Right to cut a long story short!

I got a wii fit fo myself from tsco just before xmas and i had mentioned to my boyfriends sister and she asked me to get one for her so she can give it to her son for his xmas and she would pay me back. which was fine so i manangd to source one for her online from jnh lewis and got it sent to her house in my name care of her name and her address and the invoice and the money came out my bank account.

So anyway right up until just start of jan it was fine she would pay me back until me and my partner had a disagreement with his mother which ended up her not speaking to me ever and she just speaking to him now due to fact she can get in touch with my daughter whos 2, but anyways i had text. emailed his sister asking when she would pay this wii fit money and the other monies for madagascar 2 for wii the postage of his psp that fixed for him an alll the ben 10 toys that he got for his brithday with is an additioanl 90 on top of the original 68 for the wii fit.

so shes not replied to txt or email changed her email and sent me oine msn mesage saying she would pay me the money back but ave not had or heard nothing.

So what can i do is ther anyway that i can get the wii fit back or paid for atleast and am not directly related to her
 
Take the store references out.

So in total it's like £200?

I think you just need to forget about it, a small claims court would be a wasted procedure for such a small amount of money. But if you really wnat to do this, get all the paper work from the places you bought the items, showing that YOU bought them, any evidence that you have that you agve them to her, any evidence that she agreed to pay you back, and any evidence that she still ahs not.

So receipts from where you purchased.
Emails between you and her.
Your bank statements.

Then head to a Citizens Advice Bureau.

BUT, if it was up to me i wouldn't use any legal system I'd try and talk to her through other family members, or ask other family members to get the money, or just use peer pressure and embarrassment of her not paying you back.

To use an legal system would be pointless.
 
shes 500 miles away norfolk area, and she wont listen to my bf as she dsnt listn to hr own mother either

i did leave a message on her face book which she delted after she got up cos she was annoyed that i posted on it how she asked me to get a wii fit for her son and games and display the totals and al her friends could see so so she tried to plaster my face book saying i was in the wrong and i had said to her wil pay for it then, but shes not spoke or said nothing since,

and her sons birthday is arpil and do i get him anything as she didnt bother to get my 2 yr old anything for her bday (jan09) when all the family did bar her

Falcon Punch her in the ovaries.

Seriously though just turn up at her door with a tear your eye. All will go well.

Edit- never noticed the 500 miles post, she just not replying to you at all? Get her to bank transfer when you get the chance to speak to her?
 
no reply or nothing. just the once after we fell out with his mum, and she said she would pay me back when she can be bothered
 
Make a fake legal letter asking for the full amount to be paid back in 28 days or legal proceedings will commence, might be enough to put the wind up her.
 
yeah but she would end up phoning the number or ignore it. dont think it would make her do anything as shes 30 and only 22 and she thinks shes above the law - limewire ect.

so where would i start with this letter lark

am not any good at english at all as you can see and not good as using big words

Eaither cut your losses and realise not to do this again, even consider have nothing to do with her (frankly I would, but then again I wouldn't have did what you have done in the first place).

Or, as above try putting on legal pressure or get other members of the family involved and push as hard as you can, the downside to this is that you could cause twice as many problems for yourself.

Your better off not getting into financial situations with your partners family. (to late to say now mind).

Sorry for your problems.
 
Why make it fake? Just write to her saying that you will take it further if the money isn't paid by a specific date and do so if she doesn't comply.
 
Obviously the first thing to learn from this is never buy her anything again, ever, no matter what she promises.

I would try calling her and speaking directly. If not mention it to your boyfriend and get him to put on pressure, you never know she might listen - no harm in trying right?

Alternativley there isn't a lot you can do other than get authorities involved or whatever, which I wouldn't do as it's "Family".

When there is a family gathering next, whenever it maybe, just walk upto her and have your £200 in flesh/ovary punching instead:D
 
It still get her son a token birthday present, and never lend her any money in the future, don't get her any B-Day/ Xmas presents until the total that you would have spent on said presents is equal to her debt, and then only token gifts from then on.

Not really much you can do, she's "Family" and its not really that much.
 
ave never met her and she not up in aberdeen often and i dont think there will ever be another family gathering that i will be invited to, let put it this way his mother is 62 and thinks i should be doing everything while her son sits on his arse and she was just looking for a fight when she came up, she went back home abroad after 5 days up here in aberdeen, i havent gotten on with her since the second time i met her (his mum) and i have never met any of his sisters
 
i have invoice, my mail.com clinet doesnt save outgoing mail, i should have a copy of her saying she would pay the money back but its on adimun on my mac osx but i dont have anything that was saved from msn from jan.
