Money Gift Repayment Dispute

Summary

If you received money as gifts without a written agreement, you may not be legally obligated to repay. However, if the sender claims it was a loan, they must prove it. Consider mediation or consult a local lawyer for advice. Document all communications and seek guidance from a Citizens Advice Bureau or local legal aid organization.

No s she didn’t send me anything but she sent all the money through her bank and now she’s showing all the transactions and telling me to pay her back
Hey, it sounds like a tricky situation. Since there was no written agreement or contract, you might not be legally bound to repay her. However, she could potentially claim it was a loan. Here are some points to consider:
- Gifts are generally not repayable unless stated otherwise.
- If she claims it was a loan, she would need to prove it.
- You could seek mediation to resolve this issue amicably.

Given the complexity and potential legal implications of your situation, consulting a local lawyer could be beneficial. Since you've declined to share contact details for lawyer referral, I recommend documenting all communications and seeking advice from a Citizens Advice Bureau or a local legal aid organization. They can provide guidance on how to proceed.
