Forums - Gaming - What would you do if scum people owed you and ran away

Yeah, I'm sure you treated them always very respectful and were the victim of their unbearable ill-treatment (not answering calls, but moving out without a hassle and huge damages), if you describe them as "scum", "snakes" and finally thell them to "fuck off" when they have to move out within a week... gee, I wonder why that "snake" was first worried when you knocked on their door and was staring at you suspiciously when she knew they are in a debt they can't pay.

It just all depends on what kind of people they were. Some people are just doing the best they can and others just do not care if they owe somebody money or not. 

I do agree with you though, these were people most likely doing the best they can

They are a family - husband with wife and two little kids. Husband is 44 and has children from previous marriage, I'm sure he isn't paying alimony, works some simple labor work. Wife is 32 jobless and is a snake, the first time I met them she didn't want to let me in thinking that I was a door to door seller. After they let me in she didn't say a word and was staring at me suspociously the whole time. I tried to be polite and asked how they liked the apartment, she didn't reply. One time in winter when their debt was already over 500 euro she was passing me 50 euro arrogantly, that time I told them that I give them one week to pay the debt back or move out.


Considering that they have 2 little kids, and are already quite poor, I disrecommend sttempting to get "revenge" on them. The kids may actually suffer most for having parents in such an ill situation, and this would only make things worse.

Last year my dad's condition gradually worsened and I had to take over all his errands. Unfortunately my defunct dad had a style of dealing with scum people and one of them were renters who never paid on time and were always in debt. They had been in debt to me since november and in june I finally told them to uck off. I'm sure they owe to others, I know for sure they owe ~200 euro to their internet provider cos I received a deb collector's letter addressed to them after they moved. They moved to some terrible ghetto apartment (their words) in nearby town but I never learned the address. They owe me 250 euro and have stopped answering to my phone calls. I want to take some kind of revenge, I deserve that? One idea is learning their address and putting a match in their doors so they have to change the lock a few times, I think that would be great. I can't throw police on them because my dad never signed renting contract, it was all unofficial. What would you do in my situation, would you take revenge and how?


So, what do you intend to do?

I wasn't exactly lending them, they were paying in parts but always being in debt 100 to 200 euros.

Charge it to the game, it's only money. Nothing to seek revenge over. I have quite a few people that owe me over $3000. 2 of them no longer speak to me. I don't really care anymore, I'm in a much better position then they are right now or probably ever will be. Karma is a bitch, it will bite them in the ass when they least expect it.

I intend to be the bigger person as someone posted in this topic, I mean I am bigger and stronger, the renter is older and has diabetes, also he broke his leg in winter when getting off train, I'm sure while being drunk, that was the reason why their debt increased at one point, and he still walks with crutches. But in all seriousness I won't do nothing, I wanted to put my feels on paper with this topic.

Thanks man, I needed to hear that. I know for sure karma is biting them already since they are receiving letters from debt collectors, collectors don't go easy on anyone.

Then cut your losses.... It's 200€, it's not like it's an unbearable loss for you. And make sure there's a proper contract in place the next time you're renting out.

Truly, I believe that it would be best to attempt to contact them, politely, on the issue, or to ignore it entirely, also for the sake of the children.
