Family mess with temporary payment

I think C is a chancer!

So Person C was supposed to be buying the gift @£200 funded by short rent and a £100 contribution


That would make there monthly expenses £500 (300 to B and £200 for the gift)




but B ended up buying the gift @ £200


So they are owed the £400 + the £100 of C's share

Advice_please

Not rent, A and C pay the full mortgage and home insurance and some utilities B pays other utilities and food. The £400 to B is to cover any extra expenses in the house. I think because of this and A and C are earning a bit less money than B it causes financial tensions all the time because C thinks it's unfair they and A pay so much.

All very well, but C is still chancing their mitt!

You asked for help with simple maths - provided, and everyone agrees; £500

Whether the hosuehold should run on capitalst or socilaist grounds is a whole other can of worms

Yes I just wanted other written opinions to show to the people involved to help solve this issue which is one of many due to financial tensions in the house.

That REALLY doesn't matter

In this situation very true I was just adding more information on the household situation

A and C are young, a lot younger than B and they do pay more than their fair share. the problem came because C was genuinely convinced it was £400 and had worked it out like this

£400 usual payment - £100 (half of gift) = £300 owed in total this month, but B pays £200 for gift early his £100 plus C's £100 adding £200 to the payment total this month making £500 owed, then C had deducted a £100 from that £500 as B's part owed towards gift totalling £400 owed to B this month.

Hopefully this situation is all resolved for now, outside opinions soothe the tensions between people that don't get along so well but are stuck with living arrangements.

There is no -£100. This only works if C purchased the present and B owed them the money. B purchased the entire thing so owes C nothing. It's £400 +£100 gift money borrowed.

As I have said several times on here. The complications of other people's finances never cease to amaze me. Whatever happened to "keep it simple".
It sounds as if at least one of the persons concerned can't afford to be involved in the giving of expensive presents.
It has made my head hurt. Just trying to understand what's going on.
