    Default Getting Sued Over a Personal Loan

    My question involves court procedures for the state of: Florida

    My Fiance purchased a car in February of 2006 and was given $20,000 towards the purchase by her now ex boyfriend. There was nothing ever discussed as far as her paying that back and she assumed it was a gift. After they broke up, he came to her place of business and demanded her to sign a promisory note before he would leave. Out of fear she did so. This was in May of 2007. It stated that she would pay back all of the $20,000 by December 31, 2008. She paid $10,000 of the debt because she felt that is what she had to do since she signed this generic document he printed out. Once I heard about it, I told her not to pay anything more because it seemed like a classic bullying tactic. He has now enlisted his roommate who is also an attorney to draft a lawsuit to regain the other $10,000 and has stated that if she does not pay by January 9, 2009, he will file the lawsuit. Is this legit? Does she have any recourse?
