sold a car, guy hasnt innished payment

[SkittleFreak]

Brief form - sold a car to a guy, he made a deposit and we agreed for him to finish the payment later that week, he has said car. (My mistake)
now he has only made a small payment since then, and now he ignores my calls. It's been about a month since the initial sale.
What options do I have? i've heard i can tow the car back and hold it until i get the rest of the payment.
or take him to court?

you can do those as long as you have proof of written agreement. Verbal agreement means nothing.

contract? signed agreement of some sort?

[SkittleFreak]

yes on a bill of sale and a second receipt that states he owed me money still

Can he do that if the other guy has the registration now?

I'd talk to the cops about it? :dunno:

civil agreement, nothing the cops can do. There is no way to prove he doesn't intend pay. Civil courts are your only recourse.

small claims court is your best bet. especially if you filled out a bill of sale. I never give a bill of sale untill something is paid in full

Based on contract law, the terms of the agreement were that the buyer would pay x amount for the vehicle which he did not do. If it goes to court and the seller has an addendum to offer stipulating that there is money owed, the judgment has a very high likelihood of going to the seller.

For the 500000000000000th time on Beyond, don't let an item out of your hands until it has been paid for in full. Don't let this scrub take advantage of you.

Unfortunately it appears that the contract was completed --- as the buyer now has the car completely in his possession.

Unless of course there is an actual and proper contract made up that stipulates this stupid payment structure.

im guessing on the bill of sale in the payment terms of whatever it said x amount paid and x amount still due.. i did this with a truck i sold last year, i gave him a bill of sale stating he paid me 3000 bucks and still owed another 1000 and once the other 1000 was paid to me i wrote another bill of sale saying that the truck was sold for 4000 bucks with no payment terms or anything...

as long as you have your copy of the bill of sale signed by him and yourself, he would probably have the same, go to the registries and put a lein on the car for it not being paid in full and if he still dont pay for the rest take him to court for it!
