About eight months ago, my husband and I bought a house from someone and we were told we did not have to pay any closing costs. The previous owners said they would. ($3000.00, I think.) Well, when we got there, the mortgage lady had apparently gave us the wrong information, and the seller said we had to come up with almost $900.00. We didn't have that much money on us so the seller said he would give us the money, and to pay us when we got the chance, and if we never got around to it then that was ok. Well, today I got a message on my answering machine from him saying that he was wondering if we were ever going to pay him because he had been waiting on us to call but we never did. Are we obligated to pay him? I had every intention on paying him, but money has been very tight lately, and Christmas is coming up and we don't have the extra cash. What should I do?
