Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah
making threats
If someone gives you money saying
there is no strings attached and then
afterwards is angry and decides they
want to get even saying they where
used for they money, can they win in
court for what they call getting the
money based on false pretense?
Saying I pretended to like them and
kept saying how badly I was in need
of they $ and that is why they gave
it to me. There was no agreement to
pay anything back and they offered
it. They are now threatening thru
email to start proceedings. They have
threatened numerous times before
as well. They are now saying unless I
meet with them in person and
answer ?s they have they will start
proceedings. If I meet with them
they make it sound as if they won't.
All done via e mail.

Re: making threats
You are not obligated to pay back a gift, unless you so choose. If you believe it was a gift, tell the other person to sue you and tell your story to the court.
