My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: CA
Hello...Long story short a loan was made by a married couple to a neighbor in 2000...well documented, not recorded, first partial payment made in 2008, married couple divorces in 2009, husband gets all the non-cash assets including this loan. Ex-wife dies in 2011. Husband contacts debtor in 2015 and asks for payment. Debtor states he paid the ex-wife by check in 2010.
If the husband calls bullsht on this is the debtor required by some law to show viable proof of the check or can he just say 'sorry all my records were eaten by the dog'.
Thanks.
