>> Judge Judy: Ms. Allen, how
long were you and the defendant
boyfriend and girlfriend?
>> For a little over seven
years.
>> Judge Judy: And you never
lived together.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Is there any
reason why, during that
seven-year period of time, there
wasn't a more formal
relationship?
>> It just didn't work out.
I was living with my parents and
going to school, and he was
renting a room.
>> Judge Judy: How old are you?
>> I'm 25.
>> Judge Judy: How are you, sir?
>> 26.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
This is about a series of
alleged loans that you made to
the defendant while you were
involved in a relationship.
Mr. Jodhan says that there were
never any loans -- you did, in
fact, buy things for him -- the
only money that was, in fact, a
loan was for a car, but that you
were paid in quid pro quo for
the money for the car because
you took, at the defendant
and/or his mother's expense, an
all-expense paid trip to
Trinidad for a week.
So, let's find out.
When was your relationship over?
Month and year.
>> June 2016.
>> Judge Judy: And when do you
allege the first loan?
Month and year.
>> August 2015.
>> Judge Judy: For what?
>> That was for the amount of...
>> Judge Judy: No, what was it
for?
Not the amount.
>> It was for a tools' purchase
so that he could fix up cars.
>> Judge Judy: And how much was
that?
>> That was $256.23.
>> Judge Judy: And when was the
next loan?
>> August the 26th, which was
actually the same day.
It was another $100 transferred
to his account directly.
>> Judge Judy: Another $100 for
what?
>> So that he could purchase
other tools himself.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
And when was the next loan?
>> Next loan was another $100
two days later to purchase other
tools.
>> Judge Judy: And when was the
next loan?
>> The next loan was
September 21st of 2015.
It was $1,700 for the purchase
of the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, so you lent
him another $1,700.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: And when was the
next loan?
>> January 2nd, 2016.
>> Judge Judy: And that had to
do with the trip to Trinidad.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: And how much was
that loan?
>> $500.
>> Judge Judy: And that was for
some liquor or something.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: I read that in
your complaint.
Now, between August 2015 and
January 2016, did he pay you
anything towards the $256 for
tools?
>> He did not.
>> Judge Judy: Did he pay you
anything towards the $100 for
more tools?
>> No, he did not.
>> Judge Judy: The other $100?
>> No, he did not.
>> Judge Judy: Did he pay you
back anything for the car that
he bought in September?
>> He did not.
>> Judge Judy: Right.
And, so, without getting paid
back a penny for all this other
money -- August, September,
October, November, December,
January -- so you hadn't gotten
paid -- you lent him another
$500?
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: Mm-hmm.
You understand that I'm not
buying that?
You got that I'm not buying --
You can take a deep breath, but
you understand that I'm not
buying that.
>> We were in a relationship.
When you're in a relationship,
you help each other out.
>> Judge Judy: That's why a gift
doesn't become a loan when the
relationship is over.
If it starts out as a loan, then
you memorialize it as a loan.
You say, "I'm lending you $256."
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: "I expect you to
pay me back every Monday, $10 --
once a month, $50."
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: And then, if he
doesn't, then you know that
you're not gonna get paid, so
then you don't lend him any more
money.
But if it's sort of an open
pocketbook, which it appears as
if it was for you, with the
exception of the car -- because
the car you acknowledge was a
loan.
That was a big sum of money,
correct?
>> Your Honor, it was no $1,700.
>> Judge Judy: How much was it?
>> It was $750.
>> Judge Judy: $750.
Well, do you have a check for
$1,700?
>> I have two bank-withdrawal
statements from that time that
amounted to $1,700.
>> Judge Judy: That doesn't tell
me anything.
Two bank withdrawals doesn't
tell me anything.
How much did she give you for
the car?
>> She gave me $600.
I put $150.
Because I didn't have enough, so
she said, "I'm gonna give you
the rest."
'Cause I wasn't --
>> Judge Judy: But now you're
confusing me.
She gave you $600.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: You put in how
much?
>> $150.
The car worth, it was $750.
>> Judge Judy: $750.
>> Yep.
And she didn't take it --
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Does that refresh your
recollection?
>> No, that's not what happened,
Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: What kind of car
was this?
>> It was a '90
Mitsubishi Eclipse RS.
>> Judge Judy: Do you have a
bill of sale for it?
>> I don't have it on me.
>> Judge Judy: Who did you buy
it from?
>> I bought it from one of my
cousin's friend.
>> Judge Judy: Do you know his
name?
>> I don't know the person's
name, but I know my cousin's
name.
[ Laughter ]
>> Judge Judy: Was it running
when you purchased it?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did it need
fixing?
Is that why you bought --
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Byrd, would you
look up and let me take a look
at a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
>> Used.
>> Judge Judy: Hmm?
>> It was used.
>> Judge Judy: Well, I assume
nobody put it up on blocks when
they got it 22 years ago.
It was used.
Where did she get the money
from?
>> She know to save, yes?
>> Judge Judy: She what?
>> She save.
>> Judge Judy: So she took it
out of...
>> Her savings, not off of her
bank.
She didn't went to no bank.
She didn't purchase it off --
take it out of her bank.
She take it out of her envelope
from work.
That's only how she give me the
money.
>> Judge Judy: [ Murmurs ]
Yes?
>> Byrd: $2,200.
>> Judge Judy: Huh?
>> Byrd: Mitsubishi Eclipse --
$2,200, good.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
