i KNOW THIS GUY Brian Townsend, he owes me $650, his Mom told me that he's broke so I asked him about the money and he keeps stalling saying he's busy doing some stuff, when is long too long to wait for somebody who owes u money?my rent is coming up and I need the money [/ QUOTE ] i don't think its a good idea to out a person on a public board...the name you gave is commonplace, so you can always deny saying you were specifically naming on person, but i think you can cause yourself some liable problems by doing something like that. if you really are upset, would you consider going to court and getting a judgement? could you prevail in small claims? otherwise, you just have to cut off credit, friendship & hope mutual friends will do the same.

[/ QUOTE ] I would normally agree with you but in this situation I cannot. Brian Townsend also owes me a significant sum of money, and I'm having a lot of trouble collecting. If anything, this will prevent future people from lending money to this degenerate [censored]!!

Re: Proper etiquette for dealing with someone that is busto
1) forget the money and chalk it up as a lesson.
2) Break off friendship with that person. You dont want to be a chump do you ? 3) Dont lend anyone money every. Give and dont expect to get it back. If you cant deal with hit, dont give. all lessons are hard learnt by me. Wish I had read these similar threads before i helped out my buddy. Oh wait !! i did read some of those and still thought that my buddy was different. See I wish i was a smart guy. Those who say "live and learn" have got it wrong because "You dont live long enough to make all the mistakes by yourself. So learn from others". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Proper etiquette for dealing with someone that is busto: -Buy him a beer, because you want to be a friendly and understanding person -Donīt talk about the money he owns you all the time, he canīt pay it back anyway right now because heīs busto -Help him get a job if possible [/ QUOTE ] Edit. Original response a little too harsh. Basically, this seems overly nice. Is this some type of honey attracts more bees philosophy?

Re: Proper etiquette for dealing with someone that is busto
Loaning money is never ever a good situation.
People like this piss me off more than anything - they owe you a large amount of money, then give you a hard time when you have the "balls" to ask for it back. It's just ridiculous. Give him a timeline to pay it off in say, 3-4 installments. In the meantime, take something as collateral until it's paid off (laptop, ipod, or anything he values).
