So, I am going through a break up. It was a mutual decision for us to break up. We were living together at the time and signed a lease agreement for a year. I moved out and got my name off the lease, had all the utilites switched over to his name, etc. The only thing that I have left to deal with him over is, he agreed to pay me back the deposit of $650 that I put down when we moved in. (He will be getting the whole deposit back when he moves out). Also, when we were together, we got on a T-Mobile family plan. He agreed to pay his share of the phone bill on his own at the T-mobile store until the contract expired.

Now, he's writing me texts saying he isn't going to pay me a dime, and that he doesn't owe me anything. Blah Blah Blah. I have no idea what all sparked this, and quite frankly, I'm surprised!

Anyone have any ideas on how to get my money back?

When is the cell phone contract up?


Since you got your name of the lease can you go to the landlord and ask for the deposit to be split when he moves out?

Hopefully, he will come to his senses and pay you back because it is the fair thing to do. But, if not, you might have a hard time getting it back unless you go to court.

If getting the money back costs you more heartache and sets you back, then I'd wonder if it is really worth it. I'm pretty broke, but would hesitate to go after my ex for money if he owed me. Too much drama, no amount of money is worth that.

In some cases, that's probably true.

Hey cello!

Your ex-boyfriend has not the right to keep all this money, he does not even seem (as far as I can see it from your report) to have any reason for his behavior and this rudness comes all out of a sudden. If this was about $5, I wouldn't bother but regarding that amount of money, I would threat him with taking legal actions in the event of further non-payment.
I mean, if you really consult a lawyer or not is another story, but it's your right and not your fault that he is turning so stubborn now.
