He missed some payment's because he broke his foot and he was out of work for a month. The item is a pool table. The lady called him and said that if he did not have the money in full which is 200 dollar's by friday that she was going to take him to small claims court. He told her that he would return the item to her and she said no she want's her money. Well i was wondering if we would lose this case if it does go to court...because he did offer to return it to her...it's in the same condition as of when he got it from her nothing wrong with it.

Yes he can lose. A seller has no obligation to accept a sold item in return if the debtor is unable to pay.

Yes you could loose the case becasue the orignal deal was the pool table for payment and her end was kept up.
The judge may be understanding of the case and require payments be continued or something. I would think the woman would be foolish to go to court and risk paying more there than owed on the table however people do foolish things.
I'm sorry this woman is not understanding of your husbands health, maybe she feels he was aware of that condition prior to making the table bill?
I'd try to pay it and be done with the whole thing. It was the deal and it might save you a headache thats worse.

It relies upon on what the settlement replaced into of he agreed to take the truck provided that he mandatory one and you shouldn't discover the money for the money, he can't sue. yet once you had no settlement and did not pay those funds on a similar time as the truck replaced into nonetheless on your ownership then he can o.k. sue. the sole way he can not the two way is that if the statutes of boundaries are up.

He should have let the seller know he was having problems.
The lady wants her money! She is under no obligation to take it back.
Go you court, you lose.

Yes, he can and WILL lose.
He owes, he pays. She can certainly expect payment.
Though you could have a case if there was no formal agreement on terms of payment, but verbal agreements do stand.

What everybody else said. Also, if you don't show up in small claims court, you lose automatically, so make sure you go even if you think you're going to lose.
