[KY] [KY] How do I collect on an unpaid debt?
I prepaid a hotel room for another party in exchange for their agreed-upon assistance, only for them to refuse performance and rack up a $1,400 tab.
To uphold my end of the bargain, I continued occupying the room and personally covered the remaining balance after they departed, yet they neither reimbursed me nor rendered the promised help.
As a result, I’ve suffered a financial loss despite fulfilling my obligations.

Ok, so generally this would fall under a breach-of-contract-type action. You can file that in small claims court yourself.

Hi, and thank you for using our service. My name is AttyZ, and I’m reviewing your question now. I'll provide relevant information or ask for details shortly.
Okay!
Thanks for sharing your situation with me. Could you let me know where you're located? Also, was there any written agreement or contract involved in this arrangement with the other party?
Williamsburg, KY, and it was agreed over text.
Ok, so generally this would fall under a breach-of-contract-type action. You can file that in small claims court yourself.
How would I go about this?
How much are your total damages?
You can sue for up to $2,500 in small claims court.
The $2,500 limit does not include additional costs like interest or court fees.
You can file that by using this form: www.kycourts.gov
In total, 2600, but I only wish for 1200–1400 to be covered
Then take it to your local courthouse to file and pay the filing fee.
You can definitely file for the $1,200 to $1,400 that you wish to recover in small claims.
Use the form I linked and attach a copy of your evidence like the text messages.
How much is the filing fee?
They are generally around $30 to $100.
Will do!
I hope I was able to help resolve your issue! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Will do!
