What is the name of your state? Ohio
My grandfather gave me $xx in 2005 to help me purchase my car. We had an understanding that if i was able i would pay him back, as long as he was alive. He passed away this past spring, and his eldest son whose mental condition is debatable is the person now in charge, of the trust
He has sent me by way of an attorney a letter stating i have to pay him back this money. I have managed to pay back 2/3 of the money i was given. But i do not really have any way to show this as some payments were made in cash, and he and i did not keep records of it( now i see this was a huge mistake). The letter stated that if i do not reply within 30 days they will start court proceedings.
I do not believe there are any documents signed between my grandfather and myself, that would show some sort of contract.
So i have two questions, is there anyway to find out what information my uncle is using to say i have been loaned this money?( he will not willingly provide me anything as he will not speak to me)
and
What is meant by court proceedings...what does that mean to me...i do not have an attorney nor do i really have money to afford one.
Thank you for any help or insight anyone can offer on this.
