Can I be held responsible for my ex boyfriend's loan?

Full question:

My ex boyfriend is trying to sue me for payment on a loan in his name. Can I be held responsible for that loan?

Answer:

If you are not listed on the loan, you are generally not responsible for it. However, if the loan funds were used for your benefit, your ex may try to recover the money based on that. This could be under different legal grounds, but simply being associated with the loan does not make you liable unless you signed it.

FAQs

Yes, you can sue your ex for debt if they owe you money. However, you must be able to prove the debt exists and that you have a legal basis for your claim. This could be based on a loan agreement, a verbal agreement, or any documentation showing the debt. If your ex disputes the debt, you may need to provide evidence in court to support your case.
