Take him to court. |

Send him a certified letter asking for repayment. Give him a copy of the original check, and inform him that you will be forced to take him to court if he does not pay you the money back. Keep a copy of the letter and the receipt from the certified mail. Give him a date to respond by. Give him at least 2 weeks.
Call him 2 times a week until the deadline. Whether you get a hold of him or not doesn’t matter. You just need the proof you tried to collect the money on your cell phone records.
Now get a copy of the check, the cell phone records, and the copy of the certified mail receipt and collection letter. Go down to your local court house, and file a small claims case against him.
You may want to take him on a TV court show so that you’re guaranteed the money if you win. |

Yeah, I dealt with the same thing. Besides the "loan" you wrote on the cheque, do you have anything at all that shows that it was a loan? Any emails, letters, recordings between you and your friend that acknowledge that it was a loan? How about another person that can vouch that it was a loan and not a gift?
Small claims would be your best best, but if all you have is the word "loan" written on the cheque, it's going to be a tough case to prove!
In the future, no matter how awkward it may seem, always, always, always have the person sign something stating the terms, and that you both acknowledge that it is a "loan". Besides, if the person has every intention of paying you back, then he won't mind signing anything. If he gives you a bunch of grief about signing something, then you know he already knows he might not pay you back.
Good luck! |

Not a very good idea to make the loan, was it?
You can sue him in small claims court, although check in your area, sometimes the limit for small claims court is $5000. If you win, you still don't have your money, just a court judgement that he owes it to you - to actually collect you have to take additional steps and those will cost you money to do. |

You're out your money. That's an expensive way to learn the true meaning of the old canard "Never a lender nor a borrower be!" |

Its never good to lend money to friends. The lines are not very clear. I think you need to bit the bullet and call him and tell him that you need your money back, and work out a plan.
Then ....don't lend money to friends or family!
It just never works |

Your "friend" obviously doesn't think he has to pay you back or even take your calls.
Small claims court. It is user friendly and you don't need a lawyer.
If you don't end up recouping anything, after a period of time you can declare this as a loss on your taxes, and the IRS will count it as income for your "friend" - and hopefully the tax penalty from the IRS will give you some sort of satisfaction. |

take him to small claims court and force him to pay you back no lawyers involved since it is a low loan amount you just have to show you lent him the money and you have his signature in the check and the copy f the check so just do the american thing sue him and he will be forced to pay you back and the home troubles will go away showing that you are taking action to resolve the issue |

Sucker! Sucker! Sucker! No, seriously, it is good that you have the check and that it clearly states that it's a loan. However, did you have an agreement as to the time frame under which it should be paid back? If you did not specify the time, (a specific date, how many weeks or months) this person could argue that you never gave a time and use it to delay paying you back. Since this "friend" is ignoring you, send a straightforward letter demanding payment in full. Keep a copy of the letter as well as your Fedex envelope and receipt. Ask Fedex to deliver the letter but with the recipient's "signature required" so that he has to sign for it. If he still ignores you, then small claims court is your next step. Be aware that in some states, you can only recoup up to $5,000 in small claims court. |

Was it understood that he would pay you back within three weeks or did you not specify the time frame he had to pay it back?
Have you spoken to your friend and asked him where your money is? He might think he has all the time in the world to pay you back.
If he did know he had a 3 week time frame and now 4 months later he hasn't paid you back, then take him to small claims court to recover your money. The judge will ask you the same thing, was there a written or verbal agreement in place regarding the timeliness of payments back to you or was it just assumed. Cover your a@@ and make sure you have all documented paperwork including a copy of the cancelled check. If it's just your word against his you might have a tough time proving your case.
Now you know why they say never loan money to friends and family.
Good luck |

You can do one of two things...take him to small claims court or file a lien against him at your local court house. |

Small claims limit in NJ is $3000. NY is $5000. You should have got a note in writing specifying the terms. Make a demand, if nothing happens, you can take him to small claims court in NY and loose $1,000 |
