Am on I.T, and you know how little they pay I.T student. I actually lend someone money last year and he promised to return it the following week, but failed to do so. The problem now is that, he doesn't pick my calls anymore, and if he picks, he always has one lame excuse or the other to give, or he always promise to return it but still fail to do so . I have threatened him, I have been nice to him, all to no avail. He refuse to return my money, I don't know what else to do, because I need the money.
Pls has anyone lend someone money before. How did you get it back, or what did you do? Pls ur advice will be appreciated. thanks

my sister what is the amount he owes you.

It's a two way ride;
He gives you back willingly or you make him legally.

Its risky to borrow someone money,even your best friend..cos they always find it difficult to pay back..talkn frm experience

Is he ur bf? I have my reasons

Mhm now that doesn't sound romantic at all.

It's important to state how much the guy owes you,as well as the relationship between the both of you.
You can make him pay by going the legal way.

Next time, don't borrow people money you cannot let go, if they don't pay.
You have no idea how people can kill because they are being hounded to pay their debt.

@stingy, he is not my boyfriend, @babe2sure, we have no relationship, @cholls and @ wonderland, the amount is 20,000, thou is not too much, but I need it, cos it will help settle some school bills like textbooks or handouts, now that am going back to school . Personally, I dnt really knw him, I had no relationship with him or whatsoever, I just know him at the place where I do my I.T, he had a contract with my boss then, we became work frnds, until he came running to me and told me about his problem, and begged me to help him which I did out of pity, he promised to return it the following week, but he never did, and the contract he has with my boss is Over. I didn't know the address of his house or shop, and I regret that now, cos had it been I knw his address, I would have paid him an ugly visit to his shop.

And now he doesn't pick my calls anymore, he always has one excuse or the other, am going back to school by January, and av told him, he is still promising and failing, that's why I need an idea of what to do from anyone, Pls it will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I know it has been a long time but I wanna ask if he has paid you. Just curious.

No he hasn't, I called him and he Started giving me lame excuse, he even begged me, to exercise more patience, am even fed up.. I don't know what else to do, or how to make him pay, and am no more on the same state with him, av gone back to school..

Some men/humans tho. Have you tried telling your former boss whom you both worked with?

Maybe you should just let it go if you can, I know this might be difficult as I am in such a situation myself, so I know how it feels.

well am trying as much as possible to let it go... but If I ever see him again in life he would regret it...
