This unfortunately is just life. Do not loan anyone money or housing or food or anything else that you can't afford to lose, because you will be disappointed this way. Next time you get into a deal like this, have the other party sign an agreement (at least you will have it in writing). That won't get you paid, but it will make it easier to pursue should you choose. You will find that it is best to avoid these situations entirely.
Now, that said, you could send him a bill (do this on your computer - make it neat, and then print him a copy). Mail it to him and be specific what the charges are for (dates of the stay, etc). Give him a phone number to call to discuss it. Mail by registered mail requiring an acceptance signature. If he does not respond by phone, send another letter the next month (same rules). He may just get tired of it and pay up. If he doesn't pay up, you will have a little documentation to rest charges on. I don't know how much we are talking about here, but it may be better to just chalk it up to experience, and be smarter next time. I have had to do that a few times as lessons learned. Good luck with your problem - hey, at least you don't still have the moocher living with you. |

Not really but Judge Judy sometimes awards people like you money going on the fact that there was a verbal agreement. Maybe you could try small claims court? Probably once he gets a letter through he'll pay up anyway. Some friend.... |

Without a legally binding contract you may not stand much chance. Maybe small claims court but that might cost you moer than he owes you.
I suggest you pay someone to break his legs and deliver the message that way... much cheaper and you get some satisfaction out of it. |

One valuable lesson here, don't do business with friends. I learnt this a few years ago when I let my step-brother rent a room at my house, he thought that he could have a free ride. I ended up throwing the little sponger out, I haven't got any money back, although I get a lot of satisfaction out of the fact that he now lives mainly in hostels, nine years after it happened. |

I think you can probably kiss it goodbye.But look at the brightside.If its only a few hundred quid its a cheap way of finding out that he is an asshole. |

Verbal contract is binding - just impossible to prove.
Your best hope is ADR in a small claims court.
Get free legal advice from court clark at your local court.
DONT ATEMPT REVENGE UNTILL COURT SETTLED! |

Phone the Judge Judy show - sue this "blood sucker" and don't ever call him a "friend" again. Friends don't treat their friends that way. He has forgotten how you helped him out, his words of repayment. I'm glad you kept the "piece of cardboard". That is excellent, don't make a computer copy - then all Judges think you have "just made it up" - use the one you have as "evidence" and Don't write over it. On a separate ppiecece of paper, make the notes reflex dates,events,(ie food,pocket money,gas money) and don't forget the "hydro/gas/food/phone/cable/)bills, and show a portion that is His agreement. Now send him a Registered Letter, (retain copy) - in that letter, give him ONE last opportunity to Fulfil his verbal commitment to you. Give him 15-days in the letter, and tell him your next step is to seek damages in Landlord/Tenant Court. (not small claims,too hard to win on this)Do as I have suggested, if that fails, come back to Yahoo!Answers and I will explain how to take the next step. Good Luck. |

you could try small claims court. Phone a lawyer in the phone book and see if they can give you some free advice. Good luck |

If you have nothing in writing and signed by him you do not have a legal leg to stand on. |

Despite what people say there is no 'small claims court' in the UK, you will have to go to your local county court and sue them there. If you've never done it before ask one of the court clerks to help you out, they're usually really helpfull and friendly - certainly were when i did it.
Failing that give me his address, for 10% i'll have the money within a week - guaranteed ;) |

probably not much, depending on the amount you might consider an attorney or just chalk it up to a lesson learned. one thing for sure this 'friend' of your is no friend and you can count on the fact that in the next year he will have problems again and come to you for help. keep the cardboard sign, give it to him then and say 'no way am i helping you again' and close the door. he isn't a friend he's a user and the only way he can use you is if you let him. |

Sorry that seems to be common experience with relatives and friends. There is a lesson for you to learn from this, and for now it may be best to forgive and forget. Consider it a good turn done for a friend, even if he now turns into an enemy. If he ever decides to pay you in the future accept it gratefully. That however will have to be his decision. Only lend money that you can afford to loose, and if you do someone a favor as you did for your friend, consider it a good deed, that may be returned, by him or others to you at some time of your own need. God bless you |

Take him to small claims court in your town/city. |

Probably only chance you have is taking him through the small claims court, a verbal contract is still binding for tenants / landlords but obviously almost impossible to prove.
Suggest you talk to a solicitor (some will provide a free 15 minute consultation), or you could try a citizens advice centre.
The small claims process is not expensive and if he receives a summons it may well be enough to make him pay up. |

How much money are we talking about? If it's a substantial amount, you might (*MIGHT*) have a chance in small claims court. It will be a he-said he-said sort of deal, but if you have your facts straight the judge might be able to determine the facts of the situation and rule in your favor. Of course, that route is a huge headache, and may not be worth it depending on how much your ex-friend actually owes you.
If it's not a substantial amount of money, you might just have to chalk it up to a tough lesson learned: Never lend friends money. And if you do, get the repayment terms in writing and signed by the both of you.
Good luck. |

I ahd the same thing happen to me! I reckon she owed me about a hundred quid when she left, where I'd lent her a fiver here and there, or picked her something up.
I asked her for it back and she said she would pay it, then slowly disappeared from my life. It's horrible to be used but sadly that's what has happened. Your friend has looked at his money, looked at you and chosen the money as the more valuable to him, if you want my advice ignore him, you don't need a mate like that anyway, and if you don't push him maybe he will come to his senses and do the right thing. |

its going to be difficult since you didn't get anything in writing but you could do a notarized letter with the amount you think he owes you send him a copy telling him you have gotten legal advice and are willing to take it to small claims court,try to scare him with the whole ill sue you deal but only if what he owes you is worth the trouble.
good luck :) |

well, he,s not your friend any more, is he,,not a lot you can do. unless you send the big lads round. |
|
?

how tight are you? if you give you give, knowing that your a decent guy who would help out a friend in need, and being known that way by others should be payment enough. however if you know that this guy is no more than a lowlife scrounger, just take it on the chin and choose your mates with more care. |
