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?

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 !

There's nothing wrong with apologizing..
& the cousin is such a prick for not returning that money.

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.

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.

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.
