Ex Family loan for business start up

4 Posts

in Loans
I’m looking for advice about a loan myself and my ex made from his father. We borrowed £5200 to start a business over 3 years ago which failed. We signed a printout to say we borrowed the money and would pay it back, however since separating nothing was said. Then out of the blue, he has contacted me to say I owe £2600 and it is to be paid within 14 days. I was just wondering where I stand legally on this, as a single parent I don’t have the money and not sure how to deal with it?
Thank you in advance for any help/advice

If there was no schedule of repayments, all parties should look to agree something.
I would offer to pay back in 14 years as a counter.
What happened to all the business assets ? Did you get your share when liquidated ?
