Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Re: I want my money back

You can, but if your "friend" refuses to acknowledge receipt of the money it will be a difficult case to prove. Was it deposited into a bank account?

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.

Re: I want my money back

You are describing some terms of an oral contract for the loan of money, never a good idea. If the sum involved exceeds $500 then generally you will need to show some written item signed by the party "to be charged" evidencing your agreement.

However, here you have something in writing. Whether it is sufficient to prove the case is another matter. The statemet could probably be offered as some evidence of your oral agreement. It also depends if there is any other commercial paper involved that the borrower made use of, that you could obtain through discovery.

Do you know what was done with the money?

Does your friend deny the agreement? Why two dates?When was the money due?

6 years is the statute of limitations for a normal contract, although the uniform commercial code provides 3 and 4 year statutes for some situations.I don't know if they would apply here.

Not enough information.
