    Unless he can prove it was a loan then a court cannot help him.

    However as to the threats......is it really worth the hassle?

    I would agree to pay him back, at an amount you can afford.

    If I ever lent (or gave) a friend money, I would expect it returned at some point.

    He has a copy of the cheque... dont know if that could help his case?
    It is not worth the hassle no, but I simply cannot afford to pay him back

    A cheque in itself proves nothing other than he gave you a cheque.

    If the threats are of a violent nature then perhaps you should inform the police?

    No, don't receive JSA.

    What ways would you suggest?!

    I am not in contact with him and have been advised not to due to the threats.

    I dont understand why he is being so threatening when he never stated that he wanted the money back in the first place
