lets say you loaned $300,000 to a relative to invest. a contract was signed that stated all the terms and conditions of repayement etc.
now its been 7 months since the money was to be repaid back and the relative hasnt paid it back. saying that he doesnt have any money on hand and will pay back once a particular investment's profits are distributed.
should you take legal action? relative hasn't ever refused to pay back the money and has just recently (within the last week) repaid a portion of it.....7 months later than the agreed upon date though!!!!!!!!!!!
Take legal action AFTER you gave the money? 😕 If you have to loan a huge amount of money to someone , do it the way bank does - with proper documentation and collateral... Otherwise consider it charity given or daan /punya and forget it. No one gets as much as the lawyer does if legal action is taken.
FWIW investment advice - If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. 😉
