    Default Loan Repayment

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Texas

    In 2006 I had a contract breached to tour musically overseas and had given my 30 day notice to vacate my rental property. The father of my girlfriend at the time offered her 9on more than one occasion) to loan us money so we could move. I reluctantly agreed and asked him for $2,500. She called her mom and upped it to $3,000. She spent a lot of the money. He told me I had 2 years to pay it back and a little over a year and a half he sent me a nasty letter 9he is a preacher btw!). There were a lot of circumstances and things that happened.

    We broke up in 9/07 and then I received another letter from him. She had made excuses not to pay among other things. I replied to his letter with the thought that since she had brokered the deal, so to speak, that she was responsible for half the debt. He wrote back insulting me and said that I had borrowed the money so I was responsible for the whole thing. I started making payments to him and have now paid half the debt.

    My question is this: I no longer live in TX and want some legal advice as to whether or not I am fully responsible for this debt. Can he sue me for this and if so could he do it where I live now? There was nothing more than verbal communication over the phone.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    You borrowed the money, then gave some of it to your girlfriend to spend? Then you owe repayment. If your girlfriend was your middleman, then spent some of the money without anybody's authorization, it's still your problem for using an irresponsible middleman and not doing anything about it at the time. In either of those scenarios, depending upon the full facts, your girlfriend may owe you some money.

    The loan was apparently completed in Texas, so it would appear that he can sue either in Texas or in the state where you presently live.

    Of course, since this loan was not in writing, the terms may be disputed, and nothing stops you from suing the g/f for her half of the debt.
