The forum advisors were trying to help you understand how to build a viable and credible case, if warranted-----which comes BEFORE suing.I don't think the questions asked have any bearing on my initial question. I didn't post my question to get into every single detail...I just need to know how to go about suing the previous homeowner. I appreciate your help, but if I can't get an answer to that, than we are both wasting our time...and that is something I just don't have a huge spare of. Sorry!
