What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I am getting ready to go to court over a recently purchased car. When I bought the car the owner said he would give me a break on the bill of sale and wrote a lower amount. I paid $2000 and he wrote $1200. Now this being my first car I didn't think to much of it. However after reading up on it, it is considered tax fraud and that seems to be a pretty serious crime.
I plan on telling the judge the truth but the other guy seems like he is going to lie and insist we paid $1200.
I am curious...what kind of trouble can I get in to for lying on a bill of sale?
