What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
California
Back in November of 2005, I put a down payment/deposit ( approx $1000) on 2 handguns from a licensed firearms dealer here in the So-Cal area. My wife and I had some sever financial set backs over the past couple years and was unable to payoff the balance until now. The dealer sold my pistols, yet never notified me. I contacted the dealer and asked for at least a "Store Credit for the amount of the down payment/deposit I had given him. They said they would look up their invoice copies and get back to me within a few days. Well, that was over 3 weeks ago and now the dealer will not return my calls or emails.
I have my original invoice copies with their stamp and signature. The invoice doesn't specify in writing any time frame required by the dealer to complete a transaction or fore fit my down payment/deposit money. I understand if they are reluctant to reimburse me the cash, I'll I asked for was store credit with their establishment.
Do I have valid small claims case against this dealer? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks...
