What would you do in this situation?

Here is a scenario question about how to fight this situation cleverly and wittily.

My girlfriend and her boyfriend met a couple at a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament. They got along well at first, despite the two occasionally noticing something about them. But at some point, they weren't happy about it at all, because a major incident occurred, which is unforgivable. (That's what happens when you briefly become friends with Nazis and mentally unstable people…)

And her boyfriend lets her lead him, exploiting her body for his own needs. Even for their shared infant.

This has been confirmed several times by many people, that the couple isn't quite right in the head, and that there have been problems before.

My girlfriend and her boyfriend weren't into it at first, as they were more focused on other things. Gaming, Yu-Gi-Oh, cosplay, and more. But as they talked more, it got a little worse: the man had eyes for other women. He likes to cheat. And his current girlfriend doesn't notice, because they're not exactly bright.

Now what we really wanted to ask here is how one could act once one has separated?

The couple has been owing money to my friend and her boyfriend for two months. And the two don't get along well at all.

(The jealous girlfriend owes this)15€ to my girlfriend's boyfriend and (The boyfriend owes this)11.50€ to my girlfriend.

There is evidence that they both owe my friends money…

The two want to act as quickly as possible, since the couple hasn't given them the money yet. My friends aren't quite sure how to proceed in this situation. But their gut feeling tells them the following course of action: "Caution, cleverness, quick-wittedness, strong-willedness."

In this situation, it's important to remain calm and communicate clearly. First, your friends should set a clear deadline for repaying the money. They can put this in writing and inform the couple that they will take further action if the deadline isn't met. If the money is still not repaid, they can consider legal action, such as issuing a reminder or consulting a lawyer. It's important that they remain objective and consistent in their efforts to enforce their claims.

If I understand correctly, it's €26.50, and that's split between two debtors. That eliminates the need for a lawyer and a reminder notice, unless you want to throw (a lot more) good money after bad. I would simply forget about them and their debts.
