Hello, I am looking for some answers...
What I have is a verbal contract over a house in Nebraska- the seller is now saying that as I haven't paid any "rent" I now owe them the sum total of $1600.00 plus their court costs.
This is the reason why I kept asking them for a written contract. They have put me off until I have been forced to pay an amount that I feel is ridiculous for rent in this small town. It seems that my purchase has become rent without notification- or a contract in any written form. I am being sued for the above amount, and it is their word against mine. But how and what do I do to force these people to comply with the original agreement, which was contigent upon a written contract?
They are also saying that I ahve not paid them anything- which is incorrect, as I am holding a receipt for a downpayment of $400.00, which was mailed to them on the 28th of September last year.
What, if any are my options?
