Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Indiana
Paying A loan back to a friend
I split a loan with an ex-fiance but when we had problems she borrowed the money and payed it off and ended up getting a bigger loan.I am giving her the monthly payments on the part she paid off.But now she is wanting the lump sum and I can not pay it.What can happen if I cant pay it in one lump sum but continue to make my payments on time to her. and my name is not on the loan and we do not have a contract.

Re: Paying A loan back to a friend
It sounds like you have an oral agreement for repayment of the loan. Your cancelled checks should serve as proof. Alternatively, see if you can borrow a sum that is less and get her to discount the balance you owe for an early payoff
