What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
Bought a motorcycle in January 09, without title, seller promised title and box of original parts within a month. Three months later I got the box of spare parts from a po box(no return address), after that I lost contact with the seller. I’ve tried calling, leaving voicemails, text messages, emails, and face book messages(I can produce proof of all these messages). I had no choice but to call the dealership he bought the motorcycle from for some answers, they said he paid four thousand out of the six thousand I gave him towards paying off the motorcycle. They also said that the bank still owns the title, but he is a long time overdue account…I do have a notarized bill of sale. If I take him to court, the bank will take the bike, because they still own it, but he will not be forced to pay me within any real time period. I do not want to lose the motorcycle as collateral, at least until I get my money back. The only thing I can think of is to put a lien on his property, but I told him I would do that, and he said the motorcycle was the only thing he owned. Can I find out if anyone cosigned the loan, and sue them? Any other choice of action?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
