The two people are best friends and roommates.The names have been changed to protect the innocent:
Mary says to Cathy - Oh I saw the electric bill came in, how much do I owe you?
Cathy says dont worry about it now, I will tally everything up and let you know.
2 weeks go by and on Wedesday Cathy calls Mary frantically saying 'I paid the bill and you owe $XXX. Hurry I need this $$$ from you because the bill is due today. Mary says I am working till late (11pm) tonight and cant get to the bank. I wish you gave me more notice.
The next day, Thurs, Mary says to Cathy, I have the $$ and will meet you at your job at 2:00. Cathy says ok good I really need the $$$. Mary goes there and Cathie is not at work and does not answer her cell phone. After awhile Mary leaves and never gets the money to Cathy. (PS they are roommates but work opposite schedules.)
Now its Friday and Cathie finds out her bank charged her two overdraft fees for $35.00 each becuase she wrote a bad check and had no money in her account. Cathie is furious and tells Mary. Mary doesnt think its her fault.
Another day goes by and more overdrafts for a total of 3-4 overdrafts. Mary still doesnt think its her fault because Cathy took too long to tell her the $$ was due. Cahty wants the overdraft money from Mary and is now in a fight over it.
What should Mary do??? Or what would you do?
Also on a side note - Mary thinks Cathy isnt good with money and just bought a $100 pocketbook that she didnt have $$ for! Not her business but maybe she would have had money in her acct if she didnt buy the purse!

Re: Poll - What would you do in this situaiton.
Ok here is an update:
Cathy called her bank again and got 3 of the fees waived (she called once and they said no). So now she only owes $35. She sent Mary a note saying I got most of the fees waived so now you only owe me $15. Mary still thinks it is wrong but is just giving up at this point!
