Hi All, dunno if this is the rite thread but i have a question to ask.
I am no longer living with the father of my child, and when we were togther we rented a house. he claims to have given me the deposit and half of months rent in adance which is 850+425 approx 1200. this was three years ago!
After ten months he no longer lived there. Since then we have been on and off...and i eventually decided to move on and buy my own house, its an AF house so the process was slow.
Here is where its gets messy, i moved in with him until my house was ready and i paid him rent. ( we were not a couple) and he stopped paying me my maintenance. Now since i got the keys to my house he suddenly is demanding that i pay the 1200 or so that i owe him!!!
he has given me a week to come up with it or else he will take it out of my maintenance everyweek... this i really depend on. its 70/pw.
i have done the obvious and asked him for a withdrawal slip etc to prove he had that much money at the time.
He was not on any contract or lease agreement, its not in any writing anywhere that he even lived in the house.
but if he proves it at the time then i will repay it..
he is the father of my child and i dont want a bitter life with him...like it or not i have to deal with the man for another 15years so i really dont want a big drama. if anyone has any advice on how i can appraoch this it would be great
Sorry for the long post!!!
