Wants me to replace her glasses for $185.
Her husband is the one who sent me the message. And states if I don't contact him by 5pm he's going to have to file a lawsuit
I haven't admitted to anything nor have I contacted him back

How you move about this depends on how much you value the relationship with your friend. Although it sounds like maybe her husband is more of a problem here.

Sue them for what? If the house was sold, you have no insurable interest in the property, even if you are still paying premiums on it. You would essentially double-dip if you already received the sale proceeds, and now you were to receive the insurance payout. That's like insuring your... View More
