<p>You only have to do a simple transaction. You have to create an address (for example, this one (which is mine): 1CnCc2Dp35BZboHE8AZvoyrQXCFFaHUvTZ) and tell him to transfer Bitcoins to that address.</p>

You and your friend need to agree on the bitcoin-to-fiat exchange rate, and assuming he/she is already in possession of the required amount of bitcoins, he can just send those bitcoins directly to your bitcoin wallet.

If you don't yet have a bitcoin wallet you can just download one, like multibit (<https://multibit.org/>‎), create a receiving address and give it to your friend so he can send the bitcoins to you.

Once you receive the transaction, and after 3 or 4 confirmations from the bitcoin network, you can assume the debt is settled.

You dont have to pay anything for the transaction, but your friend need to pay the transaction fee.
