we need clarification. Was the money you put in a loan or a capital contribution where you were a part owner of the entity? What type of entity was it - partnership, C-Corporation, S-Corporation? What documentation do you have to support your investment/loan and your inability to recover the balance?

Thanks, it was an LLC. I have the contract that shows orginal capital investment with interest terms, ı have the final agreement of payment disclosure that shows the final capital settlement. It was more of a loan as ı was never part of the owner of the entity.
