Desperatly need some small claims court help to sue HORRIBLE ex boyfriend!

    I live in Kentucky and have a few questions about a possible small claims suite that I would like to file ... i appreciate in advance to anyone who is able to help me out with my questions! Basically had a boyfriend who was supposed to be around for a long time to come ... instead i met him in august, moved him in immediatly and in 3 months he left and obviously the relationship is no longer existent. Within the first two weeks of him moving in to my home, he came to me needing help paying off his american express credit card balance that was actually issued thru his employer for work related expenses and he obviously had abused those privilages and was due to be fired if it was not paid in full immediatly . The amount was 454 dollars in which i paid online with an electronic check from my bank account online. He agreed he would pay the amount back in full without question . On top of doing this for him, i found myself having to give him 60 dollars or so a week to get him thru til payday (which i never expected to be paid back) and ALSO, i found myself paying ALL the bills for the home. I made it clear upon him moving in that I expected him to help me out with the bills as much as he possibly could, although no set amount was ever agreed upon. I as well added him on my mobile phone plan with the agreement that I was going to pay the 230 dollars for the phone itself as a gift, and he would be responsible for the 70 dollars a month that his phone plan cost. That phone he had from aug til november (3 monthes) so that would be a total of 210 dollars alone. He did NO DOUBT give me a total of 530 dollars IN CASH, undocumented from either of us in the ENTIRE 3 monthes he lived in my home. I feel like 210 of that should have been his phone bill and the rest should be his part of the rent/utilities/ect and believe that he still owes me the entire amount that i payed on his credit card of 454 dollars. I also checked my bank account registry online and it CLEARLY reads as the description "AMERICAN EXPRESS PAYMENT FOR ACCT OF JEFFERY S NORMAN" since the card was issued to him thru his work. Obviously I have proof that that is HIS expense and obligation! I am not asking for all the lil 60 dollar loans for whatever he needed it for, or the 230 dollars for the price of the phone ... BUT, I want to know if I have a good chance of winning a small claims case over the 454 amount AS WELL as if I am entitled to any kind of payment regarding his cell phone bill. I have to admit that I begged him repeatedly after he left to just return the phone to me, and i would give it to my son to use, and that would be the end of that ... HOWEVER, he begged and insisted that he needed the phone badly for work and he promised he would pay the bill on time if I would not interupt his service. I finally send him a msg saying that I had made the decision that I would keep my word to him, and not bother the service as long as he paid on time. That lasted one month, until I came home to find the phone laying out in my yard, in the snow, with a note saying basically for me to "screw myself, he didnt need the phone anymore, and he was done with it" ... I SHOULD NOTE that the 230 dollar, less than 3 month old phone he returned to me so nicely DID NOT work upon me finding it. It would not charge. I took to sprint, they said charging port was not working and I had to pay 100 dollars for the deductible on my insurance for a replacement phone .... NOT to mention the fact that I now have the 70 dollar a month service fee and am stuck in a two year agreement on that phone. Is there any chance he would be held accountable for any costs concerning the phone situation as well ? Thanks so much for anyone who can help me out ... im clueless about this kind of stuff!

    No, paragraphs are needed in your post, it's very difficult to read the way it is.

    Also, this is an Irish website, our small claims courts would be different to yours.

    yes, I moved him in immediatly because honestly his ex had just put him out and moved another man in and he didnt really have a "home" of his own ... I did it thinking it would help me out on bills (thats what i get for thinking) .. I know I look like a complete idiot, but Im really not at all! I just made a bad decision while trying to help someone out who was a good friend, and then a boyfriend! I take full credit for this whole entire "dumbass" move totally ... LESSON LEARNED QUICKLY!
