The buyer happened to be about 4 towns over.
Just so you are aware you can file claims in small claim court even if the person does not reside in your state. An example of this is when a buyer pays for an item and the check bounces, you are polite at first and when it gets no where you file a complaint with the police for bad checks and fraud and then file with the courts. Granted you have to do the leg work and mark sure they recieve notice that they are being sued but it is worth it.
A no show is an uncontested win for you, You are awarded your claim!!!!
Now, Just cause you are awarded your claim does not mean you are going to get paid, but things have changed these days. With the judgement you can lien their property, ask the court to garnish their pay, report it to the credit agencies, there are a ton of ways to make that persons life hectic for bouncing the check. Just contacting their bank and informing them that you won a judgement for fraud and bad check writing will make them perk up and take notice.... What I am saying is eventually you will get paid.
Like they say the squeaky wheel gets the grease.... For you youngins out there what that means is if you make enough noise eventually you will get what you want just to shut up.... |
