What would you do if your friends didn’t give back what they borrowed from you?
That depends on what it is that they borrowed and how much it is worth to me. You see: Often people forget that they borrowed something from you. Especially if you're not asking for it for a longer period of time. It's no bad will from their side. They might just be a bit careless or thoughtless or just plain forgetful. It happens all the time. It might even have happened to you. ;)Those of your friends who value proper conduct greatly will bring back anything in due time. You'll never have to ask them.But some of your friends might be a bit negligent. Then it is your duty to remind them that you want it back. If they won't give it back to you after several times of due notice, then it will be for you to decide how to react to this. If it is something dear to me, then I would visit them at their place and lay my hands on it, declaring that I'm taking it back NOW. If that person knows what's good for her she will not stand in my way. S/he will thank me for having lent me this and let me go with gratitude. If the person thinks she can prevent me from going away with my stuff, then that person will have to give me very good reasons for that and beg me dearly -otherwise I will just move on out. Usually I expect some gratitude after having borrowed something to someone else. If I perceive that such gratitude is not expressed then I can properly conclude that this "friend" is NOT a real friend but someone who has used my acquaintance as an advantage to him/herself. THAT would then be the reason for me to expel him/her out of my universe and not think of him/her as my friend anymore.

How do I get friends to pay me back the money I loaned them?
I have long had the personal policy of never lending money to friends. When it is not paid back, or not paid back on schedule, it can harm and even destroy a friendship.Not too long ago, I loaned some money to a friend who was moving. I know I was breaking my rule about loaning, thereby putting my own money and my friendship at risk.It was supposed to be paid back in a week. After some nagging, I got back half after three months. I could have let the balance slide. But as a friend, I continued to gently ask for the money. Why? It was important that my friend stay in integrity. But not paying back the money, by being let off the hook, my friend, and thus our relationship, would be out of integrity. Eventually the balance was repaid, and we have maintained our friendship. Being in integrity with all of your relationships, be they personal or professional, is incredibly important. As the loaner to the recipient, you have the opportunity and obligation to keep that relationship in integrity. It is a growth opportunity for both parties.And yes, I am back to my no-loan policy... Edit: another answer suggested that someone who doesn't pay back a loan be dismissed as not a real friend. Well, we all have our gifts and flaws. This friend I loaned to is always the first person to volunteer to help move or carry something heavy or get up early to assist. I wouldn't so casually dismiss a long friendship due to a loan. Instead, look at where you can take responsibility for creating the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
My friend won't give me back my money?
If you dont want to fall out with her then the best thing to do is let her keep the money but do not ever lend her money again. If she asks, you say no and bring up the money she already owes you and tell her how you cannot trust her to borrow more. Do not fall into the trap of her saying she will pay you original money back if you lend her more. Just stick to your word and say NO. If shes a true friend thats worth having she will respect you and leave it at that. If you really want your money back and your not afraid to fall out with her over it you simply tell her you want the money back, youve been more than patient with her and waited much longer than she originally promised and if she doesnt want to repay you then tell her not to contact you again. She then has two choices. she either repays the money or she doesnt and looses her friend in which case she is not a real friend and your better off without her.

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.
How do I get my money back from an old friend?
He's not a friend anymore. Hire some thugs to persuade him or else he knows what's coming to him. Money coming into play usually turns brings out the worst in people when trying to get it back.
How can I ask for my money back from a friend without being rude?
It's not rude to ask a friend to settle a debt. Use polite language, don't be accusatory and let them know that you appreciate their friendship."I feel uncomfortable about our outstanding debt, and I don't want it to become an issue. Would it be possible to settle it soon? Thanks for understanding."That's particularly soft (especially "our debt") but fairly firm. You can choose to be more direct without being rude: "Remember that $X I lent you for Y? I don't mean to nag, but I could really use it back."
