Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
Loan from a family member
I received a loan from a family member and wrote a statement promising to repay the loan as soon as possible. It has been approximately 3 months and they have decided they want the money now or will sue. The amount of the loan is $700 and no date was promised for repayment. Do they have legal recourse?

Re: Loan from a family member
It all depends upon whether it has been possible for you to repay the loan, since you promised to repay "as soon as possible".
That's quite a bit different from, "when I feel like it", or "when it's convenient".
