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.
I feel as you have said, Echoes, and I thank you so much for your feedback. I'm thinking he should pay the court costs of this whole matter as well, but I don't know if this is an option.

I do have a male friend, the husband of my best friend, who is very agressive regarding financial matters. When I told him about this, he wanted to go to the man's house immediately and confront him! At that time, I didn't know the man's address, but I've since found it by doing a reverse phone lookup. I really don't want to involve my friend, though.
The thought of this confrontation makes me ill, to be honest. Also, the idea of making another phone call causes me great anxiety. Why am I such a wimp?!!! I'm thinking of asking my friend to call him. He will be very assertive, telling him I'm going to file a civil suit.

Anyway, duh...
Patty
Thanks for this!
