An ex-boyfriend paid an attorney bill on my behalf in 2/03. I have not been in contact with him since 4/03. He emailed me in 6/04 saying that he wanted me to pay him the balance of the attny bill due to a high IRS bill he was faced with. I emailed him back and said that we had no agreement for me to pay him back. On 11/13/04, I received a letter from his attny stating that I owe him $5,500 and if I don't settle the debt than he will take me to court and prosecute to the fullest extent of GA law. Again, there were no verbal or written agreements. I made no promises to pay him back nor did he ask for the money to be repaid (until now). At this point, it is a he said/she said situation. How do I approach the attny? Doesn't he have the burden of proof? Not sure how to handle.
Thank you in advance!
