Back on Dec.3rd, my boyfriend and I split up. That's when he moved out. He only took his personal belongings. Back in July, he gave my sister a couch, chair, and loveseat set. She never came to get it. The end of November, we put the furniture in my house. He said I could have it. A week after we split up, he said I could still have the furniture. Since our split, his car, dog, gun safe, a dresser and few other things are still here. I even allowed him to have full use off one of my credit cards. That he's made the payments on except a few. For the credit card, I did have him sign a piece of paper stating that he's totally responsible for it, and two other people even sign it as witnesses. Now all the sudden because I went on a date, he wants the furniture and the dog, which he gave to me. What can I do? What legal laws are out there if any to help me. I was told that I could charge him $15 a day for everyday that his car has been here. Is that true? If it is what legal steps do I have to take? What about the dog? She's been here with me for 8 months now, he's never bought her anything. I did. He left her Dec.3rd. I knew him for 20yrs. does the paper I had him sign for the credit card stand up in court? PLEASE HELP ME, I'm desperate and I don't know where to go.

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

If he gave you the items and didn't sign anything or you sign anything that says it was a loaner, then it is considered a gift and it is yours to keep.

As for the money owed, if he signed an agreement, it should stand up in court.


Take him to small claims to make him honor or put it on the record ASAP.
