Take it to small claims court.
You will not get arrested for not going to small claims court over a bill. However, the court may issue a judgment against you for the amount owed if you do not defend your case.
If you don't show up to small claims court in Wisconsin, the judge may enter a default judgment in favor of the other party. This means the other party will likely win the case and you may be required to pay the amount they are claiming. Additionally, you may face consequences such as additional court fees or a warrant being issued for your arrest.
small claims the rules in court are usually laid back depending on what state you are in and the dollar amount is usually under $15,000 civil lawsuit is similar but the rules are more complex and it is usually for a much higher amount. some states allow attorneys in small claims some dont. attorneys are allows authorized to represent someone in civil court.

You go without an attorney.
You will be called back to court and punished.
yes you can the law allows anyone to file a small claims lawsuit. But make sure you have his correct address my suggestion is you send what is called a "DEMAND LETTER" by regular us mail and by certified mail "restricted delivery". its about $10.00 at the post office give him 30 days to pay. Dont worry if he dosent sign it just make sure you have his correct home address. Donot accept partial payment. DO NOT ACCEPT A CHECK. CASH OR MONEY ORDER ONLY. IN FULL> if he does not pay in 30 days file a small claims lawsuit against him in the local court nearest to his address. call the small claims court and ask questions. its easy simple and hopefully you will get your money. If you win hire a collection agency to collect your money. GOOD LUCK! JUDE KAGABINES LEXINGTON SC
Maybe small claims court. Check with a local attorney. the best protection is DONT CO SIGN. Generally anyone who causes financial damages, which non payment of the debt as promised would seem to be, can be sued to have those damages recovered from. If one can pursue it in small claims court or needs a different one is really only dependent on the size of the claim, not the cause of action. In most areas the limit on awards in small claims is low, something like $1500 (varies). Anything more would require the higher, more procedurally formal court actions.
No, you can not get into trouble. She, however can get into trouble if she is audited.
You run the risk of being arrested to show up over there, unless you presents a valid impeachment for not to appear at the Federal Court.
Assuming its a chapter 13 bk, if you dont make your plan payments the court will dismiss your bk- allowing creditors to resume collection efforts
if you dont pay usualy they will keep billing you until you do pay it or even you might have to go to court.
