Hi everyone,
Hope someone can give me some advice.
I've posted before in 'legal matters' but after a search this seems the better forum for traffic.
Split with exp (not married on Dec 2021). We owned a property together.
We agreed a figure and I paid him, form TR1 was submitted and completed.
He has since been saying that I verbally agreed to pay an additional sum later on.
He contacted me in October (we completed in august) and alleged I had made a verbal agreement to pay an additional £5000 which I did not.
We have no contact and I haven't responded to that request.
I have now received another email requesting the additional £5000 and explaining he no longer wants/can pay the CMS rate but they have refused to amend the amount and they are chasing arrears.
I have ignored this email as well.
My anxiety is going crazy. What are the chances of me being taken to court on this? I don't have funds to fight, and there is nothing to say I agreed this sum.
I've convinced myself that his family will say I said it and I will need to find funds to fight that I simply don't have.
I will of course fight back if I have to, I guess I'm just looking at how much I will have to fight, will it end up before a judge making a decision based on 'probability' or will someone just tell him to take a run and jump as there's nothing to support his allegation.
