Hi guys. Bit of a strange one this.
Last May my father came to the place where I was living with my mates and didn't like the place.
A week later he skyped me and said he wants me to get my own place and he'd send the money to help me out.
I found a place, got the costs of moving in and he sent me £2280 (£900 deposit)
in October last year he emails me asking me to pay the £900 deposit back claiming he's skint,
this coming from a man who has 2 villas in Kefalonia,
a top of the range Audi R8 sat on his driveway
and had a 4 week jolly to Australia in January this year.
I had no objections to sending back the £900 but says that as this was so close to Xmas I'd sort it out in the new year.
He has now threatened to take me to court and given me deadline of July 31st.
If I don't meet the deadline then apparently he's instructed his solicitor to add 3.5% interest onto this £900 from the day it was wired into my back
. Now what I wanted to know is
A, do I have a legal right to pay this £900 as we have no written contract or anything like that and
B, can someone just add a random interest figure onto something like this?
