A couple of years ago a friend was struggling for money and took out a high interest loan. I had some money in savings not making much interest so I said I would pay off the loan and she could pay me back from the monthly payments she was making on the loan but only just covering the interest. It was £3000.
She has never once mentioned it again and I think she's forgotten all about it. Up until recently her financial situation hadn't improved so I hadn't said anything however now she has a new DP and they've bought a big house together, going on long-haul holidays etc.
Should I ask for the money back? I'm guessing it would come from her DP rather than her as she obviously hasn't been saving up the payments as we'd agreed. I don't need it in the strictest sense to live on but I am renovating my house so it would come in useful.
I don't really know what she would say, I genuinely think she's forgotten all about it. I'm a bit pissed off that she's clearly taken it for granted but I've known her 20 years and I didn't think she'd do this. And yes, I have learnt my lesson about never a lender or borrower be.
WWYD? Ask for it back or not?
