Ex Partner causing me Grief, please help!!! ( Loan )
Hello there,
My ex partner took out a loan in his name about 3 years ago, most of it was for his new car, to pay off an existing car, and to consolidate a few bills we both had etc household bills. So its in his name, and hes been making the payments himself since it started/also making them now
We split up a year ago, we have 2 kids together which both live with me, he has to pay maintenence through the CSA, currently he thinks hes paying too much but its only what the CSA say he has to pay, i did have an arrangement with him for a less amount but him and his new partner decided to cancel it without notice, and try change the claim as his partner had 3 kids of his own hoping he would have to pay less. During this he split with her and ended up having to pay even more, he suddenly wants to go back to the agreement which i refused based on his actions, the kids are lucky if he sees them once every 2-3 weeks and even then its for a few hours, he would rather watch football. Anyway back to my problem.
He is saying he has seen a solicitor since i wont adhere to his demands with the CSA, and that apparently im liable to pay half the loan that was taken out even tho he took out the Bank loan in his name, i never co signed it or had anything to do with it, he paid off his car loan, bought a new car, and spent a small sum on consolidating a few of our bills.
so basically unless i bow to his demands he is saying hes going to take me to court to pay for half his loan, even tho i dont drive or have never driven, so the car is nothing to do with me, not in my name, nothing.
so am i liable and does he have a case, or is he making it up to scare me into making his much lower Child Support payments.
any advice or help would be appreciated as im worrying over it.

No problem
I love it when you can tell someone who's threatening you they can go and take a running jump because actually they are powerless and it's all bluster.
So when he says he is going to take you to court tell him to do exactly that. Then he will go pay for a solicitor who will tell him he hasn't a hope in hell.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

i think im going to appreciate the look on his face tomorrow when he picks one of his kids up, and explain to him that i will look forward to hearing from his solicitor, and if he brings the kids into it, ill get sole custody of them so he can see them when the court arranges it, not when he feels like it etc when liverpool fc are playing.
thank you very much for your help!!!0 -
Pathetic ! I was on your side until I read that.
thats your opinion, but sometimes when the welfare and mental health of your kids is up for stake you dont have a choice. Men haven't got the right to act how they like. See your son, or watch liverpool fc on the tv?.....bet yould pick football over your children wouldn't you
but never mind, i came here for advice on the loan, not child welfare0 -

I typed quite a long reply then read the part about witholding contact and using your children as pawns and thought my sympathies were entirely misplaced. It certainly won't be you or him who misses out if your fued continues.
Suffice to say you won't be liable for his loans.
Sadly it seems you and him are both full of hot air threatening legal action neither of you know anything about. I'll expect his thread on 'can my ex partner stop me seeing my kids because I lied about a loan liability' to appear imminently. Don't worry he would get the same half hearted, tremendously disappointed-in-humanity reply.
Maybe you should just request all legal communications be sent to oneanother direct, so you do not have to both make up nutty stories about why you are not ever going to sue each other through imaginary solicitors?0
