My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: CA
I lend the money to my brother-in-law in 2007. The amount is $23,500.00. My brother in law agreed to pay 9% interest for that money. I have been asking this money back from 8 Dec 2008. But he is completely avoiding me. He is not even ready to pick up my phone. He is earning lot of money. This money is nothing for him to return. However, He doesn’t want to give back my money for some reason. I don’t understand.
I don’t have any document other than the bank wire transfer receipt.
Can I take any legal action against him with only the proof of bank wire transfer receipt?
Do I need lawyer for this? Or I can go through small claims court.
Please advice.
Rds,
WL
