Unfortunately the loan was disapproved and the money he borrowed was used buying a car and even asked me if he can pay me in installment basis since i understand his situation i told him to repay me on installment but the problem start when he stop paying me 8 months ago .I tried to talk to him his debts but he is keep on telling me that he dont have any money ..up to now i am having a hard time talking to him ...he is not even answering my call and text messages ..please i need some advise or help what will i do ?and we dont have any aggreement or documents to support this statement ? I am really confused hope someone willing to help me legally ......
worriedguy, very sorry to here about your experience. we were just talking about truthful friends on another thread. its very hard to trust any one. you were just been a good and helpful friend when he needed you, now this is his pay back to you, hmm!
well i cant say much here cus i didt hear the other side of the story, but the fact and the matter is that if you borrow some one money its their duty to return it on the agreed date or time.
you mention that hes a muslim, we dont want to bring in religious issue now, bt i may say if hes a real muslim he should be aware of paying back the money he borrowed.
its really sad to see how people misuse others trust and kindness.
sorry to say I dont know any other way to help you out, just try talking to him, and remind him when he was in need of your help and you trusted him and you were there for him. may be he will have some quilt and will honestly start paying back your money.
wish you all the best !
good luck
action speaks louder than words
Dont Trust your money with someone else.
i feel you kabayan. thats too bad. Money indeed is a root of all evil.
My friend who sued in civil court and won was filipino. She sued an Indian.
don;t be scared..so what if he is a muslim fil? both of you are expats here.
kadaut...
by this time i am heading to his accomodation and be firm on him....he is even telling me if i file a case against him he will face me in court and he is a muslim filipino..
that's one way of losing friends...guaranteed
In this modern world, internet is the great equalizer.
if it worked for who am i, maybe to you too ... went to the French Embassy and gave her name and phone number and if they said they will contact the Philippine Embassy. perhaps the Philippine Embassy set up a meeting and she will promised to pay you back... hehehe just a joke kabayan!! you're such a good pal... you should lent to me instead... lolz.. peace... :D

worriedguy, you may try my scaring tactic mentioned above,lol
kadaut...
thanks for all your concern filing a civil complaint against him will do even if it was only verbally agreed between the two of us...what if he denied it ? what action will i take all i have is our text conversation by the way i am filipino...
Guy, you should be worried. :/
my dad always told me never to loan money i'm not comfortable giving away...its too bad this happened but if you follow that advice it'll never happen again!
Lend your money and lose your friend
[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
File a complaint in Central Security Division under cheeting. He will be in a lockup in no time.
Never give any money if you are not prepared to lose it forever. Not to friends, not to relatives No ONE! I'm not saying don't give, just do it knowing that you may never see it again.
Have someone else call him or text him (try one of those "You've won a prize!" scams to get him to answer back) Speak respectfully, but firmly that he needs to start paying you back, even if it is only 10 QR a week, but immediately, and if he stops, even for a week, action will be taken towards him. Tell him you are giving him a chance, but you will file a civil complaint against him at the court on C-ring road if he does not pay.
I lent my mate 30 riyals last month... sheesh, still waiting on it.

try asking the help of your sponsor or any local and let him call your friend. if he is an expat, i am sure the voice of the local man will be enough to scare him into paying you. now if you are both local qataris then i dont know how to help you:-)
kadaut...
must say that you have very nice friends.
Try calling him from someone else's phone.
A very hard lesson learned. The police here is not gonna move unless you have documents about it to prove that he really owed you money. Unless you ask him to give you post dated checks, that can be possible. So he will be obligated to pay you. He is not answering your calls? If you know his place, go and meet him. But that kind of issue, good luck.

One time I lent a Filipino some money too, she was like a drama queen and she was crying and telling me that she's broke at the moment and needs to pay her son's school fees and if she didn't, her son won't be able to take exams. Then after a couple of months, she stopped answering my calls. Then I went to the French Embassy and gave her name and phone number and they said they will contact the Philippine Embassy. Then the Philippine Embassy set up a meeting and she promised she's gonna pay me back. Then she did! Kalas!
