What is the name of your state? Ohio
Ok...My boyfriend got a loan from his ex-stepfather. Well the stepfather didnt want to be paid back by check (that is what I told my boyfriend he should do) the stepfather wanted cash. So of course my boyfriend gave him cash.
Now my boyfriend still owes his stepfather 500 bucks and has been willing to pay it back but the stepfather wants it ALL (knowing that my boyfriend dont have it all at one time).
The checks were made out to my boyfriend and NOT to me. But the stepfather is trying to drag me into it. Saying that my boyfriend and I are "Common Law Married" (we have lived together for around 9 years) which I know is not around anymore. And is threatening to put a lean on my house(it is in my name only) and ruin my credit.
Well we got a certified paper in the mail today to go pick up a letter and I know it is to go to court because the stepfather told my boyfriends sister he was doing this. Do I HAVE to go to court for Small Claims? Not that I am trying to skip out on something but I AM NOT involved in this. The loan agreement was between my boyfriend and his stepfather NOT me. I heard you dont HAVE to go to Small Claims. Can something happen to me if I DONT go to the court hearing? Also does my boyfriend HAVE to go to court because he has wanted to pay back the stepfather and the stepfather WONT take payment?
It is aggrivating to even mess with this because he WONT take the payments. There was nothing ever written about how the stepfather was getting paid back and when he wanted it ALL by. But on the checks he is using as proof it does say loan on the checks. Now on one of the checks we think he added the word "loan" on the check because he gets his checks sent back to him and this was really what my boyfriend was working for. His stepfather is causing problems because my boyfriends mother wont take him back and we just dont want to mess with his drama.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you for your time!!
