Legal Question in Consumer Law in Pennsylvania

Marine Purchase Agreement

On December 1, 2007 I made a sales

agreement with the owner of a local

marina for a new 2007 boat. He did

not have any forms so we signed a

quote stating price would be my

trade in, plus $10000 cash, with a

$39,000 loan from the bank. On

December 15, 2007 we signed the

actual bill of sale and the loan

documents all stating the same

thing. On the bottom of the marine

purchase agreement it states PAID

IN FULL, and is signed by the owner.

THe owner of the marina submitted

the loan, registered the boat in my

name with the state, and I have

begun making payments on the boat.

On February 5, 2008 the owner of

the marina emailed me that he had

made a mistake and given me more

for my trade than he had intended to

and that I ''owed a balance'' of

$8500. He is refusing to deliver the

boat. IS this legal? This is over 60

days after our original agreement

was signed and 45 days since we

settled the loan.

What are my protections as a

consumer?

Re: Marine Purchase Agreement

From the facts in your question you have a good case. The marina's defense most probably doesn't overcome the facts you cited. You should speak with an attorney regarding youtr options. i offer free initial consultations.
