Charm13 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Here is the short version. I broke up with my boyfriend. He's claiming he gave me $500, I only have records of $200. Either way, he wants the money back now that we are broken up. At the time, he never stated it was a loan or that he wanted me to pay him back. We were living together in a house, sharing the bills. He never paid for groceries the whole time he lived there, and he ate a lot! He never gave money for some of the utilities either. I have no problem paying him back if it means he will quit contacting me. I guess I am just wanting to know if he would have a leg to stand on if he were to try to get the money back. Any advice is gladly welcome I'm hurt that he would come after more after I already gave him so much
harmfulsweetz Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 If he didn't state that he wanted it back at the time of giving it to you, no he doesn't have a leg to stand on. It was a gift you could say. And gifts you gave and have no right to have returned. I would give him only the 200 you think you owe him, no more, he could be conning you. But you shouldn't have to give him anything. If you lived together, and he didn't pay his share for the groceries-well that was his share. Say it's either he writes of his debt to you with wiping off yours to him, or you pay him back and he pays you back.
Author Charm13 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for responding. Your signature made my day. That's what I was thinking. However, I doubt he will see it that way. Ugh.
AnthonyMalibu Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Your ex sounds like the biggest loser in the world. Legally, as Sweetz says, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Watch Judge Judy... this stuff happens all the time, and she laughs at these people. __________________ Why did God create women? Because dishes don't wash themselves.
harmfulsweetz Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Well, just say you ain't getting your money until I see my money! At the end of the day, contracts weren't drawn up, and it was a gift. Legally, he can't argue with that. You don't get refunds on gifts I'm afraid to tell him that. And AnthonyMalibu-I like your take on my sig Although we now have dishwashers for that! lol.
AnthonyMalibu Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Hehe... you're right about the dishwashers, Sweetz. And as you can guess, I was only joshin' you on the sig.
