My brother owes me money and refuses to pay it back,what are my options?
I don't think you should take him to court, depending on how much proof you have that he owes you the money, you might not win. Suing a family member is really sad and even though he owes it to you and should not take advantage of that love, your relationship is not worth that money. He should be thinking the same way and should want to pay you back. It sounds like you will need to make this easy for him. I don't know if he would get an extra part time job for a couple of months so he can pay you back ASAP and get rid of that debt. If you were willing to make compromise and think he might not pay you back suggest halving the money he owes you and have him pay you $100 a month for 10 months and then get him to help you out with other things you might need (like you did for moving). Get him to do yard work if you have a yard, have him wash your windows or shampoo your carpet. It is difficult to know what will work but you will have better luck by giving him a lot of options.
Drama: brother in law owes me a lot of money. But can't pay me back; none of it?
My brother in law is a recovering alcoholic. Before all this we would let him barrow money my husband and I. It went from 20 bucks to 50 to 100 to buying him a phone to paying his food etc. In his time of need we were all there. His wife Hates me but she has no idea that he has been cheating on her for a while now. He used our car and money to take this girl out. Later on we found that out. We let him barrow 140 to get a car out of the mechanic. He later sold this car for 500. We haven't seen any of our money. He owes a lot of people money especially for a weeding that never happened on his behave. And more then 1000 he owes us. Now I'm in desperate need to pay my daughters medical bills. My husband asked him if we can have our share of the money that he got from the car. He said he spent it on his DUI legal issues jail, classes ,fines etc. That he is so finacially in debt that he can't give us anything at all. 1 week later we find out that his wife is pregnant. If you can't afford to pay someone 140 that you've owed for over a year. Not jncuding my 1000 why the he'll would you bring another child into this world? Am I wrong to feel this way? We always had to help this guy out because he's my husbands brother. But now that we need help we get nothing. Should I feel this way?
Afraid to ask brother for a loan...?
I didn't add the fact that I'm a single mom of 3 who's on disability and has made ends meet with little help from their father. And yes, I am in the process of coming up with a better budget with my money which is difficult in my situation and receiving sporadic child support. I appreciate most of the advice but I think some of you just enjoy being mean for some bizzare reason. save it.
How can I stop loaning my parents money?
--Sometimes you gotta lie. Just buck up and say no. After a certain point of giving, and lending, and giving, and lending and you get nothing back then its time to stop doing it. Every blue moon is ok if its your parents but all the time is unacceptable. They are costing you more money then you think, ontop of borrowing it they are using your car, that puts alot of ware and tear on it which makes you need a new car soon, or repair it if something happens and oil changes etc. One way to go about it without seeming like a dick is to just straight up tell them, Sorry Im broke. Get in a habit of this. even if you have 2,000 in the bank, or 20,000 in the bank. when they said HEY MAN CAN I BORROW 20.00...Just tell them sorry I only have 15 bucks and i need it to get me through the week. They dont need to know anything else. and then if they try o please ill pay you back etc, say sorry like i said im broke. and leave it at that
What do you do when a family member asks to borrow money?
According to me, I don't borrow people money I rather give if have to give or support!But honestly nothing is wrong to borrow your family members money to set themselves up, but you have to put so many things in consideration, will the money you are to borrow your family member not going to be a stumbling block to your relationship?This things are very vital to look at before you think of borrowing someone your money!As for me, I love to protect my relationship with others and anything that may result to conflicts between us , I keep away!I dont know how to ask people for money and if the person is unable to pay I wouldn't like to be pest on the person when I likewise need the money! Not everyone you borrow money would understand your need for your money and they could take it personal!So in this reasoning , I have learnt to do away with borrowing people things I would rather give people money and I know I expect nothing in returns from them than borrow them!If perhaps I can meet up with their offer of money they requested to borrow, I could give them part of the money to support if I have.If it is emergency that does with life, exam anything very reasonable and convincing, if I have I can sacrifice almost what I have to assist not all!I think wisdom is prominent!Hope this blessed?I don't borrow people money as a principle at the motive to protect my relationship with people. But it could definitely work for others!Thank you.
Brother wants to borrow my car but not ok with it?
How come he needs about three thousand bucks for a driver's license? In your state, can't he just get a learner's permit and pass a written test and a road test? You're perfectly justified in refusing to lend him your car if he doesn't have a license to drive. A few repairs, some bucks toward car insurance, and a few gallons of gas don't give him any privileges. You'll probably have to pay for all those things yourself from now on, however. You could be nice, and have him give you some money and a list the next time you go grocery shopping yourself. Just don't let him get behind the wheel, and keep your keys where he can't glom onto them.
