Do I have to pay?

[geordaneo]

What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania

My ex girlfriend contacted me the other day over a year after we broke up to say I owe her $250 and can either pay her or she'll file in small claims court. She claims I owe the money because when I bought my truck 5 years ago, she had sold her old car and put $250 toward my purchase of the truck....The problem is that I need her to sign the title transfer for my truck, we are both listed on it. I willingly signed the title transfer for her car which we were both listed on a year ago with the understanding that as soon as I had the title in my possession she'd do the same for me. I just finished paying it off and now I have the title which lists both of us, but she won't sign until I pay her $250....

What? Can she seriously take me to court? This doesn't even make sense.

Please advise!What is the name of your state?

I suppose then the names are you AND her?

If so then she owns 1/2 of the truck. I suggest you pay her before she takes the truck

even though she hasn't tried to claim it at all and I've been the sole owner this whole time? Oh, one more piece of info - I signed a document saying no more money was owed a year ago and six months ago I signed papers dissolving our domestic partnership, power of attorney, etc. Can she really hold this random $250 as an ultimatum over this truck?

She can try. The question you have to ask your self is: Is it worth $250 to me to spend an entire day in court and produce paperwork for the last few years of my life?

why do you think I ask questions? Ya think it's because I get paid by the word or that it MIGHT help to give you a LEGAL answer?
