    Cosigner Paid Off Debt, Wants to be Reimbursed
    A former friend co-signed on a store credit card for me in 1993. I had been making payments. There were several late payments due to the debt I was left with following a divorce. He had asked me to find a way to take his name off of the credit card because the late payments were ruining his credit. I was told by the credit card company that was not an option. He then emailed me over a year ago telling me that he paid off the card and demanded payment of $1700.00 from me. I emailed back & told him that I would have to make small payments to him because I didn't have $$$. When I failed to make a small payment he emailed me back lashing out at my entire family & telling me that he was taking me to small claims court & he could get up to $10,000.00. I have recieved a small claims court summons & the amount is $3,000.00 (limit in OH). Does he have a case? I did not ask him to pay off the credit card & the only contact with him has been via email over 1 year ago. (I only replied to the first email.)

    Re: Small Claims Court
    You say that you owe him money, and apparently reaffirmed the debt about a year ago.
