Send legal notice through lawyer..
File recovery suit for recovering your amount. The transaction is recorded and you have payment proof...but the other person may take defends that the money was due that is why you paid the amount, therefore you must have some evidence to show that the money you gave was a loan

Hi. You will have to file a suit in District Court for recovery of money. Since it's already been 3 years, you have a stale claim. But you can always say that you extended the contract for repayment orally from time to time. Simultaneously you can also lodge a police complaint against your friend for cheating and fraud. You will need some document or any other correspondence to show that the money was given to your friend as a loan and not against any other thing.
