    I would suggest paying it if its owed in your name, and then take her to court (if that really is the last resort). I think the judge will hear you out since you have witnesses, and billsnin her name on your credit card..

    If you mom loaned her the money, why are you having to repay it?

    I guess I missed that part, I thought the OP meant that her Aunt borrowed money from her.

    It's not your debt so, no, you don't have to pay it. In fact, you have no legal standing in this. You cannot be sued for the debt nor can you sue on behalf of your mother.
