Former Friend Filed False Chargebacks On Paypal Against Me, Now I’m Stuck With The Debt.

Location: Delaware

Quick rundown: about a year ago a friend of mine hits me up and says he’s having issues with with his debit card, and if he could send money to me through PayPal and I send it back. I said sure and sent it back. About a month later he does it again and ask if I could send it back. I didn’t think twice because I thought maybe he was still having issues and he’s also a police officer. Then it became a problem. I would wake up to money in my PayPal from him with just messages saying to send the money back. I didn’t want to be responsible for his money so I sent it back immediately. I would even tell him to please stop because I did not want the burden. He eventually stops, and the grand total is about $7000. He files chargebacks with PayPal stating he never authorized the money HE SENT ME to be sent. I provide PayPal with the transactions, text messages, and bank statements. They ruled in favor of him just recently after months of waiting and left me with the debt of $7000. What are my next steps? I’ve kept all the records of transactions that took place and all the text messages.
