Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
not being paid for item I sold
I sold a scooter to a woman with
loopus, in december. My mom
arranged the sale, she knew this
woman from a restaurant she went
to every week. The woman agreed to
pay in full by february. It's may, and
I have not even received half of the
amount. She told my mom she has a
inoperable brain tumor, and 6
months to live. The restaurant she
works at, paid in full, for her to take a
great vacation. while she was gone,
the owner was told by the womans
siblings that she is a con artist and
does this every where she goes and
will not pay anyone back. The owner
told my mom about the situation,
and that she already stated she is
leaving the area. I want to retrieve
my scooter before it is lost for good. I
still have the pink slip in my
possession. I have a typed contract
that she signed. I know where she
lives, where the scooter is stored,
and have the manpower to retrieve
it. What are my legal options?

Re: not being paid for item I sold
Depending on the value of your scooter, you may want to file an action in Small Claims Court. Your local court will have forms and instructions to make it easy for you.
