Subject: inquiry regarding filing money recovery suit based on recent transactions

Subject: Inquiry Regarding Filing Money Recovery Suit Based on Recent Transactions 

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your expert advice on a legal matter concerning a recent transaction related to a promissory note dated 25-03-2021.

As per the terms of the promissory note, I lent a sum of money to opposite party, who issued the promissory note acknowledging their debt. Despite repeated attempts to recover the amount,  denied having taken any loan when I sent a legal notice on 2-01-2021.

However, on 8-01-2024, I received a response from advocate reiterating their denial of having taken the loan. I refrained from filing a money recovery suit within the limitation period due to financial constraints, particularly in paying court fees and legal charges.

, on April 17th, 2022,  made a transaction to my bank account through their UPI, paying the interest amount. This transaction raises the question of whether I can now file a money recovery suit based on this new development.

I seek your guidance on the following:

 • Is the transaction sufficient evidence to support filing a money recovery suit?

 • Given the previous denial and subsequent payment, what legal avenues are available to pursue recovery?

 • What steps should be taken to strengthen the case based on this transaction?

If he had paid some amount towards the interest of the said loan and subsequently stopped paying the loan amount or interst amount, then you can issue a legal  demand notice once again on the basis of the fresh or renewed/ acknowledgment of receipt of loan on the basis of the latest transaction. 

But you have to issue a legal demand notice once againb and on his refusal to repay you can file a money recovery suit

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     20 April 2024

It can be presumed that he acknowledged your legal notice hence he paid some amount towards the loan or interest, which clearly makes sense that he acknowledged the loan.  Thus the limitation will start afresh from the date of latest payment, hence you can very well file a money recovery suit on the basis of the promissory note which obtained new lease subsequently, however you may have to issue legal demand notice once again narrating the subsequent events in order to establish the fresh limitation from the date of the last payment and demand the balance amount i.e., principal and interest after deducting the last payment.
