Answer: What's the question? Or are you trying to solicit business where you are offering a loan contingent upon monies that are to be received regarding a lawsuit OR are you asking is it okay to obtain a loan based on monies you are going to receive? If it is the latter I would not go near those organizations. Wait for your money.

In small claims court in New York State....?

Question: ...in New York State, can someone sue you for money owed, when you never actually borrowed the money from them? Here's the story. Before I got divorced, my wife borrowed $4000 from her sister. After my wife and split up, I borrowed $600 from my ex-wife's sister, and she has since been paid back. My ex-sister in law at one time told me I didn't have to worry about the money, that she would get it from her sister. Her sister paid her 2000 of it, and she wants me to pay the other half. Her HUSBAND, not her is taking me to small claims court for $2600. The half of the 4000 and the 600, although that was paid back. Can he legally sue me for this money? No money EVER exchanged hands between me and him. They weren't married when the 4000 was borrowed, and I'm not sure if they were at the time of the 600. There was NO reciepts or promisary notes. The actual person who loaned the money IS NOT named on the lawsuit...Can he sue me?




Answer: Anybody can sue anybody else. That doesn't mean they have a case. When you get to court, ask for trial "by the court" rather than by some volunteer arbitrator who might try to "do justice" rather than apply the law. (Usually the artbitrators are good, but this could prove a tough case if the other side lies.) Your arguments: (1) the plaintiff has no standing (he didn't lend the money); (2) you never borrowed the $4,000. And, if relevant, (3) the issue is resolved by your divorce property settlement. By and large, oral agreements are superseded by written ones. Don't volunteer any information. Don't answer questions not asked. I assume the $600 is not at issue.
