What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I am Calfornian from 1983, I moved to India in 2003 . I file US tax return.
I borrow a $25K for few month from a freind who is real estate agent of me .We did not talk about interest charges. We dont charge interest from freinds. He want Money back in six month. I was going to write him a check, He insist that He should get paid interest. It was only 1115 $ he asked. to Keep freindship going I paid him with a check. He did not cashed the check for 2.0 year. Why I dont know. HE was going through divorce , may be hiding from his wife. I was in India and he called me to tell me that He did not cash the check and it is out of date now. HE asked me to send him a new check. I told him that I dont have online banking and I will get statement from bank to see if thatcheck is cashed or send me a copy of check. He took 6 month to tell me that he lost the check. So I ordered the bank statement for last 4 year from bank to find out the status of that check. again When I writeing him a check , He asked me check of $36000 because of interest for 4-5 year, I did not like this and Told him that We did not atalked about interest at the time of he lend the money so I will only pay him priciple only. He asked me to send him the check for principle amount and he is not happy with this my attitude. He got the $25K check from me and cashed. Now he is suing me and my wife for $10,000 in small claims court in california. I am staying in India for last 10 year and only go to USA for 10-15 days. Live with my relative or freinds. He have no buisness in USA .I do have bank account in USA but no property.
Do I have to apear in court ? Can I ask for more time to apear in court ? If I win the case then Can I sue this guy for expense of travling ? IF he win then Will he make me arrested for not payoing interest whick we did not talked ? Thanks again for helping in advance
