My ex boyfriend owes me money,would you ask for it?

[1985seesunss]

We split 5 weeks ago and a side of him came out I didn't know existed.
Anyway he owes me £100.
He promised me he would give me it on Saturday.
I messaged him and he said he was busy and he would do it when he was finished.
Now it's today and nothing.
He has loads of money so is deliberately not paying me.
Do I leave it and just block him or do I ask again for the £100?
That's a lot of money for me to loose that's the only thing.

You can ask, highly unlikely you will get it though

Agree with Hopping. Ask away, but you probably won't get it. Never lend money if you can't afford to lose it.

Why wouldn't he pay tho?
I don't understand why he won't
He knows he owes me.
It's baffling

To annoy you?
Because he doesn't have to?
No one here can tell you why he won't pay. Keep asking.

Have you any proof ?Threaten him with the small claims court and tell him it will wreck his credit rating for a £100.The threat alone might work .

The only proof I have are text messages but I doubt that would count as proof would it?

Text messages count as proof especially if you have one of him acknowledging he owes you this money. I watch enough Judge Judy, so threaten with a small claims

You have asked for it and he is ignoring the request. Does it matter?
Chalk it up to experience and move on.

Why is he doing it? At some point he has rationalised that he equally subsided you in some way. For example expensive gifts, paying for dinner or nights out when you dated. It’s not true or right and I don’t agree with it, but it is what people do.

Chasing an ex for £100 through small claims will make you look vindictive and stalkerish. I’m not saying that’s right either.

I would also just leave it.

Judge tinder! Or alternatively consider it a small price for a valuable lesson. You're never getting it back.

He is fobbing you off. Don't ever lend a man money. A grown man shouldn't ask. You're actually lucky it was only £100 I know that's not really comforting but some men will scam.you for thousands throughout the course of a relationship so take this as a harsh lesson

Text messages count as proof!
£100 is worth getting back

I wouldn't chase it.

If it was me, I'd carry on asking in the hope he'd get sick of me bombarding and give it back in the end. £100 is a lot of money to some people.

Some people are just aren't very nice. My ex did this years and years ago, he had terrible credit so my mum took out a phone on contract for him. When we broke up, he sat texting some porno line which charged £2.50 per photo sent. I looked at the online bill and he had sat from about 6pm right through till about 4am texting this number every few minutes, simply to be a dick. The bill was hundreds and hundreds of pounds and we were left to pay it.

Some people are just awful.

I doubt you'll be getting the money back but hopefully I'm wrong.

Go bang on the door and irritate him.

Went through this with an ex of mine. Public post naming and shaming him social media for ripping off a Single struggling mother soon sorted it. 2 hours after the post including screen shots of his messages and the cash got pushed through my door

No it won’t.

It looks like someone owes her money.

Lesson learned. He has loads of money, he had no business taking money off you. You can ask again but it's unlikely you'll see a penny of it.

I could afford to lose 100 quid for the sake of not having to speak/ engage with an ex.

You could pursue through small claims with the text proof if you want/ need the money?

Why wouldn't he pay tho? I don't understand why he won't

Because people are shitty when going through break ups.

I was in a similar situation with my ex and left it as I didnt want the tie of continually having to ask or him to have that power over me. It was £800 for a car deposit and although it was a lot I frankly couldn't stand to see the cheating waste of oxygen.
