In other words, as long as someone owes you money and he doesn't pay it back, you are ready to get it back, so no matter how much money, you can sue him in court, and the court will file a case for you, even if it is a penny.
If the other party does not pay back the money owed to you, you should keep relevant evidence (such as the copy of the other party's ID card or ID number, contract, mail, SMS, recording, remittance records, etc.). ), and you can sue him at his domicile or habitual residence and pay back the money in time.
But what needs to be considered is whether it is worthwhile, because litigation has costs:
1. Client's fees: The prosecution has the obligation to pay the legal fees in advance, and the client must consider whether the loss outweighs the gain (in some provinces and cities, as long as you win the case, the court will refund the case acceptance fee to you and levy it on the defendant instead);
2. Judicial cost: that is, the occupation of legal resources, the judicial organs must apply limited judicial resources to places and objects that need legal adjustment;
3. Time cost: If you run by yourself, go to the filing court to file a case first. After the case is filed, you are waiting for which judge to be appointed, waiting for a subpoena, and waiting for mediation before the trial. If mediation fails, you can wait for the verdict after the trial, and then see if there is an appeal in the second half of the month. If the other party does not take the initiative to pay back the money, it can apply for compulsory execution.
Generally speaking, if the amount is not large, the probation period is 3 months; If the amount is large, the probation period is 6 months. If there is no property in its name, it can only be executed if it has the ability to repay.
Therefore, there is no legal basis for the court not to file a case if the amount is too small, but in some areas, the internal control 1000 to 3,000 yuan is used as the filing base.
