Friend borrowed $3000 and didn't pay back as promised
3 months ago, a friend asked to borrow $3000. I don't think she told me the truth why she needed it (she said it was a tie-over until she got her tax refund.) I was hesitant as $3000 is a lot of money, but this is a good friend and I could sense she was struggling financially because she had recently taken in a roommate and started working a 2nd job. Before loaning her the money, I asked her if she was in any kind of trouble, and she denied it, saying that she just needed some extra money to tie her over until her tax refund.
30 days went by. No text, no call. 60 days went by... no text, no call. 90 days went by... no text no call. 94 days go by and she calls me to wish me a happy b-day and asks when are we going out for drinks like nothing ever happened. I couldn't talk when she called me at work, but it was awkward and I was mad. I decided to think and pray about this over the weekend.
This morning, I texted her and said I needed the $3000 by then end of this week. I got a response a few hours later saying that she had not forgotten about the money, but I would have to wait until the end of the month. I texted back and asked for a date. I got a text saying I would get $1500 at the end of this month and $1500 at the end of September. I don't even know if I believe her. Worst off, I feel betrayed and taken advantage of.
What would you do?
