Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas
vehicle repossessed lender kept equity
i purchased a vehicle from an individual and he provided short term financing. I paid half of the purchased price upfront and the balance was due in 90 days. I couldnt come up with the funds to pay it off by the due date. He reposessed the car and sold it 5 days later. I tried to get in touch with him and pay off the balance after 3 days but he wouldnt return calls or answer his door. He has not refunded the equity and he also sold the car way below the current market value. What should i do?

You can demand an accounting, but you can't do that in Small Claims. The situation is legally and procedurally tricky, and you'd be well advised to hire a lawyer to either help you, or handle it for you.
