I was on facebook last night and one post got my attention. Its from a friend who is asking another friend , a close friend of mine to check her messages because she sent one .
It turned out that through this friends post, this close friend of mine owed her an amount money and this close friend is ignoring her when she asked for payment. I havent talked to this close friend since covid began , she's married and have kids and a couple of businesses.
This friend who posted on facebook told me that my close friend even issuedto her a cheque to pay only to find out it was a closed account.
Im shocked I didnt know my close friend would do that. I want to help both to settle things out but we cant contact my close friend . Im so sad really for her ..

Who are you most sad for?
Never a lender or a borrower be.
Not under any circumstance at all.
It's not healthy for friendships.

Thats a good question. To be honest I am sad for both of them. They can settle the problem privately and not resort to posting it online .But it was posted and now both of them are the talk of the town.

Nah
The one who loaned the money will have learned a valuable lesson.
If she hadn't loaned the money none of this would have happened

You have a point there but I cant blame the friend who lend the money. My close friend came up to her asking for help , she ( the friend who lend the money) was not lending anything from anybody to be honest but out of friendship I guess she did that not thinking that its pandemic and its hard to bounce back financially specially our economic situation here is mostly affected because of the lockdowns.

Money talks where its go! Though its own money, still its change its ownership whenever handover. Therefore, keep proof when transacting money :)

That's correct! I used to work in our family business, a lending institution and Im the loans officer . I check all the requirements first if there is an application for a loan. There should be collateral also for safety purposes of the company , an assurance.

The pandemic really wrecked a lot of us specially businesses. My close friend used the money she borrowed to support her business and she did not know what will happen next.

Hello welcome to myLot 
Yes I know both personally and there might have been a reason why she borrowed money , and I cant blame the other friend too to make a move to get her money back because she helped her .

Could be a scam, best to stay out of it if you can. Not worth it.

This is quite a difficult matter, especially since you know both people. I don't think you should get involved in this because you won't get well later. Usually, third parties in such situations fail badly. Unfortunately, this is the sad truth. Besides, you are not responsible for your friends' finances.

Yes I understand that I should not get involved with the problem and the only thing I can do is to talk to my friend only , to suggest wjat should be done and that is the limit only.Thats how far I can help her.

I don't think you have any responsibility for your friend, moreover it's a personal matter for him, you are a good friend
don't think too much
