Do I owe her any money

Tell her to get stuffed, she sounds like a !!!!!!.

I would tell her to blow in no short order.

I no longer have the preoperty because I sold it for far less than I bought it just so I didnt have a mortgage I have no gone into rented accomodation, she tried to get me to sign the house to her which has never been in her name. I have numerous texts asking her to collect furniture she bought but she kept telling me no. I told the court all this when I was sent a letter and that at no point was the money she gave me was a loan as we were meant to be living together otherwise why would I have taken the cash if she wanted it back. It is currently going through a fast track no with stoke court. She has sent me all her statements for atm withdrawels, money at supermarkets and she has even outlined one for aftershave she bought me. I have never asked for my tv, nintendo wii or birthday and xmas presnts she bought but with it going through court im concerned I will have to pay

i lived with gf yrs ago, my house my mortgage, she helped bilsl with her wage, gave it in my hand, 2 yrs later we split up, i sold house, she went.
i spoke to friend and he said she could ask for a percentage of the sale of the 2 yrs profit i made less the percentage she paid towards household bills/mortage even if it wasnt in writing, she was too daft, and i never heard from her again.

Maybe she wasn't daft and prefers peace of mind rather than some money, so she cut off contact rather than fighting over a few extra quid?

Anyone can take anyone to court for any reason - the joys of the small courts. Great when you need them but otherwise it gives nutters like this something to do I suppose.

She sounds like a fruit loop and very bitter that you are not together anymore so is using this to try and get the last word. It could also be to scare you into paying her money. Fight it, she'll need to pay another £100 to get it before the judge so if she is *that* desperate for money she won't be able to afford it anyway. Then it'll be down to the judge to decide if she gets any money back. But he will probably think the same as us - that she is a few grapes short of a bunch and tell her pretty much the same as we have told you here.

God, if I claimed everything back from friends I had spent money on or blokes I'd have been out with I'd probably be able to sue for 30k. And everyone will be doing it. Hopefully the judge is going to make her realise that she is being a stupid girl and send her on her way, £130 down because of court costs.

She is going to be pretty embarrassed when she looks back in 10 years time and thinks of the nutty stuff she did when younger to try and prove a point.

However, on a serious note, do not let emotions get in the way of your response. Send them facts and that the money was not a loan, there was never any loan agreement, this was simply that your girlfriend chose to live in your house and helped contribute with bills and buy you gifts. Had she lived elsewhere she would also have had rent to pay, she cannot claim that back because she has chosen to move out because she no longer likes the neighbours.

Good luck. And be thankful it was only 2 years. Are you in a union - you will have access to a solicitor. Also if you have legal assistance on your house/car insurance - this might well be time to use it.

Exactly, you were meant to be living together.

You might also point out when it gets to court that she has been selective about the items she wants money for as you have asked her to collect her items yet she refuses, she just wants money. She clearly needs a set amount for some reason.

I am pretty sure the judge will throw it out of court but when you are there tell him that if she wants the goods back then she can have them, but the bills incurred were for the payment of bills/food when you was living together as a couple.

Do you have a new girlfriend by any chance.....

And you'll find this is the reason. Sorry but to me it looked like she wanted the house cheap, you refused and she thought she would get back at you.

Did you buy it cheap and did she want it for market value or at the price left on your mortgage. How long did you have the property before she moved in? Basically, did she want you to 'give' her the property or did she want to buy it from you propetly. And more importantly, could she have afforded it?

It is not fast tracked as such, it is a case of 'Mr x owes memoney and I want to sue him for it' and you fill a form in. The court clerks will not stop her doing it, they will process the claim, it will be the judges job to tell her she is being a numpty.

Courts are there to untangle messes like this, but whatever she claims, you need to defend. Presents, aftershave will be discounted unless you specifically asked her to lend you the money to buy them, which you didn't.

I really suggest getting real legal advice here - see a solicitor before this goes too far.

Charge her storage for the furniture

Many great points made and extremley helpful at that. Just to clarify I owned the house from 2005 till 2010 I had it with my ex in joint names till 2007 then we split up and I took the mortgage in my name> Then I met Kate who is now trying to shaft me. We had planned on living together but she never moved in. I didnt live in the house for a while as mmy ex trashed it so spent alot of time decorating and was staying at my dads the day I did move in on the 5th November she dum,ped me by text. Any furniture she bought was for us to use when she moved in but she ended it and I have the texts from her refusing to take it back and wanting cash for everything. She did regualary put money in my account through her own free will but as I said it was because we were going to be living together. I sold my house for £23000 less than what I bought it for as I had had enough and wanted to just move on which I have done I only got a few thousand of the cash for myself. She visited my place of work and also sent her parents who gave me a ultamatum £7000 in 48 hours and this will stop. I refused as I have said all a long I dont owe you anything. I have legal advice with my bank I will use that
