    Morning All,

    Someone owes me a considerable amount of money, they are ignoring my texts and phone calls.

    I know where they live so can go around and try and sort it out but things could get nasty, I'm thinking I might have to report them to the police but is that OTT?

    Has any member of the elite ever been in a similar situation to this and can offer me some advice?

    Thanks,
    Sad_Dad

    Good morning all

    A milder dry day at present We had several roads closed, trains cancelled buses rerouted etc due to flooding yesterday Hope no one on here was badly affected

    Baby sitting just before lunch so that DS and DIL can wrap all the "santa" presents before returning them to the loft for 25th

    I like a big clearout of rubbish before the New Year but if doesn't get done it really wont matter I am getting more realistic with passing years

    Enjoy whatever you do and of course :santa2::wave::wave:to our lovely Flo Flo

    Where do you start with this one?

    Is it a close friend? Family? Work mate?
    Are you sure they're ignoring you? Could they have a new phone number?
    Personally I would try the "keep it friendly" approach, explain that you're struggling for money yourself and ask if they can maybe start paying you an agreed amount each week.
    Failing that - send the boys round :o:eek:
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    Letter Before Action, sent by post so they know you have confirmation it was sent. Shows that you are taking it seriously and will take steps to get the debt repaid.

    Police will only take an interest if it is theft, if it is tardiness in repaying a loan they will consider it a civil matter and not get involved.
