(summary old friend moves in doesnt pay rent owes me £600+bills, repeatedly lies about when he will pay, hides, eventually I have to embarrassingly ask his parents)
We moved out in september, I thought i'd give the 2nd chance if he managed to actualy pay his part of the final bills on time I wouldnt hold a grudge, saw him a few times in the pub he said he would pay them soon I gave him the benifit of the doubt, saw him once he said he had sent a cheque to my other ex housemate (ex house mate says he doesnt even know his address, never came) seemed like familiar lies, meanwhile final demands are stacking up at mine, about a month ago I told him it absolutely had to be paid now and he said he has got a job and would pay at the end of october, that came and went no sign of it, I chased him for it he was all like 'just tell me what I owe and i'll pay it' as if all I needed was to just ask, obviously it never came. Left things alone for a while but then asked again last friday, he said he sent a cheque (never came) so he said he would send another cheque (hasn't come). I found out he has moved from his parents to brighton which really annoyed me because he chose to do that before paying off his debts.
Today I got a letter threatening ccj's and baylifs if the money isnt paid. I hadnt had any reply from him for ages so I phoned him. I told him he shouldnt have moved before paying of his debts first, he told me I shouldnt tell him what to do with his life and that it was 'only £80', I told him £80 is alot of money as I have no income, he told me I should get a job (have been looking since leaving uni in sept), I shouted at him that I shouldnt have to get a job to pay off his debts. I am actually furious. He assured me he will pay it but ive heard that some many times before, I know it will just be more stalling and ignoring, I think he has a weird mental block where he thinks saying he is going to do something is the same as doing it, he keeps saying he is sorry but he has done the same thing over and over and over again. I am so angry I don't have any perspective, I feel like posting a massive long rant on his facebook wall, it bothers me he is still friends with friends I want people to pick sides, am I being unreasonable or should I really hate this person
