Found a motorcycle I wanted was slightly out of my budget the gentleman agreed to let me pay it out. Made a down payment of $2,000 and agreed to come back to pay the remaining balance. During the following week I was injured at work broke two ribs punctured a lung and severe head trauma and was unable to pay the remaining amount at the agreed time, did go and make another payment of $500 they were fine no problems. We both agreed to keep in touch with each other and let them know what was going on as I was recuperating. When I went to make another payment I was told that I needed to go pick up my payment he had already sold the motorcycle because he could not reach me. Although have proof of my phone number being on every receipt prior. I was disappointed but I agreed to go pick my money back up when I got there literally within half hour of making that final payment I was only given that payment back. When I asked about the remaining $2,500 is he said that he had already spent the money did not have it but he would talk about it tomorrow. Leaving agreed to come back next day and talk to the gentleman who said he would have to make payments he didn't have the money to give me back. Not knowing any of my rides I felt I had no choice I would like two weeks later in which he only paid me $200 yes. Again disappointed but not knowing what to do agreed to come back in the following 2 weeks where a message was relayed through his father that he didn't have it right now I would talk to me later. Is there anything I can do to get my money back? I will also include that there was no contract written it was all verbal agreement but I have the receipts of payments made with both our signatures as well as my information in case of him needing to reach me.
