1. g.morelia Says: i sold a car to a couple for 1200. they still owe me 700. but now the guy got arrested and his wife don't want to pay me the money. i made the verbal contract with both of them. the car is in her name . is there any way i can sue her for the rest of the money or at least get the car back ?
2. mccoyblues Says: Small Claims Court is your only option but without a written agreement and proof that they broke that agreement you have no case.

This woman already owns the car. It's in her name. She is the legal owner. What evidence are you going to show the judge to prove they owe you $700. You need evidence to win in court, not just words.
3. BigE Says: Small claims court but verbal contracts don't stand unless there are witnesses to support the fact. Even then they stink. Next time have a notarized bill of sale that has the payment plan included. Good luck but you're probably not going to get anything.
4. Scott H Says: Your agreement is as good as the paper it was written on. If you gave them the title, it isn't your car anymore. If you have the title, repossess the car.
5. Amanda Says: You can file in small claims court, since it's only $500. Go to your local courthouse or Legal Aid service, and they can set you up with the forms you need to file, for free or just a few dollars.
6. Frosty the redneck Says: Ha no
Verbal contacts are useless unless she agrees that it happened and the title is under her name and u should have gave her the title but just a writen agreement for payments with payment receipts. your kinda screwed.
7. Ashton Says: 1 you dummy always collect all the money first..
#2 always write receipts and keep them
# 3 keep the paperwork for when you had the car.
#4 YOU ARE SCREWED!
8. THE PROUD AMERICAN Says: Small claims court ,depends on who the judge believes

10. Bluto B Says: small claims court. google it.
