We sold a trailer to my husband's coworker but did not receive payment outright for it (we've learned from our mistake). We did use a bill of sale/contract and still have the title in hand. The buyer took possession of the trailer about 2 years ago (husband has been deployed since so I can't do much about it until he returns next month). The price of sale was $475. Buyer refused to heed repeated requests or return calls for payment. This guy still works at the location to which my husband will be returning. When my husband comes home, what's our best course of action?

YOU HAVE DONE ALL THAT YOU CAN FROM WHAT YOU ARE SAYING SO YOU NEED TO EITHER REPORT IT STOLEN WHICH IS PERFECTLY LEGAL.
OR FILE WITH THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND THIS WILL BE AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE PLUS YOU WILL NOT BE OUT ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU WILL WIN AND YOU WILL ALSO GET YOUR COURT COST BACK AS WELL.
IF THIS GUY PLAYS HARDBALL, ASK THE JUDGE TO GARNISH HIS WAGES AND YOU WILL BE PAID UP IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS.
GOOD LUCK

Is your husband in the service (hints deployed), more importantly is the person you sold it to in the service? If so your best bet would be take it up the chain of command ie his supervisor and so on. Most of time that will get the job done.

Tell him he can either pay the amount he owes immediately, or you will go to your local sherriff's department & have them repossess the trailer so you can sell it to an HONEST buyer. Bless you & good luck.
