I have a friend who is struggling,
I say "friend" because in the past year I've seen her once and not heard from her at all, only if I message first.
About 18 months ago we were quite close and I loaned her £80, she hasn't repaid this.
Now today she's messaged me saying she's got an eviction on the house, she's got a solicitor who has made an agreement that she needs to pay £250 by Monday and then £137 every week.
She said she now has a job but doesn't get her first pay until Wednesday.
Then she had said she is short £80 for the £250 due Monday.
And asked if I can lend it to her and then sent her bank details through, telling me I'll get it back Wednesday.
What do I do? Would I be unreasonable to say no? She has a 4 year old son and is single, but we're trying to save to move as we're in a bit of a situation ourselves and I can't afford to "lend" £80 as I can't afford to lose that money. But then I see her losing her home :/
