Breach of contract happens when one party fails to comply with his obligations under the contract. There is unjust enrichment when one person receives a benefit at another person’s expense that is not intended as a gift. Account stated is another cause of action based on a contract between a creditor and debtor and manifestation of assent by a debtor to the creditor’s stated sum as the correct amount due and demandable.
From all these causes of action, the easiest cause of action to prove is account stated because it usually requires a statement of balance due (such as a monthly credit card account statement) and a manifestation that the debtor accepted the statement as correct.
