Originally posted by alexkusu:oh..u think so? Im not sure eh.. in my mind i lend the money cos i feel they need it more than me....money is not everything right? Also sometime my friends say that Im being taken advantage of. Oh well, I guess thats life. People more fortunate should help unfortunate.

I managed to get her to give me a receipt, bearing the company's name and the amount payable to me (wonder this can be considered as IOU?), early this year. Other than that, I do not have any other evidence as most of the funds released to her are via cash cheque (how stupid am I). At that point of time, I was merely thinking of helping her and I sincerely thought she has some family problems, little do I know what she intends to do ....
Thanks for the intro of lawyer .... I dun mind having the contact if possible .. Like what you siad, better than nothing. I also lose her contact liao as the company has wind up and she has also moved away from her residential home ... made thousand of calls to her but no responses as xpected .. Well, I understand I can sue her for bankrupcy and possess whatever things owned by her including residential property?
Under the current situation, it's not really that advisable for you to directly employs a lawyer's service unless you're just out for general advices...
It seems like you can't even properly get hold of her... You'll probably face much more problems than just what a lawyer can do for you.. Try to find out more about her situations.. She might really be in a DEEP SH|T DEBT now for all you know, and you might just be dumping FURTHER MORE $ into the legal acts which may not even bring you much fruits (if any?)....
In BLACK and WHITE, you are at a GREAT LOSS. THAT, lawyers might also have their limitations...
NEXT TIME, do NOT lend BEYOND your ABILITY... Wanna talk about TRUE SAD CASE? YUP.. YOU'RE ONE NOW....
What about the services from the Debt Collecting Agency, can I do anything to them?
As told to you, it's quite UNLIKELY. At least not through LEGAL MEANS.
i tell you... there are cases whereby relatives refuses to return debts too.Originally posted by shade343:Hmm...Your case isnt really uncommon. In future never trust your money to anyone. It wont come back to you.
Small claims tribunal is for claims below $10,000Originally posted by mangolover:Sigh .... I got myself to be blamed ... Just that when I think of the good old days when we were together (with 2 others), we can talk our hearts out and practically everything in the world ... 15 over years of friendship ... so good till we can even talk dirty things and dun feel shy about it .. I am also sad that we have to end our friendship in this manner ... It is a painful experience for me .. while I can earn back what I've lost financially, through time, ... tilted friendship is hard to rebuild .. even if she eventually returned me the money, things can never be the same as before ...
Someone pointed out correctly, if you want to help, do it within your capability .... otherwise, when you fall, you aren't sure who will be there to lift you up ...
I came across a website call Small Tribunal Claims at subordinate court ... It allow consumers to file cases against company for unsatisfied services/products .... anybody has any idea what's this all about?
Don't think it's that much applicable in your case? You can give it a simple shot to see how things might go from there if you like..? Personal advice is don't pin too high a hope if any at all...Originally posted by mangolover:Sigh .... I got myself to be blamed ...
