<human>: Okay so here is the backstory.

We have a family friend - we'll call her Anne - and 4 years ago Anne asked us for $50,000 because she had to pay for some expenses in her daughters marriage. Her daughter ended up not going through with the marriage. Every year since then, we have asked Anne about the status of paying us back the money and every year Anne makes up some excuse about how she either doesn't have enough money to pay us back or just doesn't respond to our phone calls. She recently agreed to pay $250 per month towards paying off the loan. This obviously is less than even the minimum payment for the loan. Now the loan has gone up to $53,000 and we need to pay this money off because it is impacting our credit negatively. 

My father spoke to a few lawyers the other day and the first lawyer just sort of pitied my dad and said that he should have never given any money to anyone without a **WRITTEN** contract (obviously one of our huge mistakes when giving the money) and the second lawyer said that without any proof of us giving her the money there was nothing he could do but he would still look for some sort of solution to this situation. The downside is that he said he would charge 12% of whatever the loan is (which amounts to $6360 roughly) but that is IF he finds a solution or a loophole to get the money back legally.

So we're kind of in a huge pickle here because we need our money back ASAP but she is basically refusing to pay it. If there are any lawyers or even people with any experience in this situation on how to get the money back from friends/family please help us!

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Family friend borrowed a large sum of money from us. Is refusing to pay us back. We want to seek legal help but is almost impossible without proof of the loan. We need advice/help!
