My partner is having to go to court over a charge off from Kay Jeweler. The first engagement ring he bought his ex had a lot of issues so they returned it and got a different one and the first rings total was supposed to be taken off. It was never taken off making the total owed over $*. In their divorce they each were supposed to leave the marriage with the things in their name. His name is on the account and the one being sued because of the rings. The ex wife pawned that ring for $*. So we are going to court over Kay’s neglect to handle the situation as they said they would and he couldn’t have returned the ring if he wanted to because she pawned it. Even though it is under his name and the marriage ended because she was abusive and cheated. What can we do in this situation because the attorney wants us to pay to settle out even though he should not be liable for the first ring that was returned.
