What is the name of your state? CT
I am very ill on long term disability. A few years ago when I first became ill, an old friend arrived at my house unsolicited with a check for three thousand dollars & indicated that in view of my financial and health circumstances her (newly deceased) mother would want me to have the money. No mention was made of it being a "loan" and had it been presented as such I would never have accepted the money as I had no way to pay that amount back. At the time I was incredibly touched by the gesture. As time went on she became uninvolved in my life and I stopped seeing her. Now this person has filed a small claims case against me for the money,we have not seen each other in years. She contacted me via email regarding this money some time back & I answered her and told her my health and financial circumstances, I indicated that since we no longer saw each other I supposed I could understand her change of heart. No other contact was made. I am about to loose half my liver & very sick, I am living on a very small disability income and I cannot afford this debt. I have very little if anything anyone would consider an "asset" other then personal property (no real estate etc)...someone suggested that if I were unable to pay this debt she could ask the court for my vehicle or anything she deemed she wanted to satisfy the debt? Is this possible? I have very little but I need what I have. I answered the court and documented my income source, health issues and indicated that I am too sick to come to court....I also clarifed that I in no way solicited money or considered that I took a "loan"...nothing was in writing.
