Hi Atty, just like to get your advise regarding my issue. Last January 2018, I transferred Php90,000 to my brother as he has offered to help me to loan a bigger amount from Cooperative. He say that by making a huge investment to a Cooperative nearby his place, I can loan in as much as Php350,000. That time, my family really needed huge sum of money so I trusted that my brother could help me. He had promised me that the loan will be issued after a week of investing the money. Until now March 28, he kept on saying that the person-in-charge of releasing the loan is still not around. I started to doubt and asked for a copy of receipt to prove that he really sent the money in Coop but he cannot show any proof. Until I warned him that I will sue him for estafa then he told me everything was a lie and asked me to forgive him. This was not the first time he did something to our siblings. I cannot trust him anymore even if he told me he will pay the money within 6mos. I want to demand to have the money back this April. The issue here is not only the money but all the lies he told me. This way will teach him a lesson and not to do this again. Please advise what should I do to get back the money that I sent him?
