QUESTION
Got a loan from a friend paid it back and now they say we owe them the entire amount again
Asked on Apr 29th, 2015 on Debtor and Creditor - Florida
More details to this question:
We lived in SC and they lived in GA. I live in FL now. It was over 10 years ago December of 2004/January 2005. They transferred a credit card debt (1500 or less. I believe it was only 1000 or 1200) of mine to a new card of theirs and we paid them back to save on interest. Recently they have come back to my husband (not the one who had the agreement or credit card) and are demanding that we pay them the entire loan again. Claiming they are being kind but are very angry that we left them with this debt. I have explained that we paid them in full already. The wife let me know that her husband used the credit card as his own frequently. So I am guessing he is looking for us to pay his debt. How should I handle their continued demands for money? Is there a way he could finagle something onto our credit or seek legal compensation even though we already paid them in full? How can I protect myself from them?
