I am writing a demand letter for a deposit that was not returned for a vehicle that they sold to another unrelated person while holding our deposit and i was wondering in addition to the money owed can i tack on to the amount money lost because of no vehicle?
Hello ****, the ability to add damages for loss due to not having a vehicle would heavily depend on your location's laws. Could you please let me know where you are located so I can provide more accurate information?
