Q: I sold a used car to a friend of with a written contract to where they were supposed to make monthly payments.
I made the mistake of giving the title to them and now they have sold the car to someone else and are over 3 months behind on they agreed payments. Can I take them to small claims court and sue them for the balance that they own me on the entire contract since they now do not own the vehicle any longer?
A: Of course, assuming he owes $10,000.00 or less. What they did with the car is not relevant.
