Q: My ex thegirlfriend two years ago gave me money from what she told me was her savings account to get my car fixed $3000
Total $3000 turns out the money I believed to be her personal funds was actually a personal loan from the bank that she did not disclose. Now two years later the loan was paid back and she’s insisting I pay her back. Nothing is in writing and my name was not listed as a borrower nor did we establish id be able to pay back that money. Am I responsible to pay back money she borrowed and paid back even though had I known she had to borrow it I would’ve told her not to? Also she helped me with groceries when my hours were cut at work with $150 and now she’s adding that to the grand total even though I’ve fed her every time I came to see her and watched her kids that aren’t mine for free when she had to work and I did things for her financially can she actually sue me for that? We aren’t together anymore by the way
A: If you agreed to pay her back, then you owe her the money and she might be able to sue to get a judgment.
A: It's difficult to say who the court would sympathize with here - as it looks like there might be conflicting accounts of what took place here. Good luck
