Find out who is new tart is and get in touch with her, tell her what a complete and utter !!!!! he is and ask her if she can convince him to do the right thing and pay you back.Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0

LOL doubt if the new tart would listen to an embittered ex. He's probably already spun the new woman a few stories about the situation.Signature Removed by Forum Team ..thanks to somebody reporting a witty and decades-old Kenny Everett quote as 'offensive'!!0 -
Cut and run, he will do the same with the new GF.0

It wasnt a lot. But i would happily write it off if she had no more to do with her 'mate' ever again. Gf is a bit rubbish with money also & sometimes do need to learn hard way as i did warn that it wouldnt be seen again & wanted a signed lending agreement. Im not going out of pocket because of it.0 -
If you were living together, presumably you met his parents? Contact them in a concerned manner "I hope ex-boyfriend is OK, has he lost his job? He owes me £xxxx and I haven't had a repayment for months"
This is a desperate measure, but it's probably all you have left as you've lent someone money that you shouldn't have and done it in a way that he can walk away without repaying, particularly if he feels the relationship ending was unamicable.
I can't imagine ever lending money in these circumstances (or at least, 'lending' and expecting to get it back). As others have said, this may be an expensive lesson learned0 -
Do you have it in writing at all that he is to pay you back X amount each month?
Also - Citizens Advice Bureau will be able to give you free advice - pop along there!
I did before with an issue - followed their advice and got my money back from a pesky landlord.0 -
Would it make any difference if there was eveidence of a bank transfer? Presumably not as the ex could just say that was a payment for furniture or something they bought together?0
