Re: lease agreements

You sold property that did not belong to you, and they could file a police report to that effect. If the property is worth $500 or more, it could be grand theft. If they don't go that way, you are liable for the remainder of the contract, and they can get a judgment against you for that, and garnish your wages. You need to keep making some sort of payments to them, or file bankruptcy.
