I really don't want to be bitter, but he was in between jobs and I held everything down until he did get his job. Now that he has gotten his job and everything, we have broke up and he still hasn't paid the light bill. Any thoughts. My original thought is to just let it go.

if that was the original agreement then stick with it. tell him you have went out of your way too much and too long to make sure he was comortable and you paid the lights, now its his turn to pay you back. be tough about it, otherwise he will not take you seriously and he will not pay it. keep his stuff yeah. its kind of harsh, but so is life by yourself and paying bills by yourself. he should be man enough to pay it anyways without you asking since he aggreed to it before. just because you two broke up doenst mean he should be in the clear now. thats just like him saying "now that we arnt together screw you and your bills and what ever you have done for me in the past or what we agreed upon before." and thats just like a man to do that kind of thing, so hold his stuff until you get the payment. box up his things and hide them someplace. do not invite him in your house anymore either. if he comes over walk outside with the phone in your hand and close the door so if any kind of trouble happens you can call the police. but seperate him from his stuff, until he pays you. if you have to...tell him his stuff is in a storage building until he pays you, then he wont think to try and get into your house to get it forcefully or whatever. just to be on the safe side. always be on the safe side. good luck.

Have you told him to pay the bill, and how much it is? it seems a small issue if it is less than a couple hundred. He should give you the money or pay the bill RIGHT AWAY. Whose name is the bill in? If it's in yours, you are still responsible whatever he does, but if you make it clear that you want him to do this as a gesture of good faith, hopefully he will if he is a gentleman.

Legally you can't hold his stuff. I know how tempting that can be however when you feel like you have been taken advantage of. As a matter of fact I have done it myself and it did work. It could cause a lot of problems though. I would remind him about he light bill but I don't think I would keep him from his stuff.

i think of the single and purely question right it is....Is he paying newborn help? If he's paying newborn help, then he truthfully should not be paying the different costs for her. If he's no longer paying newborn help, then it would probable be the main suitable undertaking to do. newborn help is desperate as much as cover costs like those. it is unlucky becase there are youthful babies in touch, yet whilst the whole kinfolk lives jointly such as you're saying they do, then i'm specific somebody pays those costs at last. Like I reported, no longer your husband's concern till he does not pay newborn help.

You can't legally hold his things. What you can do is take him to small claims court if you have a note with him aknowledging that he is resposible for the light bill, however if the bill is in your name and it is not paid they will hurt YOUR credit if you wait for a judgement of that. I would see if it's worth it. If not, chalk it up to experience and you won't do it again.

If you want it to be all the way over, let it go and pay the bill yourself. And don't let him come get his stuff- you take it to a designated spot, maybe his families house and drop it off without any contact with him

well see this is where stuff gets tricky. most people would say to just let it go but I am a stickler for keeping your word. I would let him know that he does need to pay it regardless if your not together anymore or not because he said he would. until then i wouldnt hold his stuff because that will just make him mad and if there is any important papers or whatever in there you could be charged with theft

If the bill is in your name, pay it! if it's in his name, let it go. Don't ruin your credit because you are upset about the bill. If it's in both your names, take him to small claims court and collect for it.
Good luck.

you didnt sign anything making his things collateral for the light bill so the answer is no....either sue him in small claims court...IF you can prove you had a verbal agreement for him to pay.....or be happy to be rid of this bum who dosent live up to his responsibilities
