Hazen is a decent person
Is it cable or hydraulic disc brakes? If it's cable just tighten it up in the lever that pulls on the rear caliper. It will probably be a long threaded rod that comes from the brake pedal with a nut on it. Turn the nut clockwise until then tighten up to where you want.
Goodluck.
