A friend asked to borrow $14,000. It's between his company and me, but he signed it personally. He said he'd repay me in a month along with an additional $1,000 interest for loaning it to him. I wrote up a promissory note and we both signed it but it is not notarized. He is now 20 days in default. I told him I'd go to the Indiana Small Claims Court, but now he says that I violated the loan sharking laws. Now I'm afraid to file to get my money back.
