My wife co-signed on a loan for my mother-in-law for veterinary work to be performed on my mother-in-law's cat.
The total bill came to over $4,000.
My mother-in-law is refusing to pay any portion of the bill as she feels she was wronged when the cat died. My wife and I think she has no basis for this claim since the complications from the care the cat received did not ultimately cause it's death. Therefore, we think it is my mother-in-laws responsibility to pay this debt and not ours.
How much responsibility does my wife and I have for repayment of this debt?
My wife's credit rating has already been ruined because of this.
What further action can they take against us if we do not repay the debt?
