Okay, gotta make thing as short as possible. Bare with me.


4-5 years ago I purchased a motor/tranny 3750.00, from a business in Evansville, IN.
I Live in Ky (Muhlenberg Co.), I met the owners of the business at a restaurant about half way for the both of us. (Sort of a meet and greet, b/c my friend had met them at a car show and they had a big car club yada yada yada)
So I pay with a Cashiers Check, Get a receipt signed by one of the owners, and we proceeded to talk about their business, he had TONS of dealer catalogs and seemed to have it all together.

On to the ass raping

So the next week the guy is good, calls tells me everything is good and that it should be at his shop soon.

after a week, he calls back and said there was a little problem no big deal it'll be there on X Date call back then.

I did, nothing

so after a few months, and 100s of calls, the guy BASICALLY said

Sorry I got screwed, I don't have your money,.....sorry.



So I go to Local police. Nothing, money exchanged hands in diff. County
fine
So I go to Hopkins Co. (where the money exchanged hands) to their City PD.
they tell me Im SOL, there's nothing they can do, lesson learned.

no

So I make phone call after phone call, ended up calling back to the Local PD of Hopkins Co. talked to the Chief of Police, he said sorry....but you can persue it in Civil Court.

So I did.

after forever, I get a judgment in Court for my money, fees, court costs, lawyer fees, and 12% compounded interest.

Yeah that's it. I have a piece of paper that says I get my money back, but no one will collect. I can't get anyone to do shit.

after a while I just gave up.

Then we are told that b/c our judgment was in my Co. I had to re-file in the Co. where he lives (Indiana) and that the two states laws are different and Im once again screwed.

Now I am trying to get a Criminal Charge (Theft by deception) b/c that's basically what they did.
If I can get that, then I can have their bail/bond set at the amount of money they owe me, (+ whatever the court charges) and when they pay to get out, the money goes to me.

(** The sad thing is, this same kinda thing happened to my friend last year except he bought a car, and never got the car IN CALIFORNIA, 6months later he has a Warrant, and the guy is arrested, and he is being extradited to KY.........so he can get something done across the country, but I can't get anything done 90mins up the road. WTF)



So if you have made it this far, and have any HELPFUL suggestions Ill listen, apparently every other retard in KY that is a Police Officer or County Attorney is clueless.

 

I can't help, but I hope you get some resolution.

 

Thanks, so do I.

 

Id turn the debt over to the mob, im sure their collection fee is about 80% but atleast youll get something back, and the dead beat who scammed you will get what they deserve tooo! Oh wait, too much GTA play time here ><. I hope this works out for you and you get you money back.

 

um, you might try consulting a lawyer in Indiana
