Is it your fault she is in a financial mess? If not then no, you shouldn't help her. Fair enough you want to do it for the kid, but if its her fault that she is in the mess she is in, then its up to her to get herself out of it

Sorry mate harsh as it sounds I would take your car and run. She's an ex therfore not of any concern to you. It's sad a child is involved but nobody put her in the position she's in other than herself.

And coming back for you to bail her out meaning you won't be able to move on either. Clean break mate best thing you can do.

there is nothing harsh about it
she's fucked up and you feel guilty for some reason and want to help her out

if it was to provide a foor over her head for a while until she sorts herself out for a few days then fair enough, but spuning £7 grand on her scagheadness is just bollocks mate

if it was your kid then i could see the point, but it's not, and sooner or later he's going to find out his mums a cunt

So she actually owes you £28800? (6x12x400=28800), and your'e gonna sell your car to lend/give her £2500?

Fucking tell her to jog on! Has she not got any family? What about the boys father?

that would only make it £14400 as he lived there as well i presume, however did she pay the bills at this time, if so that debt is even less.........i know its hard with ex's mate.....been there done that....you try to be nice etc......

personally i would pay the £2.5k to bail her out and keep my car, then tell her that you would not be paying again.....! then iwould walk away, with a clean conscience

I work in debt management the now there are things she should look into. Tell her to phone someone and get advice.

Otherwise sell anything of value, id rather a roof than a tv. Life can be harsh but sounds like she should take responsibilty for it not make you feel bad!
