You can't sue without a written contract for him to repay you. All the evidence will be circumstantial. All he has to do is say that it was his money and that you didn't loan it to him, and it'll be your word against his, which won't work in a courtroom.

Nope, verbal contracts are binding under $300, I believe.

Finally I find some class on these websites. My question is, how tough is he?

If you really wanna make out well with this you have to use a sword and disembowel him. That'll get him to think twice before stifing you again. Violence is ALWAYS the solution. ;) You could also make away with most of his stuff for a little extra payback.

he he he my creative writing teacher sent me to the school shrink for being "creative"

Heck, I didn't even notice. Option # 3 sounds good, theoretically speaking of course. Because we all know we would never do something like that in real life ;).

And the moral is, don't loan money out, its a bad idea. Unless you are a bondsman, in which case you get to play bounty hunter if they skip on you.

Simple.

Offer to take him out drinking. Run a tab. When the total gets to about what he owes you, excuse yourself "to go to the bathroom", and tell the waitress on your way out of the pub that your friend is covering it.....


The pluses:

He has to pay up the amount he owes, might get nailed for vagrancy, and if you are lucky also gets smacked upside the head by a large bouncer... without any damage to the CD player or assault charges on you. Also, you have a nice night out.


The minus:

The pub gets the money instead of you.


The lesson:

Don't lend friends money with the expectation of having it returned unless you are prepared to lose them as friends. If you DO loan friends money, do it with the mindset that it is really a gift and that if that gift is reciprocated in the future - that would be nice, but is not really neccessary.

Yes, they're binding, but the trick is proving that one was made. Unless there are witnesses, it'll end up being thrown out for lack of proof. But thanks for pointing that out! :)

I like option one. Why beat the crap outta him with the cd player, then you'd have to go and buy a new one.

Anyway, a real friend wouldn't hold out on you like that, and keeping it can be callled stealing.....So kick the shit out of him. If he's tougher, remember some weak points: solar plexus (that spot in between your ribs, just above the stomach, just don't hit to hard, you can cause internal bleeding and kill the bastard in a matter of minutes) and the temples (that can make him dizzy enough to pass out or not able to think) and naturally, the groin, and when he's down, keep kicking....Brutal, but you will get your point across, and a lot of stress out of ya :D
