Ohio
I dated a girl for almost two years. She had an apartment that she shared with a roommate. After we got serious, she moved her bed and most of her things into my apartment while still paying rent on her room at her own apartment until the lease was scheduled to let out. This lasted about 6 months.
I was layed off from my job and she helped me with some finances while unemployment covered the rest, until I could get another job. Additionally, we went to look for a new car for her and we saw one that I liked as well. She urged me to try and get it and I wasn't sure because my credit wast still bad. I eventually agreed to try and couldn't get it w/o a co-signer. She co-signed for me at her insistance on the car.
After we broke up, she wanted me to re-pay her for the things she helped me with. I felt that was fair, I would re-pay her for things she paid for on my behalf. We had a conversation about it and I told her that I would pay her what I could each month. I told her I would try and send her $500 a month, but because that was a lot of money, I wasn't sure how long I could sustain $500 a month. I assured her however that the minimum amount would not drop below $250. She was fine with that. I had been sending $500 a month each month and never missed a payment. I can no longer afford to send her $500 a month and the past two months I have been sending her $250 checks.
Recently, she sent me an e-mail threatening to take me to court because she wanted $500 a month so that the money could be paid off sooner. Additionally, she also demanded I get the car fully in my name. My credit is improving but I can not get the car in my name yet. I have not missed any payments on the car either. I'm fully in-line with all payments.
She wants the car out of her name and wants an increase in the monthly amount that I send her or else she'll take me to court. What are my options?
Thanks.
