I loaned appx. $3,900 to my sister & brother in law to start their business. I took cash advances on my credit cards and a loan to get the money for them. We have no written agreement. Now they are saying that they never borrowed the money. The only proof that I have is a cancelled check in the amount of $1,500 and a copy of their bank statement where the check was deposited into their account. I also have a credit card statement listing a cash advance in the amount of $2,400 and a copy of their bank statement showing a deposit with the same amount and on same date going into their account from the same bank (we went together to make these transactions, and we both banked at the same bank)
Are the bank statments and cancelled check enough evidence to prove they borrowed the money. Is their other evidence that I could gather that would help.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
You have a very good case. Your argument to the judge, after you show the evidence documents, would be: "Your Honor, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck."
In other words, you not only have direct evidence, the cancelled check, but you also have good "circumstantial evidence" in the credit card statement, and their deposit statement.
