thanks bro..but I don't have any connections with efcc

Why the threat of police? Isn't it a clean deal? If he is truely owing you and the deal is not controversial, serve him paper from court. Don't let him go to the police first or else; they will maneuver you and twist the case.

My brother... There is no doubt he is owing you... In fact unlike me I do believe he is owing you. But if your debtor starts threatening you... Just know that he has discovered a legal loop hole in your initial agreement and he is willing to use it against you in any theater of engagement having competent jurisdiction on such matter.

So check am well it's either you don't have any document with his signature on it or no document bearing the stipulated amount or balance signed by him. There are a lot more instances of loop holes...

As for me, I make it a point of duty to write my debtors every few months asking for my payment and I always make sure they acknowledge a copy of all my letters... In a year I make them acknowledge up to 2 or 3 letters for me. And I will now go and file all of them behind the original contract award letter.

My dear in court... The letters I will present go fit reach 10...if you count am well ;and all of them carry the man signature "Original copy received" with date.

Even when I wrote my bank to cancel a cheque I still collect acknowledgement copy from a whole bank... A whole bank. As if I knew... The crook still went ahead to present my cheque. I dey for mechanic when I receive debit... I just smile.

The problem be say I no want carry a whole bank go do court case so I just calmly went to the branch and made them reverse it. They knew the wahala that can emanate from such error... You needed to see how they we're sweating and clicking their computer trying to reverse the thing before the money go far... ;DD

So what am saying is you have made a contractual blunder somewhere... Trust me.

I knew you made a contractual blunder... My brother the only person you give money to procure something should be your wife. Any other Mara you want to procure something for you should be given an LPO or contract letter stating the amount of initial mobilization and signed "collected by me" with date.

Even date of delivery should be stated. If it comes 1 second late you have the right to revoke the procurement and ask for a refund.

Business is a war front... Bro wake up!

the only evidence I have is his bank notes on the part he repayed earlier. Which he acknowledged owing me.. I believe that should still be counted as proof

police will never get his money back... the best they can do for him is to arrest the debtor threatened him/her to pay the money, the debtor might agree to pay the money instalmentally... but if the debtor is too wise he will bail himself , the best police will tell u is to take the case to court.. believe me is not going to end in 4years if u take him to court, police don't settle disputes but they can only prosecute and help u get judgment

Sure that should still Count as a Proof..
