One month ago I lent £500 to a (so I believed) friend in financial distress.He said I'd have it back in one week.I owed him a big favour and I would never imagine he'd ever cheat me, so I accepted.
One month has passed and he's been making up all sorts of excuses, including 'My housemate didn't get paid yet', 'I wasn't able to work for three days', 'I lost my bank card', 'My dad was supposed to come and give me money but he didn't because of the weather' and lies of the same sort.
Every time we had arranged to meet for him to pay back at least part of the debt, he never showed up and didn't pick up my calls.
Last night I've been knocking on his door and although he was obviously in he didn't come to open.
Now,I don't think he's a cheat.He is just a ******* idiot with his money that bloody deserves to be broke.
As soon as this thing is settled I will severe all connections with him.
But first I need my cash back.
Before I threaten him with a solicitor, is there any advice you can give?
