Re: Purchase of motorcycle

Yes, if an agreement was signed and the deposit was acknowledged. You simply file a civil complaint with your local Magisterial District Justice and getting a judgment should not be a problem. Collecting may be a different matter and if there was no agreement and no receipt, then it may even be difficult to get the judgment.
