he's not married
I wonder why? http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=39170.msg753639;topicseen#new
Perfect! So you can ask his mother
I have heard cases of where an areiev didnt help at all, so ymmv
When lending someone money always make him get an areiv(someone to obligate himself if the borrower doesnt pay)this usually takes care of this sort of problem.
Bump
Sorry didn't look at this thread till now. That is talking about mashkin here we are talking about tofeis lbaal chov which although if you go to beis din they are not allowed to tell you do it but it is it is an option for someone who knows the halachos.
Thank You for the welcome Freddie, In my experience their are very few people out there that owe money (there are malicious exceptions out there obviously) that do not plan on repaying the debt. They just rationalize not paying at the current moment by telling themselves things like, he doesn't really need the money now, ill pay him as soon as I get my next paycheck or as soon as I pay off that credit card bill etc. But really it all comes down to priorities, and how high your debt is on his list. I have even had people tell me things like "you really need the money now" or "why do you need the money now" !!! So like I said, you have to find someway to make it more important to this guy that he pays you now.
Yehuda25, thank you! I followed your advice and situation resolved, B"H.
kiddush?!
