Yes. It happens more than you'd think. A private loan that started with good intentions and stopped being repaid is a valid debt, and we treat it as one. You don't need a signed contract, though any evidence helps. Text messages, bank transfers, an email confirming the amount. We handle it professionally, so the debtor is dealing with us, not you.
