loan help please
Hello I am really hoping someone can give me some advice. I was with my partner for approx 18 months, he lived in my home for the last 10 months and paid some monies towards day to day living. In September he told me he was taking a loan out as he had some bills he needed to pay and also towards our wedding. I found this strange as he had no bank accounts at all ( he said he had never needed them!!!) so he then told me he was going to ask his mum for the loan as he had all his wages paid into her building society for which he had the card. His mum agreed to the loan, he then asked if he could have the money paid into my sons account who is 19 years old because rather than him taking the money out at £200 per day my son could withdraw it all and give it to him.My son agreed and his mum paid the cheque into my sons account and it is shown it was withdrawn later in full. Now here comes the problem although money was then given to my ex partner and he made the payments from his wages from his mums account we have now split up rather nastily i would say with harassements orders being taken out. My ex partner has denied all knowledge of the money and basically called me a thief and that his family are taking my son to court if i don't pay it back (I never had it!!!) I am now demented with worry my son has aspergers and a/ couldn't cope with court and B/ doesn't have any money. Please help and give some advice. Many Many thanks.

While they might threaten you with court action. Ignore it. As from what you've said there's no evidence on your son's part of wrong doing.
Court isn't the place to arbitrate family disputes. Judges have better things to do with their time.0 -
If in the unlikely event it did go to court and the even more unlikely event that the judge found against your son, he would likely end up having to pay a quid a week or something like that if he has no assets and a low/no income.0
