Lent my boyfriend money two weeks ago still have not received it back. help?

"If you lend someone $20 dollars and you never see them again, then it was money well spent" You got off easy. You could have married, 2 kids, and then find out he's a dead beat. This is your lesson, and cost of the lesson is $120. Actually, it's a good deal. If you learn from this, you will gain a lot more then $120.

Lesson 1. Don't lend money to boyfriends. Any man who asks his girlfriend for money isn't much of a man. Or he has a drug problem.

Lesson 2. Let it go. "I want this horrible game to end" It's up to you. You can let this eat you up inside. But all it will get you is bad health and a bad life. Know when to let go.

Your not mad about $120. Your bad because you trusted and loved him, and he took your love and threw it in the trash. And you should be mad. But don't let it ruin your life, or even you day.

I watch these court shows, like Judge Judy, and the plaintiff says "It's not the money, it's the principal" But I disagree. I think court is about money. And I wouldn't sue over $120. If you took the time that it takes to sue, and put that time into finding a better job, you will make much more.

You can't do anything really, because key word LENT. You loaned your boyfriend money. You have no record of it, at all. You can't take him to court for various reasons. 1) YOU loaned it to him, yourself. 2) You have no record of it, he didn't sign anything for it. He could go and say, "She never gave me money." and that would be that. 3) Even if you had a record of it, standard small claims charges are $100+ dollars, so you wouldn't get the money back anyways. It was your choice to loan it to him, and as a result it's gone. I understand the frustration, I loaned an exboyfriend money about 5 years ago for the same reason, he contacted me saying he was on the wrong side of some people. When you make the decision to loan someone money, you have made the decision to part with that money for good.

No, don't waste your time. First of all, when you factor in missing work and the time involved with going to court when all you will receive is $120, it's probably not worth it.

Second of all, do you even have any proof this was a loan? Do you have text messages or something that shows he knows you owe him money? I'm guessing you don't. If not, you have no shot. And again, even if you can prove it, it's probably not even worth it.

Well you have no proof you lent him this money, which means the courts will not side in your favour.

Its your word against his and without even a bank transfer to prove the transaction you have nothing.

Unless you have any texts discussing it?

Yep. You can go to court and file in small claims.

But you aren't likely to get your money back - even if you get a judgment. (All a small claims court judge will do is issue a written order that he owes you the money. The judge will not make him pay you back. It's up to you to collect the money.)

Your only option would be small claims court, but if you think about it can you actually PROVE you gave him that money? I don't think its worth the hassle for that amount anyways, but that's up to you.

Ring him up go around to him and tell him that you want your money back. The fact he ignored you on that particular day shows he may be reluctant to pay you back.

If you dump this loser who obviously sponges off of his grandfather to purchase drugs, then you can consider it money well spent as a lesson learned.

However, something tells me you wont.

Your boyfriend used you money to buy drugs.

Way to pick a winner there.

No.... I would wait like a month to see if he comes up with the money, then you can probably go to court.
