Whatsapp chat can be a proof before the courts

Dear Questioner,

Please note that borrowing any money from individuals who are not licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE is not allowed.

However, I assume this was a friendly loan without any interest. As this is a friendly loan, I am not sure there would be proper documentation.

If there is proper documentation, then you can easily file a criminal complaint in police station. Whatsapp chat can be a proof, but if you could convince him to sign a settlement agreement, it would be better.

You have not mentioned what was the mode of payment, I mean you gave the amount to the other party by bank transfer, cheque or by hand. If it is a cheque, that would serve as a good proof.

I would suggest you hire a lawyer so that the lawyer can serve a legal notice on behalf of you demanding the return of the amount by giving him a final warning to return the same within a stipulated time period.

Hope the above explanation gives you proper clarification. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further assistance or information.

Thank you.

Regards,
