QUESTION
If a company says they won't press charges does that mean anyrhing?
Asked on Aug 05th, 2024 on Debtor and Creditor - Florida
More details to this question:
I signed a promissory Note under duress. The note says that it is not a promise that the company will not press charges even if it is implied or expressed by the company that they won't. Does this mean that the company can/will press charges against me even after they said they would not? Should I pay the promissory note, or try to receive a legal form/statement that I won't be charged if I pay it? Basically I don't want to pay this amd turn around and be slapped in the face with a court charge. I was told they would not charge me, does that mean anything at all?

First, understand that "duress" does not mean simply that you did not want to sign the note or that you felt personally compelled because they gave you an ultimatum. Second, unless you fraudulently incurred the debt, the creditor can not "charge" you with anything. All they can do is sue you for the debt.
