Lent a friend a credit card :(
Discussion
Before i start yes i know ive made a mistake..please go easy.
I lent my so called good friend my credit card. Every payment was made up until the friend was sent down for nasties towards two of his family members. As he is in prison now, and hopefully he will spend quite a while there, can i still put a claim against him?
His daughter paid one payment and has got s
tty with me as its not her debt even though she said she would pay it, i went to visit the ex friends wife and was warned off via text from the daughter that she will contact the police for harassment, this doesnt bother me as ive done nothing wrong.
Even though he borrowed the money would his wife be liable as she used it as well, it paid for flights?
Any advice appreciated. £500 was the outstanding debt. £450 now owing. I could just pay it off but why the hell should i pay for somone elses bloody holiday.

Do you have anything in writing ?
Also, never lend money to anyone that you want to continue being civil with.
instead point them to Wonga et al ... that what they're for.
credit card statements from purchasing of flights and around 12-14 monthly payments. also text messages from the daughter agreeing to pay £50 a month.Also, never lend money to anyone that you want to continue being civil with.

How did he spend? Just online? Either way, you could find yourself in hot water if your card company find out you have it to someone else.
If the bills were racked up in the states and they find out it wasn't by you, you may find they'll close your account. It's still breach of terms.

no pin given, he wanted to visit relatives in the states and i was just being a friend.
Genuinely - do you not feel like a bit of a hassling his daughter and wife for the money? I'm sure they've a lot bigger problems to get through at the minute.Be the bigger man, write it off and move on.

Your fault for being foolish, (it does happen).
Just pay up and move on.
Not foolish, just helping out a at the time really really good friend. Obviously if i had know he was a kiddie fiddler i would not have leant him anything..Your fault for being foolish, (it does happen).
