Dealing with unpaid debt can be a challenging and frustrating experience, especially when it involves a friend or acquaintance.
According to a 2020 article by JUST BRENDA, published on January 15, 2020, the first step in resolving the issue is to establish a paper trail.
JUST BRENDA advises sending a clear and concise message to the debtor, stating the total amount owed and requesting a specific repayment date.
However, if the debtor fails to make good on their promise, it may be necessary to take further action.
JUST BRENDA suggests visiting the debtor's home and retrieving items of value, making sure to take items worth approximately the same amount as the debt.
As a last resort, if the debtor still refuses to pay, it may be time to involve the police and report the incident as theft.
Before doing so, it's a good idea to send a courtesy text to the debtor, informing them of your intentions.
