If a friend owes me money, how do I get it back?
If you have no contract, there is not much you can do legally. You may try small claims court, but it may digress to you said / he said.Even though an oral contract is binding in some states, the fact is that it is only binding if the judge believes you.In any case, save ALL emails and ALL text messages—especially the ones that say, “Ah, dude, I’m realy hard up, but I’ll give you something next week.”if nothing else, learn the life lesson that friends are not good credit risks. Banks usually recognize this fact, and that is why he hit you up for money.If you are talking about $100 right it off as a gift, because it is not worth the hassle. That might seem like a lot, but you have to go through so much leg work before it even gets in front of a judge, that it won’t be worth the trouble.Now, if you are talking about a whole lot of money—more money than a small claims court handles—you might consider seeing an attorney, but even that can get sketchy if you don’t have any proof to back yourself up.A former friend of mine borrowed $15k from another friend of mine in order to make a downpayment on a house, so that the bank would give him a loan. When it came time that the guy was to start paying back the friendly loan, this former friend tells him, “Oh, no! I thought it was a gift. I never would have accepted it, if it was a loan.” He lost a lot of friends, but the friend that loaned him the money never saw so much a a penny paid back.
Should I sue my mom for money she owes me?
Around black friday, my mom took me with her to go TV shopping. At the time, I thought I was just going to help her pick out a TV and carry it home, but when we were at the cashier she coaxed me into opening a Sears credit card and charging the $1500 tv to it. She said she would pay me back $100 or so every week and be sure to pay me back everything by june. It's now the end of may and I haven't seen any of my money. In fact, she keeps asking me for more because she keeps gambling away her car payments, but I refuse to loan her any which makes her mad. Right now I'm a college student living at home and using student loans to pay because my parents won't help me and I get nothing from financial aid. The money I used to pay for the tv was also from my student loans. I'm moving out for next school year and I need the money, but she says she doesn't have any (but she continues to gamble at casinos). Should I just sue her for the $1500? I'm hesitant to because my entire family will hate me, but 1500 is a lot to a college student and I don't think she should have exploited me and made me buy a tv she doesn't need.
How shall I remind my friend about the money she owes me? She is a close friend, so I can't ask directly. What shall I do?
IMO, friendships should not be broken unnecessarily for money. So ask assertively. You don’t need to explain why u need the money back or make excuses, just ask for it and receive the response. Assertiveness can get you out of many situations. Here is a link to some tips on how to ask or talk assertively.How to Be AssertiveShe may have simply forgotten and needs a clear, straightforwards reminder. If she has any more complex issues which affecting her ability to do so then, if you determine that she genuinely needs that help to pay you back. you could help her to find a way to pay you back (E.g. something like giving her ideas, help with applications)However if you know or determine that she has the amount of money in her possession at any point in time between the time you borrowed her the money or that she seems reluctant and uninterested, then you are cool to ask the parents politely or just write it off.In any case, be assertive in the questions you ask and statements you make.
My daughter's boyfriend owes me money?
It sounds like he took advantage of your trust. There is nothing you can really do except take him to small claims court, and I'm guessing the amount may not be worth that much trouble.
