This is a Michigan case. 2 yrs ago I purchased a vehicle from my father for $7000. I was to make payments of $500/month for 14 months. The contract was started with the first payment to be due in Jan. of 2006. I completed payments in Feb of 2007. I have documented all of my bank withdrawls as some payments were made with money orders. In Oct. 2007 My father and I got into an arguement, and her took the vehicle and all of my possessions in the vehicle. It took almost a week to get all my things from the vehicle. However, he's claiming that I still owe $1500 for it. Not disputing the $7000, just that I didn't make all the payments. He's now sold the vehicle. I know I can sue, but really, what are my chances, and what else can I sue for. I'm thinking I can sue for wages, (My job requires me to have my own vehicle) compensatory damages, court costs. I'm not sure what else I can sue for. I can also show a direct loss to my business as a result of losing the vehicle.
Also, I sent a certified, registered, letter demanding all my things back and either payment, or return of the vehicle. I gave a specific time to respond he has not.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
