do you encounter a friend who borrows money from you and completely ignore you without returning you ur money? i've encounter one myself. she will have ways and means to avoid me from contacting her. furthermore, she borrowed money from many other people as well and yet to return them any amount.

I've always believed that it's better not to loan money to friends or family if you can't afford to give it to them. That way, when they do pay you have a nice surprise! I did loan a friend a sizeable amount of money several years ago and she has never offered to pay any of it back yet, but I don't let it become an issue because I could afford it at the time and she was really struggling then and still is. She's still a good friend, and has never asked me for any more, so I just let it go.
I certainly wouldn't loan this girl any more money if she keeps borrowing from other people and doesn't pay them back either. There's a difference between helping out a friend and letting them take advantage of you. Accept the loss; it's not worth losing sleep over.

because we were from the same school, she used to loan money from ppl and will return. its after she graduate and move on to further studies she started borrowing and doesn't return any of the money she borrowed. most of us lent money to her with the thought that she will return but she doesn and she's even avoiding her close friends after she borrowed money from the person
