To keep this money?

[MetalSian]

So I have posted before about ex-P, he took money from my account to pay for a deposit on a car.

He went on my account online, increased my overdraft and transferred £700 to his account. (Yes it is possible, and I have changed my passwords, and also I am stupid ;P).

He has now moved out and is selling the afore mentioned car by breaking it.
Most of the money has been paid by Paypal into my Paypal account and I have been transferring it to his bank account.

So now we are properly not together he has asked me to continue to do so, so that he can keep track of the money he is getting.
But he did add only if I can afford it.
He says he intends to pay me back to £700 but he really is very bad with money. Considering adding up all the overdraft fees as well and adding this onto the £700 as I wouldn't have had them if he hadn't taken the money.
He does also owe around another £4000 to two members of his family.

Would I BU to I keep all the money up to £700 that comes into the Paypal account then transfer the rest over?
Or do I tell him to get his own blinking Paypal account?
Or just give it to him and hope he pays me back when he has enough?

He doesn't have access to my paypal account and seems to be doing things fine so far but I see what you mean about closing it.

I was hoping to do things without CSA, to give him a chance but as soon as he messed up do it through them.

And I thought things are supposed to get easier once you get rid of them ;P.

Closing your PayPal isn't the answer - if any sales that have already been paid for go tits up, PayPal will refund the buyer(s) and come after you.

Ask him for details of where he's selling and ask him to notify you of all sales and what amounts he's expecting to receive.

There's often glitches on the PayPal site - some of which may prevent you transferring sums into his account for days/weeks/months

Gawd, I hadnt even thought of the paypal claim side of it.. but yes, other posters are totally right. With his past record of being a theiving toe rag, I wouldnt trust him to post a spark plug, never mind anything more expensive.

Tell him you want a proof of posting (an official one!) before you pass any money over to him. If any of it goes on ebay, you wait until the recipient has left feedback before you give him anything.

But firstly, you dont send him a penny until you have racked up £700 that belongs to you. Although I get the feeling that the moment he finds out you will be doing that, the paypal arrangement will cease.

Yeah I think that too Squeakytoy.
As soon as I stop sending him money I think he will find another way to do it.
I am £140 better off though even if he does do that.

Shame he has turned into a spoilt brat since things haven't gone his way.
Would be so much easier if he acted his age.

He is very lucky you didnt get the police involved - hacking your account and stealing from you.
I would close PP account and ensure all other accounts/passwords changed.
I wouldnt trust him not to drop you in it if you dont send the money on.

I agree, I'd say your paypal account isn't available to him anymore. Close it if necessary. Isn't there something in your paypal settings to link it to accounts?

You could be in big trouble if he decides to play you again.

KatieMiddleton You have no business calling this man a "little shit" unless you know him.

Sizism is wrong. he may be a little shit, a medium-sized shit, or a big shit.

That he is a shit is of course not in doubt! :o

A man who steals from his partner and mother of his children is always a little man. Metaphorically speaking.

Ah that did make me chuckle.
=D.

All right, Katie - a metaphorically little shit!
