A year ago, a person who I used work with called my cell and asked me if I could lend him $1100. I had never lent anybody money ever so I said NO first, but reason he asked me was that his son had cancer and his insurance didn't cover his the treatment. He needed to get his son a shot everyday which costs few hundred dollars. I felt so badly for him. I decided to lend him cash. He wrote me a note that said he owes me $1100 and give it back to you in a week. A week later, he gave me the money back. I threw the note away. He called me again few days later and asked me if I can borrow that money again. He said that he can give it back in 3 days. I still had that money in my wallet so I lent him that without a note this time. He made excused and didn't give me the money for few months.
One day I met him and told him to pay me back. He wrote me a check for $1100, but he asked me please wait for while to cash that money. It didn't make sense, did it? but anyway, few months later, he gave me only $100 cash. That was 7 months ago. He quit a job few months ago where I used to work at with him . When I talked to him, he said that he will stop by my house to pay all. He didn't show up and since then, I can't get hold of him. I still have his cell phone number, but I don't know where he lives and where he works anymore. I contacted his wife once recently. His wife filed for a divorce last March and doesn't know where he lives right now. I went to branch office of his bank before and tried to cash his check, but that account was already closed. I still have his signed check with me though. He doesn't pick up his cell phone anymore. He keeps ignoring. His wife said that he is probably lives in Michigan where I live. He used live in Ohio. I don't know how I can find him and how I can get that money back. I guess if I don't know where he is, I don't claim for small court and I don't know if his sighed check for $1100 is valid for anything. Please help me.
