Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
I am overseas and put my car in storage in the state of georgia. evidently they lost some of my payments and the new management sold my car in 3/11. i have receipts to show i'd send my payment a month in advance. their story is: i was in the rears for a year and in march sold my car at an auction. they sent 3 delinquent notices to my u.s. contact - 1 in 10/10 and 2 in 1/11. (the u.s. contact failed to tell me.) they didn't send a demand letter. i took business law in college and it discussd the importance of a demand letter. i think it'll be a good case: 1)the previous management told me they wanted to buy the car (it's a collectors' item, '86 fiero)-need proof they didn't take the car 2)did someone embezzle my car storage payment-i sent the money in advance to the storage company, i have receipts and would call after the payment was mailed to verify they received payment. the storage would always say they received the money. 3)they had no legal right to the car, there was no demand letter informing me of their intentions. 4)i'm a pastor of 20+ years and my contact has been involved with the church for ove 10 years. jesus doesn't lie, cheat, steal or avoid making payments. can i take them to small claims court? is it a good case? what's the legal statue code # i can use in georgia? what's the time limit for filing? god bless you, rev. carol you can call me anytime at romanian cell phone #(40)0725874208

Sending payments is irrelevant. Whether they were received is what matters. What proof do you have that the payments were cashed? (Whether a demand is necessary depends on teh language of your contract, which you did not share with us.)

This is an internet basic Q&A site - not a call back service where lawyers call you to help you or researches your case for you. You would not want to hire a lawyer who called you from this site anyway. No one here knows the important details you left out, or whether the facility complied with the applicable laws. As is the case most of the time, a basic business law course is not going to actually going to tell you what you need for a good case.
