Vehicle Purchase Dispute Resolution

Summary

Oral agreements can be enforceable, but proving terms is challenging without documentation. Unauthorized recordings are illegal in NY and NJ, and you may pursue claims under privacy laws. If the seller sold the car without reimbursement, you might have a claim for unjust enrichment. Consider small claims court for smaller amounts or a formal lawsuit for larger claims. Sending a demand letter with a deadline for payment before legal action is generally legal. If unresolved, seek free legal aid or pro bono services. Legal action could impact the sellers citizenship process due to good moral character requirements.

Ahmet
Nice to meet you, Ahmet! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
Here’s a concise summary of your situation that you can share with an attorney: Summary of the Situation *. Vehicle Purchase and Agreement: • In February *, I purchased a * Ford Escape from the seller (Mr. Ender Galindo Gunes) through an oral agreement while he was residing in Queens, NY. • Under the agreement, I assumed responsibility for loan payments ($*/month) and insurance costs, which I paid consistently. *. Seller’s Move to New Jersey: • In December *, the seller relocated to West New York, NJ. The vehicle remained in my possession at that time. *. Key Incidents: • March *: The vehicle sustained damage while legally parked, and the seller failed to assist with insurance claims or repairs. • July *: The car was towed. The seller retrieved it, and I lost access to the vehicle. Since then, I believe the car may have been sold by the seller. *. Financial Losses: • Loan Payments: I paid a total of $*,* for the car loan. • Insurance Costs: I paid $*,* in insurance premiums. • Towing and Rental Expenses: After losing the car, I incurred $*,*.* in rental costs and $*,*.* in tolls. • Therapy Costs: Due to emotional distress caused by the seller’s actions, I spent *,* Turkish Lira (~$*) on therapy sessions. *. Unauthorized Recordings and Threats: • While visiting the seller’s home, I discovered he had recorded my conversations without my consent, violating privacy laws in both NY and NJ. • He later threatened to misuse these recordings, which I believe constitutes potential extortion. *. Refusal to Accept the Vehicle: • I no longer want the car, even if offered back to me. My focus is on recovering the financial losses incurred due to the seller’s negligence and breach of our agreement. *. Legal Concerns: • I am seeking reimbursement for $*,*.* + *,* Turkish Lira. • I believe the seller’s actions constitute: • Breach of Contract • Unjust Enrichment (if he sold the vehicle without compensating me) • Violation of Privacy Laws • Negligence Questions for the Attorney: *. Which State’s Law Applies: Since the agreement originated in New York but the seller now resides in New Jersey, which state’s laws and courts would govern this matter? *. Oral Agreement Validity: How enforceable is the oral agreement regarding loan and insurance payments? *. Privacy Violations: What legal remedies are available for unauthorized recordings and threats? *. Unjust Enrichment: If the seller sold the car without reimbursing me, can I pursue a claim for unjust enrichment? *. Best Legal Path: What is the most effective way to recover my financial losses (e.g., small claims court, formal lawsuit)?
Ahmet, here is some general legal information that may help:
*. Which State’s Law Applies:
- Typically, the state where the agreement was made (New York) may govern. However, you may need to consider New Jersey laws since the seller moved there.
*. Oral Agreement Validity:
- Oral agreements can be enforceable, but proving terms and conditions might be challenging without written documentation.
*. Privacy Violations:
- Unauthorized recordings are generally illegal in both NY and NJ. You could pursue claims under state privacy laws.
*. Unjust Enrichment:
- If the seller sold the car without reimbursing you, you might have a valid claim for unjust enrichment.
*. Best Legal Path:
- Small claims court can be effective for recovering smaller amounts. For larger claims, consider a formal lawsuit.
Would you like information on how to proceed with any of these options?

*-* 50th St, Queens, NY * */*/* Ender GALİNDO GUNES * Ave St Port Imperıal Apt *, West New York, NJ *   Subject: Detailed Reimbursement Request for Vehicle-Related Expenses and Associated Losses   I am writing to formally request reimbursement for financial losses and expenses incurred following the purchase and use of a * Ford Escape from Ender GALİNDO GUNES on February *, *. The issues that have arisen since this purchase, including repairs, vehicle usability, and forced rentals, have caused significant financial and emotional distress. Below, I provide a comprehensive account of the events, expenses, and their impact.   *. Financial Background: Vehicle Purchase, Loan, and Insurance Payments On February *, *, I purchased a * Ford Escape from Ender GALİNDO GUNES. Beginning March *, I assumed responsibility for loan payments of $* per month and associated insurance costs. These payments were made consistently and are detailed below:   Loan Payments • March *, * - July *, *: $*/month Total Loan Payments: $*,*   Insurance Payments • March *, *: $* (Old insurance policy) • March *, * – September *, *: $*/month • October *, *: $* (Increase due to family policy change) • November *, *: $* • December *, *: $* • December *, *: $* • January *, * – May *, *: $*/month • June *, *: $* Total Insurance Payments: $*,*   Additional Fees   • December *, *: $* for registration and plate change (from NY to NJ).   *. Vehicle Damage and Repairs On March *, *, the vehicle sustained damage while legally parked. I informed you of the incident, yet you failed to take the necessary steps to assist with repairs or insurance claims, further breaching your responsibilities as the legal owner.   *. Vehicle Towing and Forced Rentals On July *, *, my vehicle was towed due to circumstances tied to Ender GALİNDO GUNES’s actions. At the time, I was unable to legally operate as an Uber driver in New York without additional documentation. As a result, I was forced to rent vehicles to sustain my income. Below is a breakdown of rental costs and associated toll expenses: • July * – October *, * (* weeks) Total Rental Costs: $*,*.* Total Tolls: $*,*.*   *. Unauthorized Recordings, Threats, and Substance Abuse While I acknowledge that you may have devices like Alexa in your home, I was not informed or made aware that these devices were actively recording during my visits. Recording private conversations or activities without my consent violates privacy laws in both New York and New Jersey. These states require consent from at least one party to a conversation for recordings to be lawful, and as a guest in your home, I did not consent to being recorded. Your subsequent threats to use these recordings against me constitute potential extortion or blackmail, which are actionable offenses under state and federal laws. Misusing recordings to intimidate, harm, or coerce someone is not only unethical but also illegal. During an attempt to retrieve my personal belongings from the vehicle, I recorded our conversation using my phone. This recording was conducted in compliance with New York and New Jersey's one-party consent laws, which allow for audio recording when one party (myself) consents. I took this step to document your behavior because I felt unsafe during the interaction. In this recording, you insulted me, calling me a "villager," and made other discriminatory and hostile remarks, including expressing regret that items in the vehicle were not stolen. Additionally, I believe your ongoing substance abuse, including the use of cocaine and other drugs, contributed to your erratic behavior and failure to meet your financial and legal obligations. These behaviors align with patterns commonly associated with substance addiction, which further explains your neglect of responsibilities and hostility toward me.   *. Emotional Harm and Therapy Costs The emotional distress caused by your actions led me to seek therapy. I attended * sessions with a licensed therapist, incurring costs of *,* Turkish Lira ($*). *. Clarification Regarding Vehicle Ownership and Rejection of Ownership as a Resolution Regardless of the vehicle's current status-whether it has been sold or remains in your possession-| want to make my position clear: *. No Interest in Ownership: • I do not want to take ownership of the vehicle now or in the future. My claims are strictly for financial reimbursement of losses incurred, including loan payments ($*,*) and insurance payments ($*,*). *. Breach of Agreement: • You breached our oral agreement by failing to uphold your responsibilities, causing significant financial harm. *. If the Vehicle Is Unsold: • If you still own the car, any suggestion t ansfer ownership to me is unau ptable.   *. Citizenship Implications As you are aware, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires applicants to demonstrate good moral character(GMC) as part of the naturalization process. Your actions—including unauthorized recordings, threats, discriminatory remarks, and failure to meet financial obligations—may raise concerns about your moral character and compliance with legal and ethical standards. Additionally, your substance use reflects poor judgment and irresponsibility, further raising concerns about your ability to meet the standards required by USCIS.   *. Witnesses and Documentation Please be aware that I have retained all relevant proof and documentation to support my claims, including: • Payment records for loans, insurance, rentals, and tolls. • Copies of communication and messages related to the vehicle and associated issues. • Audio recordings documenting hostile and discriminatory language used during our interactions. • Written statements from witnesses who were aware of or present during key events. This evidence further substantiates my position and will be submitted as part of any legal proceedings, should this matter escalate.   *. Responsibility for Safety and No Communication Clarification Regarding Prior Communication On [date], I sent you messages expressing my frustration and emotional distress following the financial harm and personal stress caused by your actions. At that time, I was overwhelmed by the financial burden, including the towing of the vehicle and your partial payment of $*. These messages were not intended as a waiver of my legal rights or a formal settlement of the matter. My current claim reflects the full extent of the financial and emotional harm I have experienced, which far exceed the $* payment. This letter now serves as the formal and final notice of the total amount owed.   Given your past actions, including threats, unauthorized recordings, and hostile language, I do not feel secure communicating with you directly or indirectly in any form. *. No Communication is Permitted: o I will not accept or respond to any form of communication from you, including but not limited to: ▪ Phone calls ▪ Text messages ▪ Emails ▪ Social media messages ▪ Attempts to contact me through mutual friends, family members, or any third party.     *. Payment Only: o The only acceptable action from you is the delivery of a check for the full amount owed. This check must be sent via mail to my address provided at the top of this letter.   *. Legal Consequences: o Any attempt to contact me directly, indirectly, or through any third party will result in immediate legal action for harassment.   *. Anticipation of Defenses or Delays While I am issuing this letter in good faith to resolve the matter amicably, I am aware of potential arguments or actions you may attempt to avoid fulfilling your obligations. I want to address these in advance: *. Claiming Financial Inability to Pay: o Your financial situation does not negate your legal responsibility to reimburse me for the damages you caused. Should you claim financial hardship, I will request documentation to verify these claims and will still pursue the matter in court to obtain a judgment. *. Disputing the Agreement: o I have retained evidence of our agreement and my consistent payments toward the car loan, insurance, and other related costs. This evidence demonstrates your failure to meet your obligations and negates any argument of ambiguity regarding our arrangement. *. Ignoring This Letter: o If you fail to respond or comply with the terms outlined in this letter, I will proceed with filing a legal claim in court to recover the full amount owed, along with any additional damages or fees incurred. *. Filing a Counterclaim or Claiming Harassment: o Any counterclaims or allegations of harassment are unfounded. My prior communications with individuals in your circle were factual, tied directly to this matter, and intended to seek resolution. Any attempt to deflect responsibility through baseless claims will not hold up in court.   *.Summary of Financial Losses Below is a consolidated summary of all incurred expenses: *. Loan Payments: $*,* *. Insurance Payments: $*,* *. Registration and Plate Change Fees: $* *. Rental Costs (July – October *): $*,*.* *. Tolls (During Rentals): $*,*.* *. Therapy Costs: *,* Turkish Lira($*)   Total Losses (Excluding Therapy): $*,*.* + *,* Turkish Lira($*)   *. Request for Reimbursement Given the substantial and unjustified financial burden I have borne due to these circumstances, I request full reimbursement of $[*,*.*+*,* Turkish Lira] in 21 days from this letter. Please note that I will only accept payment in the form of a certified check issued under your name. Kindly ensure the check is addressed to Ahmet Sahin Tastan. Should you require additional documentation, including receipts or transaction records, I am prepared to provide these promptly.   *. Partial Payment and Traffic Ticket Deduction After the vehicle was towed, you sent me $* as a partial reimbursement to cover the last month’s loan and insurance payments, as well as the down payment for the new insurance. This amount was reduced from $* due to the deduction of $* for a traffic ticket I incurred while driving the car. Although I acknowledge that this ticket was my responsibility, the partial reimbursement does not address the remaining financial losses I incurred as a result of our agreement.   LEGAL CLAIMS Your actions constitute: • Breach of Contract: You failed to uphold your obligations under our oral agreement by neglecting loan and insurance payments, leading to financial harm. • Unjust Enrichment: You received payments for the car loan and insurance while failing to deliver the agreed-upon services. • Violation of Privacy Laws: Unauthorized recording and subsequent threats are actionable under New Jersey State law. • Negligence: Your failure to assist with the accident and subsequent repossession demonstrates negligence in managing your responsibilities as the vehicle’s legal owner. Public Record Implications: If this matter proceeds to court, all details, evidence, and judgments will become part of the public record. This may impact your reputation personally and professionally. By addressing this matter amicably now, you can avoid these outcomes. However, failure to comply with the terms of this letter will leave me no choice but to pursue these options.   Payment must be made in full by [21 days from the date of this letter]. Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action, including filing a claim in Small Claims Court and reporting your actions to the appropriate authorities.       Addition to the Letter:   Settlement Offer to Resolve the Matter Privately   Payment Options To resolve this matter, I am offering two options for reimbursement: *. Partial Reimbursement – Loan and Insurance Payments Only: • If you choose to pay only the loan ($*,*) and insurance payments ($*,*), totaling $*,*, this amount must be paid within 14 days from the date of this letter. • Upon receiving this amount, I will consider the matter resolved and waive all further claims related to this vehicle. *. Full Reimbursement – All Losses: • If you do not agree to the partial reimbursement, I expect payment of the full amount of $*,*.* + *,* Turkish Lira to be made within 1 month from the date of this letter. Settlement Terms • Payment must be provided as a certified check payable to Ahmet Sahin Tastan and mailed to my address listed above. • If neither option is fulfilled within the respective timeframes, I will proceed with legal action to recover the full amount owed, including damages, fees, and interest as determined by the court. Important Notice: This offer is made in good faith to avoid unnecessary legal escalation and provide you with an opportunity to resolve the matter privately. Failure to act within this timeframe will leave me no choice but to seek full legal remedies.   Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely,
Ahmet Sahin Tastan

- Breach of Contract: Mention relevant state laws on oral contracts.
- Unjust Enrichment: Cite laws related to unjust enrichment in New York and New Jersey.
- Privacy Violations: Reference privacy statutes in NY and NJ regarding unauthorized recordings.
Would you like more specific examples or help drafting these references?
Here’s your updated letter incorporating both New York and New Jersey laws, structured for clarity and impact: Ahmet Sahin Tastan *-* 50th St Queens, NY * */*/* Ender Galindo Gunes * Ave St Port Imperial Apt * West New York, NJ * Subject: Detailed Reimbursement Request for Vehicle-Related Expenses and Associated Losses I am writing to formally request reimbursement for financial losses and expenses incurred following the purchase and use of a * Ford Escape from you on February *, *.

Rental and Tolls (July – October *): • Total Rental Costs: $*,*.* • Total Tolls: $*,*.* Under N.J.S.A. *:*-*, your failure to fulfill your obligations demonstrates negligence and a failure to exercise reasonable care, directly leading to my financial harm. *. Unauthorized Recordings and Threats While residing in New Jersey, you recorded conversations in your home without my knowledge or consent. This violates the New Jersey Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:156A-*), which requires at least one party’s consent for lawful recordings. Your subsequent threats to misuse these recordings constitute potential extortion under state and federal laws.

Ahmet, your updated letter is thorough and well-structured, incorporating relevant laws to strengthen your position. Here are a couple of final tips:
- Proof of Delivery: Send the letter via certified mail with a return receipt requested.
- Follow-Up: Keep a copy of the letter and all correspondence for your records.
Would you like information on how to proceed if you receive no response or need further legal assistance?
Yes please
If you receive no response or need further legal assistance, consider the following steps:
*. Legal Aid Societies: Contact local legal aid organizations in New York and New Jersey for free legal help.
*. Small Claims Court: File a claim for the amount owed. Small claims courts handle disputes involving smaller sums.
*. Pro Bono Programs: Check with local bar associations for pro bono attorney programs.
Would you like more details on any of these steps?
He’s in the citizenship process, this kind of situation if go to court, do you think it will effect his citizenship status or process
Ahmet, pursuing legal action against him could potentially affect his citizenship application. The USCIS assesses "good moral character" as part of the naturalization process, and legal disputes involving breaches of contract, privacy violations, and negligence might raise concerns. Engaging in illegal activities or demonstrating poor character can negatively impact his application.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with your legal claims or on how to report his actions to the relevant authorities?
Yes
Ahmet, here's how you can proceed with your legal claims and potentially report his actions:
*. Legal Claims:
- Small Claims Court: File a claim for the amount owed. Small claims courts are designed for such disputes and can be an efficient way to recover your losses.
- Legal Aid Societies: Seek free legal assistance from local legal aid organizations in New York and New Jersey.
*. Reporting to Authorities:
- USCIS: You can report any concerns about his "good moral character" by submitting a written complaint to the USCIS, detailing his actions and any supporting evidence.
- State Privacy Violations: File complaints with the appropriate state authorities regarding the unauthorized recordings.
Would you like more detailed steps on filing a claim in small claims court or how to report to the USCIS and state authorities?
As you know the all situation, do you think he can sue me or open claim?
Ahmet, based on the detailed information you provided, it seems highly unlikely that the seller, Ender Galindo Gunes, could successfully sue you or open a claim against you. Your actions appear to be well-documented, and you have taken reasonable steps to seek reimbursement for the financial and emotional harm caused by the seller's actions.
Would you like more detailed steps on filing a claim in small claims court or how to report to the USCIS and state authorities?
Asking money, I think I’ll give him 14 days for 11K$ do you think it’s fair
Ahmet, giving him 14 days to repay $*,* as a partial reimbursement is a fair and reasonable approach. This amount covers the loan and insurance payments you made. Ensure this offer is clearly stated in your demand letter, along with the consequences if he fails to comply.
Would you like more detailed guidance on delivering the letter or any other legal steps?
Do you think if I ask all money like 22K in 14 days, what could happen
Ahmet, asking for the full $*,* within 14 days is within your rights and could encourage a prompt resolution. However, he might find it challenging to pay the entire amount quickly and could potentially ignore the demand. If he doesn't comply, you can proceed with legal action.
Would you like more details on the next steps if he fails to pay?
Yes but I don’t have money for lawyer or attorney
Case Rating: *
Ahmet, here are your next steps if he fails to pay:
*. Small Claims Court:
- File a claim for the amount owed (up to the maximum allowed in your state).
- Prepare all your documentation and evidence.
*. Legal Aid Societies:
- Contact local legal aid organizations in New York and New Jersey for free or low-cost legal assistance.
*. Pro Bono Programs:
- Check with local bar associations for attorneys who may take on your case for free.
