Your only legal recourse should a dispute arise will be contract. Just writing on a check is not concrete enough. You will need a witness for verifying the memo was stipulated and presented at the same timeframe the check was issued. A contract is better, with both parties signing and both parties receiving a copy.I'd like to loan money a friend, How would I write check making clear is a loan?
i lent some money to a friend.. who i was friends with since i was 16 and it was around when i was 21 or something..





i lent him 1000 and only saw 200 of it..





never lend out more then you can afford to give away..





just at tip
In the memo section of the check on the lower left side, write ';loan - to be repaid';. Simple as that. Make a copy of the check. Make your friend sign a promissory note.
First of all, recognize this as a gift as anyone needing to borrow money from a friend rather than a bank has a history of not paying back loans. A simple step you should take to provide some protection and legal recourse would be to write up a simple promissory note it can even be in handwriting and on a piece of normal paper...nothing fancy: make sure to include:





1. The legal name/address of the lender and borrower


2. The loan amount


3. The terms: date of the loan, interest if any, re-payment schedule, collateral if any etc.


4. Date the document


5. Go to your bank with the borrower and have your signatures notarized.


6. Write out the check and in the memo write loan to (name of borrower): promissory note dated ______





Keep a copy of the check and the promissory note and when the check clears your account ask the bank for a copy of the front and back of the check so that if needed in the future you can easily prove that the funds were received by the borrower.
Put On the checks corner loan to be paid back make photo copy and a promised note to pay you back Good Luck
It would be better to draw up a seperate document. Simply writing loan on the check would not sufficiently protect you; i.e., when would it be due, what are the payments, is interest being charged, etc.
make them sign a contract stating that the money is a loan and that it should be repaid by said date; also make a copy of the check.
Dont you know you never do busn. with friends and or family cardinal rule #1!!! Now if you plan to still loan money to your friend dont expect to get it back. You could end up loosing your friend. Let him or her find a different way.
Piece of advice - never loan a friend money! If you insist on doing so, get an agreement in place between yourselves, so if there are any disagreements you can legally ensure you still get your money back.....
Write For: loan on the bottom of the check, and make him sign an agreement to pay you back. If it is a large amount and you really want/need it back, specify a certain amount of time. I have some close friends that I would not make do this, but I have been burned in the past. If you don't trust them, its best to have the agreement.
Promissory note!





The quickest way to LOOSE a friend is to loan one money!
Put a note on the memo that it's a loan for the amount stated in the check. Take it from a person who loaned so many friends some money, it's not always a good idea to loan money to a friend cause it could destroy friendship.
just make sure this is a good friend before doing this. This is a quick way to cause problems or loose a friend. But the best way to do this is to write on the check loan for (name). Then I would suggest you type up a letter stating the terms and conditions of the loan and have your friend sign it. This would make sure if anything would happen down the line, everyone would know this was a loan and not a gift.
