Borrowed from a family member now they want interest!

I don't disagree, DGJsaver.
I just don't see that it is the aunt's place to dish out further punishment.

Fair play Jimmy , agreed on that this end to be fair mate , just hate the subject matter i guess

I really can't see the OP getting any more constructive help, so maybe its best to close the thread as it seems to have an effect on some members and maybe with good reason but the OP really came here for help which seems has dried up

A couple of years ago my brother was caught drink driving in a car that he wasn't licensed to drive and was fined for it. He didn't pay the fine so he had bailiffs chasing him for it so his girlfriends auntie agreed to pay this for him on her credit card, she said she would pay £508 on her card and my brother would pay her back at £40 per fortnight when he got his job seekers allowance and they both agreed that. Nothing was written down or anything like that, he's paid her £480 and now out of the blue she's demanding another £1000 as interest, she's claiming that the payments he's making aren't enough to cover her interest on HER credit card.

He's absolutely clueless about stuff like this and she's threatened him with the small claims court and he's so scared that he's considering declaring himself bankrupt.

He's not registered on here, can you just reassure me that this won't happen. I know it but he needs reassuring.

Cheers

Ok , can this be moved to general chat so that i can have a go at it properly....

Cheers for that, I'll let my dad know what a complete waste of space his son is and should be dead, oh and I'll tell my brother's daughter that as well.

If you haven't anything nice to say...

For heaven's sake! Your father will already know that - after all, he wasn't prepared to bail his son out, was he?

And your brother's daughter doesn't deserve a father who - even once - has driven whilst drunk and uninsured - if he hadn't been lucky enough to have been caught, it could well be that his daughter wouldn't even HAVE a father now - or he could have deprived some other poor child of a father.
