Ok we have reached a mutual understanding but there is a qualm I have with the reply they gave me. First let me share what the messages exchanged said.
Text from myself sent to the other individual:
"I will agree to your terms and conditions if you agree to the following, That my mother (anonymous) will be present as an eye witness to each transaction for payment towards the computer along with a receipt. If you consent to these terms and conditions then we can proceed forward."
Their reply to myself:
"I agree to having your mom be present for every transaction. If you are unable to give payment for the current billing period due to your Mom not being present for the transaction, it will be considered non payment and any fees incurred will be included as damages in the lawsuit."
**So to stop here, Can they actually do this? Include it as damages?
The text continues from them to myself:
"I, also, will be having a witness present for each and every transaction. Due to my concerns for my safety, as well as the safety of my witness. We will process each transaction at the entrance of the apartment complex, NOT inside your apartment."
The text continues further from themselves to myself:
"I also will be reporting the computer to Dell as stolen with the sole intent of having any information regarding the computer and peripherals available to local, state, or federal law enforcement during the trial."
**Now here is where I begin to have issues and concerns with this statement. Is this individual allowed to claim the computer as stolen? Even though it is clearly not stolen, they are well aware of it's whereabouts, and the fact that I have video evidence to prove otherwise.
Now they are still dead set on taking this to court even though we settled this via text. Is there a point in even going to court if both parties have come to mutual terms and agreed upon the conditions or terms set by both parties?
Now I understand many of you think I am looking for a fight, when actually I am not. I was just talking about possible scenarios, possibilities, and what my best choices would be. I want to make sure I don't get screwed over in any situation and that I am prepared going in for most scenarios.
