Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York
Trying to retrieve paymnet on a personal loan
HI,
I loaned someone $20k and they have never given me a dime back. They claim they sent me a check int he mail for a payment and that someone cashed it so I am the thief! I never recieved a check! I have no promissory note but just e-mails with their consent, a bank wire to them, and a faxed and signed agreement from them. They are not answering my e-mails or calls and are just playing games now. I owe $20k to this bank and am racking up interest fees and am in turmoil for myself and my family. I went to a lawyer and she said there is not much I can do legally without it costing alot.
Is there are any recourse I can take. I just want my money back! Please help!

It doesn't necessarily have to cost that much nut you will have to expend some money tp initiate a lawsuit against your debtor for any real hopes of retrieving any money.
