Hi guys hope you can help me here. Recently i moved out of my ex fiances house we had been going together for 6 years and we have 2 children together. When we first moved into the house it needed a new kitchen which i financed and am still paying off. However, before i moved into my new home i offered my ex the oppertunity to take over the remaining payments of the loan which there is only approximately only 1 year left to pay. My ex declined this offer stating that he could not afford it and would not get credit due to a poor credit rating. I advised my ex that i would not be paying for a kitchen for him to use and if he did not pay the remaining payments i would have the kitchen removed, he still declined. The kitchen was removed. Within side a week of this i recieved a solicitors letter stating that i removed the kitchen from the house, which i was not allowed to do as it was part of fixtures and fittings. The letter also stated that i would have to reimburse my ex for the kitchen.

I want to know where i stand legally here. The kitchen was my property as i have been paying installments on the loan, therefore i removed my property which cannot be counted as theft? Also, how can i reimburse someone for something that they have never had/owned? Remember, he was offered the chance to pay off the remaining loan. I live in Northern Ireland.

Hope you can advise me here, before i go to a solicitor.

Hi,

My Name is Kevin Maynard i am an account manager for Solicitor Pages the new online search engine listing solicitors throughout the UK. My advice to you would be speak directly to a solicitor, i know this could be expensive but if you search around some solicitors offer 1st consultation free and this is where i would start first. Go to www.solicitor-pages.com i hope it helps.
