When my cousin crashed our rental car, I was left with a $5,000 bill and spent months trying to get her to pay me back. Just as I gave up, I saw her flaunting her ‘success’ on social media and discovered I wasn’t the only one she owed. Karma caught up to her, and I got a front-row seat!
A year after the disastrous holiday, I still felt the sting of the debt. Debra, supposedly an accountant, racked up the huge damage charge. As the rental was under my name, I was stuck with the bill.
Months of excuses and empty promises from Debra left me frustrated. The financial strain affected my work and personal life. Then, I saw Debra flaunting a new, expensive necklace online. Others she owed commented angrily. The next day, she called, panicked about creditors and legal threats. Finally, she sold her car and paid me back. Karma taught Debra a lesson, and I learned to stand up for myself.
