I paid £2000 deposit on my ex wifes car on my credit card,she has sold the car does she legally owe me?
Answer:
Unless you specified at the time that it was a loan then no, afraid not.
nope, unless you have something written down and signed.
She does not have a legal obligation to pay you back. She does have a moral obligation to, it is the right thing to do. You did not have an obligation to help her purchase the car.
Fraid not
she doesnt owe ..if she is your ex she now owns you !
If the car is in her name then it's her car and unless there was an agreement (in writing) about the loan then you don't have a leg to stand on.
Sorry.
No. sorry. you could try a civil claim, but she would be legally advised to say it was a gift. unless there was an agreement (not verbal). you've just lost £2k.
First, check the legalities on your credit card. Do you have any arrangements made with your ex-wife , in writing ? Looks like "YOU PAY" again. Claudia
No in legal she is not owe to you , sorry but the low dont protect who dosnt know his rule
No. Its a debt under your name (the credit card) so unfortunately, its your responsibility - even if you had a verbal agreement - you are going to find that incredibly difficult to prove - but even if you can - your gripe is with your wife not the credit card company. :o(
when you agreed to pay the 2 grand was there any contract drawn up saying that the deposit had to be paid back?if not then legally it would be very very hard to prove that you paid this with the intention of her paying you back. the only route you could go down was if you were to approach your ex-wife and discuss her reimbursing the money.if not it will im afraid be a very costly lesson that before any money exchanges hands always get something down in writing.
if the credit card was in your name and u signed im afraid its your debt sorry
Get legal advice.
Don't listen to these people, they're not qualified lawyers.
It seems likely that a lot will depend on the context in which you agreed to pay the 2k.
You *might* also have avenues open as the money was on a credit card - any purchases over a minimum threshold (£50 I think) come with a certain kind of insurance.
I'm not sure of the specifics though, so I can't tell you whether it will or won't help you.
Plus I'm an unqualified nerd, and like the rest of us, you're not putting too much faith in our legal knowledge.
Speak to your ex first, see if she's willing to pay you back amicably. (Lawyers make a LOT of money from people not being able to work their problems out between themselves!)
If not, seek *qualified* legal advice. Make sure to mention that a credit card was used, but don't expect that necessarily to bail you out.
no, unless you have an agreement in writing that she would pay you back. if not you will struggle to get it back..
you can sing for it
if nowt in writing then no
No. Next time try seeking legal advice. A $200 legal bill would be cheaper than loosing $2000.
