I may have mentioned something similar before, but there have been some changes. Here goes:
A certain young lady I know moved in with her manipulative boyfriend at 19, against the advice and wishes of her father.
They bough about $3000 worth of furniture on credit. She says she didn't want to, but he couldn't on his own and needed her to sign.
About 6 months later they broke up. She had no need for the furniture and he wanted it, so he agreed to pay for it. She kept a night stand.
She agreed to pay off the remaining 6 months of the lease, as well as some storage and other fees.
She kept her end of the bargain. He didn't keep his. In fact, he bought a new big screen tv, months later on the same account.
She was able to get the account closed so no one could charge anything further on it.
A year and a half later, the account is now in collections, he's not returning calls, and they want her to pay for it all, even the TV he bought after.
The collection agency's position is that she signed it, so she's responsible, and they will take her to court to collect.
Any suggestions?
