Re: Money loaned

The only thing you can do is sue. It's obvious he is not paying. Nothing short of a lawsuit will likely do anything. The lack of notary acknowledgment shouldn't be a problem. If the amount is less than $7,500, you should consider filing a small claims lawsuit. They are inexpensive and easy to file. If the loan amount is greater than that, feel free to contact our office by phone or email for help. We have handled several cases involving nonpayment of money owed. How much is owed? Does your agreement provide that attorney's fees are recoverable?

If you have a signed agreement, you have four years from the breach to file a lawsuit. Once you obtain a judgment, you can hire a collection attorney to assist in recovering your judgment.
