Dispute with the creditor over non documented money


03-Aug-2023 (In Recovery Law)
We have a dispute with a creditor. He supplied material worth approx. Rs. 20lakh in 2013 on chalan basis but did not raise a bill for the same (out of books). We paid him in cash(no proof) periodically in subsequent years. Meanwhile, he was our regular supplier with whom with did majority business in white as well till 2015. Our accounts as per books were settled in 2013. As of today, we have an advance of Rs. 1.5 lakh given to him standing in our books since 2015. We stopped doing business with him since the end of 2015. Now, he has double-crossed us. He is threatening us to pay Rs. 20 Lakh + Interest on the unbilled amount. He says he has the signed 'delivery challans' & 2 emails that he sent on our email id mentioning the materials, quantity with challan numbers. He has been sending us various texts demanding that money for 6 months. We were advised not to reply to the text messages. Kindly advise on what cases can he file against us, how strong is his case & what remedies available?

In your case you have to state that all business was done in cash and against the delivery challans and deposit of Rs. 1,50, 000/- is still standing in his books of accounts as an advance, hence request him to refund the deposit at the earliest.

You have to show the messages raising demands, your books of accounts and the copy of challans as well. Only after going through the said documents, it can be ascertained as to what action can be taken by him and what you should do prior and after his actions.
