    When you say you offered to pay half - how did you do this? in writing? or verbally?

    The loan from the bank is theirs to pay or their credit rating to be trashed.
    They could possibly, as a seperate issue, try taking you to court for the money they lent to you - but very unlikely anything would stand up in court.

    I think you have done enough as the outstanding amount must only be 2k and you are still paying maintenance when you split the debts should have gone 50:50
