To me $125 seems like a lot but you should call the police if he tries to threaten you and then take him to court.
So there's this guy...

Call the cops and/or sue, that's theft and threats of assault you'll likley never get the money back but you could make things difficult for him through legal means.Hallow said:
Or
Go to a party/ gathering of freinds and aquantances that he won't be at while the guy you've hired to kick his arse does his thing.
Get yourself beaten up but attempt to record/get a friend to see it then call the cops. Problem solved.
EDIT: I'm not joking. If you can't beat him up then find a way to take him to court.

Pretty much everyone here is suggesting to get an ass kicked, be it the one who lent the money, or the one that it was lent to. While, as I see, the thing is that he would not stand a chance to the other guy in a fair (questionable) fight. Violence is not always the solution. But you should stop being that nice of a guy, with the "please pay me back" on the facebook message and stuff. That makes you sound like an easy prey, and he'll be sure to come to you for more money. I agree with the people saying you should tell other people though, as long as you can make sure that he doesn't find out of that until you've reached enough people with that. Once you have enough people on your side, it'll be close to impossible for him to actually do what he threats to.
Money is always money, I myself come from fairly poor family so I know that. But it's still only money, and it doesn't sound like your life depends on that amount he has lend from you. As for going to court, you would ruin his life, as I think you'd have a good chance of winning the case. But do you yourself want to ruin someone's life for $125? Personally I wouldn't. But you still would want your money back, so my opinion would be to keep annoying him about the money, while dropping the nice guy style that you seem to have.

^This. A single punch will cost him far more than the 125$, not to mention, it'll only further establish his reputation as someone not to lend cash to.Daveman said:
edit: alternatively, yeah, you could go to the cops for him threatening you, it's quite a valid reason. If he tries to beat you up after that, he'll just be immediately implicated.
If you think you can take him, tell a few more people so it can be self defense when you kick his ass. That is, if you can't get your money back.
As helpful as the police would be in this senario, I don't think they'd really care about $125 missing/not being paid back. They'd probably just sneer and say "you're a big college boy, deal with it". That, and the fact I'm awaiting court date for underage drinking wouldn't look very good on my record (I'd imagine).
A theft is a theft, no matter the amount, and it seems to me that the guy you borrowed money to, doesn't want to pay you back, hence fulfilling the requirements of theft. And you can also get the police onto him for the threatening, in other words, harassing, which should win the police onto your side. I dont know how the legal system works in whatever country you're in, though.Hallow said:
Dude you need to hop the fuck off my nuts. You act like 125 is breaking your damn bank.. I have to pay for ------ cell bill, her rent, her kids clothes, her gas.. I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT SHIT TO PAY FOR. why do you think i never have money. you need to hop the fuck off nutsack i will pay you when i fucking pay you. ask me again and you will never see it. stop fucking harrasing me.
Ironically he broke up with his gf an hour or so ago. But this is like the 5th time they've done that, so I'll just wait an hour before they most likely get back together. If not, then I guess he doesn't have more important shit to pay for (but reminding him of that at this point would just throw salt in the wound). The only real reason I'm riding him so hard about this (other than it's been a month and he told me one day he had the money and to call him, I did and he never answered, neither the next day) is because he said he's gonna try to transfer next semester. And if he did I know he'd never pay me back.
(BTW, I really appreciate all the help you guys have provided so far)

Tell people who will back you in a fight. Then tell everyone. He'll look like a ***** if he doesn't try to follow through with what he said. And then even if he does, then thats where you have the people backing you to jump in, if need be. Honestly, I don't know how many people I've run into like this. And 9/10 of them didn't follow through with their threats, and the other 1/10 can't even fight. Trust me people like this are nothing to deal with. Oh, and I always got my money back.
He's just trying to string you along long enough for him to get out without having paying you back, as well as making a rather pitiful attempt at getting you to just let him keep the money out of pity. I'd suggest going to the cops and informing them of assault threats towards you, on top of theft, which is what taking your money and refusing to pay you back amounts to. And they're the fucking cops, it's their job to deal with shit like this, they don't get to decide that they don't want to deal with this, so don't try and use that as an excuse to not go to them.Hallow said:
If you go to the cops all of the other people that he's ripped off may come out of the woodworks and get him in even deeper shit after words, which would just be the icing on top of the cake. He's obviously manipulating scum, don't feel bad for fucking his cheap ass over.
I say, keep on him about it anyway. If he follows through on the threat and says he's not going to pay you at all, just start telling people about it. Clearly he isn't fond of that so you will achieve one of three things.
1) He'll grow up and actually pay you back the money, or
2) He'll be humiliated by his friends for being a mooch, or
3) He'll actually try to fight you, in which case you can
---a) Call the cops
---b) Let his friends know he beat up the guy he mooched off of for having the gall to want to be paid back, and his reputation goes to shit
Seems like a win any way you go.

Sneak attack. Come at him from behind when he least suspects, ideally with a group of friends, and beat the ever-loving shit out of him. search through his pockets, take whatever he has, and tell him he has a week to come up with the rest or you'll be back to break his kneecaps. And be sure to tell him to pay interest.
That was, of course, fecetious. I say let it go. Not worth the effort to fight the guy. Though you should definitely tell everyone you know what an ass he is so no one loans him money anymore.

Judging by you saying you almost got in drunken fights, id recomend telling everyone, then trying your best should the inevitable fight come along. Or you could get some of his friends to march to his room/his location with you (public area seems better) and the handicap of his own friends on your side might force him to surrender.Hallow said:
But yeah, should the ifght come, try your best, it might be broken up before it gets too bad, and then youll get the followers, not him
If the cops did sneer at you, then the law enforcement is messed up where you live. Start a campaign for that iswell. It seems like your destiny to change the community for the better, first this guy, then the police, like some sort of chosen one.Blackdra said:
...sorry, mind went away with me then.
He threatened you? Fantastic! Take a trip to the police station and explain things to them. If they don't do anything about it, tell EVERYONE about the money. Then once he does come and beat you up, walk back into the police station and say 'Hey remember how I came to you guys with this problem? Well he followed through'.
Bam, he gets arrested.
Bam, he gets arrested.
Well, he said if you told anyone he'd beat you up, so you should tell everyone. Show him that a) you aren't going to take his shit, and b) you want what's yours. And make sure that if/when he wants to meet with you, tell him to bring the money, and you bring along a bunch of people with video cameras so that if he starts something, it's all on tape and ready to be given to appropriate authorities. You didn't start this, but you should sure as hell end it.
Tell him you're free to say whatever you want, and that includes venting out to other people about his behavior.
So unless he pays you back, you'll continue venting your frustrations of his behavior to other people, because this is how you deal with stress.
Also, he's clearly bluffing. Tell him that a 'fight' will only get him into deeper problems.
