She is suing her ex-boyfriend, Mr. Conley.
Mr. Conley is the defendant.
He has a counterclaim against Ms. Perez.
The Plaintiff Seeks Repayment of a Loan
Ms. Perez explains she loaned Mr. Conley $1,500.
This happened in March 1998.
The money came from her credit union.
Mr. Conley needed it for bills, a car payment, insurance, and money owed to his parents.
The loan was structured with monthly payments of $51.26.
This amount included interest.
The total repayment would be $1,845.32.
Ms. Perez states Mr. Conley made no payments.
The Defendant Claims Car Damage
Mr. Conley explains why he stopped paying.
He says they broke up.
He claims Ms. Perez was "real bitter."
He alleges she came to his house.
She then kicked his car.
This caused extensive damage.
He felt he shouldn't pay her after that.
The Disputed Breakup Date
Judge Judy asks about the breakup date.
Mr. Conley says it was the end of March.
He claims it was shortly after he received the loan money.
Ms. Perez disagrees.
She states they broke up on Easter Sunday.
They tried to reconcile for two weeks.
She says the actual breakup was in May.
The Mother's Payment
Ms. Perez presents a letter from Mr. Conley's mother.
The mother sent a check for $600.
$100 was for Ms. Perez's sister.
This was for an entertainment center.
The remaining $500 was for Ms. Perez.
It was intended for the loan.
Ms. Perez confirms the check was dated May 8th.
It was deposited on May 12th.
Mr. Conley states his mother sent this money before the alleged car kicking incident.

Then she fled in a truck.
Ms. Perez's Version of the Car Incident

She admits to kicking the tire.
She wanted to make the alarm go off.

She intended to get her property.
She states it was 9 PM, not 11 PM.
Her girlfriend was with her.
Judge Judy's Skepticism About the Tire Kick

He claims $750 for over $1,000 worth of damage.
No Police Report Filed

He also stated he didn't want contact with her.
Judge Judy's Ruling on Car Damage
Judge Judy addresses Ms. Perez directly.
She states Ms. Perez kicked the car.
She will be held responsible for the damage.
This is despite Ms. Perez's claim of only kicking the tire.
Calculating the Remaining Loan

The initial loan was $1,500.
Mr. Conley's mother paid $500 towards it.
