Do I owe my exgirlfriend money legally?

Question

We werent married and we made a lot of purchases together. And a lot of them were on her credit cards. A lot were cash from money I made. I was woking at paying her back. Now its getting ugly and may go to court. Do I legally owe?

the goods are concerts, computer she has, plane tickets, food, apartment together, stuff like that all purchases were for the two of us. when we split she kept some things i kept others but there is no way to weigh how much we kept of goods not on the card. there are some large items like i mentioned. we were together less than 3 years. I would pay her back but if she makes it all ugly and cutthroat i may find my self defending and definitaly less willing. reasonable actions get reasonable results, and unreasonable actions get unreasronable ones the same.

Can I make her pay me back for what I paid for, I worked like crazy the whole time saving, paying the bills, and fun etc,

Answer 1

it depends did she ever say it was loan did she ever expect you to pay it back if so then yes you may have to pay her back.

Answer 2

Morally yes,legally you better ask a lawyer. Instant Karma might catch up with you down the line. Don't be a chump but do what is morally right. Also by asking this question you already know what the answer is, do what is right, you will not regret it- and because " things are getting ugly" is no excuse not to keep paying her back Also the next relationship you get into - you won't go into it bitter but with an open heart & open wallet. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Nope you don't. Anyone who has a credit card is legally responsible for their spending of it UNLESS they have a written contract or promissory note to state they are using the card to buy joe bloggs a car etc and it is signed by both parties. You obviously spent cash so have no paper trail. Cut her out, ignore her and hopefully she will go away.

Answer 4

nope u dun owe anything ( in the eyes of law )
1. cos this purchase is made on HER credit cards (unless u use a suplementary card den u owe legally)
2.u said u were using cash so there is nothin against u (unless u borrow money from bank)

Answer 5

Actually, you do. Unless you can prove that YOU made purchases for the two of you that equal or exceed the amount charged to her credit accounts, you'll be held liable for your share. Especially since she can show that you started to repay the debts. The shows that you acknowledged the debts and made some payment if not full payment on them.
Good Luck.

Answer 6

I don't know about legally, but my opinion is that she made the mistake of putting the debt in her own name and she should wear it. Who has the goods that were purchased? If you have the goods you may pay her back for moral reasons, but if she has it she should kiss her money goodbye and cut her losses

Answer 7

if u are a responsible man and u are a good christian u supposed to know what the bible said concerning that man is the head of woman even if u used her money to buy those thing and u promised to return it there nothing that stop u from return it now that u are not in good term try as much as posible to return the money. remeber the good term u have spent together

Answer 8

Yes, you do,if she can prove that the money was used for your own purchases. Morally, if you agreed before, then you should honour your obligation, even though things are getting (ugly). These are two different issues and you shouldn't mix them up.

Answer 9

Depends, if u both agreed to spend it together or it's just you that who owns the goods. Was it for your expense only? If yes, you does owe her.

Answer 10

if your in the uk its whoever signed or has there name to the credit agreement that is liable for the debt.she would have to prove that you benefited from the money owing otherwise

Answer 11

.....just because the cc is in her name doesnt mean that you didnt have your part,,,,,,then again...what did the money go on? is it items purchased or cash withdrawals?....it really depends on that...and how long was you 2 together?
