in july a friend of mind wanted to buy a van from me, i told him it was messed up but would get him around town. he started paying me 100. dollors a month, i asked him to start making payments to the car lot where i got the van,everybody was fine with that. in november the van broke down, he had it fixed, december 1st he said the guy at the car lot would change the contrack from me to him but he had to come up with some money for taxes, he told me he wanted to do this when he got his tax return, i said ok. jan 18th my friend who bought the van came to me and said a baring went out on it and that he didnt want it anymore. my question is can i take him to small claims count for the cost of the van (it dont work anymore) on a hand shake agreement (no contract), but i do have proof ie:insure forms, recite for the tag he bought, in my name, the owner of the car lot where he was making payments, and witnessis.

Re: givenword

You have two choices: (1) forget it and pay the carlot the balance of what you owe, if any. (you can choose to forgive your friend or not) or, (2) go to court. The contract does not have to be written.
