Need some advice please. I have not talked with, emailed or seen my ex for 3 weeks today and now I have a problem. I got a phone call today from a collection agency telling me that my ex and I owe money from our last apartment. Apparently they are charging us for cleaning and our last water bill. This is the first I have heard of this and they tell me if they don't receive $ by the 23rd of this month, it will go on my/his credit report. I am living in a temporary winter rental and need good credit when it comes time to move in May. It's not a lot of money, just under $100.00, but more money than I can comfortably come up with on short notice. My funds have been a lot tighter since I live alone now instead of with ex. I have no idea if my ex knows about this bill and has ignored it or if like me the contact info they had was outdated. The phone number they had for him was incorrect. He does have money management problems, but never stiffed me during our relationship, we were always fair about that kind of stuff.
I am torn between whether I just suck it up and pay this amount, or if I send him an email asking him to send me a check for half. I know he will pay me if I ask, but not sure I want to open the door to any communication. Any thoughts?
