Re: questionable loan

Based on your question, I would think that you would owe him $1500.

He loaned you $2500, proof being the writing in the check memo - which you deposited. When you delivered $1000, that was in partial payment of the loan. When he returned the $1000 to you, that was a gift. The vacation was a gift.

Therefore, since you made partial payment on the loan of $1,000, the amount owed would be $1,500.
