Can my ex do this…

My ex moved in with me and I ended things. He was not happy as he felt things were sunshine and roses but I hadn’t been feeling it a while so he felt blindsided.
He moved back to his mums and got his stuff but had to put them in storage as there’s some computer desk etc apparently £150 a month ongoing for storage.
He is saying he is going to make a small claim against me for the cost of the things he sold to move in with me e.g computer game stuff, flight simulator games, a small tv. Nothing like a sofa. Can he do this? He also said he is going to charge me for the storage costs as I made him ‘homeless’ (staying back at his mums).
Im a single mum and stressed out to the max with all this as he’s been threatening me with police and messaging my friends turning them against me since our split.

😁lol no he really cannot. His stuff is not and has never been your problem. Roll your eyes and ignore him.

No, he is an idiot

Hahaha let him go for it, he’ll be laughed out of court

What a knob, tell him to fuck off.

I’d be more worried about him turning friends against you. What’s that all about?

Screenshot all threatening messages and tell him you are going to the Police yourself due to being threatened, hopefully your friends will contact you to offer support, maybe you should contact your closest friends yourself to let them know what’s been going on. He will be laughed out of Court, it’s not down to you where he takes his possessions.

The messaging my friends part was him trying to tell them I’m two faced and talk about them behind their back and it was mainly just things you just say to a partner but not in a bitchy way but he tried to twist it. And it was mum friends so affected my child more which makes me upset. And it has actually affected those relationships unfortunately like he intended

No, he absolutely cannot, the sausage. He's just trying to bully/scare/upset you as he has no other way to influence you anymore.

One thing to note, if there is anything of his still at your house, you are technically responsible for it. For example, if you chucked all his clothes out on the street in the rain, he would have a claim against you. Make sure he's got everything and if you can, have him agree in writing that you're no longer in possession of anything of his.

At least you can have a good laugh at the thought of him standing up in court and yelling "But Your Honour, I sold my flight simulator video game!" 😅
