What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
Let me see if I can explain this, I wasn't sure if this was the proper forum or not.
At some point in the past few years my significant other was instructed by her mother to withdrawal money from mom and step-dad's checking account in order to feed mom's bingo habit (or whatever else she was purchasing). Over time the amounts grew and grew to the point where step-dad started noticing. When mom was approached by step-dad about the withdrawals she lied about it being for her terrible bingo addiction and placed blame on my significant other.
Seeing as how there wasn't any way for my significant other to prove her innocence and that she was acting under the instructions of her mother, she agreed to repay whatever the amount was. (I wasn't involved with her then and never really asked what the amount was.)
Fast forward a few years and we find my significant other facing a diagnosis of breast cancer. When mom and step-dad find out that my significant other is possibly faced with a life-threatening disease she receives messages of prayers and hopes and all the things that go along with those types of life's situations.
Just a few weeks ago she receives a message from step-dad basically relieving her of her obligation of said debt, to which we both were relieved to hear because we weren't sure what costs would be associated with whatever medical issues might arise in the future.
Thankfully a week later the biopsy results came back negative; just a benign tumor.
Well, sure enough, a few days later, step-dad and mom find out that daughter is negative for breast cancer and the texts messages and calls start again reminding her that she owes money.
That's our situation. Is there any kind of legal recourse? Suggestions? Or does she just have to continue paying these cretins and hope Mother Karma repays them?
Thanks in advance.
