I get a bank draft check from my credit union made out to myself and him. I was going out of town for a few days so we made arrangements to meet at his bank on 17 March because we both needed to sign the check. We both signed the check and deposited it into his account, then we’re told his bank is putting a hold on the draft until 28 March! He gave me no reason to be suspicious, so we agreed that he would hold onto the truck until the funds cleared. In the meantime I made 3 or 4 arrangements to meet up with him to sign a Bill of Sale. Every time it was a last min text saying he wasn’t available. This is with me scheduling time off to drive the 80 miles to meet him, I never asked him to go out of his way.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="color: white"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="color: white"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="color: white">After asking numerous times if the dent was repaired, he told me yes 4 times, then when we were scheduled to meet up he would say that his uncle did not fix the dent yet.
