If you lent someone some money, how do you retrieve it back when they refuse?

Question

Help me out here.

This guy at my school needed 10$ to cover some expenses for a group assignment that was very big, and because he was in my group, I expected him to pay me back. However, he keeps on running away, lying to me, saying that "Oh I didn't see you at your lunch table" (when I was really there for the whole period), saying such things like, "Yeah, I'll be there in 2 minutes *goes into the washroom*" and he never comes-- and when i found him, he was on the field doing some g*y **** with his buddies--

his buddies were backing him up-- saying things like, "oh, i do not know what you are talking about" in a very robotic and obviously terrible acting voice.

I talked to my teacher and he said that the guy has to pay me back and I will get my money back-- But I don't know how that will happen!! Maybe during the board room... (our assignment is like The Apprentice)

My solution was to raise a syndicate of bodyguards and loan sharking business. I want to be in the mafia, haha X)

Answer 1

Ok, getting your own thugs is a nice idea but we can modify it....

why don't you ask any elder brother of yours to threat him in paying you the money ?

Or you can wait and see whether the teacher fulfills the promise.

Answer 2

That's how it happens.  Never loan money to someone if you want it back.  Just be pleasantly surprised when you do get money back from someone.

I like the idea of getting your own thugs.

Answer 3

You learned a very important life lesson for only $10.

Never loan money (or other things you want back) to friends and whenever you do loan someone money, make them sign a note describing the loan and when and how they will pay you back. That way you have proof in case you have to go to small claims court.

BTW - Does your teacher have any plans to help you get the money?

Answer 4

well you need some thugs to beat it out of him...i would have them come in during the board room meeting..lol and scare the c**p out of him..and show him you mean business...after all the mafia is all about showing someone the rules when they dont want to pay
