声称公司周转不灵,前男友在2015年借走三万多元,但仍有欠款拖欠至今。无奈下女子报警、找讨债公司帮忙要回款项,甚至于诉诸法律,要求前男友还款仍无果。 2014年底,来自中国的事主陈雅双,在他人介绍下认识了建筑公司业主,43岁的王韵川,两人很快发展成情侣。 2015年5月,王韵川声称其公司周转不灵,需要向陈雅双借三万元;以及同年3月15日,声称称要到美国卖房子来还钱需要现金,于是开了张6200元的支票,跟陈雅双换7千元现金。 不过陈雅双在2016年4月8日前往银行兑现,不过被告知支票跳票。感到受骗,陈雅双愤而报警。此后陈雅双也通过讨债公司追债,仍不得要领。 找讨债公司追债 陈雅双把此事带上法庭,也申请得传讯令状(Writ of Summons)要求王韵川面对诉讼。 根据当时的诉状,王韵川在2016年4月至6月间,归还了4500元给雅双,但即便如此仍积欠高达3万余元。 事主提供誌期2016年11月29日的法庭判决,基于被告王韵川未出庭,而被判需支付被告3万1500元、附加5.33巴仙利息以及法庭费用1千元。 今年再度报警 当时这宗个案也获得《新明日报》报导。当时陈雅双指自己已找过律师、发律师信追讨欠款,然而对方无动于衷。…
