I lent a friend 30000 dollars almost two years ago . He's not responding to my calls and he does own a home. What can I do

Answered 9 years and 8 months ago by attorney Richard E Palumbo, Jr.   |   1 Answer
Good morning. I am sorry for your situation. You should be able to file a complaint in court against your friend and attempt to collect the $30,000.  If you are able to obtain a judgment then you will need to execute on the said judgment.  If your friend has a job then we could potentially attach his wages.  If your friend has other assets then we could possibly go after those assets. Please feel free to contact me to discuss the matter in more detail. Thank you, Richard E. Palumbo, Jr. Law Offices of Richard Palumbo, LLC* 535 Atwood Avenue, Suite 4 Cranston, RI 02920 www.richardpalumbolaw.com / rpalumbo@richardpalumbolaw.com Tel: 401.490.0994 / Fax: 401.490.0945 *Our attorneys are admitted in RI, MA, CT and US District Court - RI and MA Nothing contained in this email shall establish an attorney – client relationship and no such relationship shall be established without a Client Legal Services Agreement signed by you and us.   ...

Can a collection agency take you to court

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
If you owe money to creditor, the creditor has the legal right to bring suit against a debtor in default of the contractual agreement.  I suggest you contact a local consumer rights attorney to discuss your situation as there are various state and federal consumer and legal protections in place to protect your rights and a local attorney will be familiar with your state's consumer protection laws. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.
