but I sent the money to the company , not to the friend. He was the owner of the company , at that time. Now, the company is owned by a different person. I believe the debt is from the company, not the man. Am i wrong? Thanks

hello. I never got it in writing. It was just some phone calls and me sending the money from my bank account to the company's bank account. I don't think he could argue it was a gift ( also, my wife knew about it from the beginning ) . My last contact with him was like 2 -3 weeks ago. He never argued about the debt, but he kept on telling me he has no money. I checked the company on the Company's House and that is how i knew the owner of the company changed in January. Thank you,

Hello. I need some legal advice in regards to some money I lent to a company. In December , last year (5 months ago ) , i lent £2000 to a friend's company . He said he would give me the money back in a few days. . In the mean time, the situation got rough, he kept on telling me that next week he is going to pay but nothing ever happened. When I wanted to see what are my legal options I realised he sold the company to someone else ( so he wasn't the legal owner of the company anymore). I sent the money in December, from my bank account to the company's bank account . Please tell me what should I do, legally, to get my money back. I heard something of a Small Case Court, but I have no idea if it is the best solution and what I have to do before . Thank you very much
