Re: Demand letter sent to me by my ex-fiance (lawyer)
It's legal for him to represent himself. If he thinks you owe some money to him, he's free to pursue the matter. Proving it, from what you've written, may be very difficult for him. There's not much you can do, until he actually files a lawsuit against you.
You could write to him, saying only that you owe him nothing. I would not admit in that letter that he paid any of your obligations for whatever reason. He's obviously had second thoughts about helping you out financially, and wants his money back.
