Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
oral agreement not kept and 2,500 dollars not returned
I made an oral agreement with someone to purchase an engine for my car for me. A check draft in the amount of 2,500 dollars was made . 2 months later they have not ordered my motor and said i could get my money back. However now he states the money never cleared into his bank account. Yet my bank says the money has been cleared for several weeks.
What process do i need to follow to try and get my money back legally?

You would need to file a lawsuit and get a judgment.
Then there are procedures you would need to follow
to enforce the judgment in order to collect any
money. I suggest you make an appointment and consult
an attorney before taking any action.

Suggest you contact an attorney immediately to avail yourself of the Civil Theft Statute which requires you to send formal notice to return your money or become liable for treble damages plus pay your attorneys fees if your money is not promptly returned.
