An ex-boyfriend and I reunited about three months ago. I always referred to him as "the love of my life" but I think his new nickname will be "mistake of my life." I have two problems with him that involve money.
1. I invested $5,000 in one of his businesses. We had a paper created with amount lent and how much I would receive on the 30th each month for the next 8 months with interest included. We both signed it and had the document notarized. I was supposed to receive my first payment on November 30th---I have received nothing. He knows I need the money to pay my bills, but when I brought up the subject he said there may be a delay because the 30th fell on a Sunday. I have not heard from him for the last couple days and I usually hear from him nearly every day.
2. Because he invested so much money in another one of his businesses he needed $3,000 for his rent (he prepays his rent 3 months at a time so he does not have to sign a lease). He asked me if I could lend him the $3,000 for 2 weeks until the 30th of November. After a lot of reluctance I agreed. I didn't have the physical credit card, but the landlord accepted it over the phone with just me giving the number and expiration date. He was supposed to then draw up a new paper with the new loan and repayment amounts. He never did. Again, he has not repaid me for his rent.
My question is...what can I do to recover my $8,000? As far as the credit card charge goes can I dispute the charge? I don't even know the number or address of the merchant.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
