Need advice on how to obtain someone's details for a legal case
My mom recently told me that my dad lent his friend a huge amount of money (50k) back in 2018. They've been trying to get him to pay it back all these years but to no avail. So she finally asked my help to sort it out
Here's where it gets tricky. My dad being the trusting person that he is, didn't ask for his friend's details (IC number, address etc) and those things are required in order to launch a lawsuit. The only thing we have is his phone number
I've tried everything I could think of so far. I asked the guy hundreds of times to pay up, even threatening to take him to court. But I guess he caught my bluff since he knows we don't have his details. When I lodged a police report, they told me there's nothing they can do and to go to a lawyer instead
So I have a catch-22 on my hand and tbh I'm at my wit's end. I don't want to resort to illegal means in order to get my dad's money back, but atp that seems the likely option. Idk man
For now at least, I still want to pursue a legal case against the guy. And in order to do that, I need to get his details. Does anyone here know how to go about getting it using his phone number?
