Friend due money - how to chase?

I booked and paid for a trip for me and two friends to go away in October. All costs were discussed and agreed beforehand but for ease, I booked and expected the others to pay when we had the trip (or sooner!).

I ended up being unwell and not being able to go.

After the trip had finished, I got in touch with the two friends and asked payment for the accommodation/activities. I asked for a third each (so still paid for my share.)

One friend paid as soon as the trip had finished.

The other got my first message, promised payment. It didn’t arrive. I asked her again, she didn’t read my message for weeks then replied apologising and saying she has banking issues and as she lives abroad would have to get a family member to pay. Said she had spoken to the member of the family and all arranged for the following Monday. This still hasn’t happened.

This friend is very, very comfortable so money is no issue. She is very ‘scatty’ but likes to be awkward.

How do i chase again and get this resolved? It’s £200 so not an insignificant amount.

I'd just chase up via the usual method saying ""hey, name, hope you are ok, do you know if relative sent that money yet as I've not received it. Thanks".

It could be an issue as relatives end.

Next time get he to pay!
