Q: Neighbor sold us HIS tv and now claims its his wifes and we have to give it back or were going to court ..... PAID 400
The other day , My mother and I were walking our dogs and a neighbor of ours called us over and said if we wanted to but a 65" screen , he originally bought it for 1200 and wanted 600 . We told him multiple times that we didnt have money , but came to an agreement about giving him 400 at the moment and 200 by friday ( 4 days later). Now he comes and says that the tv was his wifes and that she is sending him to court and that we have to give it back or were going to court as well . Do i have to give back the Tv , since the deal was made ????
A: He had apparent authority to sell their property. Contact a lawyer immediately to document everything. If it was his wife's tv, then it should be his problem, not yours.
