About 4 years ago my BF went on holiday with an old school friend and two other guys (known to BF, but only loosely). During the trip one of these guys suggested renting a car. He took responsibility for organising the rental/ driving etc.
The holiday ended up being somewhat chaotic and money was not fully squared between the friends by the end of the trip. One of the outstanding issues was a parking ticket. The guy who rented the car said that he would wait until the ticket arrived and then work out who owed him what.
My BF heard nothing further from this guy for the next four years, until Sunday when he received a group email saying he (car rental guy) had finally calculated what everyone owed him !! Apparently my BF owes him £100. My BF is between jobs at the moment and definitely does not have £100 to spare!!
I think that given this holiday happened 4 years ago and the guy never bothered to ask for the money until now, the debt should be assumed to be written off. I think it’s really cheeky to come asking for it all of a sudden 4 years later..
AIBU?
