What is the name of your state? New York
OK I'm an idiot, a trusting one but an idiot. I split with a girl whom I had lived with for about six months. When we were together I bought a computer for $2600.00, and she put it on her credit card, because I have none. The agreement was I would make the payments and all would be fine. When we split there was a bit of worry on her part that I would take the computer and not continue paying so she boxed everything and stored it.
After many weeks of reassurance and further payments she agreed to let me use it while I was paying. So the computer was back in my possession. I then was laid off my job and was unable to make regular payments for a few months.
But I gave what I could every time I got money and kept her informed. We still were seeing each other regularly, sort of dating.
I had moved to a friends house temporarily while getting ready to moved to a new city. All my things were stored there and the computer was in my room. I found a job within a month and was able to continue payments but I couldn't reach her over the holidays and now to my shock and horror I find that the 'friend' gave up my computer to her after she came over to ostensibly just visit and soon began whining and getting emotional, saying she couldn't sleep because of the $800 dollars still owing on the computer. Having manipulated it back into her possession she then proceeded to sell it and now refuses to pay me the difference, $1800.(which I don't even want - I want the computer and my files!) She then bragged about going through all my files and and what whe found there! There was also an extra hard drive that I had installed and all my software. Although it is common knowledge that it was mine and far more than half paid. I don't think she will dispute that as incorrigible as she is, but after this...? And of course she refuses to tell me who she sold it to, though it is likely to someone in her family.
What are my legal grounds. I don't even have a receipt!
