Broken Promise / myLot

December 15, 2016 5:31am CST

When someone borrowed money from you and promised to pay at a certain time but failed to do so,how would you feel? Three months back,I lent money to a friend who needed a capital for her business.She promised to pay me installment in four months. I refused to give interest eventhough she suggested it. Unfortunately,she failed to pay as she promised. But she has posted new appliance on facebook.

I think the problem came about because you refused to take interest, you should have - even if it was very small. That would make the transaction more business like , otherwise she would fool herself into thinking that you don't really care to get it back.

This is so annoying, especially when you know they could have paid you back. I think that if you ever lend money you should have an expectation that you will never get it back, even if this person is someone you trust dearly. I really think that money issues bring out the worst in some people.

I would just ask her outright for the money. They do say that the easiest way to lose a friend is to lend them money - they'll avoid you from then on.

I have told her already in the first week of this month that I will need the money.She was supposed to pay installment from September.
