Small claims court date set for July 29th...in NJ.

Sweet!

JSFBOA july meet!

Judge Judy is the **** lol That would be beyond epic if you were to do that lol

Cracks me up that he has his Mom sticking up for him.... Good luck in court dude. Hope it works out....

best of luck bro, hopefully he shows.

Good luck! people like that ruin this hobby and give everyone involved a bad name as far as im concerned. So let him burn

Agreed!

Warrant will be issued if not?

or a default judgement will be made in kirks favor and the kid will have so many days set by the judge to pay him and the court costs. if he fails to comply a bench warrant will be issued for him. thats my understanding of it

Not sure. But it's an automatic win for the plantiff, usually.

No, this isn't a criminal matter...just a default judgment like Nasty said.

even if he does win thats not a guarantee hes gonna get his money, it just helps

Yeah, but i believe you don't get the full amount of money back.

Well then it goes to the next claims court step and they can get his financial stuff and begin o garnish wages etc.

if he doesn't show to contest it, a judgment is found in your favor, and basically says he owes you you're full amount.

at that point that part of small claims court is done. Then after a few days i think it is or before a certain number of days, you file with the county to have them collect for you. Basically they will issue the judgment in person, or by his local sheriffs office, and he will be told he has certain number of days to make payments. In this step, you add in all court fees, and they will add in their additional fees. Then u just sit back and wait. Every month you should receive a check from the state/county until you total is reached. At that stage is when they can garnish wages or seize property etc.

i sold a car back in 2000 for $800... i got 200 down and trusted him to pay the rest off weekly... he never did so i took him to small claims court for the remaining 600. he didnt show. judgment was in my favor then, and the next day i went to his job and told him. he said he didnt care about what the judge said and he wasnt paying. the following day or so i filed to have the county collect and few weeks later received my first check. i got 3 checks each for 250 about. i got back my 600 plus fees and other stuff. On top of that the checks showed each payment was like 330... and the state/county got like 80 a month for collecting. in the end, he ended up paying about 1200 for the car.

he doesnt have to show up... he just has to have a representative show up. he can hire a nj based lawyer to attend the hearings

^^ this.
You'll get your money... the real issue now is how long will it take

i got this in a pm today on one of my for sale threads on ls1tech. not sure if i should try to rip him off back or if i should tell him that he can pick them up while he's in town for his court date :nod:

Add what kirk is owed as 'handling' and you pay kirk!

actually, if you wanna be really cool you could have him pay in a personal check. that way, you get his account number and kirk can put a stop payment on the account until he gets his monies!

pm sent :nod: thanks for the idea.

ok secured. now the question is, once i receive the check do i actually have to sell him the item, or can i just photocopy the check for kirk then send the check back to him to refuse payment with a note saying something funny along the lines of ''dont Eff with njfboa'' or something along the lines. is that valid?? :nod::lol::rofl:

i like where this is going

Wow I forgot about my thread. Thanks for the support from everyone. I really doubt he will show in court but if he does I bet he will be holding his mommy's hand. He hasnt responded to any of my messages for close to a month. V pretty much summed up what should happen after he doesnt show.

Nasty, I dont think theres much I can do with his personal banking info. From what I understand, if I win my case, the courts handle the rest. Im not 100% sure, but I think theres another form I can file that requests his financial info and enables wage garnishing. Im tempted to give you $75 to snap the sideskirt in half and ship it to him in a paper bag.

This kid is to dumb to realize that this is going to **** his credit for the rest of his life.
