QUESTION
Can I take my grandson to court for Elderly Abuse or Financial Exploitation?
Asked on Nov 01st, 2012 on Elder Law - California
More details to this question:
I used my cc to make a major purchase on behalf of my grandson as he promised to make the payments and payoff the charges. He then skipped town and after 3 years I send him letter reminding him of his debt to which he said he would payoff. The payments have become overwhelming and has hurt my credit. Do I have a case now that I know where he lives? He moved out of CA and resides in TX.

While you may have a case, the real question is does your grandson have the money to pay the charges? Also i he did not sign anything confirming he owes you the money you are probably out of luck.
However, if he has money to pay it is a different story. How much was the major purchase?
You also have a problem because he is living in Texas. This makes litigation very expensive.
