Sometime back in September / October i lent about 6~7k to a coworker but he quit the company The reason he used to borrow money was that his family was in a precarious situation and really needs the money ^ said that the brother borrowed from loan sharks and they came up to harrass him so he urgently needed the money to cover for his brother or else his mother would have a heart attack
ngl i do feel like i was a complete dumbass and a bit too generous with my money but what is done is already done is there anything i can do to get my money back? he isn’t really replying or anything and uhm idt it’s legal to go knock on someone’s door and ask for the payment
for more information : he did promise that he would pay me back as soon as possible and even set the date of repayment to be the 7th of every month but we’re now nearing the date but he’s leaving me on a single tick i do suspect that he’s lying + ran away with the money
^ is it illegal to loan money to someone in Singapore? i seriously didn’t know tbh 🙁 he sounded so desperate and really needed help but ngl I’m really tight on cash rn so if he doesn’t pay me back I’m kinda in deep trouble…also i didnt charge any additional sum or interest
