The person who owe me money is a friend or like a big sister. I had helped her transfer her credit card balance to mine so that she can avoid extream finance charges she was getting. She only made the minimum payment to that/my credit card after she transfered $3500. I had especially applied for a credit card then just so that she could transfer her balance. And I didn't even use a penny from that card.
But almost a year ago I paid all of that balance cuz I realized it was affecting my credit history since she was missing on payments & got couple of late fees & also she was only paying the minimum payments & nothing extra.
Then I told her that I paid them off & now she can pay me directly at her convinience. She was happy & glad that I helped her out & agreed to pay me directly. But now it's almost a year & I haven't received a penny.
So the question is how do I remind her politely that she owed me money & pay me atleast something, I would'nt even mind if its just $50 or $100 a month!?

I understand involving money is any kind of relationship is not good. But I couldn't help it cuz she knew I could help & she desperately needed help. She looked very helpless & almost broke down.

Call her and say I would like to know when is a good time to come by your place and chat about the credit card issue. She will know what you mean and be prepared for a payment plan hopefully.

Sometimes just asking and making a joke out of paying up, usually reminds them and it works. If it doesn't, just sit them down and try to discuss these payments or ur gonna be out of lots of money!!

well,this is really sad,i guess you need to be clear n straight and tell her that right now you are in need of money and so it'll be really nice if she can return your money.....
but i would like to tell you one thing,you should never get money involved between any relationships,it spoils relations,trust me now whats happg?she is not returning and you don't like to ask...if ever you help any one monetarily,you should forget abt that money than!!

Forget being polite, she's had almost a year to pay you back and hasn't. Time to get demanding.

never loan money to ANYONE! This is how it always ends up. Your friend is very irresponsibe and you will have to come right out and tell her that you need it.
