writes: I broke up with my boyfriend five weeks ago. I'm just not speaking to him. After an argument I went to his place and left there the cell phone he was paying for me and other things and I have not spoken to him since. He always thinks he is right and I'm wrong and will do anything to evade confrontation with anybody as he has no character of personality and is very stubborn, so as I expected he hasn't even called me, text me or email me since. I know he is "alive" because he checks almost everyday into his 'myspace' account. The thing is that I was working with him and he owes me money. He did a contract with this person that stated that she would transfer to his bank account a small sum of money the first day of each month for the next four months. He is supposed to transfer to my bank account half of this money. It's the sixth of July already and I have not received the transfer to my bank account of $75.00. He also owes me $75.00 from next month so that's a total of $150.00 he owes me. He knows I'm unemployed and that I have been unemployed for a year now. And that's the man that told me less than two months ago that he 'loved me'. Yeah Right! Since I know his email passwords I think I can break into his online bank account and make the transfer myself. I also have the key to his office/apartment. Should I break into his bank account? I really really don't want to talk to him or see him or send him a notice because maybe that's what he wants. I just want my money because I need it.

 Do you want to go to jail? I didnt think so. Request the money up front and in person. If he refuses tell him you will take him to small claims court then proceed to do so.
Dont do any illegal acts because they WILL fall back on you.

 This plan sounds ridiculous. Would it work? It might. Is it worth? I'll ask you after you get convicted of the crime or crimes your contemplating.
Ask him nicely about the money. Putting your reputation omn the line is silly. Every once in a while we just need to accept a loss.

 Unfotunetly when couples split up and one lent money to the other there is no legal right of giving it back. My ex borrowed around £400 from me in total but I never saw a penny of it.
I wouldn't suggest breaking in to his account as his could do you for stealing. It is unfair as you lent him the money but unfortunetly life is a bit of a bitch sometimes. I had to walk away from my ex knowing I would never see the money again.
All I can suggest is you asking him to give back the money he owes. I know you said you don't want to speak to him, but it is the only legal way you can get it back :)

 If you know his bank account details then you could do it.
Now i'm not saying that i justify this as at the end of the day it is theft, but it is also money that is owed to you.
Email him about the money and ask him if he would be as kind as to transfer the money into your account, give him a couple of days and if he does not do it, then it's up to you.
I think it would be very difficult for anybody to prove that you done it as you would be logging in under his details so it would look as though he transferred the money.
It's your call.
Take care.xx.

If you do decide to do it, make sure you stick to your story like that he was the one who transferred it to you but having said that, it would probably be far easier, and better long-term for you, if you can at least get back on talking terms with him. It seems you aren't right for each other but that doesn't mean you have to end your relationship with hate and bitterness.
