Hey Ashmaan! Dealing with money transfers can be tricky. Here's some general information:
- If the money was a gift, legally you're not obligated to return it.
- If it was a loan, you might need to repay it.
- Document all your attempts to return the money.
Do you have any written agreement or messages indicating it was a loan?
theres no agreement or messages saying it was a loan and even if there was she has deleted the msg and theres no direct screenshot or writing of any loan i have screenshots my attempts to repay but if im being honest the original condition was to keep the money in my back sort of as a savings and not to touch it but she cant rlly prove that to anyone
