When a 'friend' does a runner with your money

"Kinda sad someone is prepared to lose their friends over £600"

How exactly do you keep a friend after that? "Hahah, remember that time I lent you £600 and you never gave me it back buddy?! Hohoho"

I'd quite happily lose a friend like that. There's things I would have done differently to the op, namely going around to his house to have a catch up with them and see what the problem is a lot sooner but I'm sure he's done everything he thinks is reasonable.

Ultimately getting the £600 back would only be worth the effort if it was worth my time. I consider my time to be one of the more valuable things to me so I wouldn't be stressed about it and put in as little effort as required. With that in mind I'd be giving your friend as little time as possible.

I think he's referring to the one who received the money losing his friend over £600.

I also agree with the people who said he's clearly going through a hard time, I'd be angry and they certainly wouldn't be my friend anymore, but I wouldn't be trying to make things worse for them.

Because their houses get repo'd. You don't own the house until the mortgage is paid off, the bank/building society do. Hence you get the boot if you fail to pay.

Untrue.

You own the house, the mortgage lender holds a legal charge over it.

So I guess we should be seeing these people in prison after all if we apply your [incorrect] logic?

you got done big time. 600 isnt a small amount of cash, try your best to get it back.

To be fair in the grand scheme of things its nothing.

I'd just leave it, OP. £600 is a nice amount of money but it's not breaking the bank, live and learn, no lending money out in the future.

All I'll say here, to re-enforce my point before is you have two options, letting it go or getting even, from what Tank said, you can punch him in the mouth and get done for assault (if he goes to the police) or just write it off. Just make sure you are happy with a criminal record for 600quid.

If send him a text along the lines of

'so im getting the impression you cant pay me back, could you at least give me a call back and discuss the situation and if i have to wait then give me some idea of how long, ******* off with the money and ignoring my texts is not really on'

While it still gives the impression your not pleased, it also establishes your not actually going to dismember him or just give him an earful if he speaks to you. Hopefully you can take it from there and come to some arrangement, if he's any sort of mate he will feel pretty crappy for having taken your money and probably doesnt want to face you until he has it back, ofc he could just have turned into a complete ******* and decided to do one with your cash

Essentially id be trying to find out if he borrowed the money in good faith that he could pay you back or not before taking it further
