This seems wrong which ever way i look at it. You being a single mum who is on a low income & hard up herself, can afford to loan out £50 to somebody else, also "struggling" to buy a TV stand! You can obviously afford to write it off after this amount of time, so better to learn by a mistake, and not be so gullible to "friends" who aren't quite as hard up and true as they make out. By the way. Any chance of a £50 sub so i can go on the Razz! Prat!

Id forget about it, clearly she has done you a favour by showing u what a really good friend she was for the small fee of £50....it could have been alot worse. We all get taken for mugs in life, best you learn now rather than later for alot more money

Don't forget to make sure everyone knows what has happened, cut off her future revenue supply, ensure others don't get taken.

Unfortunately i cant afford to write it off. The money I lent her was out of my child tax credits which is technically my baby's money. I must point out that she is also a single mum with 2 children but she gets double the money I get. I am having to borrow money off my parents to buy things like nappies at the moment which is really getting me down that I can't even afford the simple things which my baby needs.

All my friends know what has happened and some of my family. And the way she screamed at me outside her house the day she threw all my stuff outside in the garden when I was on my way to pick it up (including my laptop) i'm sure some of the neighbours will have picked up on it too.

Just out of interest what are her reasons for not wanting to pay you back?

Why was the 'tv stand' vital?

The part I'm confused about if this person is on more money because they have one more child whats that got to do with lending someone money but if you have a lower income there wouldn't be any spear money to lend out as you say it's out the kids tax credits and you need nappies etc so it's to important to and why did they have to lend it for a tv stand isn't important like food, gas nappies et that person souns selfish, only thing I can say no receipt of a loan agreement nothing can be done, motto of this story is you don't lend money out unless it's immediatle family

She got dumped on the morning of her wedding and he was taking the tv and stand so I lent her the money for a new stand so she could put the tv from the bedroom downstairs for the kids. She has no reasons for not paying me back the money she owes. She tried saying I owed her money but backed down very quickly on that one after I told her I'd paid the money I owed her months before in front of her parents.

Jen,
First things first...dont ever lend money to anyone again, even be wary about your immediate family too. Once burned is enough.
Secondly, I understand that your a single mum and struggling, however your possibly on more money (including rent paid for etc) than most working people on this site that have children (assuming you dont work, if you do my apologies)...I don't mean to sound horrible, but these are my views...
Personally if it's been 8 weeks and she is showing no signs of paying you back...cut your losses and move on. If your on benefits, go and get yourself a crisis loan..they take it out of your benefits each lot of money and you dont even realise they are taking it.
Your friend obviously isn't a friend...who needs enemies when you have friends like that. Move on chick, else your going to make yourself very unhappy.
I hope it all works out for you.
