How to recover money lent to ex colleague who is not responding
Hi
I have lent Rs 1 Lac to my ex colleague in January this year. He requested this money to pay the hospital expense for this family member. At the time of taking money he said he will repay it in a month.
Since, March I have been requesting him to pay back money. Most of the times he do not respond to my messages (whats app) and e mails. Few times when i did manage to speak to him he said he will do it in a day or two.
Early this month after long persuasion he returned Rs 25000 and promised to transfer Rs 75000 soon that I'm waiting till date.
Recently I came to know he has taken money from most of the ex colleagues and never returned there money. He has resigned from his current job and going to join new employer in Bangkok. This ex colleague of mine is based in Mumbai.
Please advice,
1, Can I take take any legal action against him to recover my outstanding?
2, He is soon going to leave India, Is there a way we can stop him? As once he leaves it will be more difficult to track him.
Regards
