Message: [QUOTE="sledog, post: 2207608, member: 195"] Couldn't sneak this edit in due to time: Some years back, I had a neighbor's 80 foot tree crash my house after a freak wind storm to the tune of ~$12k damage - which the insurance company covered. I contacted a tree company to remove the rest of the tree - it had a Y-shape that began ~10 feet up, and one branch broke off. The estimate was for $1200 and he agreed to pay for the work. After the tree was removed, since he was not around - I paid the tree company. The neighbor then reneged now claiming the tree was half mine due to property lines. He gave me $600 and a letter of explanation. After a few frustrating chats, I took him to small claims court ($35 fee) on breach of contract. The judge ruled that he did reneg on his original agreement (letter was proof), and ordered that he pay me the $1200 - plus interest since I also claimed I was financing his obligation. [/QUOTE]
