Left my ex girlfriends house and left my furniture am i ititiled to it?

Question

I have the receipts to the furniture. it less than 5 months old please help me need help?

Answer 1

If you can prove it was not a gift to her and you purchased them with only your money then maybe

Answer 2

From the non-interventionist point of view:

They say posession is nine tenths of the law. Therefore the burden of proof is on you to show not only you purchased the goods, but that they belong wholly and solely to you. Your actions provide some of the proof, as much as the receipts.

In addition, how long ago did you leave the furniture? Because if it's been a while, your girlfriend could claim you gave them to her then changed your mind, or didn't want them (abandonment), or that at the very least they were shared.

Are you sure you wouldn't be better off just leaving her with the furniture? If she's really vindictive, she could use the opportunity to claim you gave her the furniture and are simply chasing her as a means to harrass her, as a counter claim. The burden of proof is on you, since the goods reside with her.

Be careful on this one, and consult the CAB free http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/winnn6/index/getadvice
it is a free service, they can advise you if it's worth seeking a solicitor, or seeking action through the claims court.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Definitely, if you have the receipts then surely you have proof of ownership, and as you were living there it was not a gift to her. I suggest you turn up on her doorstep with another male friend or two, and ask to speak to her. When she opens the door, go inside and tell her you and your mate(s) are taking your furniture which belongs to you. It is always a last resort to go to the courts, and if you turn up unexpectedly rather than doing so, you are more likely to get your furniture back undamaged, in case she is a vindictive person. If she is not a greedy vindictive person you might try just asking her for your furniture back, but if she is, try it my way first.

Answer 4

If you have receipts you damn right its yours! Talk to her and let her know you'd like to schedule a time when you can come by and pick up your furniture. (make this as business-like as possible) If she gives you a hard time then you'll probably have to call the cops to be escorted. Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes you are entitled to your furniture. Go ahead, call her and ask her as to when you can drop by and pick it up. If you still have the keys to the house, call her and let her know the day and time you will be going by to pick up the furniture.

Answer 6

Depending on what state you're in, you might be able to get the police to accompany you to the house so that you can claim your belongings.

If not, then you can probably get it back through small claims court. I don't think you need a lawyer for small claims court.

Whatever you do, though, don't lose those receipts!

Answer 7

It might turn into a very complex and costly court case , just buy some new furniture it will be cheaper in the long run.

Answer 8

if you were the guilty party meaning was there someone else involved then you should, if it was amicable then ask for it back at least some of it if she cheated on you take the lot good luck

Answer 9

It is you belongings you have so long to get the but they belong to you and if she destroys them the she should have to pay for them. If she don't the just take her to court.

Answer 10

if you were the one who bought them with your money then yes your entitled to them...they are yours...just go over there with a truck and pick them up...if she puts up a fight...take her to peoples court...they will make her give them back...
