Stanton, CA asked in Consumer Law and Contracts for California

Q: Is there any legal action I can do since I haven’t received my money in almost a month???

I happened to sell my car to a dealer and i was supposed to get my money wired but my bank does not accept that and it’s been almost 1 month and it hasn’t gotten wired back to the account that sent it to me. I’m tired of waiting for my money I feel it shouldn’t take this long at all . They haven’t given me an update at all. All they say is it hasn’t gotten bounced back. If anyone can help me. Thank you

A: Breaking this way down to basics:

You have an agreement to give them a car and for them to pay you.

They now have the car and the money, which is not OK.

You can be patient and hope this works out, but, that is not real likely.

You can get legal help.

I'd for sure complain to the DMV about this and I'd consider hiring

consumer protection counsel, as this could cost these folks more than

just owing you money.

Good luck with it.
