I was with my ex boyfriend for almost 4 years, in 2008 we went shopping together and he took a fancy to something in one of the shops. In total tit because £129.00 but there was a deal to pay £10 that day and pay nothing until April 2009.As he had a poor credit score hea asked me to open it in my name and by April he would have a job and would be able to pay it off in full. Stupidly I agreed and opened it in my name.
Then comes April 2009, we split up. He still said he would pay it but I kept getting letter after letter saying the balance was still outstanding. I was a single mum with hardly any money so I could not pay it. He was working so he could easily afford it nut he kept making excuses and putting it off. Then, come September 09 I received a letter form them saying the debt had now mounted to over £400.00 but If I paid it off within a week I could have a bulk taken off. So I phoned up and paid £325.00 of my own money that I had been saving for ages for christmas! To this day he still hasn't paid me back, is there anything I can do?
I have the credit agreement from the shop and a friend of ours was there and heard him promiss he would pay it himself and of course he is getting full use of the item!
