An unpaid loan recovery matter should begin with proof of lending, repayment terms, bank transfers, acknowledgements and limitation dates. The correct legal route depends on whether the loan is documented, whether liability is admitted, and whether security or cheques were given.
Documents to collect
- Loan agreement, promissory note or written acknowledgement
- Bank transfer records and repayment history
- Messages or emails admitting liability
- Demand notice and proof of delivery
- Cheque or security documents, if any
Possible legal routes
Depending on the record, options may include demand notice, regular civil suit, summary procedure, cheque-bounce proceedings where statutory requirements are met, settlement, or execution if an earlier decree exists.
Route-selection checklist
| Record | Why it matters |
|---|
| Written loan agreement or promissory note | Helps establish the lending terms, repayment obligation and agreed jurisdiction. |
| Bank transfer plus written acknowledgement | Can support both payment proof and admission of liability. |
| Cheque issued for repayment | May create a separate statutory route if the cheque and notice requirements are satisfied. |
| Security or identified assets | May affect interim-protection or enforcement strategy, depending on the legal rights created. |
