Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Small Claims Court - Defendent Lives Out Of State
I purchased a bicycle from a person over the internet. I live in California and the seller lives in Texas. The description stated that there were certain parts on the bicycle and so did a written, signed bill of sale. I have copies of the bill of sale, my check, and the original add placed by the seller. When I received the bicycle I found that it did not have the parts as described. I would like to take this to small claims court. Is it possible for me to do this? If it is, what happens if the seller does not appear in court?
Thank you.
