I took a loan on my name for a friend and he stopped paying. What can I do?

Dear Advisor,

One of my friends was working in the banking sector. One day he asked me to take a loan of AED 100,000, also he used all my credit cards.

And he promised to pay every month. I took a loan for him. After 2 or 3 months, he stopped paying the dues, and several times I requested to pay but he didn't pay.

Finally, I paid all the money, more than AED 200,000. One day he agreed to pay AED 4,000 every month and settle my money and stopped paying that also after 1 year.

Now, he is not responding and changed his contact number, I don't know where is he now!

Can anyone advise me on how to get my money back?

He gave me a cheque. When I talked to him last time he said he lost his job also.

There's now around AED 147,000 balance.

I have text messagees whenever I am receiving money from him. At the same time, I send a message that I received money and the balance amount is this much.

This is proof that that person owes you an amount.

I didn't submit it to the bank since I know he doesn't have money in his account.

The value is AED 200,000.

As long as you have a cheque with the mentioned amount, then you should start the case procedure against him.
