Can you sue an ex for money you gave them?

By Sebastian Wright |

Can I sue the abuser for money I think s/he owes me? If an abusive partner (to whom you are not married) failed to re-pay money that you lent to him/her or failed to make credit card or loan payments that s/he agreed to, you may be able to take the abuser to small claims court to sue for that money.

What do you do when your ex boyfriend owes you money?

First, if you have any proof that he owes you the money and that it was not a gift, take him to small claims court. You’ll still have to collect if you win, but it’s a start. He’s never going to pay you back on his own. Second, stop giving boyfriends money.

Can I sue my ex for unpaid debt?

How do you tell if my ex is using me?

Here are 7 possible signs that she is using you:

  1. She stays in contact, but keeps rejecting your attempts to meet up with her.

  3. She is happy to talk to you when talking about herself and her life, but she doesn’t really listen or care when you talk about yourself.

Is it worth chasing an ex?

A few months before we split up I lent him £3,000 towards paying off some credit card debt he was being hassled for and he promised to pay it back shortly afterwards.

Can a bank take an ex boyfriend to court?

The claimant’s responsibility is simply to show that on the balance of probabilities it was not a gift, and given that this was a substantial sum, the absence of a written contract shouldn’t deter the lender from taking her ex-boyfriend to court. It is still worth trying to collect as much evidence as possible to put before the small claims court.

Why did my ex ask for my money back?

Then when we broke up in January, he started asking me for the money back although this was done verbally and nothing was followed up officially. We then reconciled and briefly spoke about the money and he told me he had only asked for it back because he was angry with me at the time.
