Bad debt

Thanks all. Elvis i really don't care who pays her rent but it certainly won't be me. I tried to help a friend in need and made a big mistake. I didn't ask her to move in with me because i would have been stuck with her for life and she wouldn't have given up her flat anyway. As for her getting a job, she has expensive tastes and needs a good wage. She is a fully qualified beautician and is only looking for the going rate. She is not being greedy. I have been lending her more money because i couldn't see her starve. But now i have had enough. I will not be giving her any more money or paying her bills and debts. I have come to an agreement with the site owner to rent a mobile home with the option to buy when/if i can get a bank loan so i will move out soon. I will sell her rings and necklaces and anything else of any value and she can get another credit card or cards to pay me the balance. The days of me being a soft touch are over.
Has she not come up with the idea of you getting her pregnant?
Then she petitions for bankruptcy, walks away from her debts - and you end up with no money and an ongoing liability for 16 years of child support.
She could then apply for a larger property, more benefits and have a good lifestyle.
As Jeremy Kyle would say - make sure you put something on the end of it!!!0
