now she wants it back. The TV was priced at over $2000 and was also delivered to my address when she bought it. And I even offered to make payments to help, but she declined stating that she got that TV for ME as a gift and she wasn't going to let me make payments on my own gift.
We began dating Sept 4th and the TV was bought and delivered in mid-October and we split up officially at the end of November. The text messages I have saved from her were sent Oct.14th and 15th. I don't know if that makes a difference since a gift is a gift, no matter how long I've had it in my possession.
Although, she does currently make payments to Best Buy under her name, I actually have proof with saved text messages that she was giving that TV solely as a gift. She has now apparently filed a civil suit against me and is taking me to court.
She bases her entire case that there was some sort of verbal agreement that if we broke up before Chirstmas then it would be hers and that it somehow is a "joint-gift". Neither of these are true and there is no proof that was the case.
She also claims to have made an agreement with Best Buy that if she wasnt able to make payments on the TV then they had the right to repossess it. Since she gave that TV as a gift does Best Buy have a right to come into my home and take it if she stops making payments?
I know you have these kind of questions all the time but any help regarding my chances in court would be helpful. I dont want to have to retain a lawyer's services if I already have the proof I need in my text message records.
