I let a friend borrow some money to stop eviction on him who beg and cry * im trying to get my money back i need it
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. To provide accurate information, could you please tell me if there was any written agreement or terms of repayment when you lent the money to your friend? Also, could you please provide your location?
Yes it was but he didint sign can i make him sign now if he agreed to
Hello ****, if the other party agrees to sign now, it's possible. However, it's important to note that:
- The agreement should clearly state the terms of repayment.
- Both parties should sign willingly.
- A witness or notary public can add validity.
Please consult a local attorney for detailed advice.
Ok i can work on that but if wont do it do i have any other options
If he doesn't agree to sign, you could consider the following options:
- Mediation: An unbiased third party can help resolve the issue.
- Small Claims Court: If the amount is within their limit.
- Collections Agency: They can pursue the debt for you.
Please note, these are general options. For specific advice, consult a local attorney.
Ok do you have any number or websites i can call or go to
Of course, ****. It would help if you could provide your location to give you the most relevant contact information.
