how can i recover money i loaned to at the time my significant other?

Question

i gave him my entire life's savings. and of course he's not with me anymore. i am an adult, i made a mistake. i need real advise, please! no, i don't have a promisary note, but there are people including members of his family and mine that either witnessed it or know about it and not by hear say.

Answer 1

rob him if there's no written proof basically its his word over Ur's .court wants contracts.the only way to do it is ask or take something of hi sand don't get caught sounds bad but its true.don't fell bad for him either he took every thing you had just returning the favor.for real go for it.

Answer 2

Depending on the amount of money you loaned him, you can take him to small claims court and explain the situation to the judge and have the witnesses testify that they knew about this.
You have a 50-50 shot at winning.

There is always Judge Judy. She'd rip him a new one.

Answer 3

If you made it clear that it was just a loan then you can sue him and get it back even if it wasn't in writing a verbal agreement is legally binding. It would be better if it was in writing though. If you never told him that it was just a loan and he would have to repay you then you are out of luck this will be a hard lesson you will have to learn.

Answer 4

you can try to sue, but without a promissary note...specifically stating the amount of money "loaned", and that it was a loan to be paid back to you....he can state it was a "gift", and you will get nothing. Possibly if you have family members of his stating that they saw you offer the money as a loan, and he agreed to pay you back, you may be able to recover some, but it's highly unlikely.

Answer 5

I wouldnt hold my breath if I were you. It doesnt sound as tho you have a shred of prove to substianate your 'loan'.

Answer 6

You can sue.
