#If the borrower claims that his lender charged him interest and he should return it, if the lender responds that it was done in a permissible way he is believed without any oath. Some say that it is necessary to specify how it was done permissibly.<ref>Taz 168:36</ref> This is true as long as the lender already collected the interest. However, if he has a collateral of the borrower or a legal document that entitles him to collect, he can collect after making an oath. If he responds that he didn’t take any interest or doesn’t know if he took any interest, he is believed only if he takes an oath to that effect. This is true as long as the lender already collected the interest, has a collateral of the borrower, or have a legal document that entitles him to collect. However, in absence of that and the lender hasn’t yet collected if the borrower claims that he doesn’t owe the money due to interest he is believed and doesn’t have to pay.<Ref>Shulchan Aruch and Rama Y.D. 168:25</ref> | |||
