Bounced Cheques and harrasment
A Qatari borrowed money from due to reason he will take a flat unit. I lent him 5,500 qrs and he issued me a posted dated cheque for security. I deposited the cheque on the said date but it bounced and got the returned cheque through mail from my bank and insufficiency in funds. To say the least after i received the notice and cheque after 2 weeks i tried to contact this qatari (who is by the way as he claims working with CID). But to no avail I even went to the flat which he is renting put a not at his doorstep saying to contact me. Then i approached somebody he knows to contact him for us to let him know that i wanted to talk to him regarding the cheque. Now this qatari is making problem to me and he is the one angry why i do not contact him directly and contesting that i only contacted him once, and why would i go to some route of his friend to reach him! I needed the money and its already been more than a month since i lent him last july. he is furious about that and surprised me. any way now he is challenging me to go to police and report the matter but at the same time he is threatening me. he will also file a case on me meaning he will make life difficult for me here. I am a family man and i lent him money to help him out now i am the one who is being threatened and bearing the problem. I know he can make problem for me he is a local and a CID man. I need help....advice....
I did not put any interest.
@treydad : No no interest charge what so ever plain as what i have lent him. same amount. I am trying to collect. !
Did you place an interest on his borrowed money ?
If yes, be careful when you go to CID. You are not a bank or a financial institution so it is not legal to place an interest on the borrowed money.
I think this is the reason why he is challenging you to report him to the CID. There is a goog chance you will be placed in jail too for breaking the law on banks and financial institution.
just an advise fo caution.
go to the capital police.. file an official complain... you have evidence (bounced cheques) so for sure you'll win the case... just don't be scared... tell the police about the threats/harrasment as well... goodluck!
One word: POLICE!
