Legal Question
breach of contract/check fraud?
I sold my car to a ''friend'' for an
initial down payment of $1000 and
agreed to receive payments of $250
every other week. I kept my name
on the title as a lien holder and still
have the title. I have since moved to
Arizona and immediately had
problems. before leaving, she gave
me all of the payments in the form
of post-dated checks. i received 2
payments before leaving, but the
first check i deposited after moving
bounced. every other check has
since bounced and she has refused
all contact with me. i have several
different charges from both my bank
and credit card accounts because of
this. i kept one key as a security
measure and have family that i trust
to act on my behalf. how can i
resolve this issue? i have already
tried to convince her to resolve this
issue reasonably, but i am beyond
frustration and months of
aggravation are building up. can i go
after her for check fraud, breach of
contract (which we both signed and
she admitted to losing), or repo my
former car?
