Q: I have two dogs that I owe $500 for that was verbally agreed to be paid today. Can she take them? Already paid 500.
We had a contract and I was supposed to pay in full on the 20th. I didn’t have it all and she agreed to take $200 on the 22nd which sh accepted and $500 today. Now she is saying I am breach of contract and she is coming with the police to take the dogs back and refusing the $500 payment I attempted to send today. Can she just come take my dogs or would she have to take me to court since she agreed through messages, which I have copies of, to take rest of the payment today?
A: She would have to take you to court.
