If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The first part appears to be a civil matter between you and your friend. If I was you, I would try to get her to pay the monies back before making any waves with her on the other issues. I can assure you that if government agencies are after her for fraud or other misappropriation of monies, you will be her last thought. It is your choice, but most people would look out for themselves first.

Re: loan fraud

This is a civil matter. You can file suit in the county court on the agreement (assuming it is enforceable) and seek her contact information through discovery requests to her employer and her mother. If they fail to adequately respond to your discovery requests, you can seek a court order compelling them to do so. You should set up an appointment with an attorney to review your case.

The other allegations you make are criminal in nature, and you really have no power to cause criminal prosecution. In fact, even threatening criminal prosecution could create liability both criminal and civil on your part.
