Thank you that makes me feel better. I didn't want her thinking I was being tight after she lent me money last year! If it was for something else no problem, but to repay a loan she never should have guarantored for him seems crazy. I found out tonight that my brother told his bank that the loan company fraudulently took payments out of his account so bank have refunded £800 and loan company have added it onto my mums bill (as she guarantored it). What a mess! Xx
