ok so here what happened, i will try to make it as short as possible

my cousin owes my mom $1000
she refuses to pay my mom for over a year
my mom then asks my cousin's boyfriend to pay back the money
the boyfriend said that he doesnt have anything to do with my cousin and he doesnt have to pay for it.

my grandmother basically did the same thing same situation.

i know that what my mom and grandmother did was wrong,
but my cousin refuses to pay back the money.
so do you guys think that i should apologize to the boyfriend for what my mom and grandma did. because i dont want my cousin's boyfriend to think that my mom and grandma are out to get his money, they honestly only wanted my cousin to pay back what she owed, but they did it in the wrong way.

and my cousin's boyfriend was going to help my dad find a job, but now im not too sure if he'll help because of what my mom did.
what do you guys think i should do: should i stay out of it, or just apologize for them and explain the circumstances?

I don't blame your mom & grandma for asking him,
but you should apologize and straighten things out with him .
Explain to him why they did this, so he can understand the situation .
Hope your cousin returns the money !

I would apologize on their behalf. He's right, he has nothing to do with the arrangement and shouldn't be expect to pay anything. I think your mother and grandmother were very rude for even trying to make him pay and if I were him I'd be very pissed off.

I would apologize to her boyfriend on your mom and grandmother's behalf because he wasn't the one who borrowed the money, so it's not his fault. I don't think her boyfriend should have been harrassed However, you should talk to your cousin about this. $1000 is not a small amount of change. If she borrowed it, she must return it. Who knows how many other people she owes money to...

Apologize and explain.
There's nothing wrong with apologizing..

& the cousin is such a prick for not returning that money.

take your cousin to court. that's the easiest way to get your money back. well actually you could always get a gun and threaten your cousin.
simple as that for your simple ass

You should apologize because what your mom and grandma did was wrong, and then expalin to him why your mom and grandma did that.
Live, eat, and love with Peace.

whut? you don't blame the mom and grandma for asking the BF to pay for his GF's debt ...
he's her boyfriend not her husband ...

i agree that you should apologize to him, if he was going to help your dad find a job
then it'd be best to patch things up quickly, even though it was not your fault if you feel
its your duty to keep things together then do apologize and explain

but from my experience with relatives and money, you won't see it for quite a while
ex. my aunt owed my mom 2 g's and it took her 10 years to pay it back.

i only trust my immediate family with money, anyone else can go to a loan shark for all i care.

i actually agree with this.
at least by law she'll be bounded to pay your mother back.

as for her bf,
i think your mother and grandma should apologize, not you.
and even if they don't,
just explain it to him.
unless the money was used on his behalf,
then he should help pay too.
like said, UNLESS.

^ Sadly, I also agree. It will be a hassle to deal with, but I think it's the only realistic way that your mom is going to get her money back. Who knows, maybe we'll see them on Judge Alex. tongue.gif
Seriously though, don't apologize to him, but tell him why they did it. You had nothing to do with it, and therefore you shouldn't have to apologize for their faults. As far as taking her to court, maybe suggest that to your mom so she'll tell your cousin and maybe she'll realize she doesn't want to go through that, and just pay her back. Otherwise, that's the only way.

woa. unless he was the one actually using the money, they shouldn't have asked him anything.

your cousin is bad news, man.

you don't have to do this, but personally i would apologize for their misbehavior. and then just explain to him why it's crucial his gf pays em back. and apologize to him for getting him involved.

I think you should apologize for them pressuring him being in a relationship with your cousin by asking him for money, even if your cousin was the person doing wrong in the situation. But seriously, that's a lot of money your cousin took and won't give back. I hope you figure it out whether you talk to someone directly related to her like her mom, or what not. Good luck with everything and I'm so sorry to hear you being in this situation :-(

Why not go straight up to your cousin's PARENTS for it? If not, LAWSUIT.
