Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Debt after a break-up
I lived with someone for 6 years, during that 6 years we lived in an apartment for two and then bought a house. When we bought the house we broke our lease by two months - the apartment complex set us up on a payment schedule and we paid the balance off in approx. 6 months. Now he is getting phone calls from a credit agency stating that we never paid the amount in full and he is threatening to sue ME!?! Can he do that?

Debt collectors often use unethical and illegal tactics. You should consult with a local attorney knowledgeable with the Fair Debt Collection Act. You may be able to get an injunction against further harrassment.
