Collecting Loan to family member

Roughly 7 years ago lent family member a substanitial amount of money. Family member was suppose to pay back. Nothing in writing, verbal agreement. I have copy of returned checks. How do we collect the money. Every time asked for it the response is in 6 months. We would like a fair interest rate due to money being invested.
