Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
repo of pet
I bought a pet from a lady, paid 800.00 up front and then another 100.00 and still owe 100.oo more. she wrote up a paper stating I owed 200.00 and would make it payments. Every time we would make anarangement to meet for me to pay her she wouln't show up. It would take days to hear from her, then she would send me emails saying she tired of paying games with me , and says she is coming to get the pet and resale her. I all ready paid 900.00. She can't just show up at my house and demand her can she? I'm just tired of her not meeting me when she said she would. and then her sending me nasty emails, and wasting my time, not meeting me. She has since moved out of sate. and I still get them emails. but she has family here she would send over to get the pet. at this point I don't feel like paying the 100.00, just because she is getting on my nerves. The way I feel is if she wants the money sue me, spend the 40.00 to take me to court, also does she have to do this her self or can she have her family do it?

Re: repo of pet
You own the pet and she has no right to reclaim it. If your agreement was that the price was $1000 and you have already paid $900, why don't you just mail her a check for the balance and be done with it. I would enclose a letter saying that the amount tendered is payment in full for the pet, and I would also write "balance due/final payment" on the check. I would also state in the letter that any further attempts by her to harass you or attempt to recover the pet will expose her to a lawsuit for defamation of credit, among other things.
