Do I have a right to be upset at my husbands family?
angel l asked:
Let me start from the beginning. several years ago my husband was wrongfully accused of stealing a cell phone. He needed a lawyer and didn’t have the money. His sister recieved several student loans but decided not to go to school. She gave him $1,000 of her loan to get the lawyer. He paid her $75 a month until it was paid off. She has not had to pay back the loans yet to this day. Later, we used her credit card along with her and her parents to purchase furniture. We were making the monthly payments on it. Soon after, his sister needed money to pay bills. My husband opened a loan of $1,000 for her. She had to pay it though. She recently decided to file bankrupsy. She said that if we paid the remaining balance on the loan we gave her $600 plus $75 we can keep our furniture and not have to pay back the balance ($1,000) because it was to be covered by the bankrupsy. The $675 was to help her pay for the bankrupsy lawyer. She went to the lawyer today and they said that she has to pay ….
another $300 to keep the furniture or they would take it away. His sister then called us and told us the we had to pay it. To me this is crap! The furniture at this point isnt even worth what we have to put into it. Also about a month ago his sister asked for $200. He asked when can she pay it back and she said when she gets her stimulus check in 2 weeks. He said that was fine. She went and called their mother and started complaining that he was only giving her 2 weeks to pay it back when she is the one who said that in the first place. The whole family makes it seem that my husband owes them for helping him out when he was in trouble. The money his sister gave him was not out of her personal income. It was a student loan!My husband told his sister that either she pay the $300 or they take the furniture and she owes back the $600 from the loan he paid off for her. Thats fair right? She and her mother flipped out and made it out that he was such a bad person for this! What should I do?
She already got her stimulus check.

If she filed bankruptcy, she won’t receive her stimulus check to my knowledge.
I think you and him should wash your hands of it. Obviously, she isn’t going to pay anything. She is going bankrupt and seems she is all worried about herself.
If she used the student loan money for other things, than school; then you should of knew she would eventually pull something.
Best to pay for things when you get the money yourselves and not allow someone else to do it for you.
If the furniture items are on her credit card etc, she still owns them and they can cease them. If you sell or give away those, you and your husband are financially liable for that.
Got two options it seems: Wash your hands of it and let them take it and tell her to fix her own problems for now on….(not rely on her to buy/give anything any more)
or….pay that extra that is needed, make a written contract you own these items now and not financially responsible for her any longer.
