How to ask for my money? Girl’s night out a couple of weeks ago.

[brownalien]

I paid for a fair bit, everyone else has transferred the money back. Friend in question text to ask for bank details, I sent them, she still hasn’t transferred. Awkward.
We’re not hugely close (if we were I would just chalk it up and probably she’d get the next round in when we next went out). I’m finding it annoying more than anything else. Before anyone says - there are definitely zero financial issues.

I hope she sorts out payment today. I think most people if they'd genuinely forgotten would be mortified and have paid immediately or at the very least have replied to your message in the interim.
I was going to suggest when you asked saying you could wait until payday I that helped, because you never know someone's actual finances and if she is like you (wealth and personality wise) she would probably pay quite promptly.
I really hope she was just busy/working etc but I can't imagine it's likely she didn't have enough time to either send the money or an apology message.

If she doesn’t reply then you could go down the WhatsApp route, something along the lines of thank you to everyone who has paid, I’m just waiting on cheapfriend to transfer now.

Yep I would do this if she doesn’t reply.

I assumed she had forgotten but the fact she hasn’t sent a grovelling apology straight away makes me think not.

How did you word the text OP? Is she nice normally?

If no reply then mention it casually in the group chat or ask someone else to ask her as you can't get hold of her. CF rely on people giving up or being too wimpy to chase.

@MonkeypuzzleClimber , Did you read the OP? Your post doesn't answer How to ask for my money? Girl’s night out a couple of weeks ago.

Any payment received yet? Id be furious.

Cheeky! I’d be angry now.

Wrong thread.

I’m waiting for OPs pal to start a thread titled ‘my super rich friend is chasing me for a tiny amount of money, when she eats off gold plates and has diamonds on the soles of her shoes’

Just two little ticks!

Fuming.

What, so she is allowed to take the piss just because she has less money?

This is irrelevant anyway. I think we’re pretty well matched.

Well, we all live in the same London burb and drive similar cars etc.

I used to be the same. Now, I always just drop a text that says something along the lines of hi, just wanted to check what day you sent that money over as it’s not in my account and thought I’d better check before I chase the bank.

Please tell us that she’s replied now?! I’m too invested in this thread!

What's your next move to get your money?

There’s a theory that if the amount is less than 0.01% of your net worth, you should just not worry about it.
I think it’s supposed to reduce stress when deciding about upgrades or buying a latte.

Does this help OP?

Not sure. Probably need to write it off.

We’re friends through a sport, and I don’t want to make it awkward.

Even better, you can ask her in person! All the awkwardness is on her then

Except I’m a massive wimp!

This woman is treating you shabbily OP. I am sorry you cannot stand up for yourself.

There's nothing embarrassing or shaming about asking for money you're owed. Next time you see her first thing you do is mention the money before you even have chance to think about it

Surely she’ll be too embarrassed to show her face at your mutual sport if she hasn’t paid you?
