back and be done with it.
No it isn't legal. It might help though if you call the police to assist you over at her home. Ask for the lap top back and offer her a signed statement aknowledging the debt and the time frame the money will be payed back by.
Essentially, yes, since any action you could take to get your laptop back (for instance, suing her or filing charges) she could then match to get her money. Then both cases would have to be resolved, and while she might end up being compelled to return the laptop, you would just as likely be compelled to pay the money.
Better to just pay her. It'd be cheaper than buying a new laptop.
o come on now. sure you could take her to small claims, and then she would in turn counter sue for the money. do you really need a judge to enforce what is right? pay up, bud, and be done with it.
