Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts

Should a Motion for Reconsideration be filed?

I was the Plaintiff in a Bench Trial on 12/2. I sold my biz to a ''friend'' for $12K and, as compensation, he was responsible for all payments to the Bank for a vehicle he bought for me. 4 yrs. @ $354.20 per month.

and he defaulted.

A Promissory Note was even signed. The Judge ruled in my favor for $1.00 saying: ''Based upon the evidence before me, I am not persuaded as to the balance due''. I had documents from the Bank stating the TOTAL DUE on the loan but my Attorney never introduced it at Trial. I'm disabled &

need a vehicle for Dr.'s appts. Now - it's going to be repossessed. PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you

Re: Should a Motion for Reconsideration be filed?

You should file a Motion for reconsideration and submit the bills, but there is no guarantee that the judge will consider the new information. Your attorney should file the motion for you and seek a reconsideration on the amount due only.

Good Luck. Since you do not have a lot of time for the Motion do it now. However, even if your friend is found liable there is no guarantee that you will be able to stop the repossession.
