How much is your friendship w$rth?

Gilly said:
A gimp I used to call a friend (was at school and college with him, got him a job, etc) still owes me the best part of a grand. he still works in the same building as me but of course I never see him. he paid me back ~£40 of it once. That was all I saw of it.

Last time I saw him he was with his girlfriend. She was showing off about the amount they'd spent that week on their brand new furniture for their house. I mentioned the money he owed me and somehow she ended up trying to have a go at me saying I should let it go for a mate!

Some mate. She ended up feeling the blunt end of my annoyance.

Some people are just like that Gilly mate. Although, the money he owes you is a lot! This is where the simple rules comes into practice: Never lend or borrow money from friends or family. In the end, losing relationships is never worth it over money.

Ask him if you can borrow some money, then never pay it back. When he asks for it say "U should let it go for a mate!" :)

There is always small claims court!
 
Wheres Old Turkey when you need him? :)

Definitely sounds weird...why not just text you saying 'I have some of the money you owe me'? Tell her you're really busy, but she can pop it in an envelope and put it through your letter box thank you very much!
 
She's full of crap. She wouldn't be angry if that was the case.

I'd tell her that no thanks, you aren't a playboy and don't need to offer your services for cash.

Silly Girl.

Maybe its pride on my part but for her to send that means she wanted you to get in touch and didnt....so shes trying to make you wish you had. So i'd leave her with the £400 and hope she doesnt get in touch.........you already wrote it off by thinking you wouldnt get it back.........so write it off and stay moved on. Let her deal with her issues now :)

I think if you go back for the cash now you will only end up in arguments/debates/situations that you didnt want to be in.

Hmm..

If it were me, i'd get the money and run :p £400 is a lot to me! Should be to anyone really.

There's a difference between ignoring someone and wasting money.

I'm tempted to think she may have already got what she wanted. You said it yourself .... you're irritated. She's got to you.

Pinkpig summed up my feelings perfectly.

If she wanted to give you £400 she owed you, she'd just write a cheque. She's trying to be awkward in one way or another.

You've ignored her. She's trying to make you pay for that. If you REALLY need the money, swallow your pride and go after it. But my bet would be that her tune will now be ..."well, it's too late nbow, I've spent it". But she'll probably try to make you jump thorugh a hoop or two before she comes out with that.

MY response would be "It's over, and I don't want to see you, not even for £400. If you were really trying to honour your debts, you'd just pay the money you own without trying to put conditions on it. I don't believe you had any intention of paying the £400, and I'm not meeting up just to be told that. If you want to pay what you owe, please just send a cheque".

But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

Personally I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of replying at all :)

Things like this are why I never give out money to anyone. She's almost certainly attention seeking, so don't go chasing her. Send one simple text, as has been suggested, either asking for a cheque or with your sort code and account number and where to find a branch to pay the money in.
