Family Drama, What should I do?

Postby danil70 » Fri Dec 23, 2011 2:16 am

10 years ago I made a mistake of taking over payments of my mom and step dads mobile home. Yes I live in it. They live in the house they want in the next town.
I'd never lived in a mobile home before, no experience with mobile homes.
Basically I found out it was junk, just keeps tearing up, we fix it, keeps tearing up
again. Insurance won't fix it. Insurance just sends a 30 dollar check. So its hard.
Tried getting it in my name was told No. My husband said he does not want it
in his name. Tried to trade it in - No can't trade it in - too much money owed.
Told my mom I was thinking of moving out to a better place. We can get a house.
Then all hell broke loose and my step brother (have not heard from in 10 years)
suddenly calls me out of the blue complaining saying we should keep paying
for it. That its my responsibility. That his dad is in bad health and can't take
the stress of having to worry about paying for it. They had a chance to put it
on bankruptcy but did not do it. Even though I told them to go ahead and do it.
I even thought they had to put it on bankruptcy by law. But they didn't.
They expect me to keep paying for it for 20 years until its paid for.
They said we did not take care of it. We tried all we could. But you
can't fix junk. They said it would be doing my mom and step dad wrong.
It would be on their credit. And every phone call about the bill would be
my fault. It most likely won't sale for the payoff, its not worth it. This is just
an ugly mess and has caused me and my moms relationship to be different.
She looks at me like I'm this evil person taking advantage of them. And the
way she acts I can hear the negativity in her voice. She constantly asks me
about taking money and fixing up the trailor. But I have tried to, she don't
believe me. I wish I had saved all the receipts. I'm just sick of it. This is a
bad situation. I never thought this could happen. Don't do business with family.
Lesson learned way too late. They also Lied saying I never told them to put
it on bankruptcy but I did. This is an ugly situation. What to do?

Don't pay another cent. Walk away and don't answer their calls for awhile.If not in your name...they can't touch you! Let everyone take the responsibility. You did your part and now you are broke but they still have some money. No court can touch you as long as your name is not on it.
