Actually that's the basic thing that you could do, but if you are already earning and capable of paying, I think it's a little awkward to ask help from parents, we all know that they too need money for their living. The same with friends, we know that they too might not have an extra cash...The best is to just make a loan on bank..
Banks will kill you with their high interest. If it is just a few hundred dollars, then it is better to loan from friends or family. Just be sure you to pay them the soonest time possible. It will be awkward if they start unfriending you on facebook because you do not pay debts.
