Hello ,Our family problem is my brother,
he borrowed a serious large amount of money in the thousands from our mum ,who had to cash in an ISA
as she is retired, he is a local councillor.

Its been over 3 years now. So we wrote to him at his office as his partner intercepts his mail and wants nothing to do with us,but everything to do with taking my mums money.

He's replied only in an email trying to cause an argument. Because we dared to write to him asking for it back he is very angry so basically he doesn't have to pay anything back at all and cut off communication.
although my mum has been ill with cancer ,he doesn't even telephone her to see how she is. I feel my brother is really letting his family down.

I dont have the same moral standards as him thankfully although I'm way from perfect. We only have an email from him admitting he borrowed the money. My mum never made up a contract because she trusted him as he is family!

Any advice would be grateful maybe my mum has learnt an expensive lesson .
