Need some advice and a smarter son.

[Senior Citizen]

Baby Boy co-signed a personal loan with his "at the time" girlfriend so she could get some "perkies". Shortly after he finds out she has a problem with her knees and sends her on her way. Now she is intentionally not paying the loan so he will have to. The bank just called him again and said she had not made the payment for July and that he needed to.

Are there any legal remedies that he can use to "persuade" her to pay for her own bill? Is small claim court an avenue or is he married to the load until it's paid off? We are talking about Florida laws.

thanks in advance for any help.

I think I know what 'perkies' are, just curious about 'knee problems'.
As I understand things, he will have to pay.

S C - if you posted pictures of the "Perkies", would the thread get locked?
I'd have your son get some local, legal advice BUT..............
I've never heard of a happy ending on these stories.
I'm sure you already know but cosigning a loan is more than a favor and it carries some big responsibilities.

Too bad you can't have the "perkies" repoed!

 

[keith44spl]

Just what did he think co-signing for a loan meant?

If the signee no payee....Well, then the co-signee gotta go payee

Tom, keeping 'em together is the reference.

SC, I'd check with a lawyer, but my bet is that it is an expensive life lesson for your son. On the upside, it is a useful lesson.

Live and learn, as they say.

Yep, I reckon so.

When it is said and done, he is the one responsible.

I was pretty sure that was going to be

the answer(s) to my question. His heart is bigger than his brain.



Knee problem: she can't keep them together!!

Oh well, as a father I had to try to help him. There goes his down payment on a house!

Give him Mounds and Almond Joy candy bars (Mounds of Joy), and tell him, "Hope you learned yer lesson, son."

 

[Wee Hooker]

JMHO but don't bail him out or the lesson will never be learned. He should take her to small claims court .

What's got caught in the wringer isn't what shoulda....

Sounds like that boy wasn't thinkin' with the right head.

It happened to my son too and she left before they even healed ,so it did him no good at all. She even took his genuine US Navy flight jacket which I gave him.When some parts are hard other parts are soft.I remember when all too well.I guess I aint That old.

Tough way to learn a lesson. He paid for them I hope he got to at least enjoy them some.

Never, Ever, Never, For Any Reason...................CO-SIGN

Perkies would be like losing the twins. I wonder if he couldn't find a lawyer to give him shared custody. Can't imagine paying for them and not even able to enjoy them.

 

[feralmerril]

He might plead innocent by the reason of insanity. I am just crazy about that stuff your honor.

Is there any way her "knee problem" can be her source of income, and she can pay for her perkies herself? Either way, hope a lesson is learned here.
