Patty, what are the thoughts you have about calling him again? That he will pay you this time? Or that if you mention the civil complaint he will then agree to pay? Or that you can avoid making him angry?

I don't think I would contact him again after his weak attempt to make himself look good/honest the last time. I don't know how the civil complaint works, but if he were to contact me after the filing, I would advise him to send the money within a week at the most, and via bank check and by certified mail.
