Family and money rarely mix well.

This man was trying to help his younger brother get rid of an old, damaged car.

So he was shocked when his brother suddenly decided to pass on the car’s remaining debt to him.

While he thinks it’s unfair, everyone in the family thinks he should have just agreed.

Read the full story below and share your thoughts.

AITA Girlfriend sold my brother he car for $6000 on a payment plan. He totaled the car and gave it to me totaled. I don’t cover the remainder of his payment plan.

My girlfriend had a car valued around $8000 in perfect working condition.

My younger brother needed a car and had no money.

So she gave it to him on a payment plan for $6000 at around $120 per month.

This man offered his brother $400 for the damaged car.

A couple of years go by, and he gets into a front-end collision.

The front is destroyed, the radiator is cracked in half, and it has a bunch of electrical problems.

He goes ahead and buys another car and lets that original one sit.

I told him I’d take it for more than the junkyard would offer and offered him $400.

He brought the car to a mechanic, but his brother told him he should pay for it from now on.

He declined the $400, and we agreed that if I sold the car, he could just have the money it sells for in the future.

I took the car from him in not working condition and brought it to a mechanic to fix it.

He still owes my girlfriend $2000 of payments and continues paying the debt for 4 months.

Then he texts me saying, “You’re going to have to take over the payments now.”

He didn’t agree to pay, but everyone thinks he’s in the wrong.

I would never have considered taking the car and fixing it if, magically, 4 months later, this debt was now mine.

The car is worth $0–$1000 at most in its condition now, even after fixing it.

My entire family thinks I’m in the wrong.

I don’t see how I could be in the wrong here.

Let’s check out the comments of other people on this story.

This person makes a valid point.

Short and simple.

Yes, indeed.

The agreement hasn’t changed, says this one.

Finally, people understand it better than the brother did.

Money misunderstandings between family members can be complicated.
