So...my ex-wife and I split up 2yrs ago and we did the divorce through LegalZoom so it wasn't so expensive since we had no money. We had no kids/major bills or anything so...we split everything down the middle.
I took on the credit cards that I wanted and she took the rest + mortgage and new car. She let both the car/mortgage go back since then.
So..I had this SallieMae loan for some certs that I'd gotten from a school and I told her that I'd pay that since it was mine but in her name.
I've been paying on it and recently had went into look at it, my loan is roughly $7,000. I tried to login, but couldn't so I called Sallie b/c the password reset wasn't working. They asked me to confirm the address on the account, well...turns out I couldn't. I finally get the password reset and see that She has it set to her address. Also...to my dismay....there's a total loan amount of $16,000. This was dispersed 3 months ago. I called Sallie back and gave them the info and they told me where the loan went to and to who, it was of course, the ex-wife.
I emailed the ex and explained to her that I'd reset the password on the account and ask if she'd gotten the loan, yada yada. She comes back as a bitch of course and tells me to quit resetting the account, it's her's...yada yada.
So..my question is this...does she have legal ground to take me to court for the $7,000 if I were to quit paying the payments on this? I checked, and it is in the divorce papers as mine but this isn't under my name.
What I'm being forced to start doing is pay $90/month directly to her and although that'll get me out of ALL of the interest...I'm worried as to how to keep track of all of this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I understand that none of you are lawyers..or are you? ^_^
Thanks for future advice!
PS...I wanted to add her response to my email which was a whole (3) lines stating...I need access to the account again b/c Sallie is stupid and took me off or something? Thanks.
"First of all, I don't NEED to do anything. It's my fucking account, so stop changing it to your email and changing the password. You are no longer authorized on the account. Stop using my social security number. From now on, you can pay me the $82.91 per month directly. You have my address. I don't trust you in my account when I have my own business with them. It's my credit you're fucking with.
Secondly, I have a full-time job, 3 kids, and I'm pregnant. I'm a little busy. I do plan on sending your stuff; it's just hard to get to the post office when I work all day."
