If someone has offered to pay your bills and then takes you to small claims

[hollywood]

if he never wrote out a contract for the money it wont be very easy for him. have a witness if you have one that may help. wt a jerk

 

[Kell]

court over it, do you have rights? I have been unemployed for several months and ex-boyfriend has been paying for my bills because he offered (an unfortunate mistake) and now he is asking for all of it back...do I have any rights in this situation? What can I do?

 

[harry g]

only if you signed a note to repay the money other wise it is a gift

if you have any kind of written agreement to this fact, that would help your case..consult a lawyer

 

[kaydid]

he won't get any thing he has no paper saying that you pay him back he will just be wasting his time

 

[savy94]

did u ever get him to right a note or have any witnesses who heard him say this. if not im not sure what else you can do

 

[who cares]

Please tell me you got something in writing saying it was a gift and not a loan...if not don't worry too much about it. Unless he has something in writing saying it was a loan and not a gift, he's in the same boat you are. In order for him to sue, you have to have had an agreement to pay it back in first place.
In the future, don't accept gifts of money from people, make your own way, or borrow from a bank. Free-loading nearly always has a negative outcome for someone involved, either the free-loader (in this case you) or the one paying for stuff (your ex) gets burned.
