Ex girlfriends credit card worries

pogofish

She's your ex for a reason obviously!

If you have some contribution to/share of her debt then it is absolutely fair of you to make arrangements to maintain or ideally pay-off that as quickly as you can reasonably manage.

But when it comes to extending her own existing debt or possibly run-up new debt, then no you are no longer in a relationship and there is little or nothing to stop her leaving you high and dry with her debts.

I'm just waiting on the OP to confirm his ex bought him a car and stuck it on her credit card.

This is his problem now - and if you don't feel good about the current situation, how much worse will you going to feel about being the person who bankrolls her having a high-old time with her new partner?

And quite frankly, from the other side of the coin. Beyond providing for any children or other practicalities of winding-up a prior relationship, if any new partner of mine was getting into an ongoing financial situation with an ex, well I would not be looking at them as any kind of long-term material.

Is it that person again? I didn't bother to check history.

I know I'm new to the forum, but you are coming across quite rude. No I don't owe her anything,

Show her the red card mate let her new boyfriend deal with it.

Thank you Susie,

She's not asking me to take out credit cards in my name, shes asking me to help her find another credit card and sit down and do the balance transfer with her.

No offence, but if she has a new partner why is she coming ot you and why isn't he helping her with this?

Ignore Voltaire7. Most people on here actually want to help.

Good luck.

I don't see any issue with that? If you are still friends, it's the kind of thing a friend would do to help another friend out.
There is no problem giving advice if you know what to do.

It sounded originally that she was asking for you to take the debt on, definitely don't do that!

It may be worth referring her to a debt charity to help her budget and work out how to get out of the mess she's in.
