sold motorcycle

[kicker727]

I had written a check to a friend for 1600 saying it was for the purchase of a bike he was selling... it said on the check what it was for... i never did get the bike as he was "repairing" it... eventually i told him just to give me my money back and sell it so I could have my 1600 back... he told me the check was in the mail... never got it... I am going to court, and have a copy of the check... is it feasible that I would need more evidence than this??? what are my odds to win??? I really need the money back

Should be a fairly simple case of contract law. You contracted and paid for the purchase of a bike. The seller failed to deliver as promised. You need to take ALL the documents that you have about the sale, including the check with the notation on it. Sit down the night before trial and write a chronological timeline of what, who and when. It will help you to set the dates in proper order.
