What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
I dated a man for a little over a year. He moved in in November 2011 but then moved out for reasons I will describe. When he was living here, I came home from work one day to find a new entertainment center, a new freezer and new expensive washer and dryer. It was a surprise for me and I inquired if he had paid outright for them or was there a note on them. He told me he paid outright and they were mine. Due to some ups and downs in the relationship already, I also asked what if we broke up? Was he going to take them with him? He said no.....they were mine. He left at the end of January, which is is MO. Severe emotional highs and lows, which make him have to leave and hibernate for weeks. I found out afterwards that he had not bought them, they came from a rent-to -own place in town. They were new but I had a decision to make. I knew I wasn't going to pay the rental payment so I could either tell them to come get it all or go to the bank and borrow the $3500 to pay it off. I now have a bank note on what were intended as gifts. He was still telling me since he left, that he was going to pay for it all. Now he's saying he's not. Am I just stuck with the note since I have the stuff????
