A friend of mine took Rs 50000 from me few months back. He promised me that he will give it back once his salary gets credited. Its almost 8-9 months over now but he shows no signs of giving my money back. Everytime I spk to him he gives me a reason or some other excuse.Now he has stopped taking my call.If I send him a message he says he is out of station. How do I get my money back from him? Some friends are really pathetic and disgusting. I feel like kicking him on his back.

I think you should using harder way. Your friend is obviously show bad attitude and unwilling to pay back your money. I think he also did the same thing to other people. Perhaps you are not the only one victim. Before you use harder way, just give him a last chance. Hear his promise for the very last time. Ask him when actually he want to pay back your money. Ask for a sure date, not only an estimate time. And say that you'll report him to the police if he don't pay at that day. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

Ops! I think if I was you, I would notice that I will not get back these money back anymore! Straight away go to that person house without any notice of him. If you call him or ask from him, for sure the result is 0. You should be fiercer otherwise you will not get any cent back. I am here to pray for you. Good Luck!

yeah i know the feeling!!your friend is taking you for granted and is not acting like a good friend should... Atleast next time he asks for money, you know what to do. Is there any proof that you have to show that he took money from you? If yes, then use it... else go upto him and be very stern to him and ask him to return your money. tell him that he is breaking the trust you kept on him for a mere 50000 rupees.

When you lend money no matter who too and you really want the money back you should have written a "promissory note" with both of you signing it with an agreement of when the money will be paid back. Then when he didn't pay it back, you could take him to court. I really can't stand people who take total advantage of others. As far as I see it he is not a real friend at all just a user.

In fact he is not your friend at all, he is a cheater. I also got the same experience. A guy promised me to get married with me. He took some money with me to buy a new house for both of us. Now he is refusing to talk to me and to reply my calls. So I went to the police station and filed a case against him. I think it is the best solution, as I told you he is no more your friend now. do not fear the inknown if he is guilty he must be punished. Hope you get your money back.

I feel so sorry to hear that. I will suggest you to stay calm, and dont ever ruin your day thinking that you can't get bet back your money. Just think that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. hehehe.. I think that kind of person is everywhere! I had also similar experience. I kept trying to get my money back but in the end i realized its not worth my efforts. I keep spending more money for the call, messages, transportation expenses just to keep in touch with her and when i all all the expenses it's close to the amount the she owe to me. Hahahah! Lets just pray for that kind of people... they may not aware that they are committing sin with deceiving people ( not paying a debt like what he/she promise is a kind of deception ).

I'm sorry to hear that. Hmm, report him to the police, perhaps? I really don't know.. That's the huge disadvantage on lending your friend some money because there is always a huge tendency that money will be the root of your destroyed friendship. Money is the root of all evil.. right? That's why when I make friends, I always make sure that money won't have anything to do with the two of us. It can destroy your beautiful friendship.

I think you should have chosen your friends more carefully. On the other hand i could have thought that he still wasn't able to afford it back, but then he should have responded your calls. You are conned in a way, sorry for that. Try to contact his friends, if you know some of them and let them know about the situation. They can support you on this and help you put pressure on him. He can even be embarrassed about this.

I'm sorry to hear that. It just goes to show who is a true friend and who isn't. My parents always said to me, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be", and I agree with that - it's the best way to avoid all sorts of trouble. Hope you manage to resolve this situation.
