Help to legally recover $15,000 personal loan given to a friend

[rajpatel123]

Hi,

I would like to get some legal advise.Any help is appreciated.

 

I gave one of my friend $15,000 as a personal loan for 3 months.

I wrote a check on her name and wrote personal loan in subject line.

My friend in return gave me a bank check with the same amount dated after 3 months.

Additionally, my friend gave a notarized statement in writing that she has taken a personal loan of $15,000 from me in Oct 2015 and will return back in Jan 2016.

However, now 3 months have passed and I have been asking money from her for last 2 months. My friend is coming with different excuses and not willing to pay the loan back. I have not deposited the check yet as she does not have funds in her account.

 

Please advise how I can legally get my money back.

Can I file a Police complaint?

What are the procedures I can follow?

 

I am Permanent Resident in the Country.

 

Thank you. Appreciate any legal advise.

 

Raj

Not an immigration issue.

Get a lawyer involved.

This is a civil matter. The FICO forums may help you. Have a look.

it is not a criminal violation..police will not help you..

 

you have to file a civil law suit..notify your friend of your intentions to sue to see if that will force her to pay..be prepared to say good-bye to your friendship..
