tough position, but you are gonna have to man up and take that shit back.
He shouldnt be putting you in an ackward position and if he is, then he gives two shits about you, so why give two shits about him and his feelings?

i feel you....but how long should i wait...he is supposed to pay before the 1st of each month and every month i dont hear from him til i drive to his house to pick it up....now he says hell be a week late..u think 2 weeks late is long enough to take it back?

if it were me id give him till the end of the month and if he cant pay...take it back and then id tell him he has one more month to try make a payment...if not, he loses it. id at least give him a chance.

you went to collect once, dont say shit to him and if you have to go collect again, go with your truck and his cash to give back and pick the bike up.
Possession is 9/10s of the law.

Chalk it up to a lesson learned in life. Maybe he can't afford the $50 at the moment. If he lost all those things how can he afford to pay you? Just be glad that you aren't in his shoes. Heck you sold it to him so you should have known better.

I thought your new years resolution was to start being a lil nicer to folks on here, cummins?

Kick Him back the 200 buck's that he has paid on it since it sound's like He will need the money. Get Your bike back and have Him sign it back over to You. Then find someone who can afford to pay for it up front.

I would talk to him and ask him to be straight up about his situation and ask him what he wants to do about it. Based on his answer then decide how you want to handle it.

I am being nicer that's why I said just chalk it up. Its being nice to both people and nice to the guy who's out of a job and down on his luck.

oh so you aren't in good financial standing either meaning you don't have the $200 to give him back. We'll just go over to his house, sit down over a cup of hot chocolate and some donuts and talk it out. Get your bike back, split the difference on what he gave you so give him $100 back, and give him a hug. Hopefully he still has it and has not sold it.

You shouldnt have to give him back any money, its not the deal that was made. I cant say I would be happy about him not paying, but I would have never sold it on payments to begin with, CASH in hand,you just cant trust anyone anymore, sucks but its true. What I would do is give him a few more days to come up with the money and then if he hasnt paid you or made some kind of attempt, take back the bike. He has only paid you $50.00 a month, thats not much. Maybe you can sell the bike and if you get what you want, then, and if you feel nice, kick him back his $200.00, but thats only if you feel nice!

Thats sounded like a great situation if you can find him.
I know some dudes that will disappear over $20. Sad but true everyone meets some single serving friends in their life.
Is the dude a drug addict or something? $50/month aint shit these days even with minimum wage.

Get the bike back and make him payments of $50 a month back to him.

1500 at 50 a month
Give him half his money back and he should be happy your doing that, my guess is that his phone got turned off cuz he can't afford it, not cuz he's trying to avoid you. Pick up the bike and I'll gives ya the 100 to pay him and make payment's to you. I'm right here in Martinez. If you're having this much trouble now you don't want to deal with it for the next 24 something payment's.

If someone wanted to make payments to me on a $1500 bike I would laugh in their face.
If I was in your buddies shoes I would keep the bike to teach you a lesson for being so dumb.
Why don't you sell me your car and I will make $20 dollar a month payments for life, I'll be sure to make you a top priority.

Honestly, I don't think you should give him the money back if you decide to take the bike. Look at it this way. When you go out and finance a car, you have monthly payments. When you can't afford it anymore and you don't pay, they repo it. In that situation, you don't get your previous payments back. You're in a position to act as a private Financier. You're the one who is handling the relation between the money and the product. You have a contract. I would assume that nowhere in that contract does it have a "refund" clause. Therefore, your legally sound in taking the bike back and returning no portions of the money. Its all a matter or morals at that point. Good Luck. Just my 2 cents..

The best thing you can do is to accept it as a mistake ON YOUR part, learn from it, and move on with your life by never financing anyone again.
Just MHO...
Good Luck
