    Default Under 18 Years of Age

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: New York

    When I was 17, my uncle had me sign a hand-written "document" stating that he gave me an interest-free loan that I would have to pay back. This document was not notarized. He is now suing me for the money plus interest. My question is, since I was under 18 and the document was not notarized or created by an attorney, is it submissible in court?

    I would certainly take you to small claims court for it.

    Are you honestly trying to say that you shouldn't have to pay back your uncle because he was stupid enough to treat you like a responsible kid?

    Okay, we are not going to play this game.

    YOU said it was an "interest free loan", not me. Remember? The document you signed? Remember? what you described ALLLLLL the way back in your first post?

    Get your story straight and we will try to help.

    Because it took you all of 2 posts to change your story.

    There are several hundred people waiting to be helped, I got one hour of lunch break to do as much as I can, and you are wasting my time.

    Yes, it is "submissible" in court. Whether or not it is "permissible" in court is a different story and up to the judge.

    The judge could decide that the document isn't binding in terms of interest, but demand that you return the money to your uncle immediately.

    If the document didn't represent the truth of the arrangement, you shouldn't have signed it.
