what will you do if someone does not pay you your money??

Well, my little brother. It seems that you can forget about that money. The most important thing that you have to remember, NEVER EVER LEND FRIENDS MONEY. Money and friendship does not go hand in hand in todays life. I am sorry to give you this bad news. Should i come over and slap him silly?

hi! Oh it's hard especially when it's your friend, right? Of course if he's you friend, you can ask him nicely. Tell him you also needed money and because of that he needs to pay his debt from you. Just be consistent, I know he'll realize how kind person you are and eventually he'll pay you back. just wait BUT keeps on telling him. hehe :)

Well having gone thru an identical situation when I was much younger, I don't lend money to friends unless I am willing to never get it back. Alot of it would depend on how much money. If I gave someone say $5.00 US money then I'd likely let it go if the friendship meant alot to me. I'd forgive it but not forget it so never would I loan them money again. If it was a much higher amount, then maybe you could ask for the money in payments. So if you say loaned them $100 they could pay you say $5 a week. YES, it would take so much longer to get it back but you would perhaps be more likely to at least get a few payments. I am sure it would put a huge strain on the friendship since they are in effect lying to you every time they say they need more time. That's why I now won't loan money anymore. When I was younger I loaned a friend about $300 to move into an apt, never got the money back and lost a friend too! If I sense someone is going to ask for a loan then I nip it in the bud by bringing up some financial issue saying it sure is hard to keep up with our bills lately. That way they haven't asked me and I have given them a clear signal not to ask. Good Luck!!! Be well!

Well, I learned early on in life that you can't lend someone money if you are counting on it for any reason. Therefore, I don't have to deal with this anymore because I don't lend money to another person. That said, I don't know how much money you loaned to the person, but if it is enough and if you are willing to lose a friendship over it, you could always take the person to court to get your money back.

Hi abhi, money never makes friends. :( If you want to give money to a friend, you should give it for good. If you want to give money for business, always have a promissory note prepared. Each promissory note is valid for 3 years only! So taking a cheque without date for the amount would also be worthwhile. As per Indian Penal Code, a dishonored cheque is punishable with rigorous imprisonment. Hope you've learnt your lesson from this.

It would depend on the amount. If it was sizable I would take him to small claims court. If it was walking around money. I would just forget it and chalk it up to experience.

Actually, I am in that situation right now, as my daughter owes me a lot of money as I used my credit card to move her here where I am at, and one year later she left as my son in law wanted to go back and live colse to his parents. Needless to say, I am not happy with her, as she has promised to pay me but hasn't. Right now, my son in law is part time at work, and she saiys that once he goes full time, then she will pay me back. I am certainly not going to hold my breath that is for sure. I was hoping she would start paying me once he started working, but she didn't and now I am struggling to get the credit card paid off. I just hope hse grows up and pays me like she said she would. I am just going to keep after her to make sure I get it, as it is very uubstantial amount and I need it desperately. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
