Ok my parents are buying a house straight from the previous owner, every month they send payment through a check in the mail, and every month the seller says they missed the payment and threatens legal action. This is getting quite annoying. They have proof that he has cashed every single check they have sent. They do no have a lot of money to hire a lawyer or get it financed through a bank, what can they do to get this guy off their backs.

The cashed date on the payments are always before the due date. All the info of when he cashed it or what not is on the back of the checks

You need to read ALL of the contract between seller/buyer. Make sure your parents are following all the "rules" so to speak.
Get together all of your evidence (copies of cleared checks, etc) and make sure your keeping DETAILED notes of who called, when they called, and what they said (in reference to legal action because of late payments)
You'll need to do some research on how to go about stopping the harassment without hiring an attorney. Check with your state about landlord/tenant laws.
If possible try and secure a loan to pay them off in full - then your parents won't have to deal with them anymore. This could possibly end up being a civil matter for harassment. Sounds like the sellers may have changed their mind and are trying to push your parents out of their deal.

They need to let him know the checks are being cashed and they can prove it. If this doesn't get him off their back they should threaten a law suit they shouldn't have to pay if it goes to court where they have the evidence to back themselves up he should be responsible for any and all court costs although it may depend on the State and the Judge

Send the payment sooner. Sounds like it is late every month. Keep EXCELLENT records of payments made including canceled checks, bank statements showing the date the check posted to their account, any communications between the parties bot ways etc.

Use the cashed checks as evidence that they have paid, see if that person will sell the loan to somone else.
This is an old scam.

They're obviously dealing with a loon. What happens if it turns out he doesn't have clear title to the property? They need to arrange for a mortgage and actually *buy* the property, in order to get him out of the picture.

as long as they keep the cashed cheques as proof, that should be enough. if he does institute a claim, maybe tell them to make an affidavit/statement about the whole thing as additional evidence.
i think he's just bluffing

File a complaint with the police. This way you have something concrete on record.
