If that doesn't work, or if he tries to argue about it, then I suggest sending him a bill - an actual letter, in the mail, stating that he owes you $40.00 and that your breakup doesn't change that.
Pursuing it any further than that would probably not be worth the money. If he doesn't pay after that, I suggest you drop it - but feel free to tell your mutual friends that he can't be trusted with a loan.
In other words, pursue exactly the same course as any creditor: talk first (though they usually call instead of just showing up), then get collections involved, and then eventually write it off and put a black mark on your credit report. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
