  • Hi just looking for advise.

    I paid for a holiday with the boyfriend at the time, he was going to pay me back once he got paid. Went on holiday, came back and finished with me 4 days before payday.
    He's now refusing to pay me back, do i have any chance of claiming the money back?

    Do you have anything in writing confirming what you say ?

    Chalk it up to experience, and dont make the same mistake again.

    If children can rip their own mothers off as seen in this thread, then anyone can.

    No point wasting time (and probably more money) trying to chase a loser for a debt he is not going to repay. What goes around will hopefully come around for him!
