My ex ended our relationship in October. I lent him £10k in July to buy what I thought was our home. When I gave him the money he said he would pay me back in full when he had it. I had wanted to buy 50% and to have my name on the deeds in proportion to what I had contributed. He told me that I shouldn’t worry, to keep my money as I was being made redundant, and that he had enough for both enough of us.
In October I asked him when I would get the £10k and he then asked for a detailed budget of what I had spent since we moved into the house. I sent it, he ignored it, we argued and he threw me out. (Gave me two days in the same week my Dad had died and two months after I had been made redundant) He told me then that he hadn’t let me contribute more or put my name on the deeds (it was bought outright) so that he could kick me out.
All part of the abusive relationship I know.
And I know that I was stupid.
Anyway. He has ignored my emails and I know that he will ignore any letters. (He is totally dysfunctional and ignores everything until the bailiffs arrive - despite having a very high income and low outgoings).
How do I get my money back?
