help me repo my bike
So long story short. A young kid bought my bike for 3k but only paid 2k he has til Feb 15th to pay or I can get the bike and he gets no money back, parts he's put on the bike etc. I have a bill of sale that clearly states I'm selling the bike as is and still have full ownership of it until the remander is paid then title will be handed over. I have in the bill of sale that I can and will repo the bike if the money isn't paid in full. So how to I get it back and protect myself from ending up in court? I'll upload the bill of sale later. I still have the title as well. I've been texting him every week saying "title is here, let me know when you want to meet". But recently haven't heard anything back. I want it the bike back the first day I can so help me make this happen. Anyone know a repo company in Cleveland BTW?

If he has till Feb 15th why are you looking into repoing it? Its only Jan 6th...
Are you trying to pull some shady **** by taking the bike back before the agreed date? Just because he is not responding to your text does not mean you can just go take the bike back
You made the contract, wait till the 15 of Feburary.

Even if he doesn't pay by the 15th of Feb. You should still give him a week after to come up with money or you will have to come and get the bike. But LMFAO at already thinking about repoing this dudes bike when he has 1.5 months to come up with $1k.

Yeah this is jumping the gun a bit. Just curious, but when did you sell him the bike? I would never sell a bike/car unless it's paid in full. What of he wrecks it, runs red lights, races etc. Not worth the headache.

Hey, a deal is a deal. Better to be the one prepared and doing the screwing than getting screwed. Google brought up plenty of results BTW.......have your **** ready, and if you ain't got that money in your hand come Feb. 16th, go get the bike.

yeah why did you sell it? He can't insure it unless his name is on the title, so he has no insurance.... I'd never ever do that... I'm willing to bet if he doesn't pay you the next 1.5 months you never hear from him, the bike is probably in pieces, sold on CL and he is in another city/state now. You will spend more in legal fees then what he owes ya and he knows it, so he got your bike for a steal is what I'd bet.

If its in the contract that he has til the 15th then there's nothing you can do. I hope you made a bad *** contract that covers your *** well. But as soon as it turns the 16th its all yours with no legal consequences . But if he has damaged the bike and you did not specify that he is liable "if" you had to repo it in the contract then things could get hairy. Good luck but he still has over a month to pay up

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure all the guy has to do is go get the bike insured (which he can do without ownership) then take the insurance and the bill of sale to the DMV and tell them that the title was lost and he can get a salvaged title on the bike in his name without paying anything else for it....
Only way it would show up as stolen is if the owner BlackTXmagic reports it stolen before he gets a chance to do this first.
Again, this is the one of many reasons why you never buy anything in payments or accept payments on a sale!

I would report it stolen. Thats my advice. I delt with a guy that didnt pay me a car before. He went awall and i wish I had reported it stollen before he messed it up like he did. After you report it stollen you decide to press charges or not. At least you will get your bike back.
