Its a tricky one.

My advice from past experience is to treat the money issue very professionaly and completely separately from personal issues.

By this I mean that you should not mix the conversation about the money with your 'social' life. Until resolved, make special visits to ask if your freind could repay all or part of the monies owed. And then importantly leave once you have completed the discussion (whatever the outcome). If you stay and discuss more social and 'friend' things, the importance of the money issue becomes hazy and unclear, almost secondary to the meeting, and therefore your feelings and insistence on the matter will do also.

It will almost certainly also serve to highlight to the other party that this is a serious issue that is starting to come between you.

Hope that helps a little
Si
