I wrote not long ago about my mother giving me/loaning me some money to pay a debt to a builder and changing her mind after a couple of weeks and now deciding to take myself and my partner to court. I need some more advice if possible
Main bits are though....
Money was leant to pay builder. Have helped her financially a LOT.
I wrote on a scrap of paper 'you can have it back when I have got it'
Money went into my partners account not mine.
He was not privy to anything other than my mother saying 'I want to help' and putting it in writing.
Mother than decided a. Another cheque she had written me had been altered- Barclay's even said they had made a mistake and she was now worried I could never afford to pay her.
She started walking into my house shouting and frightening the children. Sending five page letters to our work (we are teachers) and then solicitors letters.
It is now going to county court.
I have admitted I owe her the money (as I do) have been paying her back. As soon as I told my siblings this she stopped the money.
My partner has defended the claim. It has been allocated to the fast track.
We need help. As he is disputing the claim does he have to go to mediation. She is a narc. I gave my financial details to her solicitor and she photocopied and gave them to my sibs. My brother who works in finance has been in both my and my partners credit files.
We Don't know what to say on this form..there is/ are no expert witnesses. Just pages of ranting and her word against his. We are just not sure what to say.
Any advice would be hugely welcome.
