Dilemma
#34
I think you are going to either have to kidnap the motor or forget about it, the fact that he knows your having your own problems yet rather than help chose to buy a pointless frivolous item suggests that he is very self centered, thats the kind of thing you buy when you have no other calls on your money and to be honest, even then its debateable.
I am so lucky with my lot, never have had anything like this and I am fairly certain I never will.

You say that you are £5,000 in debt, but is that what you loaned your brother or is that including interest, something else you're bought or paid out for since?
It seem's that you're parents aren't setting a good example for your brother in dismissing that fact that he STILL owes you the money.
I suggest that you all sit down in a room and discuss how this situation is to be sorted.........

£5000 is what i loaned to him,interest free cash loan,in dec 04,he had promised to pay all by dec 05.We have all sat down and discussed it numerous times, but for the past year he keeps saying 'yeah yeah' and not giving me a proper answer-i've told my parents to kick him out of the house for what he has done but they couldn't give to55,especially my mum who can't understand why i'm in a mood these days!

This is almost unbelievable, you need to sort this out, take his car, break his arm, bitch slap him until he crys - whatever takes your fancy.
Oh, can you lend me some money please?

Whatever happened to blood being thicker than water? It seems the money you have loaned is the least of your worries, given the behaviour of your sibling and parents. It often takes such an event for the true nature of people to be revealed. The fact that you are still owed this money shows how little respect and esteem you are accorded in your house. Pack your bags move out and get on with the rest of your life.

All you need is proof that the debt exists - a document or reliable witnesses.

You can demonstrate that you had 5K (bank statement), that you withdrew 5K (again bank statement) and that your scumbag brother bought a car with.. hey guess what.. 5K...
Let him show the court where his 5K came from....?
Plus good old mom & dad will confirm he borrowed the 5K....
Case closed.........

I mentioned the small claims court idea to my parents lastnight,and my mum gave me a look,which said something like 'don't even go there',so it looks like i'm battling with my parents as well,to get their support.

Now I suggest you get on with the task at hand and stop all this "my mum gave me a funny look.." nonsense.... and remember you're are an adult... so start acting like one

middxsti, it seems to me that you need to learn how to be more assertive when dealing with your brother and parents. Decide on a course of action and stick with it - if your mother can 'give you a look' and it's enough to deter you, then you hardly deserve to get your money back (sorry if that sounds harsh).
Sit down with your mother and make it clear to her that you won't give up until your brother fulfils his obligation to repay the loan. Tell her what a poor example she is setting to your brother and, unless she is willing to repay the loan herself, she has no right to comment.
Then go and speak to your brother and give him a choice - either repay the loan within an agreed time frame, or accept the consequences (which will be whatever you have decided on). Personally, I would threaten a good beating, but you have several other (possibly more sensible) options open to you.
Now stop moaning on here and go and do something about it

*RESULT*My parents have just phoned me and said to me they will give me the £5k,as long as i don't go to the small claims court-a cheque will be waiting for me this evening .I strongly believe this is as much my parents fault for not telling my brother off,in the first place,so i think i definetly will take the cheque off my dad tonight.I still have this feeling though,to teach my brother a lesson,if the oppurtunity arises i will give him a little taster.
#54
Not really fair on your parents though, although I realise they don't want the shame of it all coming out in court.
I would definitely try to get the logbook and the car and see how it goes from there.

Good news Middxsti
I was in a similar position with one of my bros a few years back. It wasn't quite as bad as 5k but I can sympathise with what you're going / been through.
I never got the money back off him but suffice to say it came back on him
Oh and to some of the people who have said earlier on in the thread..... sometimes giving the person a good beating isn't a viable option - unless of course your willing to use a very large piece of wood
Andy
EDITED TO ADD: Les, just seen your post and would agree with your "not fair on the parents" but as the OP mentioned earlier they were just telling him to "forget about it" - if my parents had said that to me then I'd have told them to give me the money and then THEY can forget about it

Middsxti.
Got the money cleared in your account?
Wait a month and trash his car in some way to teach the spoilt little **** a lesson.
Hit his wallet hard.
Deny all knowledge in that "i did it, and don't mess me about anymore" way.

Cash the cheque from your parents and wait a month or so then when he's a sleep or pi55ed borrow his keys and then drive past a couple of speed cameras.
Nice 3 points to bruv.

Whatever you do, don't get revenge this weekend, wait a while, let everything be forgotten. Then exact revenge - ideally when you know he's pissed one of his mates off
And move out ASAP
