Legal Question in Civil Litigation in North Carolina

I had planned on selling my SUV to one of my family members. We created a bill of sale with Rocketlawyer.com. I included everything from color, to mileage. We both signed and dated the document. He's not wanting to pay me the rest of the money he owes. What do I do, and where do I start. This is in NC.

In your question, you put in everything from color to mileage - basically everything except what's important. We need to know how much is owed and who has possession! A bill of sale is basically a receipt. Something you give after you have the money. Still it should kinda serve as a contract if you drafted it properly. You don't say how much is owed but if it is less than $5000 ($10000 in some counties) you can file a small claims case. Since you felt the need to do a bill of sale hopefully, you were also smart enough to retain a lien on the SUV.
