Got divorced 6 years ago. In divorce all ICB reports were presented and we had a joint overdraft with a bank for 6400. We were both ordered to pay our halves of same. I straight away started paying my part off in increments, advised him when I had finished and thought he would do same. He did not. Upon engaging the bank for a transfer of my ex off my mortgage they have found that there is still 3200 owed and as my name is attached to it the bank would like it paid before the final drawdown of mortgage. My ex of course is thrilled that he is getting away with yet another outstanding bill but I do not have 3200 to pay so wondering if I rang the bank would they take a lesser amount? I am not one to shirk my bills and responsibilities but between solicitors fees and a whole pile of other stuff to get my ex off my mortgage I really am starting to be completely out of money and I am sick of forever carrying the can for him. I know on a normal basis I could ring and haggle with them and just say fine, I wont pay anything as you clearly arent getting anything out of my ex anyway but I actually need to have this bill at a zero balance to drawdown new mortgage.
Help?!!!!
