Count it as a loss. Obviously you learned a lesson... don't mix money and friendship. It could have been a more expensive loss... just be happy it was only $200.00 and don't do it again. |

you just learned a 200$ lesson. you know that she is NOT your friend and never was.
Ignore her, dont pay her any mind. dont stress it and remember that you opened your heart and did a good thing. But in the future when you give money , dont expect it back! Give it willingly.
Hard lesson I know but you atleast you know |

My father says you should either give the money or don't give. Never loan. It leads to situations like the one you are in. I subscribe to this, because I to have been in situations like yours. Chalk this one, up as a loss. And I don't mean be Santa Claus and give away money at will, but on random occurrences. |

It is what it is

You should got her to sign something stating she was going to pay you back.. In most cases when you loan someone money you shouldn't expect it back because most people are scum! Let this be a lesson learned and don't loan money again! I |

Send her an email or something. Provoke her to acknowledge in writing that she did receive it. Next, send her a certified letter stating the the money is owed by a certain date and you will accept payments of $25 a week or you are prepared to take her to court. Then if you don't get a response, take her to court and bring any witness you have, your receipt for the certified letter, and if you loose you loose, but at least you tried and she realizes that she cannot do what ever she wants.
A more passive approach would be to approach her and say I understand you have money problems, if you didn't you would not have had to borrow money from me. I too have money issue and would like to work something out like x amount of dollars per week. I don't see any need for tension between us, we are adults and can work this out. |

A personal lesson learned! NEVER loan money and expect it to be repaid. Don't be too hard on yourself, and don't be angry at her; it's human nature. It doesn't mean she's a bad person, either. Many people eventually learn not to loan money because you'll never see it again.
If she needed the money in the first place, she will probably always be unable to repay it. Drop the issue, but do not allow yourself to be taken advantage of by anyone again. As a last resort, you could try asking her again in another two or three months for the money back, or even six months later when she is in a better financial position.
Everyone knows not to loan money, you'll never see it again! It's human nature. No personal fault on your part, it was a very kind gesture. :-) |

Geez, no receipt. Lesson learned I guess. Next time you loan money to anyone, friends or family, give them a check.' |

dear, you behaved as a Friend during her problem so consider it as a help.you can test her thinkings by asking her to help you in your financial problem ,by this you can judge her weather she consider your help as divine & consider helping you back or not. |

I too agree that you should just count it as a loss. If it was somewhat of a friend I would also just let her know that it is no big deal. I know $200 seems like a large amount of money, but I believe it pales in comparison to severing the friendship bond. The relationship is now strained because she probably feels awful that she can't pay you back, so she avoids you. |

You need to get her a** fired.. Tell everyone at work what kind of person she is. You can't do anything legally to get your money back. But an old fashioned beat down would make you feel better..lol |

it is on work .
go to Human Resources and they will provide you with some options.
But trust me always pay with check or some written proof.
Send her email that you will take this to police or HR and they have lie detectors to find out. |

I would still threaten to sue her. Do you have any witnesses to the loan? A signed promissory note? Does she acknowledge she owes you the money? Will she acknowledge the loan in front of a witness? Will she sign a promissory note now? Can you ask her to make payments? There are still many things you can try to do to get your money...don't give up on the money but give up on your friendship with her...she is a user! |
