This man is badmouthing me to whomever he meets.The loan amount taken from him was paid thru postdated cheques,which he intentionally bounced(as the cheques were not with specific dates on them).I instantly paid him half the amount thru Demand draft ,and was paying his remaining amount as and when possible.He used to return me my cheques after paying the cheque amount.Suddenly I got warrants,not knowing why these were served for when i was already in the process of paying him.For each cheque he had filed a separate case and had not withdrawn a single case even when the payments were done.To the magistrate he agreed to settle the matters out of court.On the other side he wrote to my headoffice that i intend to cheat and that i was absconding and i was arrested and on bail and i have not paid him anything.
In my absence he sent cops to my place with warrants creating a scene where i stay and telling everybody that i m absconding and he needs NOC for sealing of my flat and theatens me.

You can sue him for harassment in the case when he wrote to your head-office. Even if you were in default on your loan, he had no right to write to your place of work. You can sue him for this incident. You will need to have a copy of that letter, and show the exact damage it had done to you.
You can not sue him for all the other incidents.

When you say "this man", did you take out a loan with someone on the side that you gave postdated checks to,or is this with an institution or check cashing business. I fyou gave him post dated checks and/ or have a loan agreement and can prove you were paying him or he was depositing the checks earlier than you agreed, then you have a case for fees and the like. If you have the letter from your head office and you have not been arrested and out on bail then you could sue if it has caused you damage or a lose of money. he has the rights do do everything he has done with warrants and cops if you did nto pay
Defamation of charactor does not work like most people think and more than likely you will not get anything, in reference to that, but speak with a lawyer in your area and they will knwo more

don't believe the B,S, you will hear on Y,A, wheather or not you have been paying him you have a very good civil case,and if you sue him he will pay dearly, but you need to gather evidence that he made derogatory statements about you to others, called you a cheat or some other name, also you said he had sent checks back to you that you had paid off , use those as evidence against him also, you can take him into small claims court and sue him up to $5,000.00 but if I were you I would get a attorney and sue for more, lol

First of all, was it a written loan? If so, the mode of payment should have been specified. Also, when you've made out the post-dated checks, you should have made sure that they had correct dates so they don't bounce and you should have asked for some kind of receipt. If you've done these things, then this evidence should help for your cases to be dropped.

You can not go to jail for debt. So don't worry about that.
If you can prove that his actions were "Negligent" and not what a "Reasonable Person Would Do" and that you suffered damages as a result from what he did....then you may have a case.

i don't know if it would work, i'm no legal expert, but i think you could take a loan out with a bank or something, to pay his off, and if he doesn't drop the case, since he has his money, you can file for harassment

look to the terms of the loan agreement that you signed, if you are paying in line with the agreement then you can counter sue him for harrasement ect. However if you are in default of the loan agreement then he is within his writes in what he is doing.

You have to find out what your rights are. Do not let this man get away with badmouthing you. If you do not stand up for you rights who will? Good luck.

Gather evidence to prove that he committed defamation. Then file a case against him so that he will stop badmouthing you.

always read between the lines before signing anything. coming many many screw ups here. my next question is did ever threaten you with any type of force physical or verbal? if so hell send to jail for assault charges, then that will buy you time to look it over
