sms747 995 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My Thai mrs is self employed and is owed over 40k for the last several months by a falang businessman. It has got to the point where she either has to write it off or take legal action, I don't think she should let him off the hook as he spends wads everymonth in high class entertainment venues, so is not on the breadline, he also owes much larger sums to others but continues the high life. What options are there to recover the debt? obviously as it's not a great sum (to her it is) it's not worth spending thousands on legal help, is there some sort of small claims inexpensive route? Should she start out with just a letter from a lawyer? maybe that would wake him up to his responsibilities. She has all the documentation with his signatures. This guy comes from a very rich family so he could easily get the money from home to pay off his debts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockey 128 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 She could sell the debt to professional debt collectors but that could be dangerous if they got too heavy and it was construed your wife paid to rough up the debtor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliaminBKK 304 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Has he written a cheque to cover the debt and it bounced? if so I know you can go to that bank and put the cheque "On collection Demand" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel 17207 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Step 1....Get a lawyer to write a letter to the company saying if invoice is not resolved you will be taking legal action to recover monies Step 2 - if step 1 doesnt get a response get your Mrs to lodge a complaint with the police, police will summon him to the local copshop for a face to face meeting maybe with your Mrs present....if he doesnt show....police can put an arrest warrant on him None of the above will cost more than a couple of k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck... you should name and shame him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
