You may be barred by the Limitations Act. under contract law you have 6yrs from the breach ie non payment to recover the debt. If since 1999 you have contacted the debtor and they have acknowledge liability for the debt ie promised to pay you could then pursue it in court but I don't fancy your chances without evidence. If you lose the case you would have to pay the costs too.

if it is 6 years since you last demanded the money then i don't think you have a case. If you have demanded the money get the other person to confirm the debt to you. you can then make a claim in court. if they do not confirm the debt then you will have to find proof that you did actually loan the money , i.e you gave the money and it was not for something else. go to a citizens advice bureau or a solicitor. you could also go to a court where you can get all the documents you need to make a claim. good luck

It sounds very unlikely that you would get any where legally, you would have to have proof. Its the same when someone swindles you out of money, if you handed it over therefore it is your own fault.
It may have changed since then, with a lot of internet fraud cases appearing, but all i can say is good luck.
You do have other options, but none of them really legal. BTW Did you lend the money to a guy called Stuart Hepburn??

The 'cheap' / fast track process is known as 'Small Claims', however this is usually limited to a max. of £5000.
IF you can break the claim into smaller sums, take the Small Claims route (check out the link to CAB below).
I suggest you visit CAB anyway - they should be able to suggest most cost effective way ...

Was this guy by some chance living with a chick named Corina DeFore? She has owed me money since 1983 at East High School in Wichita and NEVER paid me.

you can still take it to court and have your case heard by a judge and if you have witnesses who actually heard you make the deal would help. you never know how a judge might rule in a case like that.

Get in contact with the citizens advise bureau, they will be able to tell you where you stand and where you go!
