What is the name of your state? Florida I recently purchased some appliances from a friend of mine for $1200.00. I agreed to pay $80.00/month until I recieved a lump sum of money from my pending divorce, if and when it's final. One month later I paid the first installment of $80 and she informed me that she wanted the whole $1200 and that she never agreed to $80/month. I immediatley offered to give back her property or continue to pay the $80/month. She refuses to take back the property and continues to harrass and threaten me with a civil lawsuit. I have now paid two installments and she continues to harrass me, but she also accepts the payments. Could she actually sue and win? Could I be required to pay for her attorney? I never agreed to pay her $1200 in a lump sum until my divorce was final. There is no written contract for the sale agreement. I have all the correspondence via e-mails offering to return the property but she refuses.
