    You do need to get something in writing from him so that you have a contract otherwise you risk him saying that you actually owe him more than what you repay.

    Whilst you are keen not to have any contact whatsoever (and I do sympathise having been in the same position) you will need to sort this out. Rather than get into further agreements with friends I think in your position, I would contact my bank. The amount you would wish to borrow (either by loan or overdraft) is not huge. This would be properly documented and you could arrange for the money to be paid directly to him providing evidence that you have met your commitment.

    Could you bring this up on 10 August - he might have calmed down by then.
  • Hi and thanks, when i say a friend I mean a female friend that I have known for 20+ years who i would trust with my life, she is my childrens non- related 'auntie', so really no issues there about out of the 'frying pan into the fire'.
    I have written proof via bank statements/garage receipts to prove what the car cost and how much my ex contributed so no problem there either. It has all been complicated today as I received a phone call from his solicitor to ask if we could come to some agreement 'out of court' regarding the injunction. He has also apparently told the solicitor that he wishes to have 'items' returned to him, she will be sending me a list. We do not have any jointly owned property so it would apear that he will be requesting items bought as presents when we were co-habiting. He actually moved out last year, and owns his own home, so i don't know if i can argue that if he wanted specific items he should have taken them then ????? the plot thickens.
