Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
collecting
A ex-friend of mine has furniture that was purchased in my name. The verbal agreement was that she would pay the bill. She has refused and I was unaware until the creditors called my home number. I realize that this is my responsibility and I am at fault. Am I able to report the furniture that she's had as ''stolen?'' She refuses to give the items back. It costs more than Small Claims and I don't want to pay for something that isn't in my possession. Are my items stolen? how do I go about getting my stuff back? It's ruining my credit.

Re: collecting
No, it would not be accurate to describe the property as "stolen," and, in fact, your friend or ex-friend, would be entitled to sue you for defamation, at least. You undertook the obligation, and are liable for the payment. You probably have to pay the loan off, without getting the property back, or anything else, from your ex-friend.
