Question

I purchased a horse from Zachary Chapman on 01/17/2014 for $1,000.The horse was supposed to be gelded and delivered to my boarding place by February 7th.

Zachary stated the horse lost one of it's testicles as a result of an accident. Turns out, the horse is a crypt orkid (meaning one of the testicles is in his stomach as a result of a genetic defect). Instead of the negotiated $200-$250 for the procedure, this will cost up to $4,000. The seller knew this all along. Once he informed me of the defect, I decided to withdraw from the purchase.

We signed a document agreeing to the terms. Zachary stated he was okay with returning my money. Since then, he has told me he doesn't have it and stopped responding to me when I followed up on his latest promise of sending $500 payment last week and another $500 when he has money.

I am looking to get my money back. Please help.

Answer

File suit against this defaulter in your local small claims court for the

return of your down payment on this genetically deficient horse + court costs.
