YART (Roommate thread) lying roommate

me and my buddy (my buddy still lives there infact) used to share an apartment with the person in question , lets call him S


S had all the utilities in his name (since we moved in with him), everymonth we used to get on an average gas/electricity bill of 90 apiece

S kept charging us (me and my buddy) 90 each instead of splitting it into 3


this happened for almost 6-7 months

everytime we questioned S he used to keep making excuses such as in the Winter we consume more gas coz of the heater and in the summer we use the A.C more


well after 5-6 months i hd a look at the bills (and ordered the past bills too subsequently) and the truth came out (ya we were lazy as hell and trusted this dirtbag way too much), about how S never paid the bill for 3 months while he charged us and at the end of 3 months again asked us to pay for the past 3 months


this amount over the last 7-8 months comes to 350 apieace (700 b/w me and my buddy (rommie))


S promised to pay and i moved out of the house/city right after that coz i got a job


now S wont pay, wont respond any emails, wont answer my calls and doesnt look like hez gonna pay


also S took deposit (350 each from me and my buddy) and wont return me that either


its too far for me to go and confront him (my buddy who still lives there is too meek to do ne thing about it)

wat do i do?

S and me went to the same school and S is kinda well known coz of some cultural crap he takes part in , should i expose him on a school newsgroup maybe?
 
you were told that gas and electricity came out to $270 per month and you didn't question it for 6-7 months??? I don't think you're ready to live on your own, move back in with mom & dad.

ok

well it wasnt exactly 270 but yeh he pretty much charged as he wished, maybe ur right, we were just plain dumb (too busy with school), or just ignorant, leason well learned i suppose

but how do i deal with it now
 
For that amount, I myself would forget about it and mark it up to one of those lessons in life. Of course I would have nothing to do with this guy again. I wouldn't try "getting even" or anything as that will just bring you down to his level. Remember life is but for a brief instant, how you handle things in life, and what you leave behind will be what's remembered.

Agreed. You allowed yourself to be taken advantage of, so I'd just forget about it. Karma will come around and bite this guy in the ass eventually. Just take this as a lesson that you can't trust everyone to not dick you around.

I don't even want to think about how you extract payment from someone's ass.

Never read The Merchant of Venice?

"I'll have my bond!"
 
Simple. Either confront him and force him to give you your money or drop the matter. Stewing over it won't help matters or yourself any.
 
1. Certified letter stating what is owed to you and you want it in 1-2 weeks

2. If he does not pay, then file in small claims court .



Done and done

true

i just maield him again in a last ditch effort to see if he has any decency at all left in him, lets see, if not then so be it i guess
 
After I found out he was screwing me, I wouldn't have paid until he paid extra an equal amount what he took from you. I'd be surprised if he was willing to ruin his credit over that.

the reason he did all this was hez screwed financially to being with, 10-15k in cards, unpadi phone bills, and still spending like he make 90k a year, it was a bad decision to move in with this guy without knowing him well

Screw me once, shame on you.
Screw me twice, shame on me.

You saw a trend and did nothing. It's his financial problems. I would have said TFB if he couldn't pay his bills in the first place.
