Gunsan Attorney's Office Assistance | Recovery of a Loan Through the Assistance of a Gunsan Attorney

The client intended to file a lawsuit for the return of a loan against a former boyfriend.

While the client was dating the former boyfriend, the client lent money on several occasions at his request.

The client's former boyfriend told the client “I have nowhere else to turn for help” and asked to borrow money.

The client therefore lent the money, and even after the agreed repayment date had passed, the money was not returned.

Even after the breakup, the client's former boyfriend impersonated an attorney and attempted to extort money from the client.

In the end, the client visited the Gunsan office to pursue a lawsuit for the return of the loan and requested the attorney's assistance.

The attorney explained the 🔗lawsuit claiming the return of a loan.

■ Civil Act Article 598 (Definition of Loan for Consumption)

A loan for consumption becomes effective when one party agrees to transfer to the other party the ownership of money or other substitutes, and the other party agrees to return goods of the same kind, quality, and quantity.

■ Civil Act Article 390 (Nonperformance of Obligation and Compensation for Damages)

If an obligor fails to perform in accordance with the substance of the obligation, the obligee may claim compensation for damages. This does not apply, however, when performance has become impossible without the obligor's intent or negligence.

■ Civil Act Article 393 (Scope of Compensation for Damages)

(1) Compensation for damages arising from nonperformance of an obligation is limited to ordinary damages.
(2) The obligor is liable to compensate for damages arising from special circumstances only if the obligor knew or could have known of those circumstances.

*Because the matters that should be reviewed may differ depending on each person's circumstances, a 🔗legal consultation with an attorney for a detailed review can be helpful.

The defendant lied to the client on several occasions and did not return the loan.

The attorney emphasized the defendant's continued nonperformance of the obligation.

The defendant intimidated the client with statements such as “I collapsed and was at death's door because of you.”

The attorney argued that the client had suffered mental stress.

Even after breaking up with the client, the defendant contacted the client from an unknown number and made threats such as “I am an attorney, and I will file a complaint against you, so pay a settlement.”

The attorney emphasized that the defendant had impersonated an attorney in an attempt to extort money from the client.

The client requested the attorney's assistance to recover a loan lent to a former boyfriend.

The attorney assisted the client to the fullest, and the loan was recovered.

As this case shows, there are occasions when money lent even between partners cannot be recovered.

In situations like the one above, the attorney provides client-tailored solutions through in-person and video conferences with attorneys located across all regions.
