A few days ago an individual came to look at my car wich was for sale. They said that they wanted to buy it, but I wouldnt accept a personal check for the full amount, 10,500$ so they wrote me a personal check for 500$ to not sell the car till they pay the remainder in the form of a cashier's check over the weekend. Now i get a call a day or two later from they saying that they no longer want to buy the car, and they want the 500$ check back? Isnt the 500$ mine since it was paid to me as partial payment on the car (and as such to not sell to anyone else). The check has deposit written on it by the issuer. I've had to to tell three individuals that I've sold the car before this happened. So is the 500$ check mine? If they try to stop payment is that illegal?
Thanks
