Bit of background, we split 3 years ago. He left behind a joint mortgage, joint loan and a nursery age DD.
We did agree maintenance for DD but he refused to pay towards the joint debt. I was left in a very difficult position with nursery fees on top. Basically I couldn't sustain the payments.
DD is now in school but the accumulation of credit to cover monthly payments meant I stopped paying the loan in October. I tried to negotiate reduced amounts but the company weren't interested.
Contacted ex (no idea of address he would never give it to me). Asking for increase in maintenance as I knew he had been promoted. There has been no increase in 3 yrs. I got told to "tighten my belt".
Basically the debt has been sold and the company have tracked him down. He rang very shocked and we met to discuss. He has recently inherited a lot of money. I thought we agreed he would pay his half (of the original loan, as I had already paid half before I stopped payments). He rang today to say he would pay half of the remainder I.e a quarter of the original debt.
AIBU to expect him to pay the full half??
