Post subject:  Should I go ahead with this? opinions needed :(
basically at work I was discussing money related things, he was on about how he has paid a bank or something a certain amount but coudn't pay the full amount so they are taking him to court all the way down in England, so he needs about £2000 to give to the bank or company by few weeks, if he pays up then there will be no court/headache/extra stress etc

I jokingly said that I could loan him the 2k with no interest, he said he would pay me with £70+ more more interest for me and all the time I thought he was joking when infact he was being serious :roll: I said that I could give him this 2k and he said id get it back within 2-3 months, I can easily afford it but its a matter of trust etc, just a bit skeptical he vanishes off the radar, What would people here do in this situation? I feel kinda bad that he has to travel all the way down to england just for a court hearing when the cash he needs is just gathering dust in my bank, which would save the stress of it all

anyone any suggestions what to do?

ps I think I can trust him, I have his mobile and know where he works in both places etc, and I get on with him really well etc :(

just wary :( is that normal?

Don't do it.

The very fact that he's willing to accept charity off someone 100% proves, without a shadow of a doubt, that you'd never see a penny of that money back. And what's more it isn't even remotely your problem.

I would agree. If he owes the bank money his best best is to opt for an IVA which can write off much of his debts. I am not sure of the limits but a negotiated deal is by far the best. If he already has this debt he could have a lot more that you do not know about, and be unable to repay you ever.

Well if you can afford to loose £2k then it might be worth doing however if it was me I would walk away.

And massive fun it is too. Bratty, I could count the amount of people I'd give two grand to on one finger and he isn't one of them. So for that reason, I'm out.

Oops, freudian slip I meant one hand.

Avoid it bratty.

I'd never have mentioned it in the first place. If it was a close family member, I might consider it but it would really strain the relationship if there were payment problems.

I lent £450 to a mate years ago. I never did get it back.
