I don't wana come across like a tight git here, but I have a friend who owes me 6k so far, I've had to bail him out many times and pay his rent and patch him up with 500 here and there.....now I don't mind helping but i also tried to give him advice abt how to get out of that mess...move out from that expensive area, sell your Rolex's (he has two) give back the Z4.....he's done none of if....and was gona pay me back 1000 every two months this year to get even. So far 750 in 5 months
Have you guys any advice on best way to approach this without ruining the friendship, I don't need the cash, but the principle behind it is that he pays me back for putting my wallet out there when no one would and saving his ass.
UPDATE, Rolex I repossessed (page 2) now sold for 4800. This plus the 750 I got means no big loss my way, rest of debt written off. He knows now he won't get my help if he needed a transplant.

protip, never lend anyone money.
if its family and they need something then always make it a gift.
problem solved
-
i learnt that loaning money always ends very ugly
cut your losses and end the friendship
good luck
-
I`d just nicely ask him if he still intended on paying me.
If I didn`t get the answer I required,I`d rip his fucking deadbeat head off,and shit down his neck!

I only lend money that I can do without if I dont get it back, if I think its going to be a problem if I dont get it back then I will not lend it I say no and make up an excuse.

never lend money, always give it.
You never get sore if they dont give it back.

50 bucks,yes,I`d cut my losses and tell him he bought me cheap,but 6 K,I`d have him killed from a distance.

realistically flipping out is gonna cost you more

this is very good advice
I dropped 2k on my mate about three years ago when he lost his job
I never mentioned it to him
he got his shit together this year and gave me it back
he said he couldn't believe how cool id been about it
my take is why worry yourself
if he is a proper mate he will pay you back when he can
if he isn't he wont
-
Why would you be friends with losers who have to borrow money in the first place?
You must be a tosser of the first order.
-
He's coming over later tonight for a PEP talk, I'm going to make sure this situation changes more so for his sake than me. Whether I get back my 6k or some of it or whatever happens happens.....but he needs to get his ahit together.
-
sneak into his bedroom at night and put a severed horse's head next to his face
-
Give him a deadline.
-
smash up his car at night
it will not get you your money back but
at least he will have a financial loss as well
and you get some satisfaction

I did that up to $15,000 USD. His step daughter died in a grisly car wreck and six month later his wife developed a brain tumor. He went to Amsterdam, rented an apartment that cost $175 USD a day. He went through every nickel he had, he had some fantasy about living in Amsterdam. I had to fly him back home, get him current in his house, and advance him small sums every few days for 6 months. He had promised that he would get a job in his field (computer cartography) and have me repaid in three months.
He ran to a hippy colony in Blanco Tx, turned his back on his house, ran from his 2 kids from his first marriage (his son is having a hell of a time trying to go to school). In short he, "went off the grid". He survived by taking odd jobs and house sitting for Shelly Duvall. (yes, the actress, for real). Every time I brought up the subject of the money, (every single time I saw him) he would exclaim, "no one here has any money." When I suggested he leave, get a real job just for the time it would take him to repay me, then return, he would exclaim, "But I fuckin' like it here."
He got involved with a methamphetamine crowd and five years later he died of an enlarged heart. (although not technically an overdose)

You are such a fuckn’ child…

Honest, caring people give a shit about paying back a debt. I would pay back money before I ate.
-
the guy is no friend(if even true story) he owes you 6k and he paid you 750 back in 5 moths and he won't sell one of his 2 expensive watches to pay some more off what he owes you. he is just taking you for a mug.

i had a friend who did something stupid and owed a large sum of money to people you dont want to owe money to.
he had 24 hours to come up w 48k. i was at the meet. it wasnt pretty.
i sold a harley i had 38k into for a fractional amount to cover what he was short.
he didnt pay me back for 2 years. finally i said, yo its time.
he paid me back and never spoke to me again.
i was the bad guy, can you believe that?
fuck him, and fuck friends like him.
they'll take and take and take, and you'll bail them out and bail them out and bail them out, but when it comes time to come correct, you'll always be the asshole.
so, best case scenario, be prepared to be the asshole who gets paid back and loses a 'friend'. and honestly brother, after this cut your losses that friendship. your not a friend, your an ATM and a get out of jail free/ support network for his fuck ups.

Dude,you should have slapped the ungrateful bastard.
What a fucking asshole....you`re far better off losing his "friendship".

LOL ;D

have a similar situation but nothing like the amounts mentioned here.
a lifelong friend owes me money for unpaid rent.
i let him live in my first home with no bond and he still never paid his rent and it cost me £600 replacing the flooring he ruined along with other damages.
money has ruined a lifelong friendship with a lad i thought the world off and like others have said im the bad guy im hearing that hes shouting his mouth off in pubs about how ive stoppe talking to him.
-
I gave Johnny Swift a pack of Polos at nursery school, he swore he would get me one back on the way home, he sneaked off down the back alley.
I never got it back.
Lesson learned early though.

At least he got the money back…physical reprisals would achieve nothing.

I know that,but it looks good on paper.
I will say that a few well placed baseball bats to the cranium,would result in a no repeat of said unpaid debt.
On a sidenote,I hate how these deadbeats flip the script and try to make the lender look like the villian just because they insisted on being paid back.
Where I come from,if you borrow cash,you pay it back or suffer the consequences.
-
A friend who doesn't pay you back is not a friend.
Next Question.

I hear ya` bud,it`s just too bad shit like this has to happen at all.
If you don`t have the cash,just make a payment plan with the guy you owe and stick to it. :(

i agree mate, i know if situation was reversed my no 1 priority would be to get the money repaid, its the least i could do after he was good enough to help me out

Did he turn it over to you willingly? If you "liberated" it, it could be awkward. Even with the debt.

im guessing the debtee has a drug problem and is shorter and smaller than you, its how it always works.

i would bet my password that the debtee is shorter that skorpio
you cant trust anyone under 5'11

Don't be friends with broke people. People that go broke are usual stupid and dumb people. Such stupid people have very little social intelligence and to survive they have to be devious.
I'll never ever trust a poor person. Nor would I have anything to do with them, least of all be in a position for them to owe me money.

You sound like a good friend.
What a dick, owns several rolexs and continues to live beyond his means while pretending he doesn't owe you anything. Hopefully Arce gets his shit together.

Here's the Rolex Date Just II, I took from him, will be going later to his house to fulfil other plans and pick up the box and paper work. So all in all I pretty much got a good chunk of my money back as this watch retails new between 6 and 7k.
(http://s13.postimg.org/v8rzhz0fr/IMG_20140409_WA0011_1.jpg)
Will be moving him out from his flat in Knightsbridge and he will move in with another friend near canary wharf with an on-suite, sell his other rolex and many of his unwanted items like mint condition burberry coats, Ermenegildo Zegna suits...etc on ebay , his car will be rented by some Arabs I know who come over in June from Kuwait til august (need to speak to them first) and a few other adjustments.
It was like an angry father to naughty son sort of pep talk, but i've known the guy since I was 11 yrs old, he used to earn a lot of money but now earns half....this still means he's on a 6 figure salary so no excuse, just need to be responsible and adjust.
-
He just whatsapped me (probably drunk) saying he wants his watch back and that he'll revert to our old agreement of 1k a month ;D
I sold it this afternoon :D

I loaned a friend $400 and he never paid me back. Have not talked to him in years. Thats not the reason why. But it was still dick of him to do.

I've loaned money out to friends... If I don't get it back after a certain amount of time, then I just cut them off... if my friendship is only worth a couple of hundred bucks or whatever, then I pretty much consider it money well worth spending to get rid of a bad friend.
-
My top 5 of dumbest decisions ever is heavily populated by "lending" money to deadbeats. One guy I gave €6k to paid pack just over €1k before getting busted stealing jewellery (€14k worth by burrowing through a wall of a jeweller with a drill). He's in jail still, going to beat shit out of him if I ever see him again.
If it's a small amount it generally evens out over time. Mate owed me for paying for a hotel room for him and some slut from 7 or 8 years ago. Was out with him a few months back and he more than covered it.
Lesson learned.

Agreed. Perhaps that is the reason why I stopped talking to him. That, or I got sick and tired of all his lies.
