Hens still havent paid me back?

I'm going away on a hen trip for my cousins wedding. When we booked it I paid for the brides share up front with the agreement the hens would pay me their share back. This was 6 months ago. We are a month out and despite me asking a few times, none of the hens have paid me yet. AIBU to ask for this to be paid within the next week? I have expenses for the trip which I was planning to cover with this that I cant yet. For context its around £400

Hi folks, third time of asking, but due to radio silence regarding my first two requests I need to be absolutely clear ... please pay x into my bank account (bank details) by Friday, date, at the latest. If you dont send me your contribution, as agreed, I will need to ask bride to pay your share.

Edited

This was posted a month ago, the Op was paid and updated. You’re the 300th comment, did it not occur to you that others may have offered advice and the threads moved on????

This still puts no pressure ON THEM. but returns the pressure on YOU to make a move. You have the awkward job of asking the bride - which let’s be honest, you won’t do, so then you have to think of another thing to do.

just fucking tell those women to pay up or cancel!

I thought this was about the lack of eggs from chickens!

This happened to my sister. My hens, well one hen, hadn't paid her share despite promises etc. Sister said she was out of pocket, hen still didnt budge. My sister then told me and was very sorry for involving me. But I was happy she did. I simply asked hen if she was still coming. She said yes and I said my sister hasnt been paid your share and now cant afford trip. So she had to pay by end of today. Or I would be paying sister back. I then sais that I assumed hen wouldnt be coming as she would have no spending money etc. Money was paid that day. People are CF.

Yes, but I also assumed that they were rescue hens not being sufficiently grateful

Send a named e mail individually as this will be harder to ignore and demand a response x

Why are people still suggesting what the OP should do? Hmm
