I’m trying to locate a person who owes me money. He’s been promising to pay by April 20th but won’t give me his address. He keeps in touch through his phone, though. Should I file a police complaint? What other options do I have?

Filing a police complaint for non-payment of debt is generally not advisable in India. You can explore civil legal options like issuing a legal notice and filing a suit in the appropriate court. Since you have his phone number, you can try contacting him directly or through a lawyer to seek repayment.

My brother bought some jewelry, and the remaining balance with the goldsmith was ₹1,00,000. He took my undated check as a guarantee, paying ₹5,000 every month for three years. After four years, he deposited the check into a closed account, causing it to bounce and leading to a complaint. What can I do to resolve this issue?

I paid a property developer in India a sum of money for a plot but due to unforeseen circumstances, I decided not to purchase it and requested a refund. The developer returned a portion in cash and the remaining ₹1,10,000 through two checks of ₹55,000 each. Dated June 29, 2015, he marked one check for withdrawal on August 5th and the other on August 10th, 2016. After two bounces, the first check cleared but the second bounced three times due to insufficient funds. The developer assured me of prompt payment but I haven’t received the remaining ₹55,000.

I gave a cheque as security in 2015 and paid the amount in cash. However, the person presented the cheque and it bounced. I stopped payment on the cheque before it bounced. No case was filed for two years, but a police officer has been calling me for the past five days demanding I visit the police station, threatening an FIR if I don’t. The cheque bounced in a different district. Can they file an FIR after two years? Should I go to the police station?

My supplier’s cheque bounced twice because they didn’t have enough money. What can I do to get my payment?

Namaste Sir, I bought a 200 square yard plot of land near Jayanti village, about 70 kilometers from Vijayawada, six years ago. Back then, it cost me Rs 80,000. I have a receipt for the payment, but the seller never handed over the property. Despite numerous calls and visits, I was given two checks after four years, and my original receipt was taken back. However, these checks bounced. The seller claimed it was due to an urgent payment, and his account was empty. After repeated attempts, he promised to pay me Rs. 2,00,000, the current government rate, but only gave me Rs. 50,000 in November 2016. He assured me the rest would be paid in subsequent months, but that never happened. The land now costs Rs 8,000 per square yard. I am working abroad on a 28-day rotation, so I haven’t been able to follow up effectively. Recently, I learned the seller has a 420 case filed against him. I feel cheated. If this seller is allowed to continue operating his property associates in Vijayawada, others might be deceived. He has expanded his business. Please advise on how to proceed in this matter.

Previous Article My husband and his family abandoned me five years ago, demanding more dowry. I filed a case against him under sections 498A, 406, 506, and 323 of the Indian Penal Code. I’ve been living with my daughters at my parents’ home ever since. I found out that he remarried on November 13th, 2013, without getting a divorce. His new wife is living with him at his family’s house. I filed a complaint but haven’t been able to find proof of this second marriage. His wife recently gave birth to a baby boy, but I don’t know where or exactly when the child was born. This is against the law, isn’t it? What can I do to get justice and protect my rights?
