writes: I bought my fiancee a car when we were together, on the condition that he paid me back by installments each month. He was paying each month and signing the agreement, until we have split up.We have been back and forth to each other deciding if we should get back together, and he told me he needs time to think.Now he has changed his number, he has his old phone still on but won't answer my calls or texts, his house phone has been disconnected.If it was my choice i would let him off with the rest of the money, cos its not worth the pain and agro im feeling everytime i contact him but get ignored. But this is my sisters money as well as it came out of our joint account (we share a flat) and he knows that she will want this money back.My sister is now threatening to go into his work and sort it out herself, i could go to his house, but HIS dad already told me if he finds out my ex hasnt paid me the money he'll break his legs for him and chuck him out on the streets (i believe him).What do i do, keep trying his phone and get ignored?Let my sis go into work and embarrass him, or should i, for him to hate me forever?Or go to his house, where he is gonna b in danger of getting hurt if a taddle on him?Im not gonna win either way am i?I cant help thinking hes doing this because i go on holiday on friday for 2 weeks, and he just wants to ruin it for me.

Personally I would consider going to a solicitor and asking about an "Action for specific impliment"! Its an action that will MAKE him pay the balance of the money back.
If you have something from him stating that he has promised to pay the money back, then you have no chance of loosing! I know in Scotland a verbal agreement can be taken as a legal contract.
It make cost you about £40 to get a solicitor to do this, but that way, he knows that you are serious and even if you go on holiday, but the time you come back, your solicitor will have some idea of where you stand.
Also, if you get a solicitor involved, no one has to break anyones legs, or make a fool out of themselves in front of complete strangers.
You are not loosing anything by seeking a legal opinion.

At the end of the day he has agreed to pay you back so you have every right to ask for the money. I think the best option is to go to his work. But i think you should go with your sister to assure nothing gets out of hand and then that way it can be settled in a sivilised way, because you are all adults and as I said you have every right to that money.
gd luck, and i hope i've helped.
