Depending on the amount of money at issue, you may be able to file a small claims action against your ex-boyfriend to try to recover the balance he owes you.

Small claims court has many benefits including being an informal court and allowing you to represent yourself without the assistance of an attorney.

The notarized note should be a good piece of evidence to provide to the court to prove the existence of the loan. In addition to the notarized note evidencing the loan, keep all correspondence between you and your boyfriend that discuss the loan. For example, text messages or emails. In addition, keep a diary of the phone conversations that you have including the date, time and what you two discussed.
