Please tell me you aren't in the wedding party?

But then again if you are, easier to sabotage the event

Use your imagination. Computers make fabricating letters so easy. How about sending a letter from a medical lab confirming her case of VD?

Seriously, even if you decide not to go through with any of your ideas, just planning them can be cathartic and give you a much needed laugh.
Love this idea. It's a great fantasy but(sigh) not something I would do.

But I can dream about it a LOT!

No gift from me.... Funeral wreaths were an idea for a few minutes.

However, if I make $56K a year, and have a paid off home, no student loans or other non-discharged debt, I will not qualify for a chapter 7 because I have disposable income.
I see. I have a friend who filed for Chapter 7 and the Judge refused so then she filed for Chapter 13 and was refused once again. She's only making $52,000/yr. but had acquired a lot of debt (not sure as she wouldn't give me the full details but it was way over her ability to pay it back), but since she had a full time job, the Judge wasn't allowing it so she couldn't get the debts written off or have a forced payment plan.

I guess I was trying to give the OP some hope that maybe she won't get away with not repaying his debt like she'd like to. And I'm surprised that someone would want to marry a person who cons people into giving her money. :P

Just goes to show there's someone out there for everyone.

And in the interest of honesty, I don't BELIEVE she never intended to pay me back. I think she did. But the more I read about BK, the more I learn. You can't give preferential treatment to one debt over another or pick and choose who you don't want to pay.

BUT most people don't screw their friends either.

I saw a picture of her ring today and I think she could pay me back twice with what it cost. Beautiful. Platinum and diamonds. Must be nice.

You're not evil enough.

I'd sleep with the groom, then demand 7K in hush money.

Once the sting wears off you will find there is a happy medium. We NEVER loan money or cosign but we have gifted money on occasion, after much thought and consideration. No strings attached, no possibility of sore feelings or anyone being taken advantage of.
I'm sorry your friend is such a louse and that you had to learn a $7000 lesson but don't let this experience stifle your generous spirit.

Maybe at the time she borrowed the money, she had good intentions but changed her mind once she thought she could get away with it?

Yeah, I'd be irritated too if I saw someone wearing a beautiful Platinum and Diamond ring who tried to 'weasel' their way out of repaying their debt to me. Too bad you can't invite her over and then she during that time goes to wash her hands and somehow leaves the ring on your bathroom sink. "Uhh what ring? I didn't see any ring!"

Or this can work too.

Be patient and you will probably get your money back. I lent a bunch of money to a friend one time and he moved out of town. Several years later he stopped by and paid me double what he had borrowed.

Had he filed bankruptcy also ?

I've known a few deadbeats who filed bankruptcy.

Never knew a single one who re-payed a debt after bankruptcy erased it.
